but she agreed to it.  Now I’m up for ten questions.  Time to kill my curiosity.
    “What is your real name, Angel?”
    “Sorry won’t give you that.  I won’t count that as one of your ten.” She answered quickly.
    Shit! Somehow I knew it wasn’t going to be that easy.
    “Okay , fine. I understand. How about three things you hate about yourself?”
    “Everything.  Sorry to disappoint you. Next.”
    “How could you hate yourself?  I mean I have only just met you, but even I can tell there are great qualities.”
    “How?  How can you possibly tell that when the first time we talked was when I created a fantasy world for you?”
    “You may have created it, but you were in it with me.  It wasn’t just me there.  I can tell that you genuinely care about people.  It was in the way you talked to me when I called in a complete newbie.  And either you are a really awesome faker or you were right in that fantasy with me.”
    “So is that what this is about?  Sex?  Well , let me tell you…”
    She was getting mad at me and I couldn’t place why.  I was not trying to use her or whatever else she may be thinking.  I was trying to get to know her and see if there wasn’t something between us even if it was merely gaining a friend to talk to.
    Wow! I sound like such a pussy!
    “Hey, wait a minute.  Why are you getting so mad at me?”
    “Because I know what you are after and I’m not that kind of woman!”
    She was breathing heavy and I realized that in a matter of seconds this conversation has gotten way out of control.
    “Hey, calm down.  Angel, I am only trying to get to know you.  I’m not expecting anything or have a hidden agenda.  Honestly, I like talking to you.  You calm me and simmer my anger when I talk to you.”
    It seems that no matter what I say to her right now she is going to take it wrong and blow it out of proportion. So I will give her the truth and lay it out there.  It doesn’t matter if she is going to hang up on me anyway, so I just said my piece and readied for the hang up.
    “Really?” She breathed.
    I could hear movement in the background and I could only assume she was getting comfortable.  If she was that meant she wasn’t hanging up anytime soon.  This brought a smile to my face.
    “Really.  I can’t explain it, but from the minute we started talking, I was able to calm my anger and irritation at the world and the people in it.  No, it didn’t have to do with the phone sex either.” I joked.
    “What has you so worked up that you need to calmed?”
    “Is this part of your ten questions?” I teased.
    “You could say that.”
    “I recently found out that someone very near and dear to me was hurt and badly.  It was/is my fault it happened in the first place.  I caused it, then didn’t stop it, and wasn’t there to help finish it.  So all in all, I let her down and it kills me.  My way of dealing with it is anger and in my profession that makes me a liability. So yeah…”
    “Wow… I don’t know you that well, but it sounds like you really care for this person.  I am sure that she knows that.  Have you told her you love her?”  She ended sounding almost disappointed.
    “Of course.  She’s family.  Family is always first for me.”
    “Oh , I thought it was a…”
    “I am not dating, seeing, otherwise taken by anyone if that is what you are thinking.  I may be a man and we may not have actually done anything, but to me that would have been cheating if I was involved.  I’m not that kind of guy.”
    “Yeah, I can tell that.”
    “What you do you do for fun?”  I said to change the subject.  We were getting too close to revealing who I was and I wanted to see if she could like me for me and not my status.
    “Fun?  Hmm, not sure what that would be.” She laughed.
    “Okay then what do you do to clear your head…relax?”
    “I like to run and I took some karate classes once.  I enjoyed that, but one day I want to have the time to
