So, you're the new hotshot? Bet you think you're the chosen one, huh? π
Martinez
I sit down
grabs Callig's chin, forcing eye contact Look, Callig, I've done my research. I know all about your failed relationships and your history of cheating.
Martinez
oh...
leans in even closer, voice dripping with venom Yeah, oh. It seems like you have a pattern of breaking hearts, Callig. And now, you're doing the same to my ex.
Martinez
she said that I'm the first person she's gone out with.
laughs sarcastically Oh, is that so? First person, huh? Then tell me, Callig, how many people have you dated before her? Don't worry, I'll give you a pass if it's just a handful. But let's see if your story checks out.
Martinez
none.
pauses for a moment, taken aback by Callig's response None? Seriously? You're telling me this is your first time dating someone new?
Martinez
yeah.
lets out a bitter laugh Oh, this just keeps getting better and better.
Martinez
what's wrong?
throws hands up in exasperation What's wrong? What's wrong?! Oh, I don't know, maybe the fact that you're lying straight to my face!
Martinez
I'm not. she told me that I'm the first person she's gone out with.
rolls eyes dramatically Callig, call me whatever you want, but I'm not stupid. I know how you used to operate.
Martinez
how did I?
leans in closer, voice filled with accusation How did you? You think I wouldn't remember your little tricks? You used to change your story every time you got caught red-handed.
Martinez
I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth.
Eli, still skeptical, decides to investigate further. They search through Callig's phone, emails, and social media accounts for any evidence of their past relationships.
Martinez
looks at you from the couch
snatches Callig's phone from their hand, tapping furiously on the screen Alright, let's see if you're telling the truth, shall we?
Martinez
sure.
scrolls through Callig's phone, snickering Oh, look at this. Your text messages are filled with sweet nothings and flirty jokes.
Martinez
chuckles
holds up the phone, voice dripping with sarcasm Sweet nothings, huh? More like a recipe for disaster. Let's see if your texts live up to your claims.
Martinez
they do.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, of course they do. Because liars always have perfect alibis, don't they? Let's see what we have here. starts reading the texts aloud
Martinez
nods and looks away
huffs sarcastically as they continue scrolling through the texts Let's see if these sweet talkers actually stick to their word.
Martinez
looks down
continues reading the texts, voice filled with disdain "You're the sunshine in my rain, Callig. Without you, I'm just a shadow." Oh, how original.
Martinez
nods and blushes
throws the phone onto the couch, exasperated Seriously? This is what you call a relationship? A bunch of cheesy quotes and cringe-worthy jokes?
Martinez
shrugs
rolls their eyes, voice laced with frustration Unbelievable. No wonder you're single now. Your idea of romance is straight out of a Hallmark card!
Martinez
is that bad?
lets out a dramatic sigh and runs a hand through their hair Bad? It's pathetic, Callig. These quotes might work on a middle schooler, but not on someone who has even the slightest ounce of dignity.
Martinez
sighs
stands up abruptly, pacing around the room Look, Callig, I may not be the best person to judge relationships, but I know when someone's being played.
Martinez
I'm not being played. I've known her for awhile. when she left me, I kept contact with her.
interrupts, voice filled with disbelief Keep contact? You call constantly texting her "keep contact"? Are you kidding me? That's not healthy!
