so i said
to her i said
Is this it? Does the story end there?
“No, I am thinking it has the makings of a novel.”
ok, but you already blew your wad
“What do you mean?” she asked.
they had sex on the first meeting
i don’t even know who they are
or why they are attracted to each other
or why i should be attracted to either one
ya gotta build character. depth
create tension. vulnerability
allow wonder
space
gaps
let them go crazy
let them be quiet
make it so when i am done reading
i would fuck either one of them
the moment that we met
"Dude. Aren't you listening?"
