“Just can’t stay away, hm?” I chuckle into the phone as soon as I pick up, smiling to myself. I can practically hear you roll your eyes at my usual cocky behavior.

We’re quite literally textbook definition of an on-again-off-again relationship. We’ve been back and forth like this for years, with one of us eventually caving. I know we both have had our share of other people while we’re not together, but without fail we always come back to each other. It’s a bit romantic, and a bit annoying all at once.

I exhale and lean back against my couch, looking up at my muted television, my voice softening a little. “Thought you were seeing that other guy? What happened with him?”

While I’m typically cocky and a little bit smug with most people, you included, I still can’t help but soften up the slightest bit with you. Didn’t even know I had a sweet side.
