he leaned over to hallie and said

she leaned away smiled

                             You’re kiddin’.

No I wanted to say so I didnt take you aback

We’ve been dating long enoughas a matter of fact I’m a little surprised you said anything. You usually like catching me with my pants down with everyone else.

     I love you when youre pants are down

Oh. How cute are you?

I warm you I like to think like you warm the cock of my heart

Cockles. 

           That’s cockles.

But I have only one Arya tryin to tell me something

amused gently shook her headrolled her eyes

                                             You’re incorrigible.

I do my damnedest

                     Though you do you heat the cockles of my heart   Too

Are you having a party just between yourselves?

she lookedup at Paul

                        Ohno . . definitely ohno.  Just you wait.

                                                               he stood

they just looked at him  stonefaced they knew him better than that

he looked down into hallies beautiful face 

                                            Well then baby  youll please excuse me

walking away he asked a waitress if she could direct him to the restroom

                                                                              I need to rest

. . . No no  no

But she’s just right for me.

he laughed

              Those are the lyrics

I know, I know.  he smilednodded   guy had a great sense of humour

But Christ Mark Youre not kiddin

I wouldn’t kid about that.

   No I suppose you woudnt

Come on man, you’ve met a couple of my girlfriends.

I thought they were girl friends

No. Girlfriends.  They were my girlfriends I introduced you to them as such.

Yadid Youll have to excuse me 

                                 Youre a goodlookin guy  I made an assumption youd pursue goodlookin women

No.  Goodlooking women know they are, and that’s an impediment.  You have to admit that my girlfriends, facially, were attractive.

Attractive yes  Save for the doublechin

                                         But attractive   Ill give you that

And they were sweetthey certainly liked you.

Thank you I enjoyed themthey were a lot of fun   Then they were gone

Yeah. My relationships don’t last longdon’t withstand the test of time.

Time

      Correct me if Im wrong  inside six wee . .

. . If that. 

           Like, I imagine, like all women, when they recognised they’re being used that cools their jets.

But nothing you said

No. Nothing I said. 

                     I treat them like queenslike . goddesses.  But the wheels come off.

   Ever fall in love

I don’t know if I have that in me.

                                       Asya know.

that was sobering

he knew

         Mark had been a runner  heroin  made good money

hurt himself

              his fiancée stepped up  ran for him

developed a taste

overdosed

   broke his heart
