Bite Me_ A Love Story Part 25

And he's all, "I thought you loved Foo."

And I'm like, "I kind of do."

So then he's like, "I thought you loved Jody."

And I'm all, "I do. I'm polyamorous."

And he's like, "Now you want to f.u.c.k parrots?!"

And I was about to go off on him, but I saw he was grinning, so I just elbowed him in the ribs, like, you d.i.c.k, you d.i.c.k, as we watched the ship disappear into the fog outside the bridge. as we watched the ship disappear into the fog outside the bridge.

And he's like, "When do you think the Raven Raven will be back?" will be back?"

And I go, all scary voice, "Nevermore."

Then he looks at me, with a big smile, and he takes my hand. And I totally wanted to kiss him, with plenty of despair and tongue and whatnot. But then I would have had to slap him, so he didn't think that I was a s.l.u.t, since I'd only been dumped like hours before. But then I thought, he might slap me for the same reason, so instead of a kiss I decided to do a small celebratory booty dance of forbidden pa.s.sion, which made him grin like a big doof.

So we sort of stood there, holding hands, looking at where the ship used to be, realizing that the future was f.u.c.king ginormously huge. Like the abyss, only, you know, with better lighting.

And I'm all, "So what now, cornflakes?"

Then he's all, "I think I'll write a book."
