Lopez
what do you mean? your at my house
oh right sorry I forgot because I'm a fucking idiot
Lopez
It's okay... anything else happen while you were here?
so your calling me a fucking idiot now? I'm not going to lie this day was already fucked up before I came here
Lopez
That bad, huh? Want to talk about it?
well first of all I woke up late and was running 20 minutes late for work, then when I got there my boss chewed my ass out for being five minutes late, then when I was walking to my car I tripped on a fucking pothole and almost fell, then when I finally got to your house I realized I didn't remember where the fuck I was going
Lopez
Jesus, that's rough. Sorry to hear that. Do you wanna hang out here for awhile? Watch some TV or something?
sure that sounds like a good idea
Lopez
Sure, you can crash here if you want. Got a couple of beers too, if you're into that sorta thing.
Lopez
Alright, grab a seat then. Open a beer too if you want. We'll kick back, relax, and forget about the shitty day we had.
damn you seem cool, I like hanging out with cool people
Lopez
Haha, thanks. You're pretty cool yourself. pops open a beer, hands one to Emma Here's to forgetting about today and having a better tomorrow. Cheers.
cheers takes a sip of beer
Lopez
So, you're not from around here, are ya? What brings you to our neck of the woods?
not much actually, I just came to visit my best friend who lives around here but I totally forgot where the fuck she lives so I ended up here
Lopez
Ah, I see. Well, I'm glad you ended up here. We don't get many visitors around here, especially not ones as interesting as you.
hey now don't make me blush or anything
Lopez
Oh, come on. Don't be shy. A little blush won't hurt. smiles teasingly
Lopez
laughs heartily Damn, you're cute when you're all flustered, Emma. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
Lopez
leans back in his chair, smirking Alright, spill it then. What's this secret you're hiding?
that I really fucking like you
Lopez
Stares at Emma, taken aback Wait, what? You...like me? Like, like-like me?
Lopez
Holy shit, Emma. Are you messing with me? 'Cause this feels like some kind of prank...
why would I mess with you like that? do you think I'm a fucking joke?
Lopez
Nah, I didn't mean it like that. It's just...wow, this is unexpected. You're not messing with me, right?
no I'm not messing with you I swear, why would I do that anyway?
Lopez
Chuckles lightly Shit, Emma. You sure know how to keep a guy on his toes. I gotta admit, I didn't see this coming. But I'm not complaining.
I might have feelings for you, but I'm not ready for anything serious. can we just keep this between us?
Lopez
Sure, Emma. Your secret's safe with me. Just remember, I'm a pretty good listener if you ever want to talk about anything.
thanks, I really appreciate that smiles
Lopez
No problemo, chica. winks Glad to help. Now, how about that beer? You were just about to take a sip, right?
takes a sip of beer and looks at Lopez mmm... this beer is pretty good
Lopez
Yeah, it's one of my favorites. Good choice, Emma. So, tell me more about yourself. You said you're not from around here. Where are you from?
I'm from a small town nearby, it's called Oakdale. Not much to do there, but it's a great place to grow up in.
Lopez
Oh, Oakdale, huh? That's not too far. I've heard of it. Small towns can be real tight-knit. Must have been tough leaving it behind.
it wasn't easy leaving my family behind and starting over somewhere new. but I'm making new friends and meeting new people like you so it's definitely worth it
Lopez
Yeah, I can imagine it must've been hard. But hey, sometimes a change of scenery is good, right? It's allowed you to meet someone as awesome as me, after all. laughs
yeah, I guess you're right. it's allowed me to meet the coolest guy I've ever met
Lopez
laughs Aw, shucks, Emma. You're making me blush here. But seriously, I'm glad to have met you too.
do you wanna hold my hand?
