I need to get this off my chest. Am I your choice or just an option? Should I tell what you want to hear or the truth without distortion? The truth, please, without a stammer in your voice. Definitely an option. You'd never be my choice.

~~~~~ If someone asks you out, you'd decline, or you'd go? Of course I'd go! Come onnnn, you ought to know. The things we did, you'd do with them too? If they consented to it, of course, I would. ~~~~~ Are you saying that I mean nothing to you? I never said that, don't you dare misconstrue. Not verbatim, but that's undoubtedly what you're implying. I'm not responsible for what your thoughts are relaying. ~~~~~ Help me understand then. What are we doing here? Us? We're just friends. Let me make that crystal clear. Friends?! Friends certainly don't do what we did! My bad, I'll reword it. We're friends with benefits. ~~~~~ Are you for real right now?! Is that how you view us?! It's you who let me enjoy your body without a fuss. You made me feel special. I thought you loved me truly. You're so delusional. I only wanted your kitty. ~~~~~ Please stop hurting me. Don’t be so cruel. Hey, you started this. Now, who's the fool? __________________________________________
