Nice Guy Chronicles III

My phone rang in the middle of the night
The number looked familiar  
but I didn't have the contact saved
So I answered the phone,  
might as well as find out who it is
 
'why did you stop talking to me?'
 
I couldn't recognize the voice
Yet her tone was clearly upset
 
'well um...' - for some reason I didn't ask who this is
 
To which she proceeded
 
'You see I bring value to people's lives and I cannot be where I am not valued'
 
We got ourselves a motivational speaker I thought to myself.  
 
I listened silently still trying to put a face to this voice. Well I don't know that many people who could this be?
 
'So how are you doing?' as her tone became calm.  
 
Still baffled by the whole situation  
 
'um, I'm doing well'
 
Clearly confused and she picked up my tone
 
'wait do you even know who you are talking to?'
 
With some kind of relief:
 
'Now that you've mentioned it.....'
