A celebrity? Someone famous pretending to be one

Caffeine_Addict

That wasn’t a no …she replied, her eyes narrowing as she waited for an answer.

Caffeine_Addict

Nothing that exciting, unfortunately. The truth is, I was kinda stalked once. And yeah, I know that makes me sound completely lame and unmanly.

Florence_71

Haha! I found you!!

She stared at what she had typed and realised maybe he was actually serious and could potentially be suffering from some kind of trauma.

Florence_71

Sorry, that sounded a lot funnier inside my head.

Caffeine_Addict

Nah, all good. That was kinda funny actually.

Jenny winced, wondering how to proceed.

Florence_71

Caffeine_Addict

Well, this conversation has turned south rather fast. She’d almost been enjoying the banter and now she felt like she owed it to the poor guy to hang around a little longer and make sure she hadn’t offended him. Maybe she could try to turn the chat around.

Florence_71

Well, technically, you still haven’t told me what you

Caffeine_Addict

That’s true. I’m self-employed.

Wow, this was like pulling teeth.

Florence_71

Doing?
