Your Little Plaything? I'll Be Your Nightmare
"Please stop harassing me. The man I love is Dante. I'll only ever be with him."
As soon as the words left my mouth, I hurriedly handed the phone back, like it had burned me.

Then, he hung up. He didn't know that, in the split second before the call ended, I formed three silent words while looking at the phone—"I'll be waiting."
