oh?
yeah, this is what i learnt about you. there's more. i mean, i spend more than 10 hours a day with you. so it's obvious ik more. but what i learnt from the experience so far is that schedules are not all bad.
wow i never thought i'd live to see the day when you admitted it
yeah yeah at least i have the guts to own up
at first it was frustrating but i think we kinda found a common ground these days. you take breaks in between and that gives me space to shift your meetings around more comfortably if something comes up. and the breaks you take gives me time to focus on my part without any rush. the best thing about it are the days when the schedule goes according to the plan smoothly, without a speck of disruption. the satisfaction it gives me is like... better than any orgasm a man can give me.
are you sure?
about what? the orgasm?
yes
yeah, at least till now.
why?
are you interested in proving me wrong?
if you'll let me
TF!?
WHEN DID YOU BEGIN TO TALK LIKE THIS?
YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO GIVE THAT ANSWER
why not
BECAUSE I DIDN'T EXPECT IT
IT'S NOT THE JAI I KNOW
like i told you, you don't know a lot about me, astronaut
you only think you do and that's cute
WHO TF ARE YOU?
WHERE IS MY JAI?
right here, astronaut
I MEANT WHERE IS THE ONE-WORDED ASSHOLE WHO REFUSES TO GIVE ME ATTENTION FOR MORE THAN TEN MINUTES?
you must not know how to count then
ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH ME?
what if i am?
idk i think i'll hear you out
you flirting with me is a rare experience and it gives me a ton of ego boost
that's all this is to you?
an ego boost?
what? you want me to think you are actually interested in me?
lmao
jai?
hey don't seenzone me
hey
now you won't even read my messages?
ik you're an asshole but don't be an asshole now okay?
okay you can seenzone me. i give you permission but at least open my messages
did i say something wrong? or cross my line? i'm sorry.
okay i'm calling you
at least pick up?
i'm breaking my rules for you. i'm double texting you. i'm triple texting you. so just text me back goddamn it
okay i'm coming into your cabin
i'm busy
i'll talk to you later
oh
