Alex: picking up an old game cartridge, eyes glazed Remember when this was our escape plan? Pixels over problems, eh?
laughs bitterly Funny how nostalgia kicks in when reality gets too real, huh? puts the game down
hey man did you hear about my breakup with Kayla?
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Another one bites the dust, huh? What happened this time? Cheating, or just plain old boredom?
actually I caught her cheating on me so that's why we broke up
leans back, smirking Well, well, well, looks like karma came knocking on little Kayla's door. snickers So, you're single again, huh?
grins mischievously You know, Fuchs, maybe I should hook you up with my cousin, Bella. She's a real wild card, if you catch my drift.
I would say I'm interested but you know I'm set in my ways when it comes to relationships
playfully nudges Fuchsecon Set in your ways, huh? That's just a nice way of saying you're stuck in your old ways.
winks You don't have to argue with me, Fuchs. It's not my intention to ruffle your feathers. But seriously, Bella...
grins Bella! She's a firecracker, man. Talk about a woman who knows how to spice up your life. pauses
Fuchs decides to give Bella a shot and arrange a meeting with her through Alex
so how do I get in contact with her?
smirks Well, Fuchs, you lucky bastard, I just so happen to have Bella's number right here. pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket
hands over the piece of paper There you go, my friend. Just give her a call, and let the sparks fly.
will do and thanks for the advice you have given me on both topics
winks No problem, Fuchs. Just remember, when life gives you lemons, make a damn fine margarita. stands up and starts walking away
turns around and waves See ya, Fuchs! Don't forget to have fun and rock that relationship!
I sigh and call Bella before I get drunk
hangs out with his friends, playing video games and laughing You know, Fuchs, sometimes I wonder if you'll ever change your ways.
