I had been leaving you confused with the weird shit I said left right and centre. I don't think you knew which way was up with me. I liked it that way. I liked being the mystery.

Too bad I'm a fucking open book once you get me talking.

"What was that supposed to mean?"

"Wouldn't you like to know ;)"

"Yes that's why I asked XD"

"Sounds like a you problem"

"Mel! Tell her to stop being mean to me!"

You need a diaper with all that whining, baby?

This was the build up to Melanie's House warming. Do you remember that party. I bet you do. I like to think of that night as the catalyst for all this. The turning point if you will.

I had already decided that was when I would make my move, trade rooks, let my queen go in for the kill. Little did I know that you also seemed to have decided to go all in, pun intended.

Chess and poker you and I. Always.

This was all premeditated.

I don't know how much you knew, however. I like to think you went into that party blind. I like to think you went in thinking nothing of it. I like to think I caught you off guard.
And maybe you were blind, you almost didn't come, but it was foolish to think you didn't have a game plan.

This was all premeditated

But you did come. From the moment you stepped through the gate, my plan started falling apart. The moment you stepped into that party, you claimed me as yours.

It was little things. Your place was next to me and my place was next to you. I wonder now what your plan was. Of course you wouldn't walk in there with your mind empty.

My plan was working but it seemed like it was working on your terms.

This was all premeditated.

All of it.

Well..

Almost all of it.

I didn't expect the escalation to occur as it did but damn I definitely was not complaining.
