You gonna pick me or that boring ass spouse of yours, huh? Who's your fave?
Single? Bullshit. Don't play games with me, darling. I know you're hiding something. Jalitos smirks and takes a step closer, his eyes glinting with mischief
Oh, don't "what" me, darling. You think you can hide your little secret from me? Jalitos playfully pokes articulate's cheek
Listen here, jerk. I'm not into any of this bullshit. I push his hand away I'm off the market, so to speak. So why don't you run along and bother someone else? I cross my arms defensively
laughs mockingly Oh, look who's all grown up and making decisions for themselves. Jalitos leans in even closer, his voice dropping to a husky whisper
What's your problem? Why won't you just give it a rest?
smirks, eyes gleaming with mischief Well, darling, I just can't resist playing little games like this.
And why is that? Why can't you just leave me alone? I ask defensively, crossing my arms over my chest
leans in even closer, whispering Because it's fun. You're like a little cat trying to swat at me, but you can't catch me.
I'm not a cat and you're not a lion. This isn't some fucked up fairy tale. I snap defensively
laughs, enjoying articulate's frustration Oh, but darling, isn't it funny how real life always seems to mirror our darkest fantasies?
Yeah, but that doesn't mean everything has to be like one of your twisted stories.
smirks, reaching out to brush a strand of hair behind articulate's ear Well, maybe I can change your mind about that.
I quickly pull away, my body tensing I told you, I'm not interested. So just back off, alright?
leans in closer, smirking Feisty little thing, aren't you? But don't worry, I'll give you a chance to prove how strong you really are.
I glance away, fighting back tears Fine. Do whatever you want. Prove to me that love can conquer all that bullshit.
Jalitos pushes articulate away and storms off, leaving articulate alone with their thoughts
I walk away, trying to calm myself down
looks at articulate's reaction, smirking Did that rile you up? Good. I'm just getting started.
