What’s wrong? Why are you down there and not in the suite?

Me:

Because I can be.

Cabrón:

Mi alma, I’d prefer you go back upstairs.

Me:

And I’d prefer you leave me alone and forget you ever met me. We don’t always get what we want.

Cabrón:

I always get what I want.

I roll my eyes again. The man is insufferable.

Me:

What are you doing? Other than stalkingwomen?

Cabrón:

Women would suggest there is more than one. There is only you, mi alma. One woman who I’m keeping my eye on.

Me:

What did you do today?

Our conversations always start out with me telling him to fuck off, him not doing what I want, and then they always have a way of turning into something more real. I don’t hate it.Which I hate.

I’ve slept once since he’s been gone, once in an entire week. But he seems to always know when I’m bored, or when I just need something to occupy my mind. The few times I’ve tried to ignore his messages, one of his lackeys has turned up, holding out a phone to me with a pleading look on their face. Like their life depended on me taking that call.

Cabrón:

I bought a house. You’d like it.

Me:

Where is it?

Cabrón:

I’ll show you one day soon. What did you get up to today?

Me:

I baked a cake. You’ll love it. I put extra arsenic in the batter.

Cabrón:

I’d still eat it because you made it.

Me:

That’s really messed up, E.
