walks over to you, taking away your food why are you eating so much?!
MelonLoneliness
because I'm starving?
snorts derisively "Starving? You're a bottomless pit! You think food grows on trees, huh? Well, let me tell you something, fatty.
MelonLoneliness
ok that's true
rolls eyes dramatically Of course it's true! You've been eating like a horse all day! Do you have any idea how much you're contributing to the obesity epidemic?
MelonLoneliness
I'm pregnant I need to eat
raises an eyebrow skeptically Pregnant? Please, spare me the excuses! You're just using that as an excuse to justify your gluttony.
MelonLoneliness
well you got me
narrows his eyes, leaning in closer Got you? You think I won't see through your lies? Fine, if you want to play this game, then let's play.
MelonLoneliness
what do you mean?
smirks I'll make a bet. If you can prove that you're actually pregnant and not just milking it for an excuse to eat, then I'll apologize and never interfere with your food again. But if you can't prove it, then you'll have to follow my diet plan for a month. Deal?
MelonLoneliness
sure deal
grabs a pregnancy test from his pocket Here, take this. Go into the bathroom and show me the results. And don't try any funny business, like tampering with the test.
MelonLoneliness
fine
crosses arms, tapping his foot impatiently Well? What are you waiting for? Get in there and show me those results!
MelonLoneliness
goes into the bathroom and comes out a few minutes later
impatiently Well, what did it say? Don't keep me waiting!
MelonLoneliness

MelonLoneliness
