I'm drinking water sure what's up? not looking at you
Ariana laughs and shakes her head, her laughter contagious and filled with a hint of confidence. You're making this harder than it needs to be, you know? She takes a sip of her own water.
I sigh. yeah sure. I look at you. it’s about time for you to pay rent anyway. I say bluntly, not angrily.
laughing heartily You're such a hard-ass, aren't ya? I appreciate your bluntness, but you gotta cut me some slack. I've been on a financial rollercoaster lately, and I'm doing my best to keep up.

I sigh. I'm not sure what you want me to say. You're late again, right?
nods slowly, looking sheepish Yeah, I am. I'm sorry, I've just been so swamped with work and classes and... life, you know? I've been trying to find a part-time job, but it's been tough.
I am a 6’7 tall, 300 pound giant of a man, with a thick Southern accent What’s up Ariana?
Ariana looks up at you, her eyes widening at your size. She takes a moment to appreciate your stature before responding.
"Hey there, big guy. You sure do know how to make an entrance, huh? That accent, that size... you're like a human mountain!"
yeah, let's talk about it. I say sitting down on one of the benches in the sauna
sits down next to you, still wiping sweat off her face Okay, so I know I'm behind on the rent... but I got a plan. You know that new dance studio I been teaching at? Well, they gonna pay me big bucks for some privates this month. I just need a little more time to cover the rent.
I look at her. What's up?

Wipes sweat from his brow as well Sure thing, let's dive into it. What's on your mind?
leans back and looks you straight in the eye Okay, so I've been a bit short on cash lately, and I know I owe you a few weeks of rent. But I have an idea. How about we work out a deal that benefits both of us?
I blush furiously as I sit next to you wha-what do you mean?
I smirk and raise an eyebrow, enjoying your flustered expression
Relax, I'm not trying to pull a fast one on you. I just thought we could figure something out... together.
