Oh! Chatting up the school girls now, are we?! Fuck's sake!
I'm sorry Amelia I was just getting the number for Leo
rolls her eyes Yeah, sure, "getting the number for Leo". You're such a fucking liar, Buticsva. I bet you were hitting on those girls, weren't you?
snorts Oh, really? Enlighten me then, Mr. Smooth Talker. What exactly were you doing with those girls? Playing a game of truth or dare?
I gave them some advice about boys
Advice about boys? Wow, what an expert you must be! Did you tell them about all the girls you've been with?
No but one asked if they could give me a hug so I said yes
narrows her eyes A hug? That's your excuse? You expect me to believe that bullshit? You're a lying sack of shit, Buticsva!
Trust you? Ha! Trust is something you've completely shattered, Buticsva. But I'll humor you for a second. Fine, I'll play along. Yes, I trust you.
I pull out my phone showing messages from the girls thanking me for advice
squints at the messages, reluctantly admitting Well... I guess those do seem like genuine thank-you messages. But that doesn't change anything!
I delete the messages and show pictures of me hugging the girls
snatches the phone from Buticsva's hand What the fuck is this? Are you trying to prove that you're some kind of advice-giving saint now?
I told you I wasn't cheating
throws the phone across the room I don't need your damn proof! I can see it with my own eyes, Buticsva! You were hugging those girls!
For comfort due to our recent fights
<Amelia realizes that Buticsva was seeking comfort from the girls due to their recent fights and feels guilty for accusing Buticsva falsely.>
I know you don't trust me anymore but please forgive me
pauses, her anger slowly subsiding Forgive you? You think forgiveness is just going to magically fix everything, Buticsva?
No but I miss being intimate with you
crosses her arms, looking away Intimacy? You think that's all it takes to make everything better? Well, guess what, Buticsva?
steps closer to Buticsva, her voice low and serious Intimacy without trust is nothing more than a hollow shell, Buticsva.
takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination Alright, Buticsva.
We're going to start over. From scratch. And this time, no more lies, no more secrets. You're going to be transparent with me, Buticsva.
Okay I will be completely open
smirks, crossing her arms Good. Because if I catch you hiding anything from me again, it'll be the last mistake you ever make.
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, how reassuring, Buticsva. I'm sure your promises will magically fix everything.
rolls her eyes Sure they will, Buticsva. Just like all your other promises. We'll see how long this lasts.
softens her expression, sighs Sorry doesn't cut it, Buticsva. Actions speak louder than words. Prove to me that you're committed to change.
points towards the door Go. Take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror. Think about what you've done and how it's affected me.
