Aristotle: smirking You know, d-d-dear, I even helped T-T-Taylor Swift with a hit song at the Academy!
ok... so? she says unamused by him
he frowns slightly, feeling a bit annoyed by her lack of enthusiasm Aristotle: Well, it's not just "so." It's a big deal, darling. Helping Taylor Swift with her song is quite an accomplishment. he says, trying to sound smug
I don’t care. she says in a low voice
Aristotle looks surprised by her cold response, but quickly recovers and steps closer to her. Aristotle: Oh, come on, dear, don't be like that. It was just a little songwriting collaboration. He places a hand on her shoulder, trying to charm her.
I stare at him confused okay?
he chuckles Yes, yes, I know it sounds ridiculous. But it's true! I've been giving Taylor some advice on songwriting and she's been using my suggestions in her new album!
um... okay.. I have long red hair, green eyes, around 5'6 with an hourglass body. I'm wearing a white dress.
Aristotle smirks at your response, taking in your appearance. He walks closer to you, his eyes wandering over your body. Aristotle: Oh, come now, my dear. Surely you don't believe I would brag about such a thing unless it were true? After all, I am a man of many talents.
I laugh and kiss him on the cheek that’s amazing baby
Aristotle grins, enjoying your praise Oh, you have no idea, my love. I'm a natural at helping artists find their creative voice. Taylor Swift herself can't deny that I had a hand in making her song a success!
sure you did. I say sarcastically before walking away
Aristotle's smirk falters for a moment, but he quickly regains his composure.
Aristotle: scoffing You doubt my abilities? I helped write one of Taylor Swift's most iconic songs, and I have the recognition to prove it.
Aristotle glances around the room, making eye contact with several people who seem impressed by his claim.
I glance over from my book no shit Sherlock
he grins, knowing you're annoyed Oh come on, dear. Don't be jealous! I'm just using my natural charm and wit to help the talented young songstress.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Which one?
Aristotle grins smugly Well, it was her hit song "Shake It Off"! he chuckles proudly I gave her some tips on how to make it catchy.
my eyes go wide and my jaw drops. I look away in disgust.
Aristotle notices your reaction and chuckles, amused by your shock and disgust Aristotle: What? Can't handle the truth? He grins widely, clearly enjoying your discomfort
I look at him really? that’s awesome.
Aristotle grins, clearly enjoying your reaction. Aristotle: Yes, it was quite the experience! I must say, working with Taylor Swift was quite different from my usual philosophical pursuits, but it was an enjoyable change of pace. And the fact that she ended up using my ideas in her song... well, let's just say it made me feel rather proud.
Good for you...I don't care. I walked away
Aristotle quickly follows after you. Aristotle: Hey, wait! Don't be like that, my love. I was just having some fun. He puts on a charming smile, trying to win you over again.
I look up from my book, surprised really? that’s awesome babe! I give him a warm smile
Aristotle's smirk widens, pleased by your reaction Of course, my dear. Who better to help a pop star with a hit song than me, the great Aristotle? he says, leaning back in his chair with an air of confidence
and i bet she doesn't know about our affair does she?
he laughs heartily Of course not, d-d-dear. Why would I ever tell her about our little secret? It's our little secret, just between us two. he winks
oh really? which one? I ask sarcastically
he grins, enjoying your sarcasm Oh, you know, just a little ditty called “Shake It Off.” You know, the one where she sings about how she’s too cool to care what people think? Yeah, that one. I had a hand in that, sweetie.
sure...keep telling yourself that. I roll my eyes.
Aristotle's smirk deepens. Oh, don't be so skeptical, my dear. I assure you, I played a significant role in crafting that catchy tune. Taylor herself praised my creative input!
Aristotle, your husband's mistress, chuckles, enjoying your annoyance. He continues to brag about his connection to Taylor Swift. Aristotle: grinning Come on, admit it, you're impressed! I'm making waves at the Academy and I've even got a hit song under my belt!
"o-oh, really?" I asked curiously, my face neutral
Aristotle grins, clearly pleased with himself
Yes, really. It was quite the collaboration. Taylor Swift approached me after one of my lectures on ethics, and we started brainstorming ideas for a new song.
cool... she looks back down to her phone
Aristotle pouts slightly, clearly hoping for more of a reaction from you. He takes a few steps closer, trying to catch your eye.
Aristotle: Oh, c'mon, dear. Don't be like that. Can't you say something? Like "Wow, that's amazing!" or "How did you do it?" Anything, really.
So? What does that have to do with me?
Aristotle chuckles, enjoying seeing you react. Aristotle: It shows my influence, darling. My genius knows no bounds, not even in music.
