So it’s been 7 days since T accepted my Money Duo invite<\/a>, and we’ve been saving together since. T has come to visit twice since then, but always brings a work laptop with the excuse “I work with one of the big four, remember?” ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s my line, smh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I like T, and T has reciprocated some level of affection too. Call that return on investment <\/em>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second time T came around was one evening after work. T was also coming from work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had my speaker blasting to one of my favourite playlists, “Chill Vibes”<\/a> while getting ready to shower and get dinner. After I was done with the bathroom, T arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I threw some clothes on and went to get the door. I was so jumpy, but I tried to keep it together. We hugged lightly and had a brief chat about how the day went for us both. I interrupted the conversation with, “Have you had something to eat? I was about to make dinner.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While waiting for a response, I stood up and went to the kitchen to get T a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next thing that happened blew my mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

T began to sing along to the song playing in the background from the new playlist I had switched to. Oh, my world, T\u2019s voice!!! T\u2019s voice was the best thing I had listened to that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T was singing along to Ed Sheeran<\/em>, but I felt like T was referring to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShould this be the last thing I see
I want you to know it’s enough for me
‘Cause all that you are is all that I’ll ever need”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I paused for a bit in the kitchen, and took it all in. How did I not know T could sing this well OMG ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was pumped to finally shoot my shot verbally, because, in my mind \u201cIs this my cue?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I held on for a bit. Not so fast, Ope. What else don’t you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took a bottle of Berry Blast with two glasses to the living room where T was sitting and acted like all that didn’t just happen. Apparently, T planned to order food instead and asked me what I wanted. I was trying to be modest because I wasn’t the one paying. It’s only right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All my fear of getting an L <\/em>with T was gradually fading away. T was getting comfortable with me – at least comfortable enough to crack some very dead jokes ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food came about half an hour later, and we chatted for a bit while waiting. T is my friend now, but I wouldn’t mind more ?, I can listen to that voice all day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was getting my ROI with T. It was all roses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could have sworn that shooting my shot that day<\/a> was too risky. Yes, actually, it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But love, just like any other investment follows the same principle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, High Risk, High Returns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll give you the updates tomorrow as usual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, let me take this all in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk soon.

Love,
Ope ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
