Skye

it's been a steady month since Carter had officially come out of the closet, and introduced his boyfriend Shawn to his family.

As per what Carter told me, Blaze was extremely shocked and his parents took it quite well, they were a bit surprised at first but then congratulated him, and told him that he had nothing to be afraid of, they would love him and accept him no less.

Carter was over the moon and was currently on a vacation in India with Shawn. The both of them thanked me profusely before they left for will the support I have provided and for keeping their secret to myself when they were unsure of what to do.

Carter made sure to send me videos every single day of him having fun with 'the love of his life' he said and I quote. Honestly, they are extremely cute and well I can't say much except for I SHIP IT

I got weird stares from the people sitting around me in the dainty coffee shop I was currently in, listening to my playlist consisting of the absolute legends, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, U2, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses, Green Day, Def Leopard, Metallica and Iron Maiden. Yup, that's a lot. But not enough to fill the everlasting void in me.

We're getting diverted from the topic again, the weird looks give me a hint that I said that out loud, which knowing me, wouldn't be surprising.

Anyways, out of all the videos and pictures Carter sent me, one of them stood out the most. It was a video of just him, drunk on a beach in Kerala. He started the video by saying "BLUUEEEEEEE I made up a story to entertain you today" he said in a slow, slurred speech "ok so, basically, Zeus has a son, let's say Jason" I doubt that he knows that Zeus actually does have a son called Jason but anyway "so Zeus takes his son, Jason for a holiday to Kerala cause he wanted to make an ad for it" for what? I have no idea "and they went to the same place I am at, and made a sandcastle outta Kerala sand. Zeus us threw light ning' at us but instead of rain, popcorn no no no wait, godcorn, you get it? cause like it's produced by the gods for the gods." Okayyyyyyy I have no more words "Anyways, back to my story, The movie," he passed for a second, looking confused "or was it ad? I can't remember, but whatever it was, was being directed by Medusa. Zeus liked medusa's movie so he told her to direct another one" He said with his slow motor skills and gave me a wide grin before ending the video

Crazy Carter

Anyways, before Carter left, he made a Tinder account for me as well as some other accounts on random dating apps. Apparently there's this thing called Phone Swap. It's a dating show where you meet people through the app, and meet for the first time on said show. On the show, y'all would swap phones and the other person can basically check everything on your phone while you can do it to theirs.

It's creepy. And being the type of person I am, I messed around on the app, obviously, a bit before deleting my account.

I led someone on the app on cause well why not, besides he was looking only for a hookup. So I led him on for a while, before telling him that I wasn't looking for a hookup and I wanted something real. He had warned me multiple times but, when life gives you lemons, ask for salt and tequila. That's my motto of the month, yes I am spiritual.

Anywho, when I told him that, he kinda lost it, but not a lot. I self defended myself.

The last notes of our conversation ended up like this;

@Masterbates:
Go to hell bitch

No, can't do, Satan has a restraining order against me

And that's it, I was blocked. And then I wallowed in my sadness and deleted my account. So now, here I am. Doing absolutely nothing in a cafe, about to lose my shit again.

My phone beeps again motioning me to look at the lit-up screen.

@Boo_boo_bear
Hi.

And the conversation has now started damn.

...

Ok this guy is hilarious. He seems genuine. I like his character but then again, you can't trust no one on the internet today, so we decided to keep ourselves anonymous and not share any personal information, no pictures, no audio messages, no names, nothing. It's better that way.

If you're wondering that he'd figure out who I am cause of my username, then I'm not really sorry to inform you that you're wrong. My username is id.become_gay.for_rihanna; classic Carter, and his is rainbowunicorn.

And I know it's a guy due to the inappropriate jokes he cracks and from the lack of his basic women knowledge. And I'm pretty sure he's a guy unless he or she is extremely good at catfishing.

We've been talking for almost half a month now, and I've had the lingering thought of meeting him. I really want to.

So I decided to tell him that.

I want to meet you. I think it's time now to disclose ourselves. What do you think?

I messaged him, waiting eagerly for his response already. 
...

It's been about two hours and h still doesn't reply, he has never done that.

He finally replied;
Are you sure?

No I wanted to put my life on the line and ask you for the fun of it.

I communicated back, hoping he'd note the sarcasm, he will unless he's daft.

We will see.

You're gonna make me wait?

Well yes.

Just tell me if that's a yes or a no, please please please x10🙏

My response is for me to know and you to find out. 😂😂😂

How will I find out unless you tell me

I guess we'll never know then

Cheeky bugger. I will meet him, somehow I'll find out and I will.
