Jackass.
ELI: Loooove you. What do you need?
What about a guy makes you attracted to them?
ELI: Oooh… I want to make a dick joke so bad.
How many guys just have their dick hanging out when you meet them?
The second I sent that question, I regretted it. He’d tell me, and I wouldn’t want to know.
Nevermind. Don’t answer that. I don’t want to know.
ELI: Lol. I won’t.
ELI: I’m a goner for a good smile. Weirdly, I also have a height thing—I like taller guys.
You’re 6’4”, Eli. Where are you finding guys taller than you?
ELI: Not TALLER. Just TALL. I’m a glorious beast of a man. My height is often unrivaled.
I scoffed, shaking my head. Yeah, that sounded aboutright for Elliot.
Your ego too.
ELI: Touché.
ELI: But his voice will seal the deal every time.
I have no idea what that means.
ELI: You ever have someone just open their mouth and you hear their voice and go damn?
Do you mean when they open their mouth and the stupid comes out? Because I’ve experienced that.
ELI: No, no. Hell, for a one-night stand, I can work with stupid. They make ball gags for a reason.
Why are we friends?
ELI: Because we both know too much at this point.
ELI: Why do you ask?
Because so often you say stupid shit like the ball gag thing and I just wonder about us.
ELI: Not that! We all know why you question our fabulous friendship. It takes a special breed of man to be my best friend, and you’ll always be it.
His saying that about me did something to me I couldn’t quite explain.
ELI: Why do you ask about what I find attractive in men?
It came up in a conversation between Eva and me—about us, not you. But then she said you owe her an answer because you bailed on her.
ELI: I DID NOT BAIL.
Don’t you all caps me, young man.
ELI: I have to make this up to her, don’t I?
