Dangerously in Love

The Next Two Days

She begins her day with a cup of tea and biscuits. It's still 7 AM in the morning. She thought to her self, "The last two days were interesting. This stranger came up out of nowhere on my Instagram and I can connect with him quickly and on a deeper level. I'm curious about where this leads me." 

"Ping." Her phone rings. 

She quickly grabs her phone to see who is it from and it is him. Ivan Dimitri. She felt excitement in her chest and she is smiling when she read the text. 

"Hey Baby" - Ivan wrote. 

She thought, "Whoa... he calls me Baby already... this should be interesting." 

Without thinking a lot and it still feels weird to her she just replied a short, "Hello." 

And Ivan then replied, "How are you doing today?" 

She thought that Ivan was nice and thoughtful by asking how her day is... 

She replied, "Good. I just woke up." 

"Good morning to you baby... How was your night?" 

She smiles in reading his text and she felt a warmth in her heart when Ivan asked that question. 

"Umm... my night was good. How was your night?" - She replied. 

Ivan quickly replied, "I've been busy... working... but overall good." 

She begins to compare her past relationship with this new one. She thought, "Wow... Andre never calls me Baby...and he never asked how I'm doing... what am I doing for the past sixteen years with him and to compare that to Ivan whom I just met online for the last two days and it's like a huge difference." 

"Ping."  Another notification on her phone. 

Ivan writes, "What's your plan for today?" 

Waking up from her comparing thoughts she begins to write, "Not much... I have a meeting with my boss today at 3 PM so I should be preparing my self for that."   

Ivan replied, "I see... I hope you have a good day." 

She then replied, "Thank you." 

She closes her phone and sipping her tea. She thought to her self, "this guy is interesting... I'm wondering where this would lead me... the thoughts that he found her on suggestion list on Instagram is really weird, suspicious, and funny." 

Because of these thoughts, it leads her into a Google search to find out more about Ivan. To her surprise, she can't find any. His profile on Instagram shows that he is a wealthy and businessman. 

A very important person who does bitcoin, cryptocurrency, investments, loves to read, has gone to Africa several times, went on a private jet, and all that jazz. Which makes it interesting for her. But her heart is saying everything on his online profile are sounded too good to be true. 

She then texts her best friend, Mark. Mark lives in Australia and they haven't seen each other in five years but they stayed close to each other. Mark, it's like a brother to her. She needed his opinion about Ivan. So she texted him. 

"Babes, I got this guy, Ivan Dimitri from Instagram DM that WhatsApp me and call me. He seemed nice. But I can't find him on Google Search. What do you think?" 

After a while, due to time differences, Mark didn't reply but then he finally replied after 2 hours of her text saying, "Okay, send me photos and details. Send me his Instagram and I will tell you, babes. I'm the number one stalker, hahaha..." 

She laughs. Mark always managed to make her laughed. She then replies, "https://instagram.com/ivan_dimitri?igsshid=102w1ipcglslf - that's his username. He likes to call me. (Sending Mark, Ivan's recent picture) , This is his recent pic. He said he's 43 years old. He's from Georgia." 

After a while, Mark then replied, "Babes, he doesn't seem real. His Instagram is all about expensive posts. So that's fake to me. The only WAY to double-check is a video call. Not normal call. Video call. If you're interested. Just be upfront. Say, I need to have a video call of you in order for us to continue to talk. If he says no, or too early to do that. He's fake. And block him." 

Then she said, "Ok, will do. Thanks babes :)" 

Mark then added, "Babes. He's fake. I double looked. He's fake and I'm the best stalker hahaha..." 

She laughs. 

"But as I said, to be safe, do a video call. Cause I might be wrong. But I know I'm right. Hahahaha. I'm not God. I can be wrong. Hahaha. " 

She then asked Mark, "How is he fake?" 

Mark replied, "The things he posts are about materialistic stuff and showing off. Number one rule of a fake person." 

She added, "He said that he's a Christian and also like Hillsong Worship. What else that makes you think he's fake?" 

Mark replied," Nah, he's fake. Doesn't come across as Hillsong. He hasn't posted anything since July 2019. Babes, he's fake. He uses that page to catch innocent girls. Just be careful and his followers are fake. Screenshot your messages if you don't mind. If it's uncomfortable for you to send then don't send." 

She shares her conversation with Ivan to Mark that basically saying how he falls in love with her and how he knows her deeply even though it's been two days, etc. All that jazz. 

Mark replied, "Babes, block him and tell him to go fuck himself. Tell him to do a video call with you. Trust me, he is going to say he is busy or not now. And then you can say Bye, thanks to you Mr Fake....hahaha" 

She laughs. 

Mark then added, "Tell him also to take a photo of him with four fingers next to his face. How did he contacted you?" 

She replied, "Instagram DM. He said he found me on the suggestion list." 

Mark then replied, "Yeah... that happens. Do a video call, and if I'm wrong, then I'm a shit stalker. Hahaha." 

She replied, "Hahaha.. okay then... Thanks for the advice, babes! Love you..." 

Mark quickly replied, "Of course... anytime! <heart emoji> " 

She begins to think about her conversation with Mark. "Wow... all this time... he is fake?! I mean, yeah, he was too early in saying things like "I love you so much that you don't know how much it hurts... I love you more than you love your self... or things like I could never find someone better than you, Baby... You are my world." I mean.... it is flattering but is it true tho? How can someone who we just met for two days and been calling with each other says things like that or have deep feelings like that? This is so weird. I wonder why this is happening to me. I mean after Bill the Scammer, the work scammer, the things that I almost get hypnotized just over a bike thing... then this happens? I mean... Bill the Scammer was also interesting because he wants to marry me and he said that he was from the UK but his accent is Nigerian. When Bill contacted me, I was still with Andre, so he was my safety net. Because when Bill contacted me, it was on loudspeaker and Andre heard it. Andre was like 'Nope.... he's a scammer.' So then, he saved me from him. Bill asked questions like, do you live by your self? How your parents are like, what do you do for work, etc which is quite scary? Bill also contacted me via Instagram but I can tell immediately that his profile is fake. So I didn't go for it. This time, with Ivan... this is something different. There's this gut feeling in my heart that he found me for a reason. That he loves me for a reason. That we met for a reason and a purpose. But what is it?"
