And I Can Be Cruel, Just Like You

Where better to start a story of such an uplifting and empowering love but the beginning? Our misguided couple's journey started in the midst of a storm-to-be, with an ever-so-kind helping hand and a less-than-willing receiver. Shall we begin?

June 28th The beating of Mikey's heart was easy to hear, even through layers upon layers of flesh and fabric. To say he was nervous was an understatement as he approached the counter with his small bag of over-priced Cheetos and an Arizona ice tea with ginseng and honey. He couldn't remember how it tasted, and only picked it up because it had pretty cherry blossoms on the can.

You see, Mikey was very shy. He always had a difficult time with cashiers and their intimidating glares. "Just give me the fucking cash, you know how much it cost." Screamed the demeanor of the 30-something employee of the knock-off 7/11 convenience store.

"That'll be 1.46" said the cashier. And with that, 2 wrinkled dollars were meekly offered up onto the counter, change was made and Mikey was on his way, without his tea and chips, of course. So, he had to take the walk of shame back into the store to pick up the absent-mindedly left behind items. Only then did he leave the store to find himself stuck in a random Summer storm. Knowing his own luck, he didn't even have to check his pockets to see if he'd grabbed his phone on the way out, nope, empty handed as always. 'Walking isn't option', he thought. 'This boy is NOT going to get soaked from head to toe today.'

So, he waited, and waited. Until a guy pulled up in a busted ass convertible with the top down. 'In a strorm? Really?' thought Mikey. He looked the guy over, he was fucking drenched.

"You gonna stand there, or are you going to help me get the top down?" The man shouted. Mikey blinked, and blinked. Was he serious, did he really think Mikey wished to get soaked to help someone he didn't even know? Maybe he could tell Mikey was an absolute push-over and that saying no was, admittedly, one of his weaknesses.

"Uh, okay." Mikey replied, and with that, he unintentionally put his love story in the works. The deed was done and there was no going back. Love was on its merry way.

Just out of curiosity do you visit this site on your phones or computers because I always use my phone but I kinda feel like the only one.
