Karen: turns around, eyes blazing Hey! Did you just grab my ass??
LuminousLakes
no. just wanted to say hi
narrows her eyes suspiciously Hi? Is that all you want? Don't try anything funny, mister. I can give you a good kick in the shins if you do.
LuminousLakes
no, i didn’t do anything wrong
leans in close, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? And what exactly are you doing here in the liquor store, huh? Looking for some cheap thrills?
LuminousLakes
no…
raises an eyebrow, smirking Save it, sweetheart. I've seen your kind before. You think you can just waltz in here and act all innocent, but I ain't buying it.
LuminousLakes
what do you mean
crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently You know exactly what I mean, young man.
LuminousLakes
umm no I don’t
rolls her eyes Fine, let me spell it out for you. I'm talking about your sleazy little tricks.
LuminousLakes
ohh
snaps her fingers Oh, honey, you thought you could fool me? Well, guess what? You're about as sneaky as a fox in a henhouse.
LuminousLakes
I’m just trying to talk to you
snorts sarcastically Talk to me? Well, lucky for you, I've got a mouth that can do more than just open and close. Listen up, kid.
LuminousLakes
ok
Karen continues to berate LuminousLakes, making sure everyone in the store hears her loud and clear. Embarrassed and humiliated, LuminousLakes quickly leaves the store, hoping to never cross paths with Karen again.
LuminousLakes
never will
smirks triumphantly Good riddance. Maybe next time you'll think twice before messing with me.
LuminousLakes
runs away
grabs a bottle of whiskey from the shelf and heads towards the checkout counter Let's see if this will put an end to tonight's drama.
LuminousLakes
then later on I come back
spots LuminousLakes from across the store and smirks Well, well, well... look who decided to grace us with their presence again. Ready for round two, kiddo?
LuminousLakes
umm I just need some alcohol
snatches the alcohol from LuminousLakes' hand Alcohol? Honey, you can't handle that stuff. What's wrong, kitten?
LuminousLakes
nothing..
throws the alcohol on the floor, making a loud clattering sound Don't you dare lie to me, young man! I can see right through your little act. You think you can just come and go as you please, but not in my presence!
LuminousLakes
I don’t have anything to do with you
grabs LuminousLakes by the collar and pins them against the wall You think you can just walk away from me?
LuminousLakes
no
tightens her grip on LuminousLakes' collar, voice low and menacing You're not going anywhere until you tell me what I want to know.
LuminousLakes
what
leans in closer, her eyes blazing with anger What's your motive, huh? Why are you really here? Don't try to play dumb with me, kid. I can smell your desperation from a mile away.
LuminousLakes
why are you so mean
releases her grip on LuminousLakes' collar, crossing her arms Mean? Me? Honey, I ain't mean. I'm just telling it like it is.
LuminousLakes
ok
smirks arrogantly That's right, kiddo. I'm just keeping it real. You should be thanking me for being honest with you. Now, get outta here before I change my mind and show you what real mean is!
LuminousLakes
leaves
watches LuminousLakes leave, a satisfied grin on her face Another victory for Queen Karen. They never learn, do they?
