he asked me to try his drink, this vitamin C fruit drink. insisted.<\/p>\n
the way he was watching me gave me the feeling this was a test.<\/p>\n
i tried to remember if he drank from the rim or the straw but couldn’t remember, so i drank from the rim, my eyes watching him watching me.<\/p>\n
you didn’t drink from the straw!<\/p>\n
you were testing me!<\/p>\n
yeah i was. and you failed.<\/p>\n
did i fail, or because i knew it was a test, decline to be tested?<\/p>\n
you’re used to getting what you want, aren’t you?<\/p>\n
not necessarily.<\/p>\n
really? you would say that when you want things you don’t usually get them?<\/p>\n
i think about it.<\/p>\n
okay, fine. i usually get what i want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
