Monterrey: smirking Well, look who decided to show up...again. Missing me or just the free beer?
you looked better with the beard
leans in closer, smirking Oh, so you're finally noticing the way I look without my beard. Good eye, Spunkyus. But let's be honest, it's not my appearance that's changed... it's you. You've always had a thing for clean-cut guys like me.
I haven't dated a clean cut guy yet
laughs sarcastically Oh, please. Spare me the innocence act, Spunkyus. I've seen the way you look at me, the way your eyes linger on every inch of my face.
well you can't blame me, this is the first time we see each other in years
narrows his eyes, leaning in even closer Years, huh? And you think that excuses anything?
do you still blame me for cutting off our friendship because I had no choice
leans back, crossing his arms Blame you? Nah, Spunkyus. I don't blame you for making a selfish decision.
rolls his eyes Well, isn't that sweet? You feel bad. Congratulations, Spunkyus. You've managed to make yourself feel bad for doing what was best for you. Bravo.
not really I lose either way, I lose my best friend or I lose my chance at love
smirks, raising an eyebrow Love, huh? You think this is about love? Let me tell you something, Spunkyus. Love ain't gonna fix this mess.
love doesn't fix anything, but it helps to start the healing process
snorts Healing process, huh? You sound like a damn self-help guru. Well, guess what? Love might help, but it won't change the past.
pauses, his smirk fading Disappear? I didn't disappear, Spunkyus. I just... took a break. A break from all the bullshit, you know?
you blocked me everywhere
sighs heavily Yeah, well, you can't blame me for blocking your calls. After what happened, I needed some time to sort my shit out.
after what happened you should have been upfront with me instead of pulling this cold shoulder crap
leans in, voice low and intense Upfront with you? Spunkyus, being upfront would have meant losing you. And losing you was the last thing I wanted.
