That Thing Between Eli and Gwen

Dear Boyfriend,

Calling your girlfriend at midnight to have phone sex was….is…urgh! I don’t know whether to yell at you for making me miss you more, for making me want to kiss you and make love to you and fuck you, or thank you for saying everything you said. See, it’s morning here and my mind is still reeling.

I don’t know what to type. My mind is blank. When I can think of words again I’ll call, Your very frustrated girlfriend

P.S. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but your phone voice is sinful.

P.P.S. I love you more than the British love their tea.

Dear Girlfriend,

I’m glad it was as good for you as it was for me. Yes, there will be Facetime, I need to see your face as you get off on my voice. And don’t lie, your mind isn’t blank, it’s just filled with all the things you want me to do to you. After all, what did you call me last night between moans?

If you only knew how hard I was for you,

Your Sexy Pussy Fucker

P.S. I’m forever going to use that name against you.

P.P.S. You’ve told me nothing about Seoul or South Korea, our night together really has you dazed. Don’t forget you have a job you need to finish so you can do more than just Facetime.

P.P.P.S. I love you more than Peter Pan loves Neverland.

Dear Sexy Pussy Fucker,

Please note that I was not in the correct frame of mind and should not be held accountable for anything I said, especially when you’re talking about tying me to a bedpost and…

Anyway, sorry I forgot, Seoul is beautiful and the food is AMAZING. Tell Ian I will never forgive him for not introducing Buldak into my life earlier.

Love,

Your Cherry On Top

P.S. I was not the only one giving out names.

P.P.S. You haven’t told me much about what has been going on back home. How is Sophia?

P.P.P.S. I love you more than a dominatrix loves her whips.

Dear Cherry On Top,

I’m thankful that I met you. I’m thankful that not only did I fall for you, but you fell for me too. I’m thankful that you’re completely different from me because you make me see the world in a whole new way. I’m thankful you’re alive because it makes me feel alive too.

Sophia is growing by the day. My mother says she has my father’s eyes. I never realized I was missing so much until you both were in front of me. Sometimes I get your messages while she’s over and for the rest of the day nothing can bring me down. I feel blessed that you both are in my life…so blessed in fact that part of me feels guilty for those who have lost so much. Toby has gotten better, but not much. He’s lost his company, but luckily he’s got a good amount of wealth built up. He’s moved out of the city and now lives in the Hamptons where he spends most of his time fishing. When I visit we don’t talk much, just sit outside in the cold. I understood he was hurting, but it never really hit me until I realized how badly I love you and Sophia. If I lost either of you I don’t know how I would be even able to fish.

Anyway, be safe. All right…really.

Eli

P.S. I love you more than fish love water.

You. Eli.

When I thought my life was over, when I couldn’t laugh or sleep or even focus on the people around me, you helped to bring me back.

I’m thankful your brother punched knives, forcing us to go to the hospital. I’m thankful for all of our fights and drunken rants.

If I could go back, I wouldn’t change anything. You were and are my second chance.

I only hope that one day Toby gets that second chance at love too.

If you’re safe, I’m safe.

Your Guinevere

P.S. I love you more than Cinderella loved Prince Charming.

Your Eli.

P.S. I love you more than Romeo loved Juliet.
