The smooth criminal

Flash fiction prompt by Raymond G. Taylor - #1

"Oh, Jeff... I love you too... but...", wait, let me count the ways.

"Stella"?

"Sorry, I fell asleep".

I love you the way you stop to admire yourself in every mirror

I love you the way you ogle every curvy female form as we pass by

I love how criminally smooth you think you are

I love how you never actually listen to what I have to say

I love how I once found your crooked smile endearing

I love that my eyes have been perspicaciously opened

I love that I finally see ME, Jeff...

Not the accident looming in the blazing headlights of you!

I love me Jeff, not you

I am liberated...FREE!

Bye, bye. Be happy with your reflection.
