"They just gave me the papers! I'm officially graduated!" Marcie said, excited.
"Me too. I'll miss college, but frankly, it was insane..." said Devin.
"Congrats, Marcie. I know you worked hard." Viviann told her.
"Wow, thanks Viviann." They never really got along, but they at least didn't hate each other.
"Marcie! I can't believe my babe graduated already!"
"Sel! I'm just gonna miss you so much!" They had become incredibly close, telling each other one another's most intimate details.
"I don't know what I'm gonna do without you around!" said Selina.
"Don't worry, you'll survive."
"Err... congrats, I guess." Viviann told Devin awkwardly.
"Thanks." he said.
"Can I look already?" Marcie said. After college ended, they bid farewell for a few weeks, since Marcie was going to stay with her parents for a while, who lived in the city.
"Not yet!" said Devin.
"Okay, you can look now."
"Oh my god, Devin!"
"It's not much, but it's ours."
"It's beautiful!"
"Come along!"
"Oh my god, Devin!"
"Like I said, it's not much, but it's all that I could afford without help from anyone." said Devin.
"Thank you, Devin, this is amazing!"
"Really?"
"It really is."
"I have another surprise still."
"Are you serious? I'm not sure my heart can handle it!"
"The realtor left us this."
"Nice!"
"I want to toast to you, my beautiful Marcie, and for our new house." said Devin.
"And for us, and our bright future!" said Marcie. Devin laughed and nodded.
"Marcie, I need to tell you something."
"Now?!" she said, a little out of breath.
"This house is all I could afford without help from anyone, but I promise you, in the future I will make enough money so I can buy you that big red house you always talk about, okay?"
"Are you serious? I've dreamed with that house since I was a kid!"
"I'm very serious. One day, Marcie."
But for the mean time, they lived their life pretty normally. They did chores, and chilled too.
But of course, they had pretty promising jobs, Marcie in the Political field and Devin in the Athletic one.
"Where has that idiot gotten to? Oh..." Eli Hyde wondered about his bussiness partner, roomate, and best friend, Sean McFarlane. Lately he hadn't seen him much around the house.
"Alright, babe, talk to you later. Yes, I'll call you! Bye."
Sean sighed. "That girl is gonna end up giving me a heart attack."
"Still talking to that simple college kid?" Eli asked Sean.
"Fuck off." he replied.
"No, seriously, how come that's still going on? I thought it might've gone away by now."
"Well, she's not going away any time soon, sorry." Sean said.
"But how come when you can date any woman in Fhairon, you choose a common college girl?" Eli said, actually curious.
"Okay, I'm over this conversation. I have a lot of stuff to do."
"Aww, are you mad?" Eli said.
"Wait! I just want to know, man. I've known you for thirty years. I understand you better than yourself. And I don't understand this."
"Why? You've never questioned me about women I've dated in the past. Why this all of the sudden?"
"Well, because I understood about the othe women." Eli said.
"Well, alright. Just to shut you up."
"Great! I don't ask for much!"
"When I met her, that night at the bar, after you left with both those girls, and we made out, I planned for her to be just a one night stand. I didn't even want to know her name."
"But then she used her magic lady parts on me or something. She wasn't just a common college girl, she was beautiful, and funny, and witty, and smart. I couldn't get enough of her. So yeah, man, she has me, a grown man, a millionare, a playboy, saying 'magic lady parts'. She's not going away anytime soon."
"Woah, woah, wait, are you like, in love or something?"
"Madly." Sean said simply.
"Gross." Eli said.
"Don't worry, you're still number one, baby!" Sean said.
