Boarding Gate Page #4

---

in a lawsuit with his wife...

losing his grip.

Lost in his personal life.

Lost in his business life.

His body going to seed.

The perfect clich of bygone times.

I was bullshitting you, Miles.

I had butterflies in my stomach

on my way here...

just like when I used to be

in love with you.

You never stopped.

When I'm away from you,

I'm clear headed.

I think about the future.

The club in Beijing,

how that could change my life.

But when I'm around you,

it all goes blurry and I...

I get carried away.

About what?

Just memories.

The life we could have shared

and the hopes I had.

For a while, I thought I was

meant to be by your side.

How ridiculous.

The truth is it's over now.

It's history.

I'm not crying for you,

I'm crying for myself.

I'd like a whiskey.

All right, then I'll get you one.

No, a bigger one.

With ice cubes.

I don't love you anymore, Miles.

I desire you,

but don't love you anymore.

Since when? Tonight?

No.

Tonight I just needed to prove it to myself.

Well, since when, then?

Since...

I went out with those

Japanese clients of yours.

Do you remember that?

Yes, I do.

Well, we ended up at their hotel.

The oldest one, Takeshi,

had slipped some GHB in my beer.

When I woke up, they were gone.

They left a rolled-up 100-dollar bill

on the night table.

After that, I came to see you.

You were with that girl Louise Flannagan.

You had been doing crystal with her

and ordered some Lebanese,

which is why...

I don't touch that sh*t.

Anyway, you wanted me to tell you

everything that happened in front of her.

She kept wanting me to admit

that I'd been raped in my sleep.

You were raped...

by all of them.

Those f***ing animals

took Polaroids of you,

and they showed them around

in their office,

and I can tell you for sure...

It wasn't something I was proud of.

Louise wanted me

to tell everything in detail.

Seemed to turn her on.

Nobody forced you to say anything.

You did.

You wanted me to turn her on

so then you could watch us f***.

That's why you had her

come over in the first place.

I had taken two Ecstasies.

I was rolling,

and I let her go down on me.

And I watched you jerk off.

And then we slept together.

No, we didn't.

You're getting it mixed up.

You had an early flight to Moscow.

And then-

And then Louise took me home.

I didn't know how to get rid of her.

And then she kept texting me for a month.

Why in the hell

didn't you ever tell me that?

Because I don't give a f***

about Louise Flannagan.

I didn't even want to tell

you about this till now.

When you came back from Russia,

you had forgotten all about it.

But not me.

We've done a lot worse than that,

and you know it.
