âYouâve reached Sage from You Beat It, We Spit It. First, letâs start with your name.â I answer the phone as I pop a piece of popcorn in my mouth and sit on my couch. I took the week off work at the bar, not because I wanted to, but because I have been sick. Stupid flu. Though, I probably needed the time off anyway to regroup and recover.
âSageâ¦â
I know that voice straight awayâitâs easy for me to recognize being around it so much. Iâm sure I could pick it out in a crowd, no matter what. Shivers rack my body when he speaks again. âIâve missed you.â
âHave you, though?â
âI have,â he replies.
âYou do know when you call now that you only ask me questions. You donât call to listen to me anymore,â I state.
âThatâs because I get enjoyment from your company. All your company.â After a moment, he adds, âYou sound off.â
âI am off. Iâm eating popcorn and watching horror movies. Itâs really putting me off.â
âOf what?â
âMen,â I reply, smiling to myself.
âI hope not this one.â
My smile drops.
I hate that I like hearing his voice.
I hate it a lot.
This man tried to suffocate me.
Fuck me to death.
I mean, come on?
My childhood really messed me up.
âI called to tell you this will be the last time we talk.â
âWhy?â
âItâs not you I want.â
My mouth opens in shock. What?
âI told you before that I met someone.â
âYes, I remember.â
âWell, Iâm at her door right now, and I hope to God she will let me in.â My heart rate picks up. Getting up off the couch, I drop the popcorn on the floor and almost drop my phone too. âBut I had to tell you first. I had to tell you this is it.â
âOkayâ¦â
âGoodnight, Sage.â
And then the line goes dead, and a knock sounds on my door. I freeze, thinking if I stay quiet heâll go away, but then he knocks again. And again.
âYour lights are on, Alaska, and I can see you standing there.â
Right, of course, if I can see the outline of his head through the door, it means he can see me too.
âFuck off,â I shout.
âCome out and speak to me.â
âNo.â
âYou canât still be mad.â
âOh, Iâm fucking livid,â I yell. âI warned you what would happen if I saw you again.â
âTechnically, you canât see me, just the outline,â he says, being a smartass. âSo no burning anything,â he adds.
âYou can leave now.â I walk back to my couch and sit down.
âAlaska.â He says my name again, and it only makes me angrier. I pick up my glass and throw it at the door. It smashes all over my tile floor, and I cuss because itâs me who is going to have to clean that up when technically, itâs his fault for being an ass.
Heâs such a fuckhead.
With a great cock.
And a great mouth.
