Which is only going to lead to heartache and disappointment. It doesn’t matter how good he is with his tongue. At the end of the night, he fucked me and left, knowing full well who I was. I am not going to settle for a guy who hits it and quits it like that. He’s already shown me he can’t be trusted to stick around, and that’s a non-starter for me. I was taught never to settle for anything but the best, and well… a hit it and quit guy is settling.
Giving my head a sharp shake, I burrito myself in my covers and grab my phone. I should go onto that Cloak app. I’ve checked it out a few times, made a profile, had some pings, but haven’t really used it seriously yet. Now is the time. I need to find someone new so I stop thinking about that infuriating giant hunk sleeping out on the couch.
There’s gotta be someone else out there for me. Someone better. I start exploring through the app, feeling hopeful. Flipping through a few profiles, though, I get a sinking feeling deep in my stomach. Man… none of these guys are really standing out to me. Some of them are straight up creeps.
Hey there. Photographer, huh? Ever take spicy pics?
I could send you a few pics of this dick.
Step on my balls, Mommy?
Uhhhhh… gross. No thanks.
Suddenly, I come across a message that makes me pause.
GlideControlZ: I don’t normally chase people, but for you I’d put my crocs in sports mode.
GlideControlZ: Sorry, that was cheesy. I Googled pick up lines and that was my favorite
I smile and giggle. Yeah, it’s pretty cheesy, but also charming. Before I respond, I click on his username to go to his profile.
Username: GlideControlZ
Age: 28
Location: Nashville
Bio: Tennessee born and bred. Athletic and nerdy - let’s go for a run then play video games way past our bedtime.
Interests: Video Games, Sports, Dogs, Fishing, Hiking, Running, Documentaries, WOW
I grin. Cute! He’s in Nashville? Perfect! Twenty eight isn’t too much older than my own age, twenty-five. And he’s a runner?
That’s a really good start.
Sure, I’m not really a dog person, I think fishing is gross, documentaries are boring, hiking’s fine I guess, and I have no idea what WOW is, but we can’t have every single thing in common, right? How dull would that be?
Deciding to give him a shot, I send him a reply.
ClickTease: That’s a pretty good one, not gonna lie. Well done
Message sent, I switch to Insta to scroll through my FYP. Within minutes, though, I receive a reply.
GlideControlZ: Thank you, thank you very much. Now answer me this - would you rather be a reverse centaur or a reverse mermaid?
Laughing, I quickly type out my response.
ClickTease: Uhhhh… those both sound terrible, but I guess reverse mermaid. At least I could breathe underwater… I think?
GlideControlZ: Honestly I feel like that’s the only correct answer.
ClickTease: Yeah, being reverse centaur would just be horrifying. Would that include the front legs, do you think? Or just the head?
GlideControlZ: See, I’m not sure, and that’s a risk I’m just not willing to take.
ClickTease: Totally fair. Okay, how about this - would you rather have more time or more money?
GlideControlZ: Oooh, getting deep. All right, I see you. I’ll say more time - more time with friends and family. More time doing the things I love. More time traveling. I think time in general is more valuable than money.
