chapter 2

I woke up feeling groggy today. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, went downstairs, made coffee, then back upstairs to check on Eva. Dana is already gone for work so it's just Eva and I until later.

My work is usually at night since Dana works in the daytime. It works out well so we don't need a babysitter for Eva.

I check my phone and see that I have some notifications from Whisper. I quickly open it and I see a few more messages asking my age, sex and location. Without realizing It, I smile when I see a message from the person from last night.

Anon: Good morning! I hope you slept well last night and have a good day today.

Me: good morning and thanks. I slept okay. How did you sleep?

No reply. Maybe they're busy at work. I then hear Eva cry so I go to her room.

"Good morning Eva!" I say with a smile.

I never saw myself being a mother this early in my life. I was a mess before I found out I was pregnant. Going to parties and hooking up with guys.

My phone suddenly goes off.

Anon: Sorry got busy at work. How come you only slept okay?

Me: it's okay. And yeah just okay. Had a fight with my boyfriend last night.

Anon: Ahh I see. That's cool you have a boyfriend. How long have you two been together?

Me: over a year. We have a daughter together.

Anon: Oh wow. How old is your daughter?

Me: she's one. She's actually the reason why we're together.

Anon: I bet your daughter is cute though. I think it's safe for me to assume you're a female? LolMe: Yes I am. Are you in a relationship?

Anon: Nope. Broke up with my girlfriend not that long after we graduated high school. She wanted to try something new.

Me: that sucks. How's work?

Anon: Soooo fun. Saw a coworker's buttcrack today. Another one talking about how his step daughter's friends are sexy so there's that.

Me: that's gross. For both of em haha

Anon: Yea that's why I eat lunch alone at my desk than join them lol

I bring Eva down with me and make breakfast for her. We spend most of the morning just cuddling and playing

Then it's time to feed Eva lunch. I was gonna do laundry today but I got distracted talking to the guy from last night. Assuming he's a guy. They did say they had a girlfriend. I should ask for their name.

Me: hey if you don't mind me asking. Whats your name?

I finish feeding Eva and it's almost time for her nap. I play with her for a little bit before taking her back to her room for nap time.

Anon: Ryujin. Hbu?

Me: Yeji. Are you Asian?

Anon: Yes ma'am I am. Korean.

Me: omg same. What are the odds of two Koreans chatting on whisper haha where do you live? I guess our time difference aren't that much since you said you're at work

Anon: US. Moved here when I was 11. Where are you from?

Me: PEI

5Anon: Where's that?

Me: Canada. Prince Edward Island.

Anon: lol I feel dumb. Didn't know that.

I laugh out loud a little bit. I thought that was cute. I don't know why but I just feel a connection with this guy. Ryujin. Sounds like a cool name.

Dana is home from work now. I feel stress again. He comes over to me and gives me a kiss. I don't feel anything anymore when he kisses me. It feels just like a routine. I don't know if we're just comfortable with each other so that's why there's no more sparks or if there ever was sparks between us to begin with.

"Do you want to go out to eat?" He ask me.

"Sure. Where to?" I ask in return.

"Chinese? We can have dinner with Jared and his wife and kid" he says before going to our room

Anon: I'm going home!

Me: Yay. Any plans for tonight?

Anon: Probs hang out with my bestfriend or annoy my sisters. Both sounds good lol hbu

Me: You have a sister? And going out to dinner with my boyfriend and his friend.

Anon: BRB. Driving

I smile looking at that. At least he's responsible. For some reason, I really enjoy talking to this person.

Eva is awake so I get her dressed for dinner. I look at her and it angers me remembering what Dana said about her not being his. They look so much alike.

14I walk downstairs and I see Dana playing games again. I sigh as I walk to the kitchen. Dana is not necessarily a bad guy. He does provide for us and I feel ungrateful that I'm not happy with our relationship but I can't help but feel stuck.

Anon: Back and yes I have 2 sisters. 1 older and 1 younger. The older has a kid and he's like my mini me and I don't think my sister likes that lol

Me: why wouldn't she like that?

Anon: She says be I joke around a lot and I can be too much so she doesn't need another me in her life lol

Me: you seem like a cool person. I'd probably have fun hanging out with you

Anon: Why thank you. You seem cool yourself.

Me: not really. I'm actually really lame. But I do have to go. We have to go to dinner

Anon: okay. Have fun!

While walking out the door, Dana grabs my ass. Which I know it means he wants to do it tonight. Grabbing my ass is his form of foreplay. I roll my eyes and continue walking to the car. it's gonna be a long night.
