Parental visit

[geniusmccoy]

After showing them around school, Henry had bitten the bullet and invited them back home. Told them about room mates they'd very probably not meet. Showed them around

Australia. Quite the globe trotter. Your parents are travellers?

Here

*offers her

[zomaar_iemand]

You act like those two are mutually exclusive. People prefer honesty.

*pulls out a few plates* How did you become his room mate? Or did this Bette decide?

[spinonmyturret]

They really do. *gives her a sharp look* No one likes to feel ashamed about who they are, especially when it's people that say they love them doing the shaming.

*gets up and goes to get the cutlery, flicking a few knives around her fingers because she can't resist* I needed a place to stay. Bette and Henry offered me their spare room.

*flinches*

Bette is a friend of Henry's? Does she have a boyfriend? It's a shame we won't meet her tonight. All these stories made me quite curious.

How do you like the iced tea?"

[spinonmyturret]

She does have a boyfriend, yes. And she works a lot. She might be in later but I doubt it.

*sips and nods* It's a little colder than i'm used to.

[zomaar_iemand]

Good, good.

*does a double take* But I was told she was very rich. Why would she work? Why do kids these days are in such a hurry to get to work?

It's iced tea, Rebecca.

[spinonmyturret]

She has a good work ethic. And she's a little older than us so she prefers to keep herself busy.

*smiles at her* And despite that, it's still petty good.

[zomaar_iemand]

Thank you, Rebecca. I guess this just goes over my head because I'm from a different place. We don't try so hard back home.

And you, do you have a special someone?

[spinonmyturret]

Ah I see. I guess some places are a little bit less modern than others.

Actually I do.

[zomaar_iemand]

Modern isn't always better.

*brightens* He must like the handful. And do you care for him, or does he cook your meal and iron your clothes?

[spinonmyturret]

*is so tempted* We take care of eachother.

[zomaar_iemand]

And that is how a relationship should work. Do you think he will offer you his heart? *winks* And a ring, in time?

[spinonmyturret]

I really don't think that's something either of us are thinking about. *involuntarily flicks her eyes over at Henry checking up on him* Especially right now.

[zomaar_iemand]

You should. Men like it if they know you're committed to something. You're probably one of those young ladies who want to be "free" and "live their life" before "settling down", but a good man has no time for that.

*offers her a deep fried carrot* Dinner's ready in five.

[spinonmyturret]

I think your s-... my boyfriend would disagree really strongly with that. It's one of the things I love about him.

*tosses the carrot into the bag when she's not looking*

[zomaar_iemand]

*narrows her eyes*

My what?
