UNCHANGEABLE - FREENBECKY

the foundation

"don't tell me you got yourself locked out again?" asks namtan.

"no." freen chuckles. "i came here because i realised i don't have your number yet."

"wow. is freen sarocha asking for my number?"

"yes, i am. but aside from that, i have an important thing to tell you. i have a proposal to make."

namtan gets more shocked. "you're already proposing? that's so fast, freen!"

freen rolls her eyes. "c'mon. i have little time today. becky and emily will arrive in a few minutes."

"fine. such a killjoy," namtan snorts, opening her door wider. "come on in."

freen steps in. she immediately finds the kitten eating from its bowl. "hey there, mango!" she stoops down to observe. "having a meal, huh?"

"wow. i can't believe you find my pussy more interesting than me," says namtan, her voice in the kitchen area.

freen grimaces. "why do you keep calling it pussy instead of a cat or a kitten?"

"because i love how people get awkward whenever i say it. it's a hard habit to break now. been doing that for a very long time. deal with it." namtan reappears in the living room with refreshments in her hands. "drinks?"

"i'm surprised you have an orange juice aside from beer and water."

"i had to include that in my grocery list now for a very special guest that might visit me."

"i'm honoured."

"don't be. i just don't want your nurse killing me if ever i give you beer again."

"c'mon. she won't do that." freen plops down the couch beside namtan. "and she's not just a nurse. she's becky."

"becky. your ex. your nurse. the one you can't get over with. it's just one person. what's the difference?"

"whatever." freen sighs and rolls her eyes. she turns to face namtan. "anyway, as i've said, i came here to tell you something."

"yeah. about the proposal, right?"

"yes. the proposal. the thing is, the discussion we had last time lingered in my mind, and i know i had to do something about it."

"which topic in particular?"

"remember you mentioned how you've been seeing those homeless animals scavenging for food in the streets?" asks freen. "well, becky and emily drove me around town the other day, and i kind of have seen what you're talking about."

"what? the three of you went out?"

"yes. we had dinner together."
