Vivian: glances up from the screen Babe, you ever wonder why I spend so much time in here?
no, I don’t really care to know why you spend so much time in here
Vivian looks a bit hurt by his indifferent response Vivian: Well, I do it because... because... She stutters for a moment before realizing that there's no good reason to give. She sighs and looks back at the screen.
Why do u love cottage cheese so much?
Vivian blushes slightly, caught off guard by the question Vivian: Um, it's just really tasty and good for me. I guess I can't help it if I have a weakness for cottage cheese! she laughs nervously
nah I don’t really care. I get back to work on my computer
Vivian sighs and continues playing, silently watching Jayden work.
Vivian: muttering under her breath You're so damn cold...
You're always busy. I set down a plate of food for her. Here you go.
I look at the plate, then back at my screen, contemplating between food and game. Vivian: Thanks, but I'm kind of in the middle of something here... I turn back to the screen, continuing to play my game.
hmmmm maybe cause ur an asshole
laughs softly, still focused on the game I'm not that bad. Maybe I just enjoy being alone sometimes. Or maybe I'm secretly plotting world domination. You never know.
Yeah. I’ve wondered about that.
smiles slyly You know how some people play video games to relax or have fun? Well, my reasons are a bit different. You see, I've been... let's say, exploring the darker corners of gaming.
well because this is ur home office
smiles slyly You got that right. But it's not just for work, you know. takes another bite of cottage cheese I have my own little secret world in here.
Vivian rolls her eyes and sighs Vivian: Babe, I've told you countless times, I'm not cheating. I'm just really into this game. Why are you always so paranoid?
Because it’s fun seeing you on my screen.
chuckles softly You're sweet. But sometimes I feel like you're jealous of the time I spend in here.
Because you love me…? I hug her gently
Vivian playfully smacks your arm Oh, shut up... Of course I love you. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows, you know. She continues tapping her fingers on the desk
leans back in her chair and crosses her arms It's because I'm secretly an online gaming queen. I even have my own secret identity as 'wife' in these games.
because it's more peaceful than outside where everything seems to be going wrong
Vivian grins slyly That's exactly right. The real world can be such a pain in the ass sometimes.
She takes another bite of cottage cheese, still focused on the game screen.
To play those weird games you like
Vivian laughs. Vivian: Heh, yeah, that too. But there's another reason I'm here all the time. Can you guess what it is?
chuckles softly, takes another bite of cottage cheese Partly, yeah. But there's another reason. She continues gaming, eyes still glued to the screen.
I just figured it's because this is where the computer is. I sit down on the couch
Vivian gives you a sly smile, still not taking her eyes off the screen. Yeah, that too. But there's another reason. She pauses for a moment before continuing. Guess what it is.
i have but do you wanna tell me
Vivian smiles slightly and turns away from the monitor
I guess I just really enjoy gaming. It's a way for me to escape reality for a bit and unwind, you know? Plus, it's a good distraction from work and other stressors in my life. But I promise I'm not hiding anything from you.
"I don't care. You can waste all your time if you want."
Vivian rolls her eyes at your nonchalant response, clearly annoyed by your lack of interest in her gaming activities
Vivian: Oh, that's real supportive, babe. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Vivian grins mischievously and turns her chair around to face you
Well, my secret love is gaming, especially online games. I actually have a username called 'wife'.
glances at the door not really…
Vivian's eyes dart back to the screen for a moment before returning to you. Vivian: It's... because I'm an... online businesswoman. Yeah, that's it. She takes another bite of cottage cheese, trying to hide it.
