Chapter 41 : His chapter

NIALL

May 15th, 2018

I was so close to ask her to marry me when we were in Spain. I kept looking at her ring finger, imagining what the ring I had bought would look on her hand, and telling myself that now that we were official, anything was possible, and I wanted it. I wanted the impossible, I wanted everything. The words "marry me" almost escaped my lips exactly 11 times and even now, I was wondering how I actually stopped myself from just doing it.

We were back in California for a few days and I had convinced her to spend her time in my house instead to go back to hers. Most likely, Louis was there with Eleanor or he was spending all his time at her place. Either way, I thought we were better at my house but I knew that eventually, she'd want to see Louis and get back in her stuff anyway.

I woke up and blinked a few times as the sun peeked through the curtains but not enough to light the room. It was dark but I could see clearly and when I turned around, I realized she was laying on her back, completely naked, and the covers were only hiding one of he legs. She was still asleep, her hair messy around her head, and I couldn't help but reach for my cock as my eyes roamed on her. I got on my knees gently, making sure I wouldn't make the mattress move too much, and let one of my hands run on her breasts while I grabbed my dick with the other, stroking it slowly. I rubbed my thumb on one of her nipples until it got hard and finally, I let my fingertips brush down her body to reach between her legs, her skin so soft against mine. Slowly, I moved one of her knees before letting two of my fingers run on her slit. The more I was touching her, the harder I was getting and I moved closer to her on my knees just to rub the tip of my cock on her nipple.

"Jesus Christ." I whispered before she moved lightly in her sleep, letting out a low whimper.

I stopped moving and waited until she did too to continue touching her, my heart skipping a beat. The sensation was incredible and it made me want to rub my dick all over her body. I turned my body slightly and reached for her lips with my dick this time, feeling myself get even hornier when she licked her lips. It brushed on the tip of my cock and I let out a low groan as my eyes fluttered. I knew the whole thing was turning me on more than it should and all I could think about was getting between her legs and pushing my cock deep inside her.

Instead, I reached for her pussy again, rubbing one of my fingers gently on her clit as I felt her get wetter. Her body jerked a bit and she moaned low again before I let out an other curse word and slipped two fingers inside her, moving them in and out of her extremely slowly. I could hear how wet she was and I felt my cock throb in my hand. I was so turned on by her that I could barely believe I was doing that but she was so gorgeous, laying there completely naked in my white sheets, and the way she made me hard was just un-fucking-believable. I finally moved between her legs very slowly only to rub the tip of my dick on her clit. It slid easily due to how wet she was from me fingering her and this time, she let out a louder moan as one of her legs twitched. I jerked off harder between her legs as I pushed my thumb inside of her and rubbed her clit harder with one of my fingers until I was closer to an orgasm and without thinking, I took my hand away and pushed the tip of my cock inside her. Her walls pressed around it and I knew she was waking up. I took my cock out as I felt an orgasm reach me, cumming a bit inside of her before spurting on her pussy.

"Holy fuck."

I let out a moan as I watched her pussy get covered with my cum and when I looked up, her lips were parted and she was staring at me.

"Did you just cum all over me?" she asked in a low tone, her eyebrows raised.

"I.. did. I'm sorry."

Her eyes fell on my still hard cock as I shook it slightly and she bit her bottom lip before spreading her legs apart more and reaching for her pussy. I looked at her fingers gather some of my cum and slide it down until her clit. She let out a louder whimper as she started rubbing herself with the vestige of my orgasm and I couldn't help but let out an other curse word.

"You should have woken me up." she pointed, her voice a mix of a whimper and a whisper.

"I know petal but you looked so vulnerable and hot just laying there, naked and asleep." I admitted, my eyes never leaving her fingers as she flicked them on her clit. "Fuck, you love rubbing your clit with my sperm?"

I didn't know if it was my words or just the fact that she was touching herself but she let out an other moan and her back arched suddenly. I brought one of my hands closer and once again pushed two of my fingers inside her as she kept touching herself and squirming on the bed.

"I want to watch you cum, darling."

It only took her about half a minute before she started shaking and when my named escaped her lips, I could swear I got dizzy and my vision got blurred for a few seconds.

"Oh fuck, Niall!"

Something stirred in my stomach and I just stared at her as she came, grinding on my fingers and squirming even more. When she came down from her high and relaxed on the mattress, I took my fingers out and slowly lied down over her. Her eyes were still closed and her lips were still parted as she panted. I brushed my mouth against hers and she whimpered as I felt my whole body vibrate.

"You did so well, petal. That was so fucking hot."

She brought her hands to my head, slipping her fingers in my hair, before kissing me deeply. I tilted my head slightly, tasting her as she whimpered in my mouth. I swallowed her moans and when i pulled away to look in her eyes, she sighed low.

"I don't want to go to work today." she admitted, raising her nose up and making an amused smile appear on my lips.

"You have to."

"I could call in sick?" she asked, her eyebrows raised and her face full of hope.

I laughed and shook my head, making her groan immediately. "Nope, you have to go. I'll go with you, how's that?"

"Better than nothing I guess."

I chuckled and got up, searching through my stuff to find clean clothes and when I glanced at her, my lips curled again.

"Stop staring at me and get ready. I'll make coffee and we can leave." The alarm on her phone started ringing as soon as I finished my sentence and I raised my eyebrows. "See? You have to wake up. Take a shower, I'll wait for you in the kitchen."

I heard her groan and turned around when I heard a sound only to realize she had tried throwing a pillow at me but had failed miserably. I laughed and shook my head but turned back around and reached the kitchen.

We ate toasts quickly as we walked to the car and remained silent the whole ride until we were there. We should both have gotten out of the car, I knew it, but instead, we remained sitting there, looking in front of us, and I kept wondering how we should act together. We were never the type to show too much affection in public. It happened before with friends around, or family sometimes, but not when random strangers could see. This time, we were with a lot of strangers and I was wondering if I should hold her hand or not. Should I kiss her temple sometimes? Or just go straight for the mouth? I didn't know anymore and if I wanted to be frank, I had never asked myself that question in any other relationships before.

"Ready?"

"No."

I frowned and turned to her but it took her a few seconds to look back at me. She sighed and shrugged before shaking her head a bit.

"Things have been particularly awkward with Dylan even since Heidi posted all those lyrics about us on instagram." she admitted, closing her eyes tight for a few seconds before opening them again. "We're filming the season's finale today and, I don't know, I'm nervous I guess."

"Anything special about the final episode?"

She stared at me, her eyes roaming on my face, and her lips parted. "His character is breaking up with my character."

We looked at each other in silence and after a while, I reached for her hand on her thigh and squeezed her fingers tight. I knew why it made her feel like this and I knew it was not only because of her relationship with Dylan being awkward. This scene was our scene. It was that day I broke up with her and tore her heart in pieces. I held my breath, feeling suddenly extremely exposed. I had no really realized before how big this was. Of course, I knew her tv show was inspired by our story but it just hit me that people were actually watching it, and I was wondering how many of them now knew almost exactly what had happened between us?

"I'm here with you. It'll go amazingly, trust me." I pointed out, knowing it was not the right time to have a big discussion about her writing. "Remember in Italy? I almost believed you were breaking up with me to go marry your ex boyfriend."

She chuckled a bit. "You totally believed it."

"Maybe I did." I quickly replied. "But only for a few minutes, because I believe in us, I believe in our love, and I believe in you. So you go in there and play that scene and show them how incredible you are."

Her lips curled a bit and she rolled her eyes before finally nodding. I smiled more and we got out of the car to walk in. I thought I'd see Dylan first but when my eyes met Heidi's, I felt my heart jump up in my throat, almost throwing it up. I felt Olivia tense next to me and I held my breath when she saw us. She sent us a big smile but I could read so much pettiness behind it that it made me grimace.

"Hi!"

I glanced at Olivia who frowned and licked her lips. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh you didn't know?" Heidi replied, her eyebrows raised and her lips curled into a satisfied smile. "I'm with Dylan now."

As if on cue, he appeared and stood next to Heidi but I noticed his eyes never left my girlfriend and it bothered me more than I wanted to admit. Of course, I couldn't expect him to just forget about her, after all, he was ready to marry her, but at the same time I wanted him to move on as quickly as he could. If that was to be done with Heidi then be it : i was ready to put up with her on the set.

"I hope it doesn't bother you too much." Heidi added, tilting her head and looking at Liv who sent her a smile back.

Dylan and I were just keeping quiet, not really sure what we were supposed to say or do, and I pushed both my hands in my pockets.

"Oh no, not at all. It's all good." Olivia replied with a shrug. "I mean, it's not the first time you run after one of my exes, you know? Oh! Maybe I could make you a list of all the men and women I dated? Would save you some time."

I almost choked on my own spit, not really expecting that reply. I knew what kind of person my girlfriend was but she had always played it low with Heidi because she knew it was not worth it. It seemed like this time, she had had enough.

I thought Heidi would answer something rude but instead, her facial expression changed into a surprised one and finally, her eyes got smaller. She was pissed, I knew it, but she'd never prove it to Olivia. She found her smile back and breathed in, wrapping her arm around Dylan's and looking up at him.

"Can you show me the set?"

He nodded and they left but he glanced back at us when he was farther and I finally sighed, turning to my girlfriend who was smiling. I thought she'd be a bit mad, or upset that her ex boyfriend was now with my ex girlfriend, but she didn't seem to care... until her smile fell down and she closed her eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong suddenly?" I asked with a frown, taking a step closer and wrapping my fingers around her arm.

"I just realized Heidi was going to be there for the finale." she admitted, looking up at me. "She'll... see all of it. She'll see how it went... between... us."

It was the very first time Olivia admitted that her tv show was about us and I licked my lips, feeling something stir in my stomach. I didn't care that Heidi saw it, but I cared that the whole world would.

"You shouldn't care about her. She's with Dylan just to get to you or get back at us. She's here to piss you off and make you feel like shit. Don't let it get to you. Don't let her win."

She turned her whole body my way and her lips curled slightly into a fond smile. Slowly, she got on her tiptoe and pressed her lips gently against mine. It took me by surprise but I just answered her kiss and when she got back down on her feet, she tilted her head.

"Liv, can I ask you something?" I asked seriously, licking my lips as she nodded, her smile faltering a bit. "I know your tv show is based on our story but... for the next season, could you change that?"

I was scared to hurt her but at the same time, it was something I just needed to ask. If she said she didn't want to, I would accept it, but she knew my private life was a big deal for me and when she started nibbling on her bottom lip, I knew she felt guilty. I could read it on her face.

"I'm sorry, Niall. I never thought people would connect the show with our story but that was stupid of me. I mean, when I wrote that, I thought I'd never see you again, so I sort of wrote to... let it all out, you know?" she stopped and sighed. "Of course I'll make it different. I'll think of a whole other story for the characters, and make sure it has nothing in common with our story. Except maybe... well, the fact that they're soulmates."

I smiled and nodded, chuckling slightly. "I don't know if they are, but I know we are."

                                                 ----

I wandered around the studio while they were filming, and finally ended up at the cafeteria to grab a bite. I sat alone and started checking messages I got on my phone when I felt a presence in front of me and looked up. I was not surprised to see Heidi but I was not pleased either.

"Niall, we need to talk."

I blinked a few times and licked my lips, not really in the mood to discuss with her, but I finally just sighed and put my phone down as she sat down. I noticed she was holding a sheet in her hands and it made me frown. I didn't have time to ask her about it, she simply leaned against the table to move closer to me and instinctively, I moved my upper body away from hers.

"You know you could have just called me." she let out, confusing me and making me frown. "I know you miss me, and honestly I think we should get back together. I forgive you, I know you were a bit lost and..." she shook her head and I was even more puzzled. "It doesn't matter."

I shook my head, trying to get my thoughts back into place but I just licked my lips again. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

She put the sheet on the table and pushed it closer to me. It took me half a second to realize it was my handwriting and after reading only a few words, I knew it was which song of mine.

"Wait, where did you find that? I thought I lost it!"

The song was not finished but as my eyes roamed on the lyrics, I had a bunch of ideas on how to actually complete it and I held my breath.

"I found it in my boxes... the ones from your place that you've had sent to my place." she explained, reaching out to put her fingers on top of my hand.

I stopped moving completely and my eyes dropped to our hands. I felt frozen in place, a bit startled by her behavior and not really knowing how to react.

"What are you doing?" I just asked, my eyes still staring at her fingers brushing gently against my hand.

"You're right. We should get back together, Niall." she added. "I mean, I know you're trying to make me jealous with her but let's be real. Who could really be jealous of her?"

Quickly, I shook my head and pulled my hand away from hers, mad that she would talk shit about my girlfriend again. "Do you even listen to yourself? You know damn well I'm with Liv and.. aren't you with Dylan? I love her, okay! I'm not trying to make anyone jealous, I'm just trying to love her the way she deserves to be loved... the way I failed to love her the first time. And you have nothing to do with any of this. What even makes you think I want to be with you?" I was frowning, getting pissed at her behavior, and I started wondering why I ever wanted to be with her in first place.

"Because of that song! You wrote it for me and put it in one of my boxes for me to find!"

I rolled my eyes, angry that she could even think I wrote one song about her.

"I wrote this about Olivia! I wrote that in the first week I saw her again at the bakery after not seeing her for over a year. It isn't about you, Heidi. It got in one of your boxes by mistake!" I explained a bit rudely, looking in her eyes to make sure she understood. "I love Olivia, not you. You need to let it go, okay? And those instagram posts you make.. For fuck's sake, Heidi! What's the point? Make me feel bad? Alright, I'm sorry I cheated on you, I should have broken up with you before and that was a mistake, okay? Now please, leave me the fuck alone."

Without giving her time to answer, I got up and left her by herself at the table before hiding in Liv's dressing room. I searched for a pen, my heart racing as I feared I'd forget the words dancing around in my head, and finally found one before leaning against the counter. I started scribbling fast, almost dropping the pen a few times as I held my breath. I scratched the first line and quickly replaced it to 'Maybe we are the champagne lovers' and went to the chorus to add a few lines, too.

'So come on love me when the lights burn low Meet me underneath the sheets Cause you got a hold of me baby, enough to pull me back in deep You used to love me when the lights burned low Now we’re tearing at the seams We've both had enough of this, baby, so promise me that when you leave You won’t say you’ll come back to me.'

I stared at the words and re-read them a few times before licking my lips. I was still lost in my thoughts when the door opened and I jumped a little, turning to see my girlfriend walking in. I sent her a fond smile and moved up from the counter as she wrapped her arms around me. I held her close, the paper burning on my fingertips, and kissed the top of her head.

I couldn't stop thinking about the lyrics and remembered exactly how I felt when I wrote most of the song. I missed her and I missed what we had. I didn't like where we were and I couldn't believe she was marrying someone else. The parts about sheets I had added reminded me of when we would hide under the covers and we had done it quite often in the past few weeks, making the whole meaning even more powerful.

"How did it go?"

"Not bad for now." she admitted, moving away. "But I think we'll film the rest an other day. It took longer than it was supposed to."

"Good, then maybe Heidi won't be there when you film the final scene." I suggested, raising my eyebrows.

"Hopefully." she replied with a smile before frowning. "What's that?"

My traits softened and I brought the sheet up again to read the lyrics. "A song. For you."

"Can I hear it?" she asked making me look up. Her eyebrows were raised and she was biting her bottom lip. She was so endearing that I almost said yes.

"Soon, okay?. I need a piano for this one."

                                                       ----

May 19th, 2018

Olivia actually slept a good part of the day and I ended up at the pub with Julia, who was back to California too since her tour was over. I had an other first part for the other half of the tour and I knew I was going to miss her dearly. It was not like me to be super emotional, but with time, Julia easily became one of my closest friends and traveling with her had been a blast. I couldn't pretend that the fact that she listened to me complain about my love life didn't help us to become closer but it would be a lie.

"Where's your girlfriend today? I wanted to see her." I felt my lips curl more as I looked at her and she frowned. "What?"

"Oh no it's just... hearing someone else call her my 'girlfriend' is very cool." I pointed out with a chuckle, scratching the back of my head, feeling a bit embarrassed. I couldn't believe I had said that.

"That's what she is now, right?" Julia asked with a small laugh. "That's what you've wanted for months. You've been complaining about it every single day!"

"What? Come on, don't exaggerate." I argued, raising my nose up.

"I'm not!" she laughed again before getting a bit more serious. "I'm very happy for you, Niall. Now it's time to move forward, you know?"

"Meaning?" I raised my eyebrows after taking a long sip of beer.

"Meaning... plan the future and don't fuck up."

I stared at her and nodded with a small smile. I knew she was right, and she was not the only one who told me to not fuck it all up this time. I really didn't intend to, and I knew I wouldn't. I had lost Olivia before, and I had learned from that. I was not going to lose her again.

I was a bit tipsy when I got back home but she didn't even notice me. I stared at her, wearing only one of my t-shirts and a pair of black panties, standing in front of the tv in the living room as old songs from the 90's played full volume in the background. I was pretty sure I recognized a Backstreet Boys song ending and just as I thought it couldn't be funnier, a Spice Girls song followed and she started dancing and singing very loudly. I started laughing but she didn't hear me because of how loud the music was and it made me happy to know I could watch her a few more minutes. She jumped on the couch and pretended to have a microphone as she sang the lyrics and tried to do the dance and when she just started dancing around my living room, I took a few steps closer and she jumped, putting one of her hands on her chest as if it would help slow down the beatings of her heart.

"Fuck, you scared me!" she let out with a chuckle after pausing the music.

I didn't say anything. I just stared at her with a fond smile, thinking of everything we went through and how much I loved her.

"Move in." I let out as she was taking a sip of wine.

She frowned and chuckled again. "What?"

"Move in with me. Here."

Her lips parted and her eyebrows raised before she let out the air from her lungs quickly from her mouth in a surprised way. She licked her lips and cleared her throat before putting her glass back on the coffee table and taking a step closer.

"Are you... sure you can handle that?"

I knew she was referring to the fact that we were different, but it didn't matter. Yea, she was messy and yea it was annoying, but it was such a small problem and I knew we could compromise. In fact, I knew we'd both be way happier if we lived together and I wanted it. I wanted it so bad I could feel it in my bones.

"Yes." I let out in a low tone. "I want your grumpy face in the morning. I want your way too sweet morning coffee... I-I want your mess all over my fucking house, Olivia. I want to smell you when I step foot here after a long work day. I want to start a life with you. I want you to have your own dressers, not just a few drawers in mine. I want to share everything I have with you. I want to share myself with you."

She pressed her lips together and swallowed and I could swear she was tearing up.

"I want all that, too." she admitted, tilting her head. "I want to spend my life with you, Niall."

My lips curled in a big smile. "Then let's take that step. Move in with me."

It took her about a minute but she finally just chuckled and shook her head. "Okay. Let's do this."

REQUESTS

(i changed the first one just a little bit hope its ok!)

[kadywicker]

about the gay rep in tv shows/movies what are some examples you have? bc I totally agree and think it’s rather disappointing and sometimes I feel bad because I think I should enjoy the ship but i’ve learned i’m not the bad guy in that situation, it’s that they didn’t care enough to make it a real and interesting relationship.

oh god fjsdfasdf okay so some of these are probably unpopular opinions but i dont at ALL hate these shows or even these ships. and w some of these its NOT the fault of the writers but probably the networks involved. but... from one’s i’ve seen 

m*lec from sh*dowhunters which has like. some decent scenes but i feel like it couldve Tried Harder you know what i mean?

v*ltron. i dont even..... the whole shiro/his boyfriend thing was like. it was so much. what was that. why?

hannibal had 2 second wlw and that was like hailed as amazing representation that we were supposed to ship. okay. (i lOVE the show and this is probably not anyones fault esp considering fuller is gay and im p sure said in an interview that hes been trying to get gay characters in his shows for a long time. and hannibal and will are CLEARLY gay. this one is down to the network.)

i have like. SO MANY problems w star trek d*scovery but paul/hugh............. its a good ship i think and i enjoy it but it very much fits into the trope of “kinda main character is in a relationship w a moc and they dont get many scenes together but its gonna be hailed as groundbreaking and legendary anyway”

speaking of i know its the 90s but im still mad about dax & her trill girlfriend and they werent even ~really gay~ you see bc theyre ~reincarnated straights so its fine~ like fuck OFF

every single show/movie w throwaway line gay characters (im looking at you marvel)

d*adpool 2 w negasonic and her gf 

look okay listen i love the umbr*lla academy and i think the ship is good and has potential esp bc of its fans who make it wonderful but klaus & daves relationship was NOT fleshed out enough at all and like they really really really have to step it up next season so that it DOESNT fall into this trope and i hope it does bc it has some really good potential 

i also love the g*t down and like the above i think it has really good potential and isnt necessarily a BADLY written relationship it just doesnt get enough screentime but thor/dizzy. at least this one the main character was the moc! 

petra/jane r*mos from jtv. look i love jtv i think the relationship is cute but it was literally written bc ppl thought jane (the main one) and petra had chemistry and shipped them so the show was like oh we hear you!! :) and then made a new character who wasnt as fleshed out or important named jane to get w petra like. uh. okay i guess????

fucking. rosa on b99. look i know this one is probably the network and i think stephanie is absolutely wonderful & puts her heart into rosa but :/ her gf has literally been in like. 3 scenes and all of them are focused on her being like Hey Im The Girlfriend! Watch Me Be a Girlfriend :) i think the rep itself in the show is good bc its so rare to actually have characters say theyre bi and i understand that w a show like that its hard to do but we literally have kevin and holt who are right there and are well fleshed out w several solid episodes under their belt. and kevin isnt just characterized as being holts husband, hes an actual character w his own interests and motivations beyond holt. i just hope they go that route w rosas gf if she sticks around or rosas future partner whoever they are (even if its a guy bc its still not a straight relationship since rosas bi)

uuuh probably more but these are from ones ive actually watched or like. watched some of bc i dont want to speak on ones im not sure about. and anyone can feel free to disagree w these and this definitely doesnt mean any of them are bad ships or not worth being invested in i just think as gay ppl we need to ask more of the media we consume

I watched Sun on the tauros, my bow and arrows ready at hand, i stared at the UB for a second, knowing well that it would avoid me. I glanced back at Sun, gesturing for him to get farther away before aiming an arrow at the pile of wires that Anabel called UB-03 Lightning. 

I saw a bolt shoot out from it towards Sun and saw the Tauros skillfully dodge it at the boys wish. I shot the arrow, seeing it pierce through some of the wire. I heard it turn towards me and watched its head seem to whirl around on its ‘neck’.

I saw a bolt of lightning shoot towards me and froze up, before darting to move out of the way. I was a second too late and my arm got hit. I screamed out in pain and flinched, realizing after a moment that i couldnt move, besides my knees shaking.

It shot another bolt at me and i just stared as i watched it come towards me. I closed my eyes for a second, taking a deep breath and trying to move out of the way.

My legs didn’t move, but it didnt hit me. I heard a choking sound infront of me and i opened my eyes quickly, seeing the Courier infront of me, his body shaking from the force of the blast and the electricity coursing through him. “...Miss? you ok?”

I stared for a few more seconds, before my vision misted up and i saw a more blurry version of the Courier fall to the ground. I stared at Lightning for a second and struggled to draw another arrow, before watching a flash of white light hit and engulph the Ultra beast. 

I glanced up to see Lillie riding Lunala- or Nebby as we called it. The legendary darted forward towards the UB, creating one of  its portals and knocking it through, much to the UBs surprise and anger.

Lillie got off Lunala and ran to Suns side, throwing something at me. i didnt catch it but just let myself fall to my knees, looking down at it. Paralysis heal. I grabbed it as fast as i could and used it on myself, before crawling over to join Lillie next to the Courier.

Lillie had rolled him over and used a paralysis heal on him as well. The Courier was softly whining at the moment. I threw my bag and quiver off my back and started searching through my stuff, grabbing my pharmacist equipment and pulling it out. “Hey Miss.. take care of- y-your arm first, im.. im fine” Sun coughed after a few seconds of me searching through my stuff. 

“You got shot with a lightning bolt in the torso, likely around the- the lung area. you are not fine.” I spoke with as monotone a voice i could, not wanting to alert him to the fear i had. I thought i would be ready to lose him when the time came i had been shoving him in the way of danger myself for the past two years i-.

I shoved those thoughts down. I was not going to lose the courier. I started working on the wound, Lillie focusing on trying to keep Sun awake and talking, which was difficult as it was today, him having been in one of his episodes.

“I love you miss” I ignored him, continuing to work on his wound, trying to stop my hands from shaking. “i-im really dizzy miss. t-there like.. f-four of you and Lillie.” “focus on me right now Sun” Lillie tried to grab his attention, and i thanked her silently for it. “Which one of you?” I heard Lillies giggle follow that question, and mist clouded my eyes again.

“Miss, a-are you- okay??” I blinked open my eyes, glancing at Sun. The courier had such a concerned look on his face for being as weak as he was, blood was leaking out of his mouth and seemed to stain his lips. I shook my head a bit and wiped my face with my arm, feeling the wetness of tears on my cheeks. Ah. Well, so much for looking calm.

I kept trying to fix his wound, and after a few minutes i felt Lillie shake me. I glanced up. The girl had tears running down her cheeks “Moon, he-” I shook my head violently and looked down at the wound again, working faster on it “Moon. Moon!” Lillies voice raised a bit and i looked up again, tears falling from my eyes. “i cant- hes okay hes gonna be okay-” “Moon please-” “hes fine hes okay hes gonna wake up he p-probably just fell asleep-”

“Moon.” She grabbed my wrists. I stared at her for another second, before looking at Suns face. His eyes were still open they were still-. They were clouded over.

I gave a tiny sob, that broke into a wail, i grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him a few times, yelling for him to stop playing around like that. Lillie tried to grab me again and i shoved her away, before just hugging Sun tightly, sobbing weakly into his shoulder, whining loudly, and ongoing “nooonono-” mixed with “tellme youre still here please--”

After about an hour i was calmer, though i still had refused to move. Lillie was just quietly rubbing my back as i held Sun. “Moonie. honey its getting dark, we’ve gotta go home and- bring him back to Kukui” her voice was soft, a loving tone in it. I shook my head softly, but stood up, picking the boy up with me “its just... im gonna wake up soon...” i muttered to myself, getting led to Lunala by Lillie.

Once we got back i was quiet, Kukui took Suns body from me and i just stared down at the blood staining my shirt and arms. “Moonie, go take a shower sweetie, ill be here when-” I shoved Lillie back “go home” She frowned a bit, sighing “...alright, but im gonna come back tomorrow, i love you, alright?” I nodded a bit, before heading upstairs.

I had made the decision to wear one of Suns shirts, surprisingly it fit well, but then again most of the shirts i wore were either over or undersized, so either way i wouldnt have cared. I sat quietly in his room, Dollar having decided to sit near me, likely because he learnt what had happened.

I stared down at the floor, quietly humming to myself, lightly rocking back and forth. I told myself id be ready for it, i told myself id be okay. I would shove him into danger dammit why wasnt i ready- I sobbed softly, burying my face in my hands.

I woke up later with my head being pet, I quickly turned around to stare at the person, seeing Lillie sitting next to me. “Hey- hey its just me.” “i wish it wasnt” “i know.” She lightly pulled me up, hugging me close “youre gonna make it through this, alright Moonie?” “he didnt” “youll see him again” “hah.” “you will, really, maybe not in this life” I lightly shoved her off “Lil. i dont believe in that stuff, you know that” She frowned a bit “Moon im trying to make you feel better-” “its not working” “Moon” “can you just leave me alone?”

We stared at eachother for a few seconds, before Lillie sighed and stood up. “ill be in the living room” and she walked out of the room. I looked down again, curling up a bit again. Stupid fucking people, stupid beliefs, stupid everything- i just wanted Sun back, i wasnt ready to let go yet.

Swipe Right Episode 2 (1+)

  Swipe Right:

Suggested Host Lead: Online dating has been pretty active on the scene since the earlier days of the internet. Sites like eHarmony, Match, and PlentyOfFish have been using the magic of modern technology for years to match up singles, but the game was taken to a whole new level with the creation of the mobile app. while some of the originals have adapted and still hold their own, a new wave of mobile platforms have jumped in led by Tinder. I wanted to know more about peoples experiences and opinions on this new wind of dating apps rising to the surface in our modern day. Alex is a 22 Year old from Long Island, New York. He had been in a relationship for a while before he was able to dive in to the new era of Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, JSwipe, Coffee Meets Bagel… you know dating apps!

CUT 1: “WE MET AT DIZZYS BUT SHE HAD LIVED ON MY FLOOR SO I HAD ONLY SPOKEN TO HER WHEN WE HAD FLOOR MEETINGS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND THEN SHE ASKED ME TO MEET HER AT DIZZYS AND THEN YOU KNOW..”

HEARING ABOUT HOW HIS PAST RELATIONSHIP WAS LONG LASTING MADE ME WONDER IF PUTTING HIMSELF OUT THERE ON TINDER WAS INTIMIDATING AT ALL

CUT 2:  “THE RUNNING JOKE IS YOU KNOW YOU WANNA MAKE SURE YOURE NEVER DATING A SERIAL KILLER AND DOING THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU MORE OF A FEEL TO WHO THEY ARE AS A PERSON AND YOURE NOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD AS MUCH

UHH NO I DIDNT PUT ENOUGH INCRIMINATING STUFF OUT THERE THAT SOMEONE WOULD WANNA CATFISH ME UMM BUT I CAN SEE HOW OTHER PEOPLE THAT I KNOW PERSONALLY WOULD UHH FALL VICTIM TO THAT”

WITH ALL THAT IS OUT THERE NOW WITH PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE OTHER PEOPLE ONE MUST ALWAYS BE CAREFUL ABOUT KNOWING WHO THEY ARE TALKING TO ONLINE! HOWEVER BESIDES THAT ALEX FELT LIKE THIS WOULD BE THE RIGHT OUTLET FOR HIS NEWLY SINGLE LIFE

CUT 3: “IT DEFINITELY MAKES YOU MORE NATURAL BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE PRACTICE AT IT AND MORE EXPERIENCE LIKE MY FRIEND WHO WILL ALSO REMAIN NAMELESS WHO ALSO J UST CAME OUT OF A RELATIONSHIP TOLD ME AT A BAR THE OTHER NIGHT HE SAID “I NEED YOU TO HELP ME TALK TO WOMEN” AND I SAID “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOURE ON TINDER ALL THE TIME LIKE YOU HIT UP SO MANY GIRLS ” AN HE SAYS ‘I CAN ONLY TALK ONLINE I CANT TALK TO PEOPLE IN PERSON’ AND I WAS LIKE THATS JUST LIKE FINDING OUT LANCE ARMSTRONG CHEATED YOU KNOW I WAS VERY SHOCKED AT WHAT HAPPENED”

THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS TO THESE DATING APPS OF COURSE

CUT 4: “ITS DIFFERENT THAN TALKING IN PERSON AND FOR SOME PEOPLE THEY CAN ONLY DO ONE OR THE OTHER SO FOR THOSE PEOPLE MAYBE YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT A LITTLE BIT AND WORK ON YOUR ONE ON ONE INTERACTIONS BUT PRIOR TO ME BEING ON THERE I COULD TALK TO ANY PERSON JUST FINE BUT I WOULD COME OFF AS INCREDIBLY AWKWARD ONLINE LIKE SOMEONE YOU’D WANT TO CALL CHRIS HANSEN ON”

ALEX BEGAN HIS JOURNEY IN SEARCH FOR A NEW COMPANION THIS TIME DOING IT DIFFERENTLY… MORE MODERNLY.. BUT WAS HE HESITANT TO DIP HIS TOES IN THE WATER?

CUT 5:” I WASN’T HESITANT AT ALL I WAS WORRIED THAT BECAUSE I HAD BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP FOR 3 AND A HALF YEARS WHEN ALL THIS STUFF HAPPENED THAT I WAS BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL AND WOULDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING AND THAT MADE ME NOT HESITANT BUT A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CATCH UP”

HE SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW HIS SUCCESS STORY WASN'T SUCH A SUCCESS AT FIRST

CUT 6: “SO THE FIRST WEEKEND THAT I BECAME SINGLE OUT OF MY OLD RELATIONSHIP I WENT UP TO COLGATE UNIVERSITY UM TO GO TO WHAT WAS THERE SPRING PARTY WEEKEND WHERE THEY HAVE ALL THE FESTIVALS AND STUFF AND I WAS  STAYING AT THE FOOTBALL FRAT WITH MY BEST FRIEND  AND OTHER THAN HIM AND A FEW OTHERS I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW ANYBODY UP THERE ESPECIALLY WOMEN  AND I DID NOT WANT TO SPEND THIS WEEKEND WITHOUT AT FEMALE COMPANION SO THAT REALLY ENCOURAGED ME TO SWIPE RIGHT ON PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING ALIVE… DIDN'T GET MUCH BACK… HOWEVER MY GAME IMPROVED OVER TIME AND I AM VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT.”

AND IMPROVE IT SURELY DID

CUT 7: “ONE DAY I SWIPED ON THIS GIRL AND I NOTICED THAT HER BIO SAID THAT SHE WAS A BIG NEW YORK RANGERS FAN AND BEING THE SASSY ISLANDERS FAN THAT I AM I DECIDED TO MESSAGE HER “I THINK THE SENATORS ARE GONNA BEAT THE RANGERS IN SIX GAMES” BECAUSE THEY WERE PLAYING IN THE PLAYOFFS AT THAT TIME AND SHES TOLD ME SINCE THAT SHE WAS CONSIDERING NOT ANSWERING ME BECAUSE WHAT I SAID WAS SO INCREDIBLY RUDE AND ANNOYING UHH NEVERTHELESS IT ENDED UP LEADING TO WHATS GONNA BE A SIX MONTH RELATIONSHIP ACTUALLY IN A FEW WEEKS”

TINDER LAUNCHED IN MAY 2011 AND SINCE CONCEPTION THEIR MEMBER COUNT HAS RISEN TO AROUND 25 MILLION PEOPLE!

MARK IS A 26 YEAR OLD MALE WHOS LUCK WITH TINDER WASNT QUITE THE SAME AS ALEX:

CUT 8: “UM WELL TINDER FOR ME HONESTLY ITS NOT MY BEST PREFERENCE I’VE USED IT FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW AND YOU KNOW ITS I FEEL LIKE ITS MOSTLY CURIOSITY FACTOR OF WHO YOURE GONNA MATCH UP WITH. I DONT THINK ANYTHINGS REALLY GENUINE THAT COMES OUT OF IT YOU KNOW IVE MET UP WITH A COUPLE PEOPLE UMM OUT OF IT. ACTUALLY OUT OF A COUPLE HUNDRED… MAYBE TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY PEOPLE IVE PROBABLY ONLY MET UP WITH ONLY MAYBE ABOUT 5 PEOPLE WHICH IS PRETTY SAD AND EVEN OUT OF THAT I WOULD SAY MAYBE ABOUT 5% OF THAT I EVEN MESSAGE. LIKE I SAID ITS MOSTLY LIKE A CURIOSITY FACTOR UMM DATING SITES FOR OTHER PEOPLE LIKE FOR EXAMPLE MY PARENTS MET ON A DATING SITE AND THEYRE HAPPILY MARRIED AND I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS I HAVE A GREAT STEPDAD NOW. SO I MEAN CLEARLY IT WORKS OUT FOR SOME PEOPLE.

I HAVE ALSO SOME FRIENDS WHERE THEY YOU KNOW GOT SOME SUCCESS BUT ITS UH I FEEL LIKE ITS ITS WEIRD ITS VERY IMPERSONAL AT FIRST UM MESSAGING EVEN BECAUSE THE GIRL NEVER IS GOING TO MESSAGE YOU FIRST, IT’S A VERY RARE OCCURRENCE SO FOR A GUY YOU EITHER HAVE TO COME WITH SOME VERY YOU KNOW IMPRESSIVE FIRST PICK UP LINE YOU GOTTA MAKE THEM LAUGH OR EVEN JOKE ABOUT THEM OR ONE OF THEIR PICTURES LIKE YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND YOU KNOW PICK UP LINES DONT WORK ANYMORE ESPECIALLY CORNY ONES.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT USERS OF TINDER WHO HAVE CONNECTED THE STREAMING MUSIC SERVICE SPOTIFY TO THEIR TINDER PROFILE HAVE RECEIVED AN AVERAGE OF EIGHTY FOUR PERCENT MORE MATCHES. TINDER IS ALSO TESTING A FEATURE CALLER “MATCHES UP FOR” WHICH THEY ARE TRYING TO USE TO ENCOURAGE MEMBERS TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER. SO BESIDES CORNY PICK UP LINES AND PRIMPED OUT PICTURES AND BIOS I WANTED TO KNOW OF SOME NOT SO GREAT EXPERIENCES HE HAD ENTAILED MEETING UP WITH WOMEN FROM TINDER

CUT 9: “UMM I MEAN MAJORITY OF THE CASES WH- ARE THAT WHEN I MEET

I WOULD SAY ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME I MEET UP WITH THE GIRL SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE PICTURES SHE YOU KNOW SHE POSTED. THEY MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK WAY BETTER THAN THEY ACTUALLY SEEM UNFORTUNATELY BUT I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE DO THAT SO THATS KINDA WHY YOU KNOW I KINDA TOOK A PAUSE ON AND HAVENT REALLY USED IT IN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS UMM I THINK ME PERSONALLY I LIKE GOING OUT UMM I FEEL LIKE MY PERSONALITY OUTWEIGHS MY LOOKS SO YOU KNOW THAT HELPS ME, MEETING PEOPLE IN PERSON UMM BUT ALSO ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH TINDER I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE DON’T SETTLE DOWN ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY HAVE INFINITE AMOUNT OF OPTIONS SO THATS THE ONE DOWNFALL BUT YOU KNOW IT IS COOL HAVING YOU KNOW YOU COULD LITERALLY MEET WHOEVER AROUND THE WORLD. BACK IN THE DAY PEOPLE WOULD JUST YOU KNOW WOULD ONLY MEET PEOPLE IN THEIR TOWN AND YOU KNOW THEY WOULD HAVE TO SETTLE BUT NOW WITH ALL THESE DATING SITES IT GIVES YOU INFINITE AMOUNT OF OPTIONS WHICH IS COOL”

JAYSON IS ANOTHER USER OF TINDER AND DATING APPS AND FEELS THAT THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO THIS NEW ERA IN THE MODERN DATING AGE

HE MENTIONS HOW USING THESE APPLICATIONS ARE A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO FIND THEIR STATISTIC AND WHERE THEY FIT IN ON THE DATING SPECTRUM

CUT 10: “UMM I NEVER REALLY USED IT AS SOMETHING TO MEET UP WITH PEOPLE WITH I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FUN AND GAMES TO KNOW LIKE WHO YOU COULD BE MATCHED WITH AND YOU C- ALSO WHAT PEOPLE WOULD DO IS LIKE OH WELL I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT OTHER PEOPLE WOULD DO IS UM THEY WOULD USE IT AS LIKE A A COMPARISON CONTEST BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THE PEOPLE THAT THEY MATCH THEMSELVES WITH JUST TO SEE LIKE  WHO IS THE ATTRACTIVE LEVEL TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE KNOW FOR A FACT IF YOU WERE GONNA GO INTO A SOCIAL SETTING THAT YOU WOULD BE CONNECTED WITH THEM EASILY. THINK ABOUT IT WHEN YOUR’E USING THESE KIND OF SOCIAL MEDIA TYPE OF CONNECTION SITES ITS ITS JUST AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU I MEAN YOU MEET THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY WHEN YOUR’E WALKING AROUND AND LIKE OBVIOUSLY WE DON’T HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME OF DAY TO LIKE MEET EVERY SINGLE PERSON AND LIKE GET A WHOLE BACKGROUND HISTORY OF THEM BEFORE YOU LIKE YOU I MEAN OBVIOUSLY LIKE  ATTRACTIVENESS IS THE FIRST CONNECTION LIKE INSTANTLY WHEN YOU SEE A PICTURE OF SOMEONE THAT LIKE YOU KNOW IS SOMEONE THAT YOU WOULD BE LIKE OH OKAY I COULD PICTURE MYSELF BEING WITH THIS PERSON FOR A BIT LIKE THIS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD UMM I WOULDNT MIND BUT THEN AGAIN LIKE WHATS BEHIND THAT PERSON LIKE WERE GOING AFTER AN AVATAR RATHER THAN LIKE A PERSON”

NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME OPINION AS ALEX FROM OUR SUCCESS STORY JAYSON FEELS AS THOUGH MOST DATING APPLICATIONS ARE MORE FOR SEXUALIZATION. AND WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC THAN JUST A PICTURE? PEOPLE WHO WANT A CONNECTION THEY CAN RELY ON, A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS SUCCESSFUL AND NOT BASED ON SWIPING A PICTURE ON A SCREEN.

I SAT DOWN WITH RORI SASSOON WHO IS THE CREATOR OF PLATINUM POIRE

CUT 11: “ SO MY NAME IS RORI SASSOON UMM I CREATED A COMPANY CALLED PLATINUM POIRE. ITS A ELITE MATCHMAKING COMPANY AND ITS FOR MEN AND WOMEN WHO BOTH HAVE SOMETHING GREAT TO BRING TO THE TABLE. YOU KNOW LIKE IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL LIFE THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY TO BEING SUCCESSFUL IF NOT ALREADY SUCCESSFUL AND THEY'RE JUST YOU KNOW THEY JUST DON’T WANNA DEAL WITH ALL THE APPS AND ALL THE ONLINE CRAP THEY KIND OF WANNA JUST CUT STRAIGHT TO THE CHASE AND IN A SENSE LIKE WERE THE PERFECT SHORT CUT BECAUSE AT PLATINUM POIRE WE DO ALL THE VETTING FOR YOU.”

I WAS SO CURIOUS ABOUT HOW SHE GOT INTO THE MATCHMAKING GAME  

CUT 12: “ITS VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE I ACTUALLY MET MY OWN HUSBAND THIS WAY AND IT WAS BEFORE THE APPS AND BEFORE ALL THAT STUFF I WAS MARRIED AT TWENTY TWO I WAS DIVORCED AT TWENTY FIVE WITH A CHILD, WHO IS NOW TWENTY ONE, AND I WAS JUST AT MY GYNECOLOGISTS OFFICE ONE DAY AND WE STARTED TALKING AND HE WAS ASKING ME WHY IM NOT HAVING ANYMORE KIDS AND I SAID UMM HELLO DARLING UHH IM GETTING DIVORCED THAT WOULDN’T ACTUALLY BE LIKE THE RIGHT THING TO DO RIGHT NOW AND LONG STORY SHORT HE WAS LIKE LISTEN I JUST WANNA LIKE ASK YOU SOMETHING I SAID SURE AND HE WAS LIKE I HAVE AN AMAZING GUY FOR YOU WHENEVER YOU’RE READY…. AND I WAS JUST LIKE SO TAKEN ABACK I THOUGHT THIS GUY WAS CRAZY IM LIKE HE PROBABLY TRIES TO PAWN OFF THIS POOR FRIEND OF HIS TO LIKE EVERY WOMAN THAT WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR HE IS A GYNECOLOGIST. SO BEING THE FACT THAT I MET MY HUSBAND AND WERE MARRIED FORS 17 YEARS AND WE WERE ABLE TO BLEND OUR FAMILIES SUCCESSFULLY, HE HAS THREE KIDS FROM HIS FIRST MARRIAGE, I HAVE ONE, AND TOGETHER WE HAVE TWO MORE SO WHEN I WENT YOU KNOW ACTUALLY WENT TO AN EXECUTIVE LIFE COACH TO KIND OF LIKE GEAR ME LIKE IN THE DIRECTION THAT I SHOULD BE GOING IN BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS INVOLVED WITH FASHION BUT I DID’NT WANNA DO THAT ANYMORE  SO HE SAID TO ME “YOU KNOW RORI YOU HAVE TWO STRENGTHS- PEOPLE ARE YOUR PASSION FOR SURE” AND HES LIKE “YOU REALLY HAVE GREAT INTUITION” AND I LOVE LOVE SO IT WAS JUST A NATURAL THING.”

WITH THE WAY THAT THINGS ARE ADVANCING NOW A DAYS I WONDERED HOW MATCHMAKING AND SWIPING WERE SO DIFFERENT.

CUT 13: “SO PEOPLE ASK ME THAT QUESTION LIKE ALL THE TIME AND IN THIS UMM BUSINESS ITS A LOT OF HAND HOLDING BECAUSE ITS VERY.. THERES NO SCREEN LIKE YOU CANT .. WH- WHO YOU ARE IS WHO YOU ARE YOU KNOW WE MEET EVERY CLIENT UMM FOR A CONSULTATION AND BEING THE FACT THAT WE FEEL THAT WERE BOTH A GOOD FIT FOR EACH OTHER LIKE I DON’T WANNA BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM ANY KIND OF UNREALISTIC EXPECTATION YOU KNOW SAYING THAT I HAVE A DATABASE OF SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE WHEN I DON’T I HAVE A DATABASE OF OVER EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY PEOPLE AND TO US ITS ALL ABOUT QUALITY OVER QUANTITY AND THERES A LOT OF COACHING INVOLVED BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON’T HAVE THE SKILL SET YOU KNOW TO REALLY MAKE A RELATIONSHIP LAST AND WE ALSO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THEY COME TO US AND THEY TELL US UMM WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR IN A POTENTIAL PARTNER  WE ALWAYS TRY TO HAVE IT MAKE SENSE SO ON PAPER IT CAN BE AN AMAZING MATCH ITS ALL ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY AND THATS SOMETHING WE CANT PREDICT. WE CANT PREDICT THE CHEMISTRY BECAUSE THE CHEMISTRY IS LIKE DEPENDING ON YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GONNA FEEL WHEN YOU MEET THAT PERSON LIKE ON PAPER THAT PERSON COULD SEEM LIKE PERFECT AND AMAZING FOR YOU  BUT YOU JUST MIGHT NOT BE ATTRACTED TO THEM SO I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THE PROBLEM WITH TODAYS DATING IS THAT NO ONE GIVES PEOPLE A CHANCE ITS LIKE LIKE YOU SAID SWIPE RIGHT SWIPE LEFT ITS INSTANT GRATIFICATION THEY’RE COMPLETELY BASING IT ON A PICTURE AND BY THE WAY HAILEY YOU KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE LIE LIKE THEY’RE SENDING OUT PICTURES THAT THIS WAS THEM AT LIKE FOR EXAMPLE LIKE TWENTY FIVE AND NOW THEY’RE THIRTY FIVE  HELLOOO WHATS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN YOU SHOW UP ON THE DATE AND YOU DONT LOOK LIKE YOUR PICTURE LIKE THAT SUCH A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT AND YOURE KIND OF STARTING OUT THIS RELATIONSHIP A LITTLE BIT ON A LIE NOT COOL.

THERE ARE SO MANY THOUGHTS OUT THERE ON WHAT DATING APPLICATIONS AND WEBSITES HAVE BEEN DOING TO THE DATING SCENE IN THE MODERN AGE. FOR SOME THEY HAVE FOUND LOVE AND LONGTERM RELATIONSHIPS ON TINDER AND OTHER DATING APPS, HOWEVER,  FOR OTHERS THEY USE IT AS A WAY TO PICK UP CHICKS OR GUYS FOR A ONE NIGHT FLING…HEY I EVEN OVERHEARD SOMEONE SAY THEY USE TINDER TO GET FREE DINNER! HOWEVER RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT TINDER HAS MATCHED OVER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND TRANSGENDER USERS SINCE NOVEMBER 2017! 66.4% OF GAY USERS AND 62.1% OF LESBIAN USERS ON TINDER AGREE THAT USING THE DATING APP WILL LEAD TO  A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP ! IT MAY WORK FOR SOME AND NOT FOR OTHERS BUT DATING WILL ALWAYS BE COMPLICATED ITS ALL ABOUT THE GAME… ARE YOU PLAYING? THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN THIS WAS SWIPE RIGHT WITH HAILEY ROSENBLATT.
