Based on an Actual Asshole!

     I've never been a fan of group interactions, so I sit, alone. Taking a break from reading, I absorb the people and pace around me. There's a girl, not exactly attractive, just ordinary. The guy seems to have a slightly crazed look. He's the sadist, and she's the helpless prey.
     "You're so adorable." Forced compliment from the girl, hoping he would return one.
     "Why don't I just knock you up? If you let me sign over all the rights, so you don't come after me for child support, I will knock you up." He gauges her reaction.
     She shifts back in her seat almost imperceptibly. "And when would I see you then?" Slightly out of breath.
     "You wouldn't. I don't want the child a part of my world." He lashes her.
     "But I want to see you." She bargains.
     "Well, I want sex, not a relationship." Then he adds, "not right now."
     "You're ten years older than me."
     "Well, I've had bad experiences." He retorts.
     "So why do I have to pay for that?" Almost a whine.
     "I only want friends with benefits." He pauses, "besides I want someone steady in life as I am now." Another lash.
     "You can teach me," she beams.
     "Whatever."
