" I should have stuck to my gut instinct and said no to meeting you." Look, I'm sorry. I was held up at work that's why I was late. I did try to call ...ou."I took out my phone and stared at it, the battery had died. I looked up at him, he was already staring at me."So do you still blame me?" He asked.I paused for a bit. "No, I'm sorry..." Don't be, I'm sorry. I know how much this meant to you and I'll make up for it."---Everything was just like it was when I left it. It still felt and smelt like. I leaned back in my seat. I crunched my popcorn until my saliva turned it to slush. I wanted my Kia. The one without the braces. I wanted to feel liked. I couldn’t even hold Kia’s hand as that was her popcorn hand. My cock had expectations. If I was in the box I could just go with a different girl. Xiomara had looked so scared. She would’ve let me hold her hand.I guess X was going to be first. I had been thinking of Kia but I was unhappy and that made me kick her down the line. Second last.

" Lindsey broke off in mid sentence and started laughing quietly to herself."What's so funny?" I asked."I was just thinking that it was Rachael's pregnancy that started everything off, wasn't it. If she hadn't been pregnant, then I'd have been at home that night, wouldn't I?" Lindsey kissed me. "Have you ever wondered where we'd have been now, if I had been home that evening, Mack?" I'm not with you, Lindsey; I suppose we would have been married a couple of years ago." You think. I'm not so.
