What is up, daddy gang?
It is your founding father, Alex Cooper.
With call her daddy.
I remember it like it was yesterday, September 24, 2017.
Everyone remembers the exact place that they were when they caught their significant other cheating.
I opened the iPad and I wanted to fucking barf.
I was sick to my stomach.
I felt so betrayed.
I was shocked, hurt, angry, disgusted, numba.
I felt crazy.
And I hate to admit, but I cried because I was the one who had spent the previous five, six, I don't even know fucking.
However long I had been dating, I was the one structuring romantic relationships so that I was in control.
And then this motherfucker comes and begs me to make it official.
Please be my girlfriend.
I love you so much.
Please, please suck my wiener.
I love you.
I want you.
No.
Yes.
