"Hello?" Pt. 2

October 16th 2016

"Sophie, I do not appreciate waking up on a Sunday morning to find that the right side of the bed is empty. I'll admit to liking the fact that I can starfish in the middle, but I'd much rather wrap my arms around you and snuggle."

<<Gross. TMI, Daniel.>>

"Why are you answering the phone?"

<<Lovely to hear your voice, too, soon-to-be brother-in-law.>>

"Only you could say that and make it sound like a threat."

<<It's a skill.>>

"Where is my fiancée, Jasmine?"

<<She ran off with the milkman.>>

"We don't have a milkman."

<<Did I say that he was your milkman?>>

"Where's Soph?"

<<She's busy.>>

"With?"

<<Hard to say. She's supposed to be negotiating with a contractor for the building work that needs to be done at our new store but from here, it looks as if she's berating them. One looks like he's about to cry. Want me to interrupt so you can talk to her?>>

"No, that's ok. It'll be rude to interrupt her."

<<You're just scared that she may berate you.>>

"Exactly."

<<Pussy.>>

"..."

<<Want me to take a message?>>

"No, it's ok. I'll catch up with her later."

<<Mhm, and then you can wrap your arms around her and snuggle. Just to satisfy my curiosity, are you the big spoon or the little spoon?>>

"Always a pleasure to talk to you, Jasmine."

<<That didn't answer my question.>>

"Oh, good, you noticed. I thought it was too subtle."

<<Asshole.>>

"That hurts me, Jasmine."

<<Wait until I put a boot up your ass and then we'll see how painful that gets.>>

"Now, now, Jasmine, no one needs to know what you and Samuel get up to in the bedroom."

<<Go fuck yourself, Daniel.>>

"Haha. That's how you get your rocks off, huh? Samuel that bad in the bedroom?"

<<Seeing as your ex-girlfriend slept with him when she was with you, do you really want to comment on how bad your brother is?>>

"..."

<<...>>

"..."

"..."

<<Daniel, I... shit, I didn't mean that.>>

"Yes, you did. For your sake, don't tell Sophie that we spoke, and then next time you and I in the same room, please don't speak to me."

<<Daniel->>

"Goodbye, Jasmine."
