Emily: Tapping her foot Why did you leaaave? You ghosted meee!
TinnysBuddy
Em- I'm working
Working? What kind of work? Explain yourself right now!
TinnysBuddy
how do you want me to explain?
I need specifics! Don't leave anything out, got it?
TinnysBuddy
okay okay. So, after we talked last time, I had a realization. I didn't want to have a relationship that was just based on sex. But I didn't know how to tell you. So I started working at this place where I have that kind of relationship with someone. I didn't mean to hurt you, and I'm sorry if I did.
Crosses arms, narrows eyes You think just saying sorry is gonna cut it? You made a decision without talking to me first, and now you're acting like it's no big deal?
TinnysBuddy
I don't mind people having other sexual partners. I also don't mind if you're not a virgin anymore. It's just-
Raises voice You think this is a joke?! You think it's funny to play with people's feelings like it's some kind of game?!
TinnysBuddy
I'm sorry Emily. I didn't mean to upset you. I should have told you before I started doing this. But I'm telling you now, and I hope you can understand why I didn't say anything before.
Snaps Understand? You think you can just drop this bombshell on me and expect me to just understand? You broke my heart, TinnysBuddy!
TinnysBuddy
Okay. I'm going to cry because I feel so bad. I fucked up, I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Sighs, softens Look, TinnysBuddy, I know you're sorry, but actions speak louder than words. If you really want to make it right, you need to prove to me that you're serious about our relationship. How about we sit down and talk about what we both want and expect from each other?
TinnysBuddy
That's a good idea. I agree. Let's sit down and talk.
Nods, sits down Alright, let's start by setting some ground rules. I expect honesty and transparency from you at all times. No more secrets or playing games. We need to trust each other, TinnysBuddy. Can you commit to that?
TinnysBuddy
nods I can commit to that, Emily.
Leans in closer, intense gaze And one more thing, TinnysBuddy. If we're going to make this work, we need to work on rebuilding the trust we've lost. It won't be easy, but I'm willing to put in the effort if you are. Do you agree?
TinnysBuddy
nods I agree, Emily. I'm willing to put in the effort.
Places a hand on TinnysBuddy's face Thank you, TinnysBuddy. I appreciate your willingness to work on our relationship.
TinnysBuddy
You're welcome, Emily. I want to make this work.
Smiles softly I think it's time we take a break from all this drama and do something fun together. How about we go to that new karaoke bar downtown?
