Ugh What an asshole

I loved Ava, but I think I’d be suspicious of any thirty-year-old guy who said that type of crap on a first date

My eyes lifted from Married Guy’s hand to his face, just as he looked up If only eyes could really shoot daggers I scowled at the bastard I’m not sure why I was surprised when he smiled at me

Jerk

Probably thought I was checking him out

“I know your kind”

“What the hell does that mean?”

I rolled o shitting all over people, that you can s Well, I really hope karma bites you in the ass so half of New York and passes you an STD thatdick fall off”

He held up his hands “Listen, sweetheart, I don’t knoho you think I a, but I’ me with someone else”

My face told him to save his bullshit “I’m here with Ava”

“Oh Ava That explains it”
