Hazel

*GIF* eating popcorn

Charlie

uh, yeah I guess? I don’t really notice? Or see how this has anything to do with you having an issue with him. He’s a really nice guy Millie, besides his brother, he’s probably one of the kindest guys in the league. So, what gives?

Great, of course he is.

Me

Hazel, remember that guy that was in there this morning when I swung by?

Hazel

*chokes on pretend popcorn* NO! It wasn’t!

Me

Oh, it was.

Charlie

I feel like I’m missing something… Video chat!

Me

I’m in the bathtub.

Charlie

We were roommates in college. I’ve seen it all, Millie.

I’m just about to send a text telling her Hazel hasn’t, when my phone rings requesting a video chat.

I sigh and gather as many bubbles as I can to cover my boobs before accepting the call.

“Ladies,” I say before I’m cut off by Charlie.

“Spill, woman, what happened at Hazel’s this morning?”

“Well, hello to you too,” I say, taking a sip of my wine.

Beep, beep, beepsounds from my phone making me look at Hazel’s half of the screen. “Hazel, are you actually making popcorn?” I ask and I see her pulling a bag out of the microwave.

“What? It sounded good after I sent that text.” She shrugs.

My stomach rumbles at the suggestion of food and I realize I haven’t eaten anything since this morning. I also realize I’m going to have to order in because I still haven’t gone grocery shopping since getting back into town.

“Are you going to answer my question?” Charlie asks, pouring her own glass of wine.

“Let me order dinner first. I still don’t have food in the apartment, and I haven’t eaten since Hazel’s.” Clicking over to my browser, I type in the name of my favorite Chinese place and order enough food to feed a family of four. I have about 20 more minutes of soaking time before my food should arrive.

Clicking back over to my video chat, I see both women staring at me, waiting for me to spill the tea.

“So where were we?” I ask innocently.

“You were going to tell Charlie about how you announced you have a shitty sex life while at the café to none other than Judd Davis.”
