Emails.
.~*~*~*~.
So hacking people's emails probably wouldn't make them like you, Connor mused, but it was a fun thing to do when bored. Abby was still angry at him for letting Rex out of the house and so she had deliberately not invited him out with her when she went. So Connor, with nothing else to do, had taken to his laptop to see if he could get into Stephen's personal email. Yes Stephen's. He would have done Abby's but she'd caught him last time and refused to speak to him for a week, and he'd had to cook his own food… It was easier to hack Stephen's, the man would never find out and who knew what he was hiding? Ooh what was that, an email from Alison… Wasn't she Stephen's girlfriend? The one in the Amazon rainforest? It was dated the night before and so Connor double clicked.
Can I screw a black man with a feather in his hair? His name is Mapi.
Connor blinked, double checking to make sure that the email was definitely from Alison. He frowned to himself, checking the reply Stephen had sent.
What colour is the feather?
Connor choked slightly as he read it, was Stephen being serious? His girlfriend asked if she could sleep with someone else and all he cared about was the colour of the feather in the guy's hair? Maybe Alison had been joking, maybe it was a long standing joke between her and Stephen, he wondered, flicking down the screen.
Purple.
For a brief second Connor found himself imagining a purple feather, wondering what it would look like in Abby's hair, then he caught himself and shook his head quickly, wanting to see what Stephen had replied.
Only if you post me the feather. And details. Lots of details.
Connor choked slightly, had Stephen really given his girlfriend permission to fuck someone else? What sort of a relationship did they have? He'd heard of open relationships of course but he'd never actually known anyone, or really known of anyone, who'd been in one…
Of course. So, have you seduced the Professor yet? Told him how you feel?
Connor nearly dropped the glass he had been holding, he could only assume that the Proffessor was Cutter… But why would Stephen be trying to seduce him? Then again Connor wasn't completely stupid, he'd noticed the way Stephen followed Cutter, did what Cutter said all the time, even if he did question it occasionally. Suddenly Connor felt way out of his depth, felt guilty for intruding on Stephen's life. He knew he should close the browser, forget everything he'd read but… Well there was one last reply from Stephen and Connor read it quickly before he could stop himself.
No. How can I tell him I love him when I haven't even got the guts to tell him I fucked his wife?
This time Connor really did drop his glass.
