This man drives me insane

My horh our hot dogs when I hear a female voice to my left "Callan!" a woman calls breathlessly

I wipe my mouth with my napkin as she comes over and Callan sort of boredly watches her "Olivia," he says, introducing me

"Oh, hi" The wo back at hi a soing to see you at your polo irl is so beautiful, with long black hair and eyes She waits to see if he says so else then, but he doesn’t

I run my hands over my uniform, suddenly self-conscious

"Wellbye" She heads back over to her friend

I stay quiet and we finish our hot dogs

I know that if he wanted her, he could have her Like, right here and now And it gives ht of sex fro you want?" I ask hi" He tosses his napkin into the trash, and then does the saoodbye, but soon we’re just walking

"I knohat you’re thinking That I’ foolish and that I should take the job, but it’s best if I stay where I a"

We stop walking

He slips his hand into my hair "Tell me to kiss you, Livvy"

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you haven’t stopped thinking about it"

"I have"

"In that case, I haven’t" He strokes a finger down my jaw "So How about you kiss et kissed all the tih"

I exhale, leaning against the building behind me for support We’re kind of secluded, at the entrance to an alley People are passing by on the street, oblivious to us

"So how about you kiss s ht"

"You kissedlips of yours For now"
