4:23pm"You're not succeeding."
"Well hello to you too princess."
"You're not succeeding."
"I'm doing great what about you?"
"You're not succeeding "
"Just dandy so how was your day?"
"You're not succeeding."
"Fine. I'm not succeeding in what?"
"Trying to make me forget."
"I'm still lost here ..."
"About what you were going to say to me before I had to cut the call short."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Cut the crap Colton, you know exactly what I'm talking about."
"... Why do you want to know so bad?"
"I don't know... I just want to, would you tell me?"
"... I-I like you."
"I like you too Chicken but I know that isn't what you said to me."
"Its nothing big princess, really."
"I still wanna know Chicken ... is wrong for me to know?"
"I'm just afraid-- you know what fuck it. I want you Asanda."
"Uh... what do you mean?"
"I want you to be mine. My girlfriend, and before you deny me, hear me out. You know that I like you and I know you like me too but life is too short to take anything for granted, what if I end up not waking up the next day? Or you not waking up the next day? We will forever remember what might have been and that could destroy either one of us that's why I want you and I want you now because I know that now you're alive and you're talking to me and not tomorrow where it is not guaranteed."
"Seven."
"What?"
"The amount of 'I's in your sentence. They are seven."
"Awesome that you know how many I's I put but did you hear what I said?"
"...I..I did"
"So what do you think?"
"Time-- I need time--"
"I might not have time dammit!"
"..."
"I mean, time is not--"
"What do you mean?"
"By what?"
"Saying that you don't have time?"
"...It doesn't mean anything Princess. It was just a slip of the tongue"
"..."
"What's holding you back Asanda? Please tell me, I need to know"
"I...can't... not yet."
"Please baby ... please...tell me."
"I--"
"Asanda do you trust me?"
"... of course I do."
"Then trust me with this ... please baby girl."
"... Fine... Fine, I'll tell you."
