<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>She let out a sigh as she let her phone drop onto the bed. It had been more than 2 hours and the time she scheduled for writing was over.</p><p>Sealo was a punctilious, borderline chronemic person. Everything and everyone had their time, nothing was random and everything in her life followed a schedule.</p><p>This was how she got perfect grades, became employee of the month and the discipline was what she had ensured in her writing schedule and social media.</p><p>There was a time to write, a time to comment on other writers' posts, a time to reply to comments, and then a time to share post links; doing things systematically like this helped her keep track and make sure everything was done.</p><p><br/></p><p>She knew the time for everything in her life. Her body and muscles knew the time for it all. Yet here she was, thinking about his sly voice and witty comments when it was time to write.</p><p>When he joined the group, he seemed at first snobbish, off putting maybe, yet he never spoke out of line and had a sense of humor.</p><p>It wasn't until that one conversation that night did she realize just how interesting he was, how his head was so full of thoughts and his mood made her rather boring night more colorful.</p><p>He was a brilliant writer and an even more impressive conversationalist. Nothing was forced; all his replies brought a smile, chuckle and the occasional blush to her face.</p><p><br/></p><p>She picked up her phone again and dropped a message on the group, nothing serious, yet as always, almost instantaneously as she checked, he had viewed it.</p><p>No reaction, no reply, nothing at all in the group.</p><p>She went to his DMs. "Hey."</p><p>The next moment her phone buzzed. "Hello my Queen, whatever shall you need?" He replied dramatically with another one of his unique and humorous stickers.</p><p>"You haven't posted anything yet, I thought you said you would drop something today?" </p><p>"I did, didn't I? Well, the day isn't over yet. Is it?"</p><p>Sealo looked at the time and realized it wasn't.</p><p>"11:55pm isn't over?" </p><p>"You'd be surprised at the magic these fingers can work in just five minutes." He replied with a moon-face emoji and immediately Sealo's face lit up with a smile at his wittiness.</p><p>"First time I'm hearing of a man boasting about his 5 minute ability." </p><p>"Well before one can be ready for long battles, he has to master the art of the short ones. Isn't that so?"</p><p>"No one loves a drawn-out match that is a heartache to watch."</p><p>Her eyes widened at how brazen he was and she quickly shooed him away to write his story.</p><p>"Wait for me my Queen, for I know with me 5 minutes can feel like a long time and without me, it can feel like an eternity."</p><p>"Boy bye!" She rebuked him, laughing into the night.</p><p><br/></p><p>His online status turned red and there she was again with the silence. She still felt the warmth of the laughter on her cheeks and hated how silent her room felt.</p><p>"Five minutes huh..." She murmured to herself as she heard her bedside clock tick.</p><p>She texted her friend, wanting to find a way to pass the time.</p><p>"Hey, babe, you up?" Sealo asked.</p><p>"I am, what's up? Isn't this writing time?" Her friend Ayo replied.</p><p>"Usually it is, but I'm lazing about right now."</p><p>Next came a call.</p><p>"You? Lazing around?" Ayo's laughter filled the room.</p><p>"Are you done?" Sealo replied after ten seconds of dry laughter.</p><p>"Yeah sure," Ayo replied, gasping for breath.</p><p>"So who is he?"</p><p>"As how na, what do you mean who is he?"</p><p>"Don't give me that, Sealo. I, of all people, know how meticulous you are about time, you don't laze around unless something happens. You don't sound sick, so who is he?"</p><p>"He is nobody!" Sealo screamed yet her mouth was curved into a smile.</p><p>Ayo switched the call to a video call.</p><p>"Oya lie to my face, who is he?"</p><p>Sealo smiled before replying; "There is no he."</p><p>"Bullshit! You can't even say it without blushing."</p><p>11:58 Sealo's eyes drifted to the time and wondered just how long five minutes actually was.</p><p>"Here I was texting you to ask after your well-being and you're ridiculing me for talking about some phantom man." Sealo attacked defensively.</p><p>"Ohh, he's got you good hasn't he. Is he someone I know?"</p><p>"No."</p><p>"So there is a he! I just don't know him yet." Ayo said with another bout of laughter.</p><p>11:59 and a message came in. A link and a message, "I'm here my Queen."</p><p>"He just texted you didn't he!! Your eyes are literally glazed up"</p><p>"Byeee Ayoo!" Sealo immediately dismissed her.</p><p>"Ehhn because of man now you wa—" Sealo cut the call before she could finish her sentence and opened his chat.</p><p>"I was about to worry about your punctuality and how seriously I can take your word."</p><p>"A story for you, delivered today." He replied with a maid sticker following it. A cheeky lad.</p><p>"Delivered way too late."</p><p>"I try my best not to cum too early."</p><p>She gagged at that line, blushing before laughing at the absurdity of it.</p><p>"I guess I'll be going to read and comment on it now." Sealo replied after a moment of amusement filled hysterics </p><p>"I await your thoughts my Queen.".</p>
