to be a beautiful woman who is sooo sleepy is actually a protest against hustle culture and girlboss feminism. so.

her skin’s too hot & her heart’s beating fast———is she sick? ( worse. she’s in love. )

i’m afraid of the way that you’d look at me if you knew.

⠀ she takes it hesitantly, visibly tired. “date” is a nice way of putting it. “ oh— you don’t have to. ” ⠀

⠀ ( for the better, honestly. god forbid she get hysterical over spaghetti or something ridiculous. ) “ i did— really, um, i did. surprisingly. would love to make it a habit. with you. ” ⠀

⠀ “ i don’t know. do i? ” ( brow raised. the car door closes way too loud in the already loud silence. ) ⠀

⠀ little do they know she is too— just, not in front of them. she hides; they don’t seem able to. “ not like i’ll be seeing you * that often. ” ⠀

⠀ “ hah. me too. what a pair. ” she’d k*ll herself if she didn’t live alone. wouldn’t be able to function with another person * that close at all times. ⠀

⠀ “ um… definitely. i don’t know when. i don’t go out much. ” her penthouse is to their left, far down the long hall. heart racing, sudden fear cramps her throat. “ but you have my number, so, 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆… ” ⠀

⠀ no we are the two cats. it’s cute. ⠀

gosh, i'm a little shy standing here in my nightgown, do you really have to put those tight handcuffs on?

⠀ OH no— no. don’t do that. ⠀

⠀ me too… but i couldn’t take care of it. i pet strays though. ⠀

⠀ you could … volunteer at an animal shelter? ⠀

⠀ oh— you’re corny, stop..,.,^#]?? ⠀

⠀ NO it’s okay i liked it i just didn’t show it. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ how the fuck do you just casually flirt with people … how do you not freeze up & start crying. ⠀
