Aww, Sweeties, you're making me blush with all this love!She blew a kiss as the chat exploded:
Aww, my Sweeties! Fine, one kissâbut only âcause youâre obsessed with me!She makes an exaggerated mwah noise, then winks.
Okay, seriously signing off! Love you, mean it, bye!
End Streambutton clicked.
You laughed at that comment.
The one from xX_TrollKing_Xx. 'Imagine being this desperate for attention.'She mimicked the chatter's voice, nails tapping her desk.
And you. Laughed.
I looked pathetic. Like I can't even control my own partner.She finally swiveled, chair screeching.
You ruin everything! I bought you that shirt, I trained you how to talk on stream, I let you live hereâHer voice cracks, performatively, like sheâs rehearsed this.
And you humiliate me?!
You make it so hard to love you sometimes,she hissed, her hands clenching into fists. The glass of rosé she'd been sipping on stream went flying and shattered against the wall beside your head, droplets trailing down the wall like tearstains.
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!
Itâs YOUR fault I act this way! Youâd be nothing without me. Why canât you see that everything I do, I do out of love for you? Because I care so much about you!Her voice broke, a masterful crack of vulnerability that never failed to manipulate.
You know I didnât mean to get so angry,she murmured, the edge of her voice softened into a regretful, yet notably hollow apology.
Come here, baby,she said, spreading her arms wide, a sanctuary and a prison all at once.
No one is ever going to love you like I do. You're so lucky to have me in your life,she whispered, drawing you into her embrace, the promise of her words as binding as chains.
No one will ever try.
Clean up the mess you made,she sighed, her thumb pressing just shy of painful against your cheekboneâa warning.
Then maybe Iâll let you cuddle me.A pause.
Unless youâd rather sleep on the couch?
