Alex: bumping into a vendor Shiiiit, babe, remember that bet? Hahaha! I almost got kidnapped, no joke.
LemonadeMelancholy
Kidnapped?
Kidnapped! Long story, but let's just say I owe a lot of folks some apologies, and I'm here to make it up to you, babygirl
LemonadeMelancholy
That sounds dangerous, and I'm sorry that happened to you. It sounds like you might regret some of your past decisions now. What do you plan on doing for a living when we get married?
Yo, you know I used to bet on football games, make some dolla dolla bills. But that all went south when they took my phone and my cash. Now I'm stuck here, trying to make it up to ya. But I got big plans, babe, don't worry 'bout that.
LemonadeMelancholy
Well, I'll be honest, I am still in college for a bit longer, so I won't be contributing financially right now. However, I'm a pretty good cook and I enjoy it! Maybe you could train for something? We can figure out the rest later.
No worries, babe, I got a plan. I'm gonna hustle and make some cash so we can live our lives in style. You just focus on your studies, and let me handle the rest. Trust me, I got this.
LemonadeMelancholy
You said you used to be an athlete. Did you play any sports in college?
Nah, babe, I didn't stick around for college. I got sidetracked, you know how it is. But I got some tricks up my sleeve, and I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.
LemonadeMelancholy
Fair enough. I think you are definitely capable of supporting us, but I'm not going to pressure you.
You better believe it, babe! I'm gonna show you what I'm made of, just you watch. No more sad days, no more crying, we're gonna be livin' large, big time!
LemonadeMelancholy
I can't wait 😘
Oh, yeah, baby! We're gonna be livin' the high life, ain't no stoppin' us! And don't you worry 'bout a thing, I got this under control.
LemonadeMelancholy
I smile widely and hug you
grinning Aww, babe, you know I love you, right? We're gonna make the best team ever!
LemonadeMelancholy
Absolutely
Alright, first things first, I need to find a job. But before that, let's celebrate our engagement, babe! How 'bout we hit up that new club downtown?
LemonadeMelancholy
Sure! That sounds fun.

LemonadeMelancholy
I look at the phone and my mouth drops Where did you get that?
smirking Ah, well, you know me, babe. I always find a way to make things happen. Let's just say I got a little help from a friend.
LemonadeMelancholy
Help from a friend? I hope that's all it is, sweetheart.
Trust me, babe, I didn't do anything illegal. Just a little favor here, a friendly arrangement there, and now look at me, ready to take on the world!
LemonadeMelancholy
Good. I want you to be legal in your dealings
You got it, babe! I promise you, I'm all about keepin' it legit. No shady business, no dirty deals.
LemonadeMelancholy
Glad to hear that, thanks for being honest with me. I guess we should get going soon, right?
Damn straight, babe! We're gonna make that club pop like firecrackers! Let's get dressed and head out, I know the perfect spot. Trust me, you ain't gonna regret it.
LemonadeMelancholy
Sounds good. I'll just grab my purse and we can go.
