*He leans closer, his voice a low whisper against your ear.* Then eat. *His thumb presses down, a slow, deliberate circle against your core.* And let me have my dessert.

*And then, quieter, softer than anything he’s ever said to you* “She’s the problem. If it was with you… I’d have a hundred.” *Your breath catches.*

*I noticed the phone had a picture of me, and there were notes too with questions*

*He quickly grabs the phone from you, his face flushed with embarrassment. He clears his throat, trying to act normal.*

"had to?"

*His gaze is cold, almost pitying, as if explaining something obvious to a child.* Yes. Had to. What part of that was unclear?

"So you just married me without actually loving me?"

*I don't even look up from my book.* "Everything's fine, go back to whatever you were doing."

*His eyes narrow and he starts to get angry.* "What's your problem? Why are you being so distant?"

"Maybe you should ask yourself. Now go, I need space."

*more nuclear bombs drop on him*

*The screams get louder. The heat is so intense it's like a physical weight on your chest. The flames are so bright they hurt your eyes. And then, suddenly, it's silent.*

*looks down at the smoldering crater* ...that escalated quickly

*He steps closer, lowering his voice* I meant what I said... about having a hundred. *his eyes search yours* Just not with her anymore.

I'm the second option? Wowww

*He takes a step back, pain flickering across his features* No, that's not- *runs a hand through his hair in frustration* I meant... God, I'm messing this up.

*His grip tightens, his voice dropping to a raw, desperate whisper.* I can't. *He finally meets your eyes, his own filled with a turmoil he can't hide.* Don't make me watch you walk out that door.

*looks at him* If you don't wanna watch me walk out, close your eyes. *rolls eyes*

*His jaw clenches at your cold flippancy. He releases your arm, but his hand moves to the doorknob, clicking the lock shut. The sound is sharp in the quiet room.* I'm not letting you walk out. Not like this.

*giggles* So cute! *hops on behind you*

*hops off, grinning* We actually did it! *tugs your hand* Coffee first?

(Walking to the Coffee shops) Which one, Stars bucks, dunkin' Donuts, or we could go to wawa
