The driver called to let me know he was outside and I'm like bet, we're coming. Hung up. Made the observation that his voice was fine af

So we get in the car and I realize the voice match the person. He fine. He light bright. Got a beard. Wearing glasses. All good things

So there's minor small talk in the car, nothing major, And our destination is quickly approaching. But I'm not ready to shoot yet

So she came up with a plan.
So like we pulling up to the spot and I don't know what to do. So then I spur of the moment accidentally on-purpose leave my charger behind

I'm like oops. Looks like I'll just have to contact the driver about my lost item pic.twitter.com/qDU9LI6a8q
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So I wait about a half hour or so before I go to the uber app to contact my driver about my "lost item" pic.twitter.com/vLPUsYoJZu

So I'm calling, and the phone is ringing... and ringing... Y'all I'm at this party in a corner like pic.twitter.com/Ub5zEXkkvh

... and then it goes to voicemail. But I wasn't too hurt cuz it's also like 1 am. I leave a message and decide to try again tomorrow
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So like midday, around 2ish I call again... and once again get sent to voicemail pic.twitter.com/cBeeIfJYUc
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So I leave another message but at this point I'm thinking how stupid this was. What if this man just keeps my charger? Why you do this Kelli
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
“When I didn’t hear back from him at first I felt a little discouraged, mainly because I left my good charger with him and my backup charger is faulty and doesn’t work all the time,” Kelli told The Huffington Post. “So I was probably the most hurt about the charger.”
I go in the uber app & fill out the info on my lost item in hopes that maybe Uber can get this nigga to respond, because calling not working

In the midst of my studying, I check my phone and see a new message from an unknown number pic.twitter.com/RBUhFQ6zxG
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
“When he finally did respond I was excited because: A, I could get my charger back, and B, I can actually see if I have a shot with this guy,” Kelli told HuffPost.
So I let him know I'm free today in between my finals from 11-2. He's like send the address and I'll try to make it. I'm like bet pic.twitter.com/K9Zw3SDoR2

— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
I text him & ask if he can give me 20 min cuz I was in the middle of something. Really I needed time to get my life together & beat my face
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Naturally, she did herself up:
So 20 min later I've achieved a light beat, look a little more put together. I'm ready. pic.twitter.com/yBODFZwv07
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Now this entire time I'm texting all my friends trying to figure out how I'm gonna shoot this shot. I'm shy and just trash at shooting shots
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So he finally texts me saying he's here right as I finish my face. And now my anxiety acting up. I'm thinking bout if I really wanna do this pic.twitter.com/saR15bNr6S
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So he lets me know where his car is and I'm like it's go time. Don't be a lil bitch. Take a breath and head outside pic.twitter.com/GezfGotFsc
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So I get to the car and knock on the passenger side window and he rolls it down. My anxiety... through the roof.
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Me on the inside: pic.twitter.com/onpFSI2LrS
Now I have a good ass look at his face & I'm like he too fine, I can't back down.So I'm thanking him for bringing it & he's like no problem
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
I can tell he's about to make moves to leave so it's now or never. Time to actually shoot this shot
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So I say, "Excuse me if this is really forward, but would you like to go out sometime?" pic.twitter.com/XyomQzyHAn
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
And then he like chuckles and smiles, and says "Text me" pic.twitter.com/nHbiEn2Div
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So yeah. I shot my shot. It actually was successful. The end.
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Now you'd think it was all over. It wasn't.
Update: I hate my life. pic.twitter.com/bapaxnVFLI
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 10, 2016
OH SHEEEEEIIIIT! Plot twist.
This man is married. Has a whole ass wife. What.
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 10, 2016
Why not just tell me upfront thooo. "Wanna go out sometime?" "I'm married" "okay cool. Bye"
— Nocturnal HoHoHo🎄✨ (@KelliAmirah) December 10, 2016
After all of that, she told Huffington Post: “It really is such a laughable situation...So I got over it pretty quick.”
Good on you, girl - onwards and upwards!
