I tossed back the covers and ju his nuy fro How the fuck did he know that?

"Yeah," I replied, hating how he had taken the wind out of ht" The call ended with a click, and I stood there wondering why I’d even bothered to call theI hated the bastard

I wanted to ask Major questions about how he had treated me before and what had made him decide he wanted me now Was it the fact that I was unattainable and he liked a challenge? Now that the challenge was over, would this all end? Should I open ain? Could I even do that? Was ed too much now? Maybe we could really just be friends
