We’ll go. You and me. Make the arrangements.”
MWA HAHA
but not all men
Im gonna stop u right there
My head falls to his chest as little black dots fill my vision, and even as I struggle to regain my balance, I notice how nice and firm he is, how good he smells—soap and skin and fabric softener, how reassuring his arm around me feels, as if nothing truly bad can happen when I’m standing against him like this.
Mm yess
He forces his face into a less concerned shape. “No, never. I just don’t want to blow forty bucks on funnel cake for you. But come along.”
U were just bEGGING to pay her debtbut sure
While I was gone, she fell in love with my dad.”
I have no words
lost a patient
To... Plastic surgery?
and I got a little sister out of it, so it’s not all bad.” My mouth opens, and he
Hey so thats insane
“A man has limited control over where his mind goes at various points.”
Oh ok
I’d probably orgasm right where I stand.

“Trying to ruin my social life by fattening me up?” he asks.
Yes
“Your smart little mouth is plenty,”
?
“Tali, meet Linda. She saw you in the waiting room and is telling me she wants to look like you.”
WHAT
“Yes, let’s try that,” Linda says. “You’ve done such amazing work on her.”
ALL NATTY BABY
“I wish my husband would look at me the way he looks at you,” Linda whispers. “Like he could be completely content if he never had to look at anything else.”
DEAR GOD
“I have a party tonight,” he says, shattering the fantasy. “I may need your help.”
Charli
“So you’re an actor?” I ask.
PLS PLS PLS
“Fine, I’ll have sex with you,” he says with a long sigh, “but only the one time, okay? And from behind, so it’s not awkward in the morning.”
He may have won me over
“Sorry, Max,” he says, sounding anything but sorry. “I need to steal her away for a moment. Excuse us.”
Nice
would never have asked you to come if I’d known he’d be here.” His voice is soft and apologetic.
Eep
“It had nothing to do with being a good friend. It was just common sense. I’d never even met Matt”— he says the name with a sneer—“and I knew he couldn’t do better than you.”
Smirk
“You’re a terrible liar,” he says. “There’s not anyone here I want to talk to anyway.”
Awe
And Matt didn’t look like the sharpest tool in the shed. You can’t convince me it was his intellect that turned you on.”
SABRINA
sighs heavily, still facing away from me. “The dress and the voice had an unexpected consequence,” he says through gritted teeth. “Will you please just get back in the fucking dressing room?”
“You didn’t sound like a little girl,” he growls. “That’s the problem. You sounded like a very big girl in need of a...Jesus Christ. I’m waiting outside.”
Woah
“Just don’t wear it when you’re out with Sam
Hmm
He’s gonna miss you when you go.”
Ah
What really happened? I want to ask. Because Hayes seems to blame himself. Did he cheat? Did he shut her out, become cruel and cold?
Girl he told u
softly, “he’s got a heart valve defect. It decreases blood flow to the brain, and he blacks out. Did you really think I’d help someone cover up child abuse?” I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but the dam breaks. I press my face to my hands as tears begin to fall. “Can they fix it?”
Humble her again…
“Not until the party,” I whisper. “I’ll be fine. It’s food poisoning. I just need to sit for a minute.”
Um
it feels so good not to stand
Phoebe crumbs
“And you’re absolutely fine and just need to sit. I’d like to put you over my knee right now.”
K
care. I collapse on the deliciously cool tile floor. I think I’d like to just stay here.
Yhea
“And I’ve already seen you like this. You’ve been sick repeatedly.” “I need to shower,” I whisper. “Please.”
Noooo
“Because you complained,” he says in a raised voice. “And now you’re complaining again, while urinating, like the refined little lady you are, so I’ll change the temperature once more.”
Eeeeee
Maybe I spoke too soon about Hayes being slightly worse than most men.
Yup
You don’t mind if I join, I hope? I’m famished.”
You little shit
cinnamon-flavored soda, banana-flavored Oreos, truffle potato chips.
What the fuck??
“It would work,” he says. His voice is low and raspy. I shiver at the sound of it. “I could make you come in two minutes flat.”
DO IT
“It won’t,” he says. “It won’t, I swear. You don’t have to touch me. Just let me do this. Let me be the first.”
oh GOD WHY NOT ME
“We had sex sixteen times, Tali, and as you love to point out, I’m ancient. I probably won’t be capable of having sex again for a month.”
WHAT????
want, so badly, to believe him. But it will only lead to me being more crushed when I discover he was wrong. I need to protect myself. I’ve come a long way since Matt broke my heart, but with Hayes it would be so much worse.
Im gonna dnf if she keeps this shit up
“I was performing what is possibly the most complex surgery I do,” he begins haltingly, staring at his hands, “and I spent the whole time thinking about this. The thing with us. It’s stressing me out.”
Pookie :(
My eyes close. “I never expected anything from you,” I say between my teeth. My throat swells, and I swallow hard. I refuse to cry in front of him, because really, it’s entirely my own fault. I gave him so much grief about the way he treated women, the way they might expect things from him, but they were all fine. I’m the only idiot he’s had to give this speech to. “I thought I made that pretty clear yesterday when I went back to my own place.”
Ur so annoying
“Does it matter what I want?” I whisper. “You don’t want anything.”
Ur actually a dumb fucking cunt
I place my hands in front of my face. “I’m the person you hired to get rid of girls like me,” I whisper. “I was just trying to make sure you didn’t have to ask me to go. I knew what this was going into it. I didn’t want to put unrealistic expectations on you.”
SHJT UP STUPID SLUT
Obsession like this is a fleeting thing, but I’m not going to worry about how long his interest will last. I’m just going to relish every minute of it while
HE LITERALY JUST SAID H E WANTS U IDIOT
When your family needs you, you step
Ur family fucking sucks tho
