Three months have passed and there were only two weeks until Christmas. Justin hadn´t paid a dime in rent. He was eating a week´s worth of groceries in two or three days. Suzy was tired of him. Justin was getting restless as well. He could tell Suzy wasn´t buying what he was selling.
Suzy, on one hand, was proud of herself. In similar situations she would already have completely fallen for Justin. She would have already have lost a lot more money than just rent and groceries. Her heart and finances were still intact.
Justin, on the other hand, was wildly disappointed in himself. In similar situations, he would have had the woman, similar to Suzy, eating out of the palm of his hand. Room, board and sex weren´t enough to satisfy him. He wasn´t aborting this mission until he had more to show for the past three months.
Both parties were plotting. Suzy wanted to evict Justin and Justin wanted extract resources from Suzy. In the meantime, both maintained the façade that everything was in order.
On a warm Saturday afternoon, Suzy went to have a coffee with Amanda.
“Say it” Suzy said.
“Say what?” Amanda asked.
“I told you so” Suzy answered.
“Do I need to?” Amanda said.
“No. I saw it coming. I saw it a mile away. I saw it happening in real time and yet I was unable to stop myself. It felt as if I were floating in a somewhat bad dream, coming closer and closer to reality the more timed passed” Suzy looked down. “I´m not even upset that this happened. I am upset that I let this happen. I´m pathet…”
“Ok, girl, beating yourself up isn´t going to help anything. Let´s find a solution” Amanda said. She leaned over and comforted the sobbing Suzy.

“U gotta bounce soon…before she bounce yo ass” –Sean
“Not B4 I get mine” –Justin

You have a knack to get into the heads of the seediest characters!
I often wonder what that says about me 🧐
It probably says quite a bit! I “occasionally” kill a character off. That might say something too…
Justin’s a low-life. Suzy is a weak pawn. Looking forward to the chess match outcome.
You´ve pegged them both! The chess match has played out. Who will be the victor? You shall see!!!! Thanks for reading Eric!!!!!
