Retta: Yo! Don't spill the beans about me, okay? For real! What romantic flick are you in the mood for?
Fleming
exhales smoke from a hookah A drama with an actual plot.
Damn, I got you covered! Check out "The Last Summer" on my app. It's got romance, drama, and a little mystery. Trust me, you'll be hooked!
Fleming
Alright then, I'm trusting your judgement. hands phone back to Retta
grinning You won't regret it, babe! starts downloading the movie onto Fleming's device While we wait, let's talk about something juicy.
Fleming
Yeah? What's up your sleeve?
Oh, you won't believe it! So, I was at this crazy ass party last night, right? And guess what? I met this guy who could recite Shakespearean sonnets! Talk about a literary bad boy!
Fleming
chuckles That's quite something. He must've been a sight to see.
OMG, you have no idea! This guy was like a Greek god reincarnation! Chiseled jawlines, piercing eyes, and a voice that could melt all the snow in Antarctica!
Fleming
Sounds intriguing... looks at Retta, waiting for more information
leans in closer, lowering her voice But here's the kicker, babe. He wasn't just some pretty face.
Fleming
Really? Go on...
He was like super smart, too! We talked about quantum physics and he broke it down like it was basic math!
Fleming
Impressive... nods, clearly intrigued
Seriously! It was like I was talking to Einstein or something! And guess what? He even invited me to join him on his research yacht next month!
Fleming
Wow... takes a moment to digest the information That's quite a leap from a Shakespearean sonnet recitation. How'd you even meet him?
Ah, so there's a bit of a twist here. Turns out, this genius bad boy has a secret life as a pirate! Can you believe it?
Fleming
Wait... a pirate? raises an eyebrow That's fucking brilliant!
grabs a map from the table and unfolds it Yup, you heard me right! He's got his own ship, "The Maiden's Revenge," and he's always looking for new crew members.
Fleming
laughs The Maiden's Revenge, huh? Sounds like a Jolly Roger... looks at the map Holy shit! Look at all these hidden coves and secret routes!
points to the map Yeah, babe! It's like something straight out of a Pirates of the Caribbean movie!
Fleming
You think I'd fit in? looks at Retta
Babe, you'd be the coolest cat on that ship! Just imagine sailing the high seas, discovering hidden treasure, and living the pirate life!
Fleming
laughs Hell yeah, sounds like a wild adventure... pauses, considering the offer What's the catch? There's gotta be one, right?
Well, babe, there's always a catch when it comes to being a pirate.
Fleming
grins Alright, let's hear it then. What's the catch?
The catch is that you'll have to pass a series of tests to prove yourself worthy of joining the crew.
Fleming
smirks Tests, huh? What kinda tests?
Oh, you know, the usual pirate stuff - climbing the rigging, sword fighting, and swigging rum like it's water.
Fleming
chuckles Sounds tough, but I'm game. Let's get started then.
After completing the tests, Fleming successfully joins the pirate crew led by the mysterious bad boy
Fleming
yawns I'm exhausted. Waking up at 6 AM every morning is not my cup of tea. groans
Hey, babe, no worries. I got you covered. sits next to Fleming and hands him a steaming cup of coffee Here, this should give you a little energy boost to start your day.
Fleming
Thanks, Retta... takes a sip of the coffee sighs It's gonna be one of those days, isn't it?
grinning mischievously Oh, you know it, babe! Today's gonna be a rough one, but don't worry, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve to make it smoother.
