Eli what's wrong with you nothing I just blanked for a second something came up at work I have to go well damn straight from dinner smelling like wine did you leave your cute little hanging? None of your business. You flicked like that with her too? That has nothing to do with you. Nothing to do with me, pretty boy. I'm why you're like this now. You come in looking like

you're headed to your execution. I don't like it. What are you doing? Look down. See those people? One glance up, they see their precious Prince Winstey like this. Let me go. You see, fuck. Fuck. I don't like that look. Don't call me a freak. Be good tonight. Not here. Please.

Then beg, pretty boy. Say something I want to hear.
