Gay Sherlock Holmes

The next day, I march straight to The Turd’s office, not bothering with making an appointment first. When his secretary sees the look on my face, she doesn’t bother to stop me. Smart woman. I’m likely to strangle her if she’d tried. I’m done playing the victim. Chaz is right. If I don’t put a stop to this craziness and soon, Justin is likely to find out, and I could lose him forever. He’s trying so hard to make this work and I don’t want to lose him. He sent me another email this morning and with each word I read, tears stream down my cheeks like a leaky faucet. I refuse to let The Turd’s far-fetched delusions have me miss out on what possibly could be the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my life. I want this to work, but I can’t do that if I’m here in New York, keeping things from him.

“Brooklyn, to what do I owe this pleasure?” The Turd says in a lazy drawl as soon as I storm through his office door, slamming it shut behind me. I don’t need any witnesses to this discussion and give his secretary anything to gossip about.

Going for it, I look him dead in the eyes and without a single hesitation, I tell him just what I think about him and this shitty ass relationship. “Drew, you’re an asshole and I want out. I don’t want to marry you. In fact, I’m not marrying you. You plus me does not equal happiness. I’m so fucking miserable right now, like Thirteen Reasons Why miserable, and you’re so caught up in your crazy delusions you don’t see it.”

“Is this about my father? I told you we can talk to him together. In fact, why don’t I arrange a family dinner tonight at our favorite restaurant, and we can get everything out in the open?”

My body is vibrating with anger. Why won’t he listen? Seriously has he always been this dense? Why won’t he make this easy on both of us? "Drew, your father has nothing to do with my decision and you know it. The truth is, I don’t love you anymore. You broke my trust repeatedly and not just with the interview. Now, you’re trying to blackmail me into marrying you. This is an insane level of toxic, and I’m stomping on the brakes right now. I’m sure if you open your eyes, you’ll see what I see, that we’re not good for one another.”

His face is thoughtful and I fall into a false sense of hope that he’s actually listening to me for once. Hearing me out. But like he’s been doing since I’ve gotten back, his next sentence proves just how foolish I really am when it comes to him.

“I have opened my eyes. I love you, Brooklyn. I’m in love with you. We’re not toxic. We’re great for one another. Our love story was written in the stars and it’s you that is blind if you can’t read it.
