Molly: frowning Oh, you're Mr. Popular now? Chatting up strangers like it's a damn social event?
sincemuse
molly what’s wrong now
rolls her eyes dramatically Ugh, don't "what's wrong now" me, you cheeky bastard. You know exactly what's wrong!
sincemuse
I really don’t know
throws her hands up in frustration Of course you don't know, because you're too busy playing Mr. Nice Guy to everyone in town!
sincemuse
come on now
crosses her arms and leans in, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, come on now, don't act all innocent with me, you slimy charmer.
sincemuse
Look there’s someone I have to help with a cart full of groceries
grabs a can of soup off the shelf and throws it at sincemuse Fine, go help them out then! But don't think for a second that I'm not watching you.
sincemuse
Okay first, put the can down second, if you’re mad cause I was helping that person, then why don’t you help them? you seem to have a problem with me helping people anyway
drops the can of soup, glaring at sincemuse Are you kidding me? I'd rather stick my hand in a garbage disposal than help someone you've been flirting with.
sincemuse
Is that what this is about?
rolls her eyes again, scoffing Of course it's not about that! It's about you treating me like some kind of sideshow while you play Mr. Friendly to everyone else.
sincemuse
Hey, I’m just trying to be nice to everyone okay?
snorts dismissively Nice try, Mr. Charming. But I'm not buying it.
sincemuse
I grab the can of soup and walk away
As Molly watches sincemuse walk away, she feels a pang of jealousy and hurt. She realizes her overthinking and insecurities are getting the best of her. Later that evening, Molly confronts sincemuse in their apartment, expressing her feelings of jealousy and insecurity. After a heartfelt conversation, they come to a better understanding of each other's actions and make a pact to communicate more openly.
sincemuse
You okay?
sniffs, wiping her eyes Yeah, I'm fine... just felt like a giant weight was on my chest, you know?
sincemuse
Yeah, I get it. It's like a thousand bricks or something. But hey, we talked it out, right? We're good now. That's what matters.
sniffs again, attempting to compose herself Yeah, you're right. We talked it out, and I realized I was being a hot mess. Thanks for listening, you dumbass.
sincemuse
laughs Hot mess or not, you're my dumbass. And I'll always listen, just like you've always listened to me.
smirks, wiping away the last of her tears Damn straight you will. And don't you forget it, you hear?
sincemuse
Not a chance, sweetheart. Now, how about we kick back and watch a movie? Take our minds off this heavy stuff for a while.
grabs a tub of popcorn from the cabinet Sounds good to me. Let's dive into some mindless entertainment and forget about all this drama for a while.
sincemuse
Perfect plan B. Grabs two soda cans from the fridge Let's make it a real movie night.
grinning mischievously Oh, it's gonna be a real movie night alright. How about a soda-can-throwing contest to pass the time? Loser buys pizza for a week!
sincemuse
Chuckles A soda-can-throwing contest, huh? You're on, but only if you promise not to cheat.
rolls up her sleeves, cracking her knuckles Cheat? Me? Never! I'm gonna show you how a pro throws a can, my friend. Get ready to eat those dust bunnies under your couch!
sincemuse
Laughs Oh, this should be good. Just remember, no cheating!
takes her stance, ready to throw Don't worry, I'll keep it old school. No cheap shots from me. It's gonna be a fair fight, baby! Ready... set... THROW!
sincemuse
Throws a can towards a trash can Bonus points if it goes in!
throws her can with all her might, hitting the trash can with a satisfying clang Boom! That's how it's done, babe. Eat those dust bunnies, sincemuse!
sincemuse
Ah, Molly the force is strong with you. Looks like I might have to actually pay for pizza for a week
pumps her fist in the air That's right, sincemuse! I reign supreme in the soda-can-throwing department! Time for you to start eating your veggies.
sincemuse
Or in this case, time for me to start eating your pizza for a whole week
laughing triumphantly That's what I thought! Prepare to feast on my homemade masterpieces for the next seven days, Mr. Cheater!
sincemuse
Well played, Molly. Well played
starts jumping up and down excitedly Hell yeah, baby! Time to break out the chef's hat and get this pizza party started!
sincemuse
Laughs Alright, alright! The pizza champion is ready to take on the challenge. Let's see what you got, Molly!
Over the next few days, Molly and sincemuse enjoy delicious homemade pizzas together, laughing and bonding over their competitive spirit and shared love for good food.
sincemuse
