You’ll love it here. Stick with me 🤗

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

My mother called me three times that morning.

I was busy.

“Call you back,” I texted.

She replied, “Okay ❤️”

I never did.

That evening, my sister called.

“Mom is gone.”

I stared at my phone for a long time.

Not because I didn’t understand.

Because the last message from her was still on my screen.

“Okay ❤️”

Sometimes the people we think will always be there are the ones we keep postponing.

Call them.

Reply to the message.

Say the thing.

Tomorrow is not promised.

What’s one message you wish you had answered

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

There was one seat left on the train.

A tired woman rushed toward it.

So did an old man.

She got there first.

Then she noticed he was holding a photograph.

She looked at it.

A young woman.

He whispered:

“My wife. Today would have been our 50th anniversary.”

The woman stood up.

“Please, sit.”

He looked surprised.

“You don’t have to.”

“I know.”

He sat down.

For the rest of the journey, they didn’t say another word.

But sometimes you don’t need a speech to make someone’s day a little easier.

What is one small kindness someone showed you that you still remember?

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

Me: Are you serious?

Boyfriend: Yes.

Me: How would you know?

Boyfriend: Because I found something yesterday.

Me: What?

Boyfriend: Your spare key.

Me: I keep it in my purse.

Boyfriend: I know.

Me: Then how did you find it?

He went quiet.

Me: Alex?

Boyfriend: Because someone used it to get into your apartment.

I slowly moved away from the closet.

Me: I'm calling the police.

Boyfriend: They're already on their way.

Me: Then why did you call me?

Boyfriend: Because I need you to get out before they arrive.

Me: Why?

He didn't answer.

Me: Why?!

Then I heard a man's voice behind the closet door.

Man: Alex?

My blood went cold.

He knew my name.

I whispered into the phone.

Me: Someone is in here.

Boyfriend: I know.

Me: How?

Boyfriend: Because I can hear him too.

I froze.

Me: What do you mean?

Boyfriend: Alex... I'm not at the police station.

My heart dropped.

Me: Where are you?

Boyfriend: I'm outside your apartment.

I looked toward my front door.

It was slightly open.

I knew I had locked it.

Me: Then who called me?

There was silence.

Then my boyfriend whispered:

Boyfriend: Don't move.

Me: Why?

Boyfriend: Because I'm looking through your window right now.

Me: What can you see?

He took a breath.

Boyfriend: You.

Me: Then who is standing behind you?

He didn't answer.

The call ended.

Three seconds later, someone knocked on my bedroom door.

And a voice whispered:

Alex...

Open the door.

I knew that voice.

It was my boyfriend's.

But my boyfriend was supposed to be outside.

So who was standing behind the door?

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

My boyfriend called me at 2:13 AM.

I almost didn’t answer.

Then he said something that made me sit up in bed.

Boyfriend: Are you alone?

Me: Yes. Why?

Boyfriend: Don’t turn on the lights.

Me: What?

Boyfriend: Just listen to me.

Me: You’re scaring me.

Boyfriend: I need you to trust me.

Me: Where are you?

Boyfriend: At the police station.

Me: WHAT HAPPENED?

Silence.

Then he said:

Boyfriend: I need you to check the closet.

Me: Why?

Boyfriend: Because I think someone has been living in your apartment.

I laughed.

I thought he was joking.

Then I heard something move inside the closet.

I stopped breathing.

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

The man sitting beside me on the plane suddenly whispered:

Man: Don’t look behind you.

I froze.

Me: Why?

Man: Just trust me.

Me: Do you know me?

Man: No.

Me: Then why are you telling me this?

He leaned closer.

Man: Because the woman three rows behind us has been following you since the airport.

I wanted to turn around.

He grabbed my wrist.

Man: Don’t.

Me: Who is she?

Man: I don’t know.

Me: Then how do you know she’s following me?

He looked at me.

Man: Because she’s been following me too.

The plane went silent around us.

Then the flight attendant walked over.

She looked at the man.

And said:

Flight attendant: Sir, you need to come with me.

He stood up.

Before leaving, he looked at me and whispered:

Man: Whatever you do, don’t trust the woman in seat 14A.

I looked at seat 14A.

Nobody was sitting there.

Would you have believed him?

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

She looked at his TikTok profile for about two seconds, handed my phone back to me and said:

Girl, you’re good. He’s not worth the stress.

😭😭😭

Then she turned to him and said:

And you? Stop collecting girls’ phones like you’re at customer service.

I was so confused I couldn’t even speak.

The guy just stood there looking embarrassed.

I finally asked her:

Wait… do you know him?

She said:

No.

I just know his type.

AND WALKED AWAY 😭😭😭

I spent the rest of the night wondering what she saw in that man that I somehow missed.

Women will investigate a situation you didn’t even know was under investigation. 😂

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

Last night at a friend’s birthday, I met this guy who was actually really nice.

We talked for a while, he made me laugh, and eventually he asked for my TikTok.

My phone was in my hand, but I was holding a drink, so I gave it to him.

Here, type your username yourself.

He was standing there trying to find his account when this girl suddenly walked over.

She looked at him.

Then she looked at my phone.

Then she looked at me.

I thought maybe she knew him, so I smiled.

She didn’t smile back.

She just said:

Give me that phone.

The guy immediately handed it to her.

And what she did next had everybody around us trying not to laugh…

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

My boyfriend and I were at a restaurant yesterday and this couple at the next table started arguing.

Nothing serious at first.

The girl was just quietly telling him she was upset because he had ignored her messages all day.

The guy kept eating like she was giving a presentation he didn’t register for 😭

Then she said:

So if I did the same thing to you, you’d be okay with it?

He looked up and said:

Honestly? Yes.

She just stared at him.

I almost choked on my drink because even my boyfriend stopped eating.

Then the guy added:

I’m not saying I’d like it. I’m saying I wouldn’t make it a big deal.

The girl nodded slowly and said:

Okay.

And went back to eating.

I thought the argument was over.

It absolutely was not.

About ten minutes later, the waiter came with their bill.

The girl reached into her bag, brought out her card and paid for everything.

The guy looked surprised.

He said:

Why are you paying?

She smiled and said:

Because you said you wouldn’t make a big deal about things.

Then she stood up and walked out.

😭😭😭

The man just sat there staring at the door.

My boyfriend looked at me and whispered:

Please never ask me if I’m okay with something unless you already know what I’m going to say.

I was cryingggg 😭

But honestly, was she wrong or was that man just not smart enough to realize he was digging his own grave?

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

Hw l think l missed my future husband😥.
Some months ago l met dis lovely, caring and handsome guy who reside in USA 🇺🇸. We are always in touch with each other; always on phone calls , video calls planning hw our future will be! He pays some of my bills too. At a point anytime we are on video call he will be asking me he wants to suck breast ; which l always reply her to wait when we stay together l will breastfeed her . Last month , he called me along d line he said l should show him my breasts on video call and l refused ! I told him dat l can do dat . I can’t be showing him my breast any of my private parts on video call after he cut d call and since then he never call or check on me again.
What l did was it Good or it didn’t worth breaking our lovely communication and d friendship & relationship we are building?

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

The girl wearing the shirt immediately started apologizing.

My friend said:

Relax. I’m not angry with you. I just want to know what story he told you.

The girl looked confused.

Apparently, he had told her that my friend was his EX.

My friend started laughing.

Then she showed the girl their recent messages, pictures and even their plans for the weekend.

The girl went completely silent.

Then she looked at him and said:

So I’m the side chick?

He said nothing.

She slapped the shirt back onto his chest and walked out.

My friend said she didn’t even cry.

She just stood there thinking:

Imagine being cheated on by a man who wasn’t even good at lying. 😭

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

My friend called me last night sounding completely confused.

She said she had gone to surprise her boyfriend at his apartment because he told her he was home alone.

She got there, knocked twice.

No answer.

She called him.

He picked up and said he was in the shower.

She waited outside.

Then she heard a woman laughing inside.

She said she immediately knew something was wrong.

But instead of making a scene, she just sat on the staircase and waited.

About 15 minutes later, the door opened.

Her boyfriend came out.

Behind him was a girl wearing his oversized T-shirt.

He froze.

My friend looked at the girl.

Then looked at him.

And the first thing she said was:

Wait… you told HER you were home alone too?

😭😭😭

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

Later that night, my friend called me privately.

She said she had asked him about the girl.

He told her they had never dated.

Never kissed.

Never even flirted.

Just friends.

She believed him.

Until the next morning.

The girl sent my friend screenshots.

Not romantic messages.

Not cheating.

Something much worse.

She had been texting him for months saying:

You need to tell her the truth before she finds out from somebody else.

And every time, he replied:

I'll handle it.

My friend called him immediately.

He finally admitted the truth.

He had been married before.

And he hadn't told her.

Not because he was ashamed.

Because he was still legally married.

😭😭😭

The girl wasn't his ex.

She was his wife's sister.

I don't think I've ever seen a plot twist arrive that aggressively.

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

My friend introduced me to her new boyfriend last weekend.

Very handsome.

Very polite.

Very quiet.

The kind of man everybody's mother would immediately like.

We were all sitting together when one of her friends suddenly walked in.

She looked at him.

He looked at her.

Nobody said anything.

But the atmosphere changed so quickly I thought the AC had stopped working.

My friend asked:

You two know each other?

The girl smiled and said:

A little.

Her boyfriend suddenly became very interested in his phone.

My friend laughed and said:

Okayyy, what does a little mean?

The girl said:

Nothing serious.

Then she walked away.

My friend looked at me and said:

Why do I feel like I should be concerned?

I told her:

Because even I am concerned and I don't know anybody here. 😭

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

Later, I finally found out the woman wasn't the groom's ex.

She was his older sister.

Apparently, their father had passed away a few years earlier, and he had always said he wanted his sister to be at his wedding no matter what.

She had been emotional because their father wasn't there to see it.

I felt so stupid for assuming the worst.

Then she told me something I'll never forget:

Sometimes people are quiet at happy occasions because they're remembering the person who isn't there.

That one actually humbled me.

Not every emotional moment has a scandal behind it.

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

I went to a wedding where a woman spent almost the entire reception sitting alone.

She wasn't crying.

She wasn't angry.

She was just watching the bride and groom very quietly.

At some point, I sat beside her and asked if she was okay.

She smiled and said:

I'm fine.

Then she looked at the groom and said:

I used to think I was going to be the one standing beside him today.

I immediately felt awkward and told her I was sorry.

She laughed.

Then she said:

Don't be. I'm actually happy for them.

I thought that was the end of it.

Until the bride walked over.

She hugged the woman.

And said:

Thank you for coming.

The woman smiled and replied:

I wouldn't miss it.

I was sitting there thinking, WHAT IS GOING ON? 😭

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

My father called me at 6:14 AM.

I was asleep.

He called again at 6:21.

I silenced my phone.

At 7:03, he texted:

“Just wanted to hear your voice.”

I replied at 9:47.

“Good morning, Dad ❤️”

He never answered.

That was the last message I ever sent him.

We spend so much time thinking we have more time.

We don't.

Who would you call right now if you knew you couldn't call them tomorrow?

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

He sat up immediately.

Then he started laughing.

Not the nervous kind.

The kind that made me even angrier.

Me: What exactly is funny?

He took the phone from me and typed:

Wrong number.

The woman replied almost immediately.

Sorry! Oh my God. I thought this was my boyfriend’s number.

I stared at the screen.

Then I looked at my boyfriend.

Me: So you expect me to believe that?

He said, You don't have to. Call the number.

I did.

A woman answered.

And the first thing she said was:

Please don't tell my husband.

I nearly dropped the phone.

My boyfriend looked at me.

I looked at him.

Then we both realized…

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

Hw l slapped my boyfriend back
Yesterday evening l was having a conversation with my boyfriend at a point we started having some disagreements along d line out of anger he raised his hand and land me a hot 🥵 slap 👋 stars ✨ left my eyes 👀 l stood up immediately and gave him 2 thunder slaps .

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

I almost blocked my boyfriend over a text that wasn’t even meant for me.

It was 11:47 p.m.

He was asleep beside me when his phone lit up.

I wasn’t trying to check his phone.

But the message preview said:

I can’t keep doing this. She’s starting to suspect something.

My heart dropped.

I looked at him.

Still sleeping.

I picked up the phone.

The message was from a woman I didn’t know.

I woke him up.

Me: Who is she?

Him: Who?

Me: Don’t play with me. Who is she?

He looked confused until I showed him the message

[Alex Modest @alex_modest94]

My mother called me three times that morning.

I was busy.

“Call you back,” I texted.

She replied, “Okay ❤️”

I never did.

That evening, my sister called.

“Mom is gone.”

I stared at my phone for a long time.
