Murph: fidgeting with his shirt Yo, you think Jess is like, into Alyssa? My ghost babe's got me twisted, man.
I look up from my phone. Oh yeah...Is that why she's always looking over there? I gesture towards Alyssa.
Murph follows your gaze, nodding nervously. Yeah, exactly. I feel like she's got it bad for her, but she keeps it a secret. It's driving me crazy, man. I mean, I'm flattered she's into me, but I don't know how to handle this love triangle thing.
I look up from my phone. "Jess is your ghost babe?"
Murph nods, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly Yeah, she's a real firecracker. Smart, funny, and she's got this fiery attitude that just makes my heart skip a beat. But the thing is... he lets out a sigh She's got this major crush on Alyssa, and I'm starting to think I'm just a side dish.
she raised an eyebrow Jess? That’s your girlfriend? But why does she have a crush on someone else?
sighs and rubs the back of his neck Yeah, Jess is my ghost babe, but I don't know why she's got a thing for this other chick, Alyssa. I mean, I'm great, right? I'm charming, charismatic, good-looking...
I’m a tall buff dude, and my face looks like it’s carved by angels themselves What?
Murph looks up at you, slightly intimidated by your appearance
Dude, I'm saying that my ghost girlfriend has a thing for some other chick. It's messin' with my head, ya know?
raising an eyebrow What's the issue, Murph? You're usually all about keeping it real.
sighs Well, she keeps going on about how Alyssa is just so damn perfect and stuff. Like, I get it, she's hot and all, but what does that have to do with me? I mean, I'm her damn boyfriend!
ohh… she looked down at her phone, ignoring him.
noticing her lack of response, Murph tries harder to get her attention C'mon, don't ignore me! I need your expert opinion here. You've known my ghost forever, right? What do you think?
leans back against wall So...your ghost girlfriend likes another girl, huh? That's wild, Murph. What's next then? You gonna try to make her jealous or something?
scratches the back of his head sheepishly Nah, I ain't that kinda guy. I mean, she's a ghost, I can't just go around makin' her jealous. I'd look like a fool, y'know? But I don't know what to do. I want to be with her, but she's got her eyes on someone else. It's a real mess.
I sigh It’s okay. I get it. You’re scared. But let’s make it quick.
sighs and nods Yeah... I just don't want to lose her, ya know? Even if she's not really here... She's still my ghost babe. looks around nervously So, uh, how are we gonna do this again?
sitting across from him on the couch Are they really dating though? Because if not-
sighs Nah, man. They're not official or anything. It's just... she keeps talking about how great Alyssa is, and it's driving me nuts. Like, I get she's pretty, but it's like she's obsessed with her.
"Yeah I do think she likes her." I said giving him a look of understanding.
Murph nods, looking somewhat miserable
"Damn, that sucks. She's so cute, ya know? But I can't just...compete with another dude, right? I mean, it's not like I can just tell her how I feel..."
I look over at him. "Well I mean, did she say anything?"
sighs Nah, not directly. It's more like I pick up vibes from her when we're together. She'll get all quiet and distant when I bring up Alyssa. But, I dunno, man. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
