“Decency is overrated,”
I couldn’t even fully articulate my fascination with her, but she was enchanting and I wanted to know everything there was to know about her. But only if Enzo was on board. Our dynamic only worked if we were both on the same page.
I’d spent the last two days obsessing about seeing this woman again and a random sign on the side of the road led me to her.
I wasn’t responsible for the sadness, and yet, I wanted to play a part in fixing it.
“If I leave this bar without telling you, I may never see you again. Or it may be another two years before our paths cross again, and that possibility will never be okay with me.
We want you to be ours. And being ours means we want to take care of you. Spoil you. Give you whatever you want.”
“But ain’t that the beauty in it? Wouldn’t you rather have something good for a while than to always wonder about it?”
Every time she got close to me, it was like a static shock of awareness assaulted my senses. I didn’t like that shit.
“I’m gonna be so good to you,” he whispered hoarsely. “So fucking good.”
“Swallow every last drop, baby. Show Goldy how good you can be for me.”
“Don’t ever give someone this much power over you again, Goldy.”
“Fuck this bank and fuck anybody who tells you you can’t do what the hell you want to do just because you’re not doing it the way they want.
“If you’re sleeping in my bed and I’m not doing anything to make sure you have everything you want and need, then I give you permission to call me a deadbeat.”
“The next time you think I don’t want you, I want you to remember that making you come just made me come in my pants.”
I wanted to write songs about the things his tongue made me feel. The way his dick made me believe in heaven. The way his body made me happy to be alive.
I was never coming back from this woman. She owned me in ways that didn’t make sense for someone I’d never even kissed, never even hugged. She’d burrowed herself so deep into my existence I couldn’t remember what it was like to not want her.
“I have plenty of secrets, Goldy. But the only one on my mind right now is how much you drive me fucking crazy.”
“I think you’re going to ruin me.”
“I just want to understand, Goldy. Take all the time you need as long as that time leads to some answers.”
“You belong wherever I am. I never agreed to three months with you. Remember that.”
They balanced me out while complementing each other. We’d unintentionally struck the perfect harmony.
“Your boundaries aren’t harsh just because they might make someone else uncomfortable. You have every reason not to want to be around that woman, and now you won’t have to be.”
