DISTRICT OF CUNTS

“ I love the guy but he’s got to stop getting into so    much trouble. He’s, like, forty something. I can’t keep    bailing him out, I’ve got my own shit to figure out. ”

ARMS THE RESTED ON SHOULDERS PLAY WITH HAIR , , her hips moving back and forth as they did a small two step in the living room ( clive was sleeping ) in his crib as they allowed the night to turn YOUNG ONCE MORE , , the oldies on the radio humming softy as they sway , , ❝ youre so handsome ❞ pink lips whisper - - coraline really did love curtis , , and in this moment her love could only grow more full , , so she holds him closer - gaze still on him as millions of THOUGHTS AND WORDS circle around before she sighs happily , , ❝ i love you … so much ❞ / / @strawpolls

Curtis didn’t know how to dance, not properly at least. The two figured out a rhythm together over the years that suited them best and they danced to it slowly. Work would drain his spirit every day, but at least he had Cori and Clive to come home to. Their little routine, their little home, and their little life. " I am in love with you and always will be, alright? I love this, I really do. You, me. US, I mean. ”

“ Nowadays, words are far sharper than knives and I’ve killed so many people doing what I thought was right for this country. For the bigger picture. And they don’t see it because this nation can’t accept anything from the other perspective. It feels awful either way, and I just happen to be on the side that’s supposed to have a steel heart. ”

“ ––– for what it’s worth , I still like you. Fuck it, I don’t care. I can step down and work on a low-key career managing campaigns or something. A job with little to no reputation. Then we can do whatever we want, wherever we want. ” 

“ We were young and stupid. Well, I was stupid. I thought it would have been weird having grown up with you. I thought it would have come between my friendship with Kelly and I couldn’t ruin that. I don’t know, I was just a kid that didn’t know what to do other than avoid the problem. Not that you’re a problem! You were a girl that liked me and I was just a scared dumb boy. It was bad timing. And there might have been something there. Might be something there. MAYBE.  ” 

don’t look at me

“You’re the most BORING person I’ve ever met -- you know that, right?”

Haven occupies the chair much in the same way a PILE of spaghetti might occupy a teacup saucer: awkwardly, ungracefully, and without any regard for what is and isn’t orthodox. She’s draped a leg over one arm of the chair, the other leg TUCKED underneath her while the rest of her body is supported by the other arm. It doesn’t look like a comfortable position but it would never compare to the discomfort of sitting with both feet on the floor, y’know, like a NORMAL person. In any case, she’s still focused on watching him fire off yet another Very Important Email™.

“Listen, you keep working like this, one day you’re gonna wind up old and DECREPIT and wondering why you spent all your time on the ‘rise and grind’ and not the ‘chill and unwind’.”

“ – Yeah, I get that a lot, ” he tells her, sifting through piles of unclaimed paperwork that he shuffles into folders into other folders and into a metal filing cabinet full of more folders. “ And it’s not going to get to me because I don’t mind it. There’s truth to it. Yes, what I do is boring and yes I might be boring but that’s because I have a very stable job. It literally has its roots in the American ground. ” He knows it won’t click in her head that maybe some people liked the daily routine of existence and payroll, but it didn’t hurt to try and make sense of it. Curt sends his very important email and pivots in his chair to face her.
