Yuri -
"Hey, Delilah I already accepted your request."

Me -
"Oh right, I saw it na."

I woke up today and chose violence, for God's sake, he accepted my request, but he is still not trying to message me on messenger nor a DM on my Instagram, and he hasn't replied to my DM on the dating app, great...

I'll just ignore him and his facade, if he doesn't want me, I will not want him either, easy as that, well at least I'm done with stalking him and trying to know his name without even asking.

It's been five hours now, I can't take it anymore...

I came up with an idea on how he would chat me willingly, since we both have an interest in photography, I'll be editing some of the photos I took, then upload it on my story on Instagram, then act like I've been on a photoshoot.

Ang talino mo talaga Delilah...

I took my laptop then opened photoshop to start editing some of the photos I took before the start of pandemic, after editing the photos, I took my phone then opened Instagram, I first changed the settings on my story to let Stephen, the only person I intend to let view my story, just because it's impossible for me to go out, and it would confuse a lot of my friends, they would say.

Paano ka nakalabas?

Bago pandemic pa yang photos na yan ah.

And yes, almost everyone I know and have acquainted with know that I have strict parents, and can't easily get permission to go out.

So, after editing the who can view my story settings on Instagram, I uploaded the photo I edited, then added a test that says, Unplanned photoshoots are always the best.

The bait has been successfully planted...

Let's see if this boy is not gonna reply on this story...

I sat back on my chair then kept watching the who viewed my stories on my laptop. I have been watching for fifteen minutes, and still no sign of him, I stood up then got out of my room to get something to eat and drink, because I was parched and hungry, and my mind has been occupied of this damn boy name Stephen Manuel, I got hooked without even knowing.

After preparing my food and drink, I walked back to my room, before putting down my food on the table, I took a peek at my laptop to see if he viewed my story yet, but to my luck,  he did not, I am frustrated by the fact that I am here dong everything in my power to make him notice me, I sat down then ate my food while watching the ever boring game of,  will he notice me or not.

At least I'm good at cooking, this food's taste is so divine...

I while I'm in the middle of eating, I refreshed the web browser to see if he had view my story.

Well, he did...

BUT HE DID NOT REACT TO MY FUCKING BAIT.

He got me questioning my credibility as a human, never in my whole life have I done this to a guy, and to a guy met online at that, I guess it's back to drawing board, I sat back at my chair then closed my eyes to think of other ways to get him to reply to my story.

We did talk about photography, editing, and then cats, we talked about that, I don't play valorant, he likes volleyball, I'm really not the sporty type, the game I only know is billiards, judging by his photos on Facebook he likes to travel a lot, specifically in La Union, I think that's his favorite place to travel, he has a Mother he adores, well, it's sad to see that he has a broken family, apparently, his Father had a mistress, I admire his Mother, she raised Stephen single handedly, he is an only child like me, that's about as far as I can go, I can't seem to find anything about his exes though, the exes were what I was intending to find, but I found a whole different intel on him.
