Chapter 5 He sounds like a Stalker
Mystery Man:
Chloe, are you all right?
Chloe:
Yes, why do you ask?
Mystery Man:
I see sadness in your eyes.
Chloe:
You do?
Mystery Man:
Yes, and it makes wonder what put it there.
Chloe:
Oh, it is just there are this two guys.
Mystery Man:
Two guys? Do you have two boyfriends I do not know about now?
Chloe:
Haha, no! I have two friends that happen to be guys , and they are both dear to me.
Mystery Man:
Hmm, well, that is something then. You are blessed to have them in your life.
Chloe:
Yes, well they are my best friends.
Mystery Man:
Is there something special about one over the other?
Chloe:
I do not think so, why?
Mystery Man:
I do not know. I just want to know who my competition is I guess.
Chloe:
Competition, you have nothing to worry about there.
Mystery Man:
You just say that to make me feel better.
Chloe:
How long?
Mystery Man:
How long what?
Chloe:
How long have you been texting me?
Mystery Man:
It is hard to say, but I know I love to hear from you.
Chloe:
L-Love is that too big a w-word?
Mystery Man:
No, it only has four letters.
Chloe:
How many letters does your name have in it?
Mystery Man:
I rather not say.
Chloe:
Awe, why not?
Mystery Man:
I am not ready for you to know my identity yet.
Chloe:
What? You know my name.
Mystery Man:
Ah, so I do, and it is a beautiful one just like you.
Chloe:
I am not beautiful.
Mystery Man:
Are you kidding? You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met.
Chloe:
Do you live in Paris?
Mystery Man:
Yes, is that not obvious?
Chloe:
You sure you are not married?
Mystery Man:
Definitely not, what about you?
He knows she is not, but waits to see her reaction to his answer. He blushes as he awaits her response.
Chole:
No, I am single as ever.
Mystery Man:
Good just checking, my dear.
Chloe:
Will, I ever met you in person?
Mystery Man:
You have, but do not know it yet.
Chloe:
Wait, how could that be possible? There is no way, someone, as kind as you could have passed paths with me.
Mystery Man:
Oh, but Chloe, sweetheart, you have many times.
Chloe:
How do I know you are not a bad person?
Mystery Man:
I see that it is just it you do not.
Chole:
You are not on the run from the police, are you?
Mystery Man:
No!
He chuckles a bit and thinks, honestly Chole if I were that bad I would not bother to text you.
Chloe:
This is a relief because I know you are a decent man.
Mystery Man:
True, as ever my dear.
Mystery Man:
I can see you from here.
Chloe:
See me from where?
Mystery Man:
I say that is for me to know and you not to find out.
Chole blushes at the thought that he can see her from where she stands. She wonders who on earth he could be anyway? The whole thing is rather a puzzlement.
It is not like she knows what his interest is other than her. She sighs and blushes more at her silly thoughts.
"Chole, did you hear from him again?" Pollen asks.
"Yes, I sure did," Chloe replies.
"Good, so how did it go?" Pollen asks next.
"He says he can see me but says it is not for me to know what direction he is in now," Chloe explains.
"He sounds like a stalker, but I trust your judgment," Pollen remarks.
"Ha, he is not a stalker, an admirer yes, but not a stalker," Chloe replies.
"If you say so, Chloe," Pollen responds.
Chloe's POV:
She shakes her head. She can not believe Pollen calls the mystery man a stalker. Honestly, he is not a creep.
The guy is way too kind for such a thing. She is sure of it. The thing is she does not know how to prove it.
Mystery Man's POV:
He thinks goodness that was a close call. Good thing, she did not look to her far-right or she would have seen me.
He believes he will have to be more careful from here on out. He sighs as he ponders how to prove he loves her.
