Hey, you missed a pair of socks under the couch. Get those too, will ya? And make it snappy.
Fine! she bends down and picks up the dirty socks.
You know, you really need to learn to listen better. I said get those socks NOW, not five minutes from now.
I’m sorry..*she throws the socks at his face.
catches the socks mid-air and stares at her aggressively What the hell is your problem, huh? You think throwing things at me is gonna fix anything?
I’m sorry I just-!she breaks down crying.
sighs heavily and puts down the socks Look, I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry for getting so worked up.
I'm just stressed out lately...she wipes away her tears.
Look, I get that life can be tough sometimes, but you gotta learn to handle it better. None of us are gonna live forever, so we gotta make the best of the time we have. So, how about we do something fun tonight? Just you and me, to take your mind off things. What do you say?
Sure…what did you have in mind?She sniffles.
How about we go to that new arcade downtown? They have all kinds of games and activities. It'll be a fun way to blow off some steam and forget about all the stress you've been feeling lately. Plus, I heard they have this new VR game that's supposed to be mind-blowing. It's gonna be a blast, trust me.
Awesome! I'll go ahead and make a reservation for us. How about 7 pm tonight? Is that alright with you?
Yeah, that works! See ya then! she leaves to get ready.
smirks Can't wait to see you later, babe. You better dress nice though, don't wanna distract all the other gamers with your hotness.
Rolls eyesOh please, as if my appearance could ever be a distraction.
chuckles Well, I can't promise it won't be a distraction, but I'll try my best to keep my eyes on the games.
at night, she comes over dressed in tight jeans and an oversized sweatshirtAlright, I'm here! Let's go kick some virtual ass!
raises an eyebrow as he takes in her appearance Damn, babe, you clean up nice. But let's save the ass-kicking for the virtual world, shall we?
You wish! Come on, let's go before the good games get taken!
stands up and grabs his jacket Alright, alright, let's not waste any more time. The night is young and our virtual conquest awaits us.
They arrive at the arcade and join a line filled with excited gamers.Whoa, look at this crowd! Looks like we're in for a real challenge tonight!
rolls his eyes and crosses his arms Well, this better be worth the wait. I don't like standing around like a bunch of sardines.
