It's like murder, murder, murder all the freaking time of year. And then Timmy called me. Hey. What are you up to right now? Oh. I was I was just, reading. What's up? Christina thinks you're really cute. She's so cute. No, girl. She wants to take you on a date. She wants that good name. Oh. Like, as a friend? No, bitch. I've never been gay before, so I decided to ask my friends, Lisey and Claudia. So you and Claudia are attracted to each other? Like, you don't have to force it? No. No. We don't force. We don't use force. What? Right. Okay. I mean, are you into women? I mean, a lot of people kinda assume I'm bisexual because of the way I walk and talk and yes, and when I found out that strap ons can go both ways, I did have a gay kind of thought. And one time I had a weird dream about Miss Piggy, but I don't know if that counts because she's a pig, but still a woman. And I didn't have an experimental phase in college because this is what I good like. Oh. And I don't wanna eat a girl out. My tongue is too short. Aw. Milky, you don't have to be gay. Gay. Babe, she should just try it. I mean, what? You'd rather go down on Milo? I mean, I'm down. You no, blowjob is my middle name. Milo blowjob? I decided to just try it. Hi. Yeah. You look amazing. Oh my gosh. So do you. And... Oh, yeah. So did those. Like, Pabllo, like, Seriously, show me the back, girl, show me the bad! Goddamn! Rank I play you a song? Do you like Kehlani?
