I’h because his story is so ridiculous If there is one thing I’ve learned in the past few months with Malcolue Honestly, I wouldn’t wish ynist who doesn’t care about any of the women he’s ever been with There’s no way a Playboy bunny would give him the time of day, so clearly, Ronald’s also become a compulsive liar

But then Ronald steps closer tothe space I’d intentionally put between us “She’s a real wildcat in the bedroo about that, would you, Leslie? With you, it was always in the dark, missionary, with the cover pulled over our heads”

My blood boils and I clench e to hit hih my veins Instead, I narrowthat comes to mind

“For your inforive a shit what you’re doing with your Playboy bunny Not only that, but , which is more than I can say for your scrawny ass”

Ronald’s smirk falters and his nostrils flair “Oh yeah? Who is it?”

“None of your business”

He laughs, his s “I knew it You know, it’s sad that you feel like you need to make up a boyfriend to make me jealous If it means that much to you, we can still hook up this weekend Amber understands that not all wo to share” Heme full in the face “Trust me, she won’t mind”

“What are you s froh

“I’ure out what I ever saw in you, little man It’s funny that you still think your opinion matters No one cares about you Ronald”

My ex goes purple with rage, his face ly
