Collecting His Jar of Hearts

Love At First Video Chat

I tap on some keys, heart fluttering, staring at the ridiculously large letters that say “Meetme”, and the creepy smile that goes with it. For an eighteen year old I been through the ultimate heartache of losing my first love to another woman. I am ready just put myself out there. I click on handful of selfies that are super cute

“Quirky girl who believes in exploring life fullest! Looking date see what’s out there! Who wants to join me?”

My Meetme Profile

A couple days pass, and I talk to handfuls of people. I don’t want to just be a booty call, or deal with some jerks who don’t know how to treat me right. There a bunch of older people, and I get shivers up my spine. No thank you. There just has to be someone!

“Excuse me, Miss? My daughter and I are going out to club, can we get a fitting room?” A womans voice says behind me, and I jump a bit startled.

“Of course, there’s a number, and feel free pick a door!” I Yell out with a bright smile, but wonder how the heck a little goth girl ended up working for a fashion store

The two come out in the tiniest of dresses, and look in the mirror checking their bodies out. I never had the self esteem, or even the want to go out clubbing. I can’t dance, my body wasn’t built for those kinda clothes, and I never wanted anyone ever conceive me as being “easy”. To each their own I’m glad that they are having a good time.

Hi my name is Bentley -Joker66

I click on the little picture to see more of his profile. Tall ✔️

Has job ✔️

Almost same age ✔️

Blonde blue eyes skinny sexy ✔️

Country boy ❓

The country boy was from a small town of Rockport Indiana. My mind slipped to the show Buckwild where a bunch teens drank, went on four wheels, and had a bunch of fun! It is a total different world than these guys who just play women for an easy fuck in this city.

“Hey there, I’m Hailey ☺️” ~ Harley1229 

I flipped back to his profile, and found myself lost in his blue eyes. His smile so genuine and radiates having a fun time.

I smile texting back and forth with him, and I find myself losing interest in all the other notifications. We talk about what we are looking for, we talk about his work at HomeGreats warehouse, and we talk about the heartbreaks of previous relationships.

“Hey he’s cute! Are you guys dating?” My manager says behind me, and I jump ten feet “Don’t worry girl, it’s dead and closing time. I think you should totally go for it.” she elbowed me laughing before closing up the changing room area.

“I think I really like him.” I smile softly as I make my way out of the store, and on my way home.

“Wanna vidchat?” ~Joker66

“Sure!” Harley1229 

I open the front door to the house, and run up both flights of stairs to get to my room. Thankfully everyone is asleep, at work, or too busy to notice me. The phone starts ringing, my heart is beating out of my chest, and with quivering hands I hit the green button to video chat.

There he was my country prince charming with his brown hat, full beard, and ripped up clothes. My heart couldn’t be beating any harder, and my face gets extremely hot as I can’t help but blush. The two of us talk for hours about our lives, and I can’t believe how much the two of us have in common. As the night grows closer to an end I ask him if he will stay on the video chat with me, because I dont want to have nightmares. With a smile he promises he will keep me safe, and my eyes grow heavy before finally dropping.

3 Months Later

I wake up out of bed, and the first thing I do is check my phone.

“GOOD Mornin Butiful, hope you have a gr8 day. Happy Bday”~ Joker66

I smile brightly that he thought of me this morning even though his spelling is just down right terrible. I lift my phone up taking a selfie, and press send excited to get one back. Every day always feels amazing having someone who is as interested in me as I am them. He is just as broken, just as weird, and he is extremely sexy which is a plus.

I throw on a cute sweater, a black pair of leggings, and get ready for the normal workday that awaits. I am excited to get my check, because today is not just a normal day, but it is the day I buy a ticket to Indiana to meet and live with my soul mate!

I skip my way down the street knowing soon this will be the last day I have to see the same couple trees. I stare at my phone hopeful to get another text, but things start getting a little quiet. My heart starts getting heavy that maybe he isn’t still into me?

Panda: Hey sis, why don’t you stop by my place in New York, and hang out here for little bit before just hopping on plane and seeing some guy you never met. Take some time to really think about what you want, besides your niece and nephews wanna see you.

I haven’t seen my sister since we were on a bus together from California to New York. It will be so much fun to be able to spend time with her, and give me a chance to really decide if this is meant to be or not. I know in my heart I wanna move there, and be with my soulmate, but I am also afraid to risk everything just to find out he was interested in someone else.

“Vid chat me tonite I hav a surprise 4 u” ~Joker66

Squeeeeeeeee he’s got a gift for me, and he finally texted me! A smile puts so hard on my face, and it reminds me just how in love with him I am. I skip my way to work humming “She’s my kinda crazy” by Brantly Gilbert the song that he dedicated to both of us. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have such an incredible person.

I enter my work to see so many people picking out outfits for their Christmas parties. Some plan to go out partying at the few clubs that are open, other older wealthier women are getting outfits for their Christmas dinners they are hosting, and one gave me a good giggle as they
