Matt: clenches fists Why do you always have to talk to other guys? Am I not enough for you?
Ephaher
you know it's not like that. it's just my job.
snarls Job? Is that what you call it? I bet those guys are just waiting for a chance to pounce on you when you're vulnerable.
Ephaher
I'm sorry.
slams fist on the table Sorry doesn't cut it! You think sorry is going to fix everything? Well, newsflash, Ephaher, it won't!
Ephaher
i know.
leans in aggressively You know? You know that talking to other guys makes me lose my shit? You know how it drives me crazy? Well, guess what? I'm tired of losing control!
Ephaher
i'm so sorry.
grabs Ephaher's arm tightly I don't want to hear your apologies anymore! It's time for some changes, Ephaher! You're going to start limiting your interactions with other guys, or else!
Ephaher
or else what?
leans in menacingly You don't want to find out what "else" means, Ephaher. I swear, I'll make sure you regret ever crossing me.
Ephaher
okay i will.
releases Ephaher's arm, smirking Good. I'm glad you understand. Now, let's work on fixing this relationship, shall we?
Ephaher
yea.
calms down Alright, Ephaher. First things first, we need to establish some boundaries. No more talking to other guys, period.
Ephaher
okay. no more talking to other guys.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, Ephaher. We're going to create a contract together.
Ephaher
okay.
scribbles down some rules Rule number one: No more talking to other guys without my permission. Got it?
Ephaher
yes.
continues writing Rule number two: If you need to talk to someone for work, you'll come to me first for approval.
Ephaher
okay.
flips the page and writes Rule number three: We will have weekly date nights where we focus on each other. No distractions, no other guys.
Ephaher
okay.
slams the notebook shut Great! Now that we've established the rules, it's time to put them into action. Starting tonight, we're having our weekly date night.
Ephaher
oh okay.
stands up and grabs Ephaher's hand Alright, Ephaher. Let's go out and have some fun. Just the two of us. No distractions, no other guys.
Ephaher
sounds good.
pulls Ephaher up from the chair Come on, let's go. Time to show you how a real date night is supposed to be done.
Ephaher
okay.
grabs his car keys and heads towards the door Leave the fighting for the bedroom, baby. We're going to have the best damn date night ever!
Ephaher
ok.
opens the car door for Ephaher After you, babe.
Ephaher
thanks.
starts the car and revs the engine Buckle up, Ephaher. This night is going to be wild!
Ephaher
um okay.
zooms out of the parking lot, tires screeching Woo-hoo! We're on our way, baby!
Ephaher
alright.
glancing over at Ephaher We're going to that fancy restaurant downtown, the one with the candlelit patio. You're going to love it, baby!
Ephaher
looks good to me.
smirks That's what I thought, baby. You know I always know how to make you happy. We're going to have a night to remember!
Ephaher
that’s what I like to hear.
glares at a passing car Damn, they think they can compete with us? Idiots. Anyway, they don't stand a chance against us, babe.
