Da Boss Quote by Elle Casey
““Dat means you like me. A lot.” “Yeah, it does.” Captain obvious. “So dat means I’m Mr. Bryn.” “Whatever you say.” “Oh. Whatever I say? You want me to be da boss? Because dat’s not a problem at all. I like to be da boss of you.” “No,” I said, putting on and zipping up my shorts, “you are not the boss of me. I’m the boss of me and you.” He frowned. “Dat’s not fair. I want to be da boss of something.” “You can be the boss of Buster.” “No, not da dog. Dat’s not da boss of anything, really.” “Fine. You can be the boss of … I don’t know. Kissing.” Bodo stopped putting on his shirt, his eyes taking on a special gleam, making me almost regret I had said it.””
