My Eyes Adore You

What Chris Wants

You:
Why aren't you doing red room?🥺

Chris😍:
Because I wanted to talk to you.

You:
You still could've done red room. I would
have stayed awake after to talk to you.

Chris😍:
No really. I'm not feeling it tonight
anyways.

You:
Is everything okay? Do you want to
talk about it?

Chris😍:
I don't want to burden you with my
problems. It's alright.

You:
Stop being like that, I asked if you wanted
to talk about it. If I didn't care I wouldn't
have asked. Don't hold it in. You can talk
to me.

Chris😍:
I don't know. I just want somebody who
genuinely cares about me, and not my
clout. I think I find one and then when
I don't post them they get mad. Which
yeah I get, you want people to know I'm
taken, but they want it like a week in and
I'm not about that. I like privacy in the
beginning. It's new, it's fragile, nobody
seems to get that. They just want it known
right away. They don't take the time to
really get to know me either. They see my
lives and think that's all there is to me and
it's not. There's so much more. I don't know.
Sorry for ranting a little bit.

You read the message and your heart breaks for Chris.

You:
Honestly I couldn't even begin to
imagine what you go through when
it comes to relationships. I'm sure you
have a lot of girls bowing at your
feet to be with you, but if none of them
want to get to know the real you then
they aren't worthy of your time. You seem
like such a sweet gentleman. Yes you can
be very seductive on your lives, but all the
boys are. It's what you guys do. You'll find
the right girl one day. Don't give up so fast.

Chris's POV
She is saying all the right things. It's like she's known me for years. Nobody sees the romantic side of me. They see the persona I put on in front of the camera. Yes I can be like that. But all I really want is somebody to love me, flaws and all. Somebody who can deal with my high spurts of energy, but also deal with me when I'm down on myself. Somebody who can help pick me up when I'm in my dark space. I want to be seen and loved for the person I am, not the seductive tiktoker who calls everybody baby.

I text her back a really short and simple text.

Me:
Yeah, I guess you're right.

Hopefully she doesn't take it the wrong way.
