"i can't believe you kicked me out" gus said. we sat up in bed, just close enough my thigh touched his. "well believe it" i told him. "i don't get kicked out" he argued. "well, you did" i reminded him.
"am i gonna get kicked out again?" he asked. "i don't know. isn't that kinda what no strings means?" i asked. he sighed. "yeah i guess" he sounded disappointed.
"why do you wanna stay anyways?" i asked. "i don't actually know. you forgot my name and everything" he said. "yeah i did" i chuckled. "it's funny to you kalani?" he asked. "kind of" i said. "you're lucky you're hot" he told me. "oh you think i'm hot?" i laughed. "well i typically don't sleep with ugly people" he said. "touché touché" i sighed.
"so can i stay?" he asked. "i mean, if you really want to. don't think it means anything though" i agreed. "no strings" he said. "no strings" i said a little more firmly. "who's that guy anyways?" he asked. "what guy?" i asked, playing dumb. "the one from the club. the one you're jealous of" he said. "right" i sighed. "calvin" i told him. "sounds like a dogs name. and who is calvin?" he asked. "a guy" i said.
"stop being so damn stubborn, give me something" he begged. "he's my not ex. we were talking , then he likes to adopt all the stray bitches on a night out. we're no longer talking" i simplified it for him. "you wanna know who the girl he was kissing was?" gus asked. "yes" i said, giving in.
"hailey" he said. "who's hailey?" i asked, "wait" i caught him, "don't try and beat me at my own game" i told him. "hailey's my ex" he told me. "oh rough" i said. "so i know how you feel", he said "if you wanted to talk about it" he added. "sounds like a string" i reminded him "you already know too much about me" i said.
"i know literally nothing about you" he said, "too much" i told him. "we can have a conversation, doesn't mean we have to get married" he sounded a little annoyed. "but if there's no strings why do you need to know things about me?" i asked. "because i'm a human with natural curiosity" he said. "you know what killed the cat" i told him, getting up out of bed.
"where are you going?" he asked. "wouldn't you like to know" i said. "you can't just leave me alone here" he said. "you're so right, i'm not" i told him, pointing to the bathroom "showering" i told him. "oh. can i be here when you get back?" he asked. "i suppose" i sighed.
this guy was a little cheery for me. i have no choice but to be sympathetic towards him though, the whole calvin and hailey thing. i don't need him to be a friend, so he should stop trying.

i walked into my room with my towel wrapped around me. "oh do you want me to step out?" gus asked. "why are you acting like you haven't seen me naked twice already?" i asked him. "fair enough" he said. i got dressed into something comfortable for the day.
"i'm not kicking you out, by i do have a doctors appointment in an hour and a half" i told him. "oh, okay i can get going. what are you going for?" he asked.
"why should i tell you?" i asked him "oh sorry" he shied away. "it's nothing really though" i told him. that was a lie. "oh, that's good then" he said.
"i'll get going then" he suggested. "see you" i said. "so we'll see each other again?" he asked. "don't get too excited" i said.
