kiki
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE GIRLFRIEND TAZ

taz
this is delayed
i've been in tenerife for a week with zoe

emily
you did say that you were trying to be friends with her
it could have been platonic

taz
if it was platonic, i would have brought jay and bree

jacob
i'm cashing in my i told you so
i told you that you would probably end up getting back together with her

taz
telling me i told you so only works if i didn't agree with you

emily
so how's it going?
i know getting back with exes can be weird sometimes

taz
you know, i was actually kind of worried about that but it hasn't happened yet. it's been a good couple of months. maybe it's because we were friends first before we were ever together, idk

jacob
MONTHS?

kiki
wait what
i feel betrayed

taz
shit
i can't keep track of who knows what anymore

mackenyu
that is generally a side effect of not telling the truth

emily
i'm confused
please explain young taz

taz
i'm not that much younger than you

emily
EXPLANATION PLEASE CHILD

taz
it's a long story
but basically jay was being weird about the idea before anything had even happened so we were keeping it quiet for a bit. he ended up being fine with it, so there was no point and i feel like an idiot, but yeah that's why i didn't say anything

jacob
you could have told us, dude. we would have kept our mouths shut

taz
i know, but zoe and bree are like sisters. it didn't feel fair to ask her to not tell bree and then turn around and tell you guys about it

kiki
so are the rumours true that sneaking around is fun?

taz
it's fine. we weren't even really sneaking around for the first couple of weeks because we were just in her apartment most of the time, except for when i took her bungee jumping

mackenyu
kind of surprised you didn't try to convince her to jump out of a plane with you, to be honest

taz
that was the first date when we started dating the first time around

mackenyu
why are you like this

emily
so how long did you wait before you moved all your stuff into her place?

taz
a week

emily
why are you like this x2

taz
she offered

emily
i don't know if that makes it better or worse

kiki
so can i meet her now?

taz
not this again

kiki
you said you didn't want to make things weird with zoe by getting her to meet your friends
you're literally dating her now i wanna meet her

emily
can i meet her too?

jacob
if em and kiki are meeting her, i want to meet her

taz
hang on i never said yes

mackenyu
you know they're just going to bug you about it until you agree
there's not much point in trying to fight it

taz
i'll ask her, but i'm not making any promises
we still have another week in tenerife so she might be tired and might not be feeling up to meeting any new people

emily
well if you feel like having her in your house instead being in hers for once, i'll be in london next week for work

taz
that's an idea
i did ask her to move in with me but she hasn't even seen the house yet
might be worth making sure that she doesn't hate it

jacob
can't believe we left you to your own devices and you got back together with your ex, holed yourself up at her place for god knows how long, then asked her to move in with you

kiki
i hope jay is making fun of you for this
it seems like the kind of thing he would do

taz
he's actually the one who convinced me to ask her

mackenyu
how did he go from not wanting you to get back together with her to convincing you to ask her to move to an entirely different country for you?

taz
well it's more about her mental health than anything else. a lot's happened to her over the past few years and it's looking like maybe her moving away and getting a fresh start would be good for her

jacob
that was vague

taz
it's not my story to tell, sorry
i'll ask her about london in the morning and get back to you guys
