I like the thrill of the hunt of swiping and swiping, and always spending the night in a different girls bed. And I like that in the morning I can wake up put my pants back on and never come back. 

Hook up's are easy, painless, transactional. That was until her. She was different. Unlike the other girls I had "relationships" with; she was harder to get. She didn't fall for the same traps the other girls did. 

The priest was adorned in a white robe. Chairs are placed on both sides of the aisle. Flowers flutter in the wind as our families take their seats. A beautifully sculpted beard; with over-sized specs softly whispered 

"Take care of her"

beads of sweat slowly trickle down his brow. His heart skips a beat or two as he presents his daughter to me

as I am standing the silence; I remember our first date. I was fashionably late; a bottle of 1972 tightly wrapped in my hand, as I rang the door bell of her apartment. She wore a pale-green dress, with a gold necklace that her grandmother gave her before she died. I leaned in for the kiss; and smelt her perfume, Chanel Number five. 

She had a couple of glasses set out on the table; and Barry Manilow in the background on a dusty, old record player her ex gave her before he left. 

We drank and talked, and I didn't leave until two in the morning. That is when the first ember slowly burned to life.
