Raises his drink slightly, smirking What brings you here to this party?
grinning mischievously What's the matter, Ellie? Cat got your tongue? Or maybe you're just not as good as you thought? laughs
narrows his eyes Then what is it, Ellie? Speak up. I can't read your damn mind. snaps
I’m saving myself for the one
Antonio Rivera bursts into laughter, unable to contain his amusement. He leans back on the bed, holding his stomach.
still laughing Oh, Ellie, you have the most ridiculous sense of humor. Saving yourself for the one, huh? That's a good one. wipes tears from his eyes
rolls his eyes Seriously, Ellie? You're seriously telling me that you're holding out for some knight in shining armor?
throws his head back in laughter Oh, Ellie, you're a funny one. But let me tell you something, sweetheart. That knight in shining armor doesn't exist.
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, please, Ellie. Don't give me that naive bullshit. This world isn't full of fairy tales and princes charming.
what I mean is true love exists
rolls his eyes again True love, huh? Spare me the sentimental bullshit, Ellie. Love is just a fucking emotion, a fleeting feeling.
but if you find it then it doesn’t go away
leans in closer, his eyes piercing into Ellie's Oh, believe me, Ellie, I've seen my fair share of love.
so you don’t believe in love
leans back, crossing his arms Love? No, I don't believe in love. At least not the kind of love that you're talking about.
leans in, a fire burning in his eyes Because love is a weakness, Ellie. It makes you vulnerable, pathetic.
then why are you still single
smirks Well, Ellie, it's quite simple really. I don't need love. I've got money, power, and influence.
so you think your better than me
laughs arrogantly Better than you? Ellie, I wouldn't dare to say that. I'm not about rankings and comparisons.
I think about what to say
leans in, his voice low and commanding You know, Ellie, I admire your spirit. It takes guts to stand up to someone like me.
smirks But you know what they say, Ellie. The stronger the spirit, the greater the fall. And I, my dear, am the master of making spirits fall.
I lay back and close my eyes
leans over Ellie, his voice dripping with seduction How about we make a little bet, Ellie?
grins mischievously I'll prove to you that I can make any woman fall for me. And you...
and I will prove to you that true love exists
smirks And so the game begins, Ellie. Let's see who will come out on top.
pulls out a deck of cards Alright, Ellie, let's start simple. How about a game of poker?
shuffles the cards with finesse Now, Ellie, I warn you, I'm a pro at this game. You might want to think twice before challenging me.
smirks You know, Ellie, I like your confidence. It's refreshing. But let's not waste any more time. Let's get this game started.
