The Showdown

"Look, let's not make a scene okay?" he told her, urging her with a stretch of his hand to keep the tone low. "I've managed to keep a low profile these last few weeks. I don't want that to change now." He told her in a cool voice.

She hated that he was so calm. She hated that he thought that she was losing it and he was all in control.

"Make a scene?" She asked incredulously. "Wow. You really are full of it aren't you." She told him as she laughed.

The laugh did not feel genuine but she did not care one bit.

"Look, I…" he began to say but let out the shadow of a laugh.

She could not seem to understand his rationale for what he did. And maybe he did not have any. Maybe this was what he did. He probably got off on making women feel a type of way about him, then indulging them a little bit before he of course let them down in the way that he felt was the best way.
