Junior's Department

He placed his plate on the table beside the sofa before hitting the reply button. I’m 28 single live alone. My work is my life. Not by choice but that’s the way it worked out. And when I’m not, I read and write. I’m kind of a loner and embarrassed to say I don’t have many friends. I’m different but not sure I want to hang out with those like me. …how about you?
He glanced at his phone after it beeped. You’re going to be sorry you asked.
He snickered softly, then pressed keys. Why?
…nothing. ..You don’t mind if a girl lies a little, right?
Lie all you want. I haven’t been able to stop smiling since we started talking.
You really are good ..so I think I’m going to lie. Except for my age. I’m 23. Now for the lies… I’m very successful and very confident …not confused at all about who I am or who I’m attracted to. Love my own company. Have a wonderfully loving and adoring family. Lots of friends too. Did I mention my amazing job? I’m a complete success. …and men adore me and won’t leave me alone, so I stay in because I’m embarrassed by all the attention.
He laughed before typing. So your wedding guest list will be small?
Absolutely not! Didn’t I mention I’m a royal? All the commoners will be lining the streets.
He chuckled again at her reply. I like that. Do you live alone? Are you seeing anyone?
Yes ..and yes ..a thousand guys …maybe 2thousand …it’s so hard to keep count.
His head tilted as he thumbed the keypad. …mind if I try to work myself to the top of the list?
Sure but it may take years
He nodded as he answered. I’m okay with that
Why? …nothing about me is real
Is dressing just a hobby ..or is it more?
It’s more. Much more. Probably too much more
Then everything about you is real and I’ll prove it …the you I see in these pictures ..is it exactly who you are in your heart and soul?
Yes
…then all other ways don’t count. You’re 100% who you are in your heart and soul. Anyone measuring differently needs to be dismissed.
Who are you?
He frowned as he typed. Just a like soul who’s as confused by what he’s looking for as you are about who you are. And maybe …if we’re lucky …we can bring a little relief to each other’s confusion.
