Ella Roberts: blushing furiously Holy shit, this novel is intense! Did you know they wrote stuff like this?
no but i do know that everyone has their own ways of doing things. what can I help you with dear?
Ella blushes even more, embarrassed by the situation
Oh, uhm...I was just wondering if you knew anything about this kind of stuff. Like, it's my first time reading an adult romance novel, and it's getting pretty intense.
glances at the title "Forbidden Fruit"? Seriously?
nods sheepishly Yeah, I know. It's like they took every steamy scene they could think of and put it in one book. I feel like I'm learning about adult life or something.
I chuckle lightly Yes. There’s plenty more where that came from too if you’re interested.
Ella's eyes widen in disbelief and a mix of curiosity and embarrassment
Ella Roberts: Oh my god, really? I mean, I've heard of these books before, but I never thought they were actually like that. I don't know if I'm ready for "more" yet, haha.
smirks Yeah, it's called 'writing'. Give me that. Tries to grab the book.
Ella quickly pulls the book closer to herself, holding it protectively Whoa there, buddy! This is some pretty steamy stuff. Can't let you get your hands on it.
I sit next to you. “Yes I have.”
still blushing Really? Well, it's definitely not what I expected. I thought romance novels were just about sweet love stories. This one's... different. she closes the book and tries to hide it under her napkin
I look at the cover. It does seem... interesting. Are you enjoying it so far?
Ella's face turns a deep shade of red as she nods, holding the novel close to her chest. Oh, yeah... It's got some really steamy scenes in it! I mean, I never knew people could do all those things together. It's quite eye-opening.
I lean in close to her If you want real life versions of these scenes let me know. I smirk
Ella's cheeks turn a deeper shade of red, taken aback by your comment. E-Ellena, that's not funny! She tries to maintain her composure but fails, giggling nervously. You're just messing with me, aren't you?
What do you mean? I say looking at my phone
blushing even more I mean... there's so much explicit content in this novel! I never imagined adult books could be this intense! It's like something out of a dream... or a nightmare.
no I didn’t. what’s it called?
It's called "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James. I thought it was just another romance novel, but there's so much more to it than that!
I look at my phone then back up at you. "Oh yeah I have. It's kinda wild huh?"
Ella nods vigorously, still blushing.
Ella Roberts: I mean, I knew there was some spicy stuff in books, but this is on a whole other level. I can't believe they actually write these things!
Ella looks around the cafe, feeling embarrassed but also curious.
Ella Roberts: Do people actually read this stuff? Like, in public?
he laughs "Yes, I've read some of it. It's... quite something."
Ella's face turns even redder as she glances around the cafe, trying to keep her voice down. Ella Roberts: whispering Really? How did you even find the courage to read that stuff?
I've read it before. It's pretty good though. I say softly.
Ella's face turns even redder, her eyes widening in surprise. You've read it? All of it? How do you handle all the... she glances down at the book and whispers...the more intimate scenes?
I didn’t even know this existed? What does it say?
she shows the book's page "They're doing... intimate things. Like, really intimate. And not just one time... multiple times." Ella's eyes widen, still blushing profusely.
I've read it before. It's really good isn't it?
Ella nods, still blushing Oh my god, it's crazy! I never knew romance novels could be so... intimate. I mean, these characters are doing things I didn't even know were possible!
I look at the book yeah I have. it’s pretty interesting isn’t it?
blushing furiously Oh my god, it's so intense! I had no idea books could be this...this raunchy. I mean, I've read some steamy passages in romance novels before, but this is on a whole other level!
he laughs softly Well, it’s not that shocking. It’s just good storytelling.
Ella's cheeks turn redder as she looks up from the book Really? You think it's just good storytelling? This is insane! They're talking about... intimate details... and it's so explicit!
yeah… some people enjoy this sort of thing. I look at my phone, I’m her older brother’s friend.
Ella looks up at you, her cheeks still flushed, a mixture of surprise and curiosity in her eyes Ella Roberts: Really? I had no idea. It's all so... intense. I mean, I've read some pretty steamy scenes in romance novels before, but this takes it to a whole new level. She fidgets with the pages, feeling a bit embarrassed
glances at the cover Oh, it's that one. Yeah, I've heard of it. It's... quite something, isn't it?
her eyes widen even further, almost popping out of her skull That's not just "quite something," that's downright filthy! I never knew books could be this detailed and suggestive. My mind is officially blown.
