6 Chapter 6

"What!" I know this is what I had always wanted but I refused to get my hopes up. I had to act naive, I needed to pretend I didn't want this to make it more believable. If I didn't do that then he might get the clue that he was just dancing to the tune I wanted. "I don't understand, I thought you'd want this?" He asked, "Scott, being your girlfriend is not a bad thing at all for me, the problem is that I don't want to develop feelings for a guy whom the chances of ever meeting in person is one in a million, so my answer is no, I'm sorry but I can't be your girlfriend", I replied.

He sent a disappointed emoji and I really felt bad for him but it was better that way. If I had quickly said yes, I don't know what would have happened to me, I had to find a way to make him assist me.

Even after saying no to him, we were still good friends. We kept talking with each other on daily basis as usual. There was no awkwardness between us, it's like he never asked me to be his girlfriend.

Things started changing, he was rarely online again, for weeks he never replied my messages. I was confused, I didn't know what happened, if he wasn't going to talk he should have told me. The following day, I saw his message, he apologized saying that he was really busy at work and didn't have time for himself, so I forgave him.

"Honey, when is your birthday? I'd love to get you something special", Scott said.

"my birthday had long passed, it was on the 25th of January", I replied.

"oh too bad. Anyways, I can prepare for next year, I have 3 months to prepare. what do you need? iPhone, money, jewelry, I'll give you anything you want to the best of my abilities"

"no honey, I don't need your money or any of those things you mentioned. There's only one thing I need from you".

This was the opportunity I was waiting for.
