I Want You Back

Hi, my name is Ben.

NATHAN: Any part of you that steps inside this dorm room will be cut off and fed to something hungry with sharp teeth.

I'm apologizing.

ME: Nathan, please--
NATHAN: Forget it, Ben. It's over.
ME: I know that. I just...I...
NATHAN: What?
ME: I miss sleeping next to you.
NATHAN: Do what you did at the party. Sleep between Carter and Eli. That should keep you warm.

He slammed the door in my face.

This was going to be trickier than I thought.

After the threeway, I realized something. There really isn't anything as valuable as an on-campus boyfriend. The drive back home every night is killing me, and even though being single again would mean sex with whomever I want, it's not like I couldn't have that and the boyfriend--as long as I'm more discreet.

But I have to get Nathan back. If not for the fact that I really do care about him, for the convenience.

ME: Fine, but don't forgive me.

Here comes the sap.

ME: But don't expect me to stop loving you.

I started to walk away, but stopped when I heard the door open.

Bingo.

NATHAN: Wait.

I turned around.

NATHAN: Did you just say you love me?
ME: Yeah, I did, and I do. I think I got scared and that's why...Why I did what I did. I've just never felt this way about anybody before and I wanted to fight it, but I just can't. But I guess that doesn't matter.

I started to walk away again.

NATHAN: Ben, would you just wait?

I can already see the little cherries lining up on the slot machine.

NATHAN: Maybe we do need to talk.

Jackpot.
