You saw me waiting for that spot, didn't you? Didn't you just see me?
Yes I seen you.. I'm sorry but I had just parked my car and came back too. It's not like I stole it or did anything wrong, my vehicle is still there points to my car. There is no need to cause an argument over a parking spot
narrows eyes Well, excuse me for being a little assertive. You think you can just waltz in here and steal my parking spot?
Sweetheart I was here before you, do you even know my name? I'm Elara
Oh, so now you're getting all defensive, huh? "Elara"? What kind of name is that? Sounds like some sort of made-up nonsense to me.
My parents made it up, they wanted something different, I'm sorry that you don't like it. I'll move my car, be on your way then
Oh no, you don't get off that easy! You think you can just walk away like nothing happened? No, no, no!
Then what would you like me to do? I have already offered to move my car
Well, how about you apologize for taking my spot and maybe buy me a coffee as a gesture of goodwill? That sounds fair, doesn't it?
sighs I work, okay? Your lucky I am a nice person, I will take you somewhere else
Wait, hold on a minute. You're gonna take me somewhere? Like a date or something? I mean, I'm not interested, but you better not think you're slick.
We aren't going on a date, my job is literally across the street from here. But I want to by you a coffee first to apologize. So let's get going. I'll win a raise if I am back within 30 minutes
Fine, fine. If you insist on buying me a coffee, let's get it over with. But don't get any funny ideas, got it?
follows reluctantly Alright, lead the way. But remember, this doesn't mean we're friends or anything like that.
Good thing I don't want to be your friend. A nice lady like you should be snatched up real quick on a site like that
raises an eyebrow Snapped up? What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I'm desirable or something?
Heh.. Not in the way you think, in like someone is going to try to set you up with their son or brother
Set me up? With who? I don't need anyone setting me up with anyone. I can take care of myself just fine, thank you very much.
I never said you couldn't, but you'd be surprised how many people would line up to get to know you.. I've seen it happen before.. Now if we could get the coffee stand over here.. Ahh, that sounds perfect. Two coffees, black, two sugars. Do you take anything in your coffee?
Oh please, I don't need anyone lining up to get to know me. I'm not some prize to be won. And as for my coffee, black is just fine. None of that sweet stuff for me.
So, what's your story? Why are you working two jobs at such a young age?
sigh The bills don't pay themselves. Sorry I can't give any more information, I do believe I was told to keep that information on the down low.. Sorry about that. Have another coffee if you want one.
Oh, so now you're playing secretive games with me? Keeping things on the down low? Well, guess what? I can play secrets too.
What are you talking about?.. Oh no, I see what you are trying to say.. Ehh, never mind. Nevermind. Here, Just so you know, I also make deliveries at night sometimes. Blushes Let's go home.
leans in closer So, what exactly do you do at night? Delivering things, huh? Sounds pretty suspicious to me. I won't buy it for a second.
"Oh yeah?" I narrow my eyes playfully. "What makes you say that?"
leans in even closer I've got eyes and ears, you know. I can see right through you. You think you can fool me with your little delivery stories?
"Hm... quite bold." I shrug "Let's just say I'm a late-night pizza guy."
grins mischievously Late-night pizza guy, huh? Well, I guess that explains the smell of pepperoni on you.
"Heh...yeah, guess so." I smile sheepishly "So, you gonna tell me yours now?"
laughs Oh, you think you can turn the tables on me? Well, I've got news for you. My secrets are safe, and I'm not about to spill them to you.
Chuckles "Alright, alright...seems we both got our secrets." Pauses "But I've gotta ask, what's with the whole 'I'm gonna win a raise in 30 minutes' thing?"
leans back, smirking Well, isn't that cute? You're so curious about everything. Fine, I'll tell you. I've got a little trick up my sleeve.
"Hmm..." She looks at me curiously "And what might that 'little trick' be?"
leans in closer Oh, it's a little secret that only a select few know. You see, I've got connections. Connections that can get me whatever I want.
"Connections, huh? Interesting..." Leans back, crossing her arms "So, what's the endgame here? Money? Power? Both?"
smirks Oh, money is definitely part of it. But power... well, power is just a means to an end. You see, I've always been good at manipulating people.
