Single AF! Single AF 4

He's embarrassing me in front of everyone...

Just do I'LL take the hint and end things!

It's just the sort of stupid plan Alex would come up with!

Kylie

Oh my God.

I walk over to the toilet seat and sit down.

I'm totally thrown off my game.

Danny is tense.

He's probably wondering if I'm goind to recognize him for what he is...

An imposter.

Danny

Listen Kylie, you're much better off without me.

Danny

I'm not mature enough for a relationship.

Danny

You deserve someone better.

I blink up at him.

Unsure of what to do.

Do I call him out??

Put an end to this whole charade??

The answer comes to me instantly.

Forget that!

They want to play games?

I'll play games.

I sigh loudly...

Mentally get myself into character.

Then I transfer my expression into one of sadness.

Kylie

I think I know about what bought this on, Alex.

Kylie

This is about what happened the other night...

Kylie

Isn't it?

There's a silence.

I can feel Danny's confusion.

He obviously has no idea what to say.

Danny

Umm...

Kylie

It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Kylie

Thete are pills you can take.

Kylie

Early-onset erectile dysfunction** isn't as rare as you think.

Danny's jaw drops open.

Danny

WHAT?

Kylie

And I'm sorry all th condoms I brought were too big.

Kylie

We can find your size!

Kylie

There has to be SOME company out there that makes them.

Danny's eyes are so wide...

I'm half expecting them to roll out to his head.

I can barely contain my laughter.

So I put my face in my hands to hide it.

Danny swallows loudly.

Then he clears his throat.

Danny

It's uh...not because of that stuff.

Danny

I swear, it's just because I'm not ready for a relationship.

His voice is rife with discomfort.

Danny

I think I should just go.

Danny

Okay? I'll leave the party.

Danny

I'm really and truly sorry about this.

Danny

But —

Kylie

No!

I stand up and start walking toward him.

Danny nearly falls into the shower trying to back away.

Kylie

Don't go, muffin top.

Kylie

We're not done talking about this.

I give him my most "passionate" stare.

And he withers under it.

Danny

There's nothing left to say.

Danny

My answer is uh...not going to change.

I pout.

Kylie

So you're really set on this then?

Danny

Y-yes.

Kylie

That's too bad.

Kylie

I really thought we were connecting, Alex.

Kylie

You know, emotionally.

I run a finger down the centre of his chest.

Danny watches it like it's on fire.

But when we both look up at the same time...

And our gazes catch...

An unexpected bolt of energy passes between us.

His eyes darken a bit..

And my body reacts.

I quickly pull my finger back.

Whao.

What was that?

** An erection involves the brain, nerves, hormones, muscles, and circulatory system. These systems work together to fill the erectile tissue in the ***** with blood. A man with erectile dysfunction (ED) has trouble getting or maintaining an erection for sexual intercourse.
