Elfonashelf, pleaseeeeeee let them be doing something so indecent that it gets them kicked off the naughty list and into the not even on your death bed can you apply to get coal column.

Movement finally begins in the distance; however, I instantly find myself wishing it didn’t.

Wishing time would actually freeze.

Hold completely still.

Give me one more second to appreciate what we have versus what I’m afraid I’m about to lose.

Brad’s menacingly slow stroll provides more than enough time for me to drink in the walking, talking, stalking, nightmare that he is in his fullest form.

God, I’d almost forgotten what he looks like.

How painfully tight his yellow beige skin is from being nipped and tucked and picked and plucked just like his mother.

His mother who never misses a chance to dote on the perfection she created.

Nurtured.

Built.

Molded into the manshewanted.

Had to have.

I sneer at the oversized forehead that he attempts to distract a person from with the way he swoops his bright blond hair to the right, another feature she passed along since his father is a dark brunette.

She also gave him his long, goose style neck and slim yet solid frame.

For the expense report?

He doesn’t look like much to fear from a glance.

Actually, he looks exactly like the opposite.

Like he’s here torescueyou.

Save you from someone.

Everyone.

Maybe even from yourself.

Like he’s dropping everything in the world to put you on a pedestal and treasure you until your dying day.

Except…if you stare into his soulless blue eyes, you’ll seehe’sthe one that wants to be responsible for when that day arrives.

And if you keep peering, you’ll see that’s not a pedestal, but a prison.

That he’s not your salvation.

He’s your undoing.

The devil in a pinstripe shirt and wingtip shoes who garnishes his Manhattans with cherries soaked in your menstrual blood.

He always said that was when I tasted the most “like his”.

“Bunnnnnyyyyyyyy,” he creepily calls out prior to letting an equally unsettling smirk slide onto his face.“Sweeeeet Peeeeeaaaaa…”
