"i was fine before you came along. i will be fine after you too."

/raises an eyebrow - "......."

"what!"

"not sure how i feel about you labeling me as something that will pass."

"why! it's the truth."

"no, it's not."

"yes, it is. you will leave. they all did."

"i won't. i'm here to stay."

"you don't know that."

"and you do?"

"experience has taught ..."

"fuck experience."

"fuck you."

/smirks - "you have."

"get out."

"this is my house. seriously, yue. give me a little credit."

"i don't know what you mean."

"do you really see me as the kind of person who would leave at the first sign of trouble? "

"your reputation precedes you."

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"

"you're a player, wang hedi. you leave a trail of broken hearts wherever you go."

/scoffs -"you believe the tabloids? all the things they write about you is true too then?"

/sighs - "i've known you for what ... 4 years now? i have eyes, di. i know how charming and clingy you can be if you want to."

"oh we're throwing personal attacks now?"

"i just ..."

"you just what, yueyue, WHAT?!"

"you can't deny you were a player."

"so? that's all in the past. have i given you any reason not to trust me in the past 5 months?"

"a leopard can't change its spots."

"what is this? the fucking national geographic? i am a person, yue. with feelings, i may add. so don't go making me out as some animal with no self control."

"i just don't think we're gonna work out."

"because i was a player? who has been nothing but honest and truthful for the past 5 months that we've been dating?"

author's note:

this one almost got lost in re-writing hell. i had another version of this, a more serious once. one that is a real argument between two people trying to navigate a new relationship with the added baggage of past relationship and hurt. but it became a little too personal and i didn't have it in me to finish so in the end that version got abandoned and this version got posted due to a hangover 🙈

i told incrrctmtrgrdn that i would delete the post on twitter if it got 168 likes. it never did. so it stayed. i'm kinda glad i decided to publish it. fierce didi is kinda hot, don't you think?
