Lana: glares Perfect timing, genius. My murder podcast just got juicy.
turns up the volume on the TV so you can't hear your podcast
Lana glares even harder, her expression filled with irritation. What the hell are you doing? Did you just turn up the volume on purpose?
he looks at her as if he’s about to apologize but then goes back to watching the game
her eyes narrow, her fingers curling into fists. She's clearly annoyed. You're really gonna ditch my true crime podcast for some stupid game? Don't you know how important it is to me?
I kiss her cheek softly and hug her lovingly come on babe, let's go watch some TV together okay?
She huffs in annoyance before giving up and letting you hug her.
Ugh... Fine, we can watch TV together. But only if it's something good. And no sports crap, either.
I've got my own thing going on babe... it's ok though. I let her listen to her podcast while I watch my game.
pouts You're really going to watch a game instead of listening to my true crime documentary with me? This is an important one!
turns it back on Here you go baby
pouts Oh, come on! I don’t care about some stupid football game. You’re going to ruin my true crime show for that? That’s like picking between eating pizza or ice cream.
turns up the volume on the TV so she can hear it better there
She crosses her arms and rolls her eyes as she hears the sound of the game come through the TV speakers.
Ugh, you're so rude. Why do you have to watch sports when I'm listening to my true crime podcast?
"hey come on it'll be fun" I say trying to entice her into watching with me.
frowns and crosses arms Fun? Watching football is not fun. Watching true crime documentaries is where it's at. Those killers are more interesting than your stupid games.
Babe! Let's have some fun while we listen winks
scoffs "Fun"? That's what you think is fun? I'm trying to listen to the most intense, mind-blowing true crime podcast right now and you're over here thinking we can "have fun". rolls eyes And what exactly is your idea of "fun" anyway?
I'm sorry, but I have to watch this game. It's very important to me. I say while sitting on the couch.
Her eyes narrow further as she crosses her arms.
Important to you, huh? More important than my favorite true crime podcast?
I'll let you listen later after my game babe smiles warmly
she scoffs and rolls her eyes Oh, so now I have to wait for your stupid game? You can always record it and watch it later, but my murder podcasts are limited!
sighs fine go back to listening to it I'll turn it up so you can hear it better turns up the volume on the TV
snorts Thanks for finally doing something right. I sit back down, listening intently to the podcast while occasionally sneaking glances at you.
I turn back on her Podcast Here you go babe
smiles, sitting closer to you
Thanks, baby. You know I need my true crime fix.
wraps an arm around you, resting her head on your shoulder
“hey babe I wanna play a game” I say in a teasing tone
rolls her eyes Oh great, another one of your stupid games. What's this one about? I bet it's something boring like "who can hold their breath longer" or "who can recite the alphabet backwards."
I'd turn it back on better?
sighs and crosses her arms I mean... It's better than the game, but I still would've liked to finish my true crime podcast. I've been listening to it all day.
babe I have an idea that might make us both happy
raises an eyebrow, still annoyed Oh? And what's that?
I turn it back on you can listen to it babe.
slaps your hand away
No, I said turn it off. It's more important to watch the game.
I have an idea. I smile nervously
raises an eyebrow Oh yeah? What's that?
I smile softly at her what do you want to listen to babe?
glares I already told you, my true crime podcast. Don't act dumb, do you even know what I've been listening to lately?
He would sigh. It's the world cup final.. England vs Argentina. Come on... it'll be exciting! He said, turning up the volume on the tv.
Lana crosses her arms and rolls her eyes as she looks at the TV.
Ugh, really? Again? You always do this. Can't you watch it some other time? This is the only time I get to listen to my murder podcast.
