chapter 3

The next day, I wake up feeling frustrated Dana and I had sex last night but like always once he finishes it's done and he goes to sleep. Dana is still sleeping next to me since I woke up earlier than usual. I check my phone and see a message from Ryujin.

Anon: Good morning. I hope dinner last night was fun!

Me: Why are you up? Isn't it like 4 am there?

Anon: I have work. I wake up at 4 to get ready and eat breakfast. I leave my house around 5 or 5:15 since it's like a 35 minute drive.

Me: wow I don't know how you do that.

Anon: You get used to it. Any big plans for today?

Me: The usual. Taking care of Eva but I actually have work tonight so there's that.

Anon: I see. How was dinner last night?

Me: it was alright. My boyfriend pretty much ignored me and talked to his friend but Eva was with us so at least I had company. Then Dana and I had sex last night.

Why did I share that!?! I internally scream at myself.

Me: I'm sorry that's probably TMI.

Anon: lol it's good. I understand. We're adults and have needs.

Me: Yeah it sucks when your needs doesn't get satisfied.

I curse at myself more. I'm talking to a stranger about my sex life Ryujin didn't reply. I probably scared him away. Good going Yeji.

I go back to sleep for a little bit then I wake up again a few hours later. Dana is gone so I go to Eva's room to get her dressed and feed her breakfast.

I don't bother checking my phone because I'm kinda sad that Ryujin didn't reply to me. I did my morning routine with coffee and playing with Eva. Feed her lunch then put her down for her nap

I finally grab my phone to text Dana and remind him that he has to watch Eva tonight because I'm working. I smile when I see a message from Whisper hoping it's Ryujin

Anon: Sorry I didn't reply. I had to drive to work but he doesn't satisfy you? What kind of a boyfriend is that?

Me: it's okay. I figured I scared you away. And no he doesn't. He thinks of himself a lot. I remember when I was 9 months pregnant and I had to change my own tires on my car.

Anon: WHAT!? You were pregnant Wtf is wrong with him. I'd kick his ass if I was there

Me: haha oh well. I'm used to it.

Anon: That's not good. You shouldn't be used to it. You were pregnant.

I smile when he shows his caring side.

Me: it is what it is. But I can't really leave him since I won't survive by myself and be able to support Eva. Maybe he's right I won't find anyone who will accept me like he does.

Anon: I'm sorry but your boyfriend is not right. He should be encouraging you

Me: thanks. I appreciate your kind words

Anon: Feel free to come to me if you just wanna talk or rant about your boyfriend lol

Me: Do you have another messaging app? I don't really like using Whisper for messaging. Do you have kik?

Anon: I do What's your username?

Me: kitty_purrfect

Anon: that's adorable fol

Arion: Did you receive my message?

I switch to the kik app and saw a message from a .

kitty purrfect. Ryujin?

hard carryy0: Yes ma'am. At your service.

kitty purrfect: What's with your username?

hard_carryy0. I'm an Ahgase lol Got7 fan lol

kitty_purrfect: I'm a Once haha.

hard_carryy0: Eyy same company lol

I hear Eva crying so I go to her room.

"Did you have a good nap my baby?" I say to Eva. Eva does her baby laugh and I couldn't help it. I just had to give her small face a ton of kisses.

Every time I talk to Ryujin my mood just seems to improve a lot. I wonder what he looks like. I shake my head because that's a crazy thought. For all I know this guy might be a creeper. But he doesn't seem like a creeper. He seemed to really care when I was complaining about Dana.

I bring Eva down with me and I let her play in her playpen.

kitty purrfect: hey sorry my baby woke up so I had to take care of her.

hard carryy0: It's cool. I get it. It's not the same but I kinda have experience with kids. Mainly my nephew lol

kitty purrfect: How old is your nephew?

hard_carryy0: 3 years old

kitty_purrfect: He must be so cute. I love kids

hard_carryy0: I can't say the same for myself lol my nephew is pretty much the only kid like

I realize it's almost time for dinner so i quickly make dinner before Dana comes home

Speaking of the devil, Dana comes home not long after I finish making his food "Dana, please make sure Eva takes a bath tonight before bed"

"Why don't you give her a bath before you go to work? Dana ask

"Are you serious Dana? For once take care of your daughter. I feel like a maid more than your girlfriend I say.

"That's your fault. I didn't tell you that to make you feel that. You did it to yourself He says before going to our bedroom

I stand there on the verge of crying. I feel so frustrated and I feel like I'm not being heard.

I grab Eva so I can feed and bathe her before going to work. I give her to Dana and he didn't even bother to look at me.

I sign in to my computer and put on my headset. I grab my phone to message Ryujin

kitty_purrfect: hey you busy?

hard_carryy0: Not right now. Getting ready for a date. Why?

kitty_purrfect: oh nothing. I'm just at work so I'm bored.

hard_carryy0: I can still text you. It's not a big deal

kitty_purrfect: no no it's okay. Have fun at your date. Don't worry about me

hard_carryy0: It's okay. I will text you okay? Date or not. I'll try my best to entertain you :)

kitty_purrfect: are you sure?

hard_carryy0: Yes ma'am. Ryujin at your service lol.

With that, I feel butterflies in my stomach. I smile looking at my phone. I thought, this guy is something else.
