Stranger in A Strange Land: Day 35

Vincent (to Poppy): Good early afternoon, my lovely creature. I hope U can carve out some time 2day 2 give me ur undivided attn for a bit.

Poppy (to Vincent): Hi there, honey... I was stuck in a meeting all morning. I think I can muster up some time for you. What's happening?

Vincent (to Poppy): No worries, darling. I know ur not always @ my beck & call. Could such a lady as U ever B so tamed? ;}

Poppy (to Vincent): Flattery will get you everywhere. ;-)

Vincent (to Poppy): If U have some spare time now, I wanted 2 talk 2 U abt us.

Poppy (to Vincent): Us? What do you mean, honey?

Vincent (to Poppy): Well, sweetness, I know after my 1st visit 2 NYC, we agreed 2 keep things cas. 2 many ppl 2 see, 2 many ppl 2 do... But, I was wondering if ur feelings abt us having a casual relationship had changed of late. U seemed awfully upset ovr the snafu w/ Asher.

Poppy (to Vincent): Oh, honey... I don't know what to say… I think I just have "first time" malaise. I like the way our relationship is now, honey, but I... I think I was still upset about you standing me up to go hang out with Asher and then hearing that you did it again.

Vincent (to Poppy): I'm so sorry 2 have upset U, sweet. Truly. I have no excuses 4 my atrocious behavior ovr these past few wks. I hope it helps 2 know I feel like a desolate wretch ovr the whole thing. I'll confess something 2 U if U SWEAR not 2 breathe a word 2 my sister.

Poppy (to Vincent): Why would I ever tell your sister, anything?

Vincent (to Poppy): I have learned 2 take nothing 4 granted. The world has gone mad! It's been a vry STRANGE few months. I ended up crying on Eep's shoulder after the creep. EEP! Can U imagine? The truth is, & this is not my finest hr, I just couldn't stay away frm the Creep. I knew what kind of man he was, he IS... & even tho I knew, I was still fascinated by him & MASSIVELY attracted 2 him. Lord, just thinking abt it gives me the vapors.

Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, I understand more than you know...

Vincent (to Poppy): Poppy, dearest, I hope U won't think less of me, but I'm bursting under this secret. I was the 1 who suggested Asher & I move our meeting 2 the bathroom. I let every1 think he seduced me b/c... Well, I'm a coward. I was afraid of alienating both my sister & my friend. Being alone & lost is dreadful. I didn't want 2 go thru it again if I cld help it. So there U have it. U know what a knave and cad I've been in full.

Poppy (to Vincent): Honey, why are you telling me all of this? I mean, not to say that I'm not grateful for the honesty... but, you've made it pretty clear that I'm not really anything to you except someone you have "fun" with... I'm confused.

Vincent (to Poppy): I'm sorry, sweet. I didn't mean 2 make U feel uncomfortable & even if we're not "4 serious bf/gf" I thought, well maybe I just hoped, we were friends. LOL Apparently, my judgment is @ an all time low at the mo. I cannot B trusted in the slightest. U won't hold it against me, I hope?

Poppy (to Vincent): I thought we were friends, too... you've just never seemed interested in talking to me like I was a person before. I actually, find myself in a similar predicament, but instead of the creep, it's you. I can't see to stay away... Maybe, we should cool it for awhile?

Vincent (to Poppy): Yeah. We seem 2 only evr talk thru perv chicken don't we? & I certainly don't want 2 B ur Creep. Do U want 2 just B friends 4 awhile?

Poppy (to Vincent): Yes, honey, I think that may be for the best... I do enjoy your company, but maybe we should get to know each other better before we ruin what we have.

Vincent (to Poppy): Madam, that sounds like a wonderful plan. :} (to Mouse) I spoke 2 Ms Poppy 2day. Thankfully there was no drama. We decided just 2 B friends 4 a while.

Mouse (to Vincent): Well, that's good to hear... I was eyeballing the gin I was holding for you. :-)

Vincent (to Mouse): Don't think ur getting out of sharing that gin this easily, sister dear.

Mouse (to Vincent): Well, if you want any of it, I suggest you get over here quickly. :-p (to Eep) Sorry, I didn't call you back sooner. I had headphones on all day.

Two hours later:

Vincent (to Eep): Where the hell R U? Mouse & I R going 2 finish this bottle of gin w/o U. Get ur scrawny ass ovr here.

Mouse (to Eep): Hey, where are you? Are you okay?

Eep (to Mouse): No. No. I'm OK. I could use some company. Where are you guys?

Mouse (to Eep): We're at my place, but Vincent & I have been drinking... a lot, so I can't come get you.

Eep (to Mouse): It's fine. I'm sure I can find a ride over. I might have to crash there, though. If that's OK?

Mouse (to Eep): Of course, you're always welcome to stay over. :-) (to Vincent) so, while you're picking up for booze... Pick up some more, Eep is coming to join us.

Vincent (to Mouse): Ooo! Sounds intriguing. I shall restock our supplies post posthaste. Like now.

Mouse (to Vincent): Excellent! Um, I think I'm drunk...

Vincent (to Mouse): Sweetie, U THINK ur drunk? U shld drink more till ur sure.

Mouse (to Vincent): You're probably right... I'll work on that. Heehee. OH, now I feel bad for sending you to the store... When Eep gets here, he's gonna have to catch up.

Vincent (to Mouse): Rlly. If Eep's going 2 have 2 catch up, we might as well make him work 4 it.

Mouse (to Vincent): well, what's taking you so long? You've been gone forever... FOREVER.

Eep (to Vincent): Yeah. Really. Hurry the fuck up.

Vincent (to Mouse & Eep): I'm coming. I'm coming. Yeesh. Impatient much?

Eep (to Vincent): Gross. We didn't want to know that.

Mouse (to Eep & Vincent): HAHA...

Vincent( to Eep): O.M.G. I can see SOME1 has been making up 4 lost time. (to Mouse) I'm WALKING UP THE STAIRS NOW. U 2 R terrible taskmasters U know that?
