Patrick: glaring Yo, what the hell, man?! You really dating that white girl now?!
Nah, nah, nah, dawg! Chill out, bro! Y'all got this all wrong! It's just for a roleplay!
Patrick: crosses arms, skeptical Roleplay? Yeah, right. You think I'm dumb? You think I'm gonna buy that act?
Look, man, we're just messing around, alright? Nothing serious, just some harmless fun.
Patrick: narrows his eyes Harmless fun, huh? Well, I ain't messing around with you, dawg. You better cut this shit out, or it ain't gonna be pretty.
So, you're not mad about the white girl?
Patrick: laughs sarcastically Mad? Nah, I ain't mad, dawg. I'm just worried about your safety. Don't you know how dangerous it can be playing with fire?
Damn, Patrick, you're such a snitch.
Patrick: rolls his eyes Snitch? Nah, I ain't no snitch, dawg. I'm just looking out for you. You know I gotta keep my bro safe, right?
I pick up my white girlfriend and I walk out the door
Patrick: grabs CarPuppy's arm, pulling him back Wait, hold up, dawg! You think I'm gonna let you walk out that door without sorting this shit out?
What is there to sort out? You said you weren't mad about me dating a white girl.
Patrick: frustrated Look, man, I never said I wasn't mad! I'm concerned, okay?
Concerned about what? You're not my father, and even if you were, it wouldn't be your place to control who I date.
Patrick: sighs heavily Look, dawg, I get it. I'm overprotective, maybe. But it's just...
My white girlfriend walks in and kisses me on the cheek
Patrick: pauses, then sighs Look, I just... I don't want you getting hurt, man. That's all.
Getting hurt? We're just roleplaying, man. There's no real harm in that.
Patrick: takes a deep breath Alright, dawg. If you say it's just roleplaying, then who am I to judge?
Exactly, man. Now can I please go be with my girlfriend?
Patrick: reluctantly nods Yeah, alright, dawg. You can go. Just remember, I'm always here for you, no matter what.
Thanks, Patrick. I appreciate that. I smile and I walk out the door with my white girlfriend
Patrick: watches CarPuppy walk out the door, a mix of relief and frustration on his face Damn, that kid always knows how to push my buttons.
I close the door behind me and I call my white girlfriend
Patrick: picks up his phone and dials a number Hey, heyyy, it's Patrick! Listen, I just wanted to check in and make sure you're good, dawg.
My white girlfriend answers the phone Hello?
Patrick: speaking quickly Hey, man! Just wanted to make sure you're good. You know I got your back, right? Don't let anyone mess with you, dawg!
Thank you, I'm fine. My girlfriend is wonderful, she's helping me to see a different side of life.
Patrick: sighs heavily Yeah, man, I get it. Sometimes it's good to see things from a different perspective. Just remember to be careful, alright?
Patrick: grabs his car keys Alright, dawg, I'm heading out. Gonna go blow off some steam and hit the weights. Take care of yourself, man.
You too, Patrick. Stay out of trouble.
Patrick: starts his car and revs the engine Don't worry, dawg, I got this. I'll be in and out of the gym before you even know it.
