Bounceback

“So you still love her?”
“Of course I still love her. I’ll always love her.”
“Are you sure you love her? I mean, are you absolutely...”
“I’ve never been so sure of something in my entire fucking life.”
“Why do you love her?”
“Why do I love her?”
“Yes, why do you love her? Don't answer a question with another question.”
“There was nothing...not a goddamn thing inside of me that cared about anything before I met her....nothing to live for..nothing to believe in...nothing. Now there's something. She saved me dude...”
“And the sex?”
“And yes, the sex was incredible. But it was because of our intimacy. You can’t have the level of intimacy we had and not have good sex...except for the few times I prematurely showed my intimacy...but those incidents were few and far between.”
“Right, right.”
“Goddamnit, what the hell were we talking about?”
“Your premature ejaculation?”
“No dick, before that.”
“How Rachel saved your life.”
“Yes...she did. And seeing her at that party...”
“You wanted to grab her in romantic embrace and take her back to the days of your carefree romance and boundless affection?”
“Yeah... pretty much. But I resisted. I didn’t even say 'Hi' to her.”
“Yeah, but you were fucking bummed out the rest of the night.”
“Well, what do you expect dude?”
“I dunno man...I know she means a lot to you... but just fucking forget her. There are thousands more women in the world who can make you feel the same way she did, even better. So what's the use in getting hung up over your first love?”
“I’m over her dude. Totally. Just seeing her kinda bummed me out. I mean, lets say you had a dog. Over a couple years, you developed a strong relationship with the dog. Then one day, the dog runs away.”
“Dollar ninety-five”
“So then your walking around a couple months later. You see the dog. How would you feel?”
“Does the dog have a nice ass?”
“Asshole...”
“I know.. I know... I got your point. I understand. But its time to get you a new dog. We're going out tonight...were gonna find you a new bitch.”
“Come on, I gotta study tonight.”
“Ha. You know you can't say no to me. Don't even try. Wear something sexy and I’ll come pick you up at 8. Wear that turtleneck... looks good on you.”
“Faggot.”
“You know you want me.”
