- ̗̀ CAN'T SEE THE SUNSHINE ,

‘ c’mon now, i’m sure you’ve got SOMETHING up your sleeve you can turn to so that i can have a better day, ’ she requests, cocking her head at him. ‘ yeah but i want you to, that should definitely count for something. ’ saskia balks at his last suggestion, brow furrowed. ‘ definitely would rather be hungover than have salmonella. & rest is boring as all hell, so you’re gonna have to tell me something i n t e r e s t i n g. fill me in, what’s going on with you ? ’

mac: i already did? i'm not an idiot...

mac: //don't// respond if you don't wanna hear me complain about it :-)

darius: i didn't call you an idiot.. you did that yourself :-)

darius: also, how am i supposed to know that?

FARIDA → ✉️ : i think he'd humbly tell you to refilm the video as i've advised you to do only a hundred times since you played it for me (¬‿¬)

FARIDA → ✉️ : an optimistic way of looking at it for sure, babes, but he might be looking for a bit more than friendship and him coming into the store just to vent is his way of pursuing you . . . putting all his of emotions on display so you see the authentic, genuine fucker with the botched fade from within

FARIDA → ✉️ : you could always make a complaint to the manager (hehe) that this man makes you feel harassed/threatened with his insistent yelling and carrying on and then i'd take matters into my own hands . . . give him a proper warning and, because we know him, he'll do all but take heed to that warning, come into the store making just as much if not /more/ noise than before, and get himself banned . . . no skin off of my nose, it's not like he purchase anything so we technically won't be losing business by forbidding him . . . you're welcome though, i am LITERALLY risking my job to reward you, true love if you ask moi

FARIDA → ✉️ : you'd better not be, i had you in mind with every bikini i chose

FARIDA → ✉️ : ♥‿♥ and you know how i feel about you

FARIDA → ✉️ : reckon that's dependent on if you want to be see me right now or if you can wait until the morning . . . if you're too beat from work, i understand, i'm in bed myself so it's ultimately up to you . . . you SAY that, but the next thing i know, i'll get in your car tomorrow and the backseat will be empty and you'll tell me one of the members of your harem snagged my swimsuits

FARIDA → ✉️ : let's not pretend as though i haven't found string bikinis around your flat, dar . . . technically, you /do/ own them, and pairs of cheap panties, too

FARIDA → ✉️ : but of course, there's a reason some of those bikini tops are two sizes too small 💦

DARIUS → ✉️ : it was a quick thing baby, i already told you!! sigh i ain't even gonna get into it smh . . fine film my next one then

DARIUS → ✉️ : jesus, you think ? the only reason he comes into the store to make a scene is just to see me . . imagine that, i got myself a not so secret admirer. it's gonna be a no from me though, sorry buddy . . my heart's occupied

DARIUS → ✉️ : ok then consider this me making a formal complaint, ms. manager. i like it though . . good plan, good plan.

DARIUS → ✉️ : if true love is more job perks then sign me the fuck up . . maybe having you as my manager ain't the worst thing ;-)

DARIUS → ✉️ : hm , do i ? cause idk far, last time i checked, you were still hung up on some fools .. while i'm stuck here tryna figure out why the fuck we ain't together

DARIUS → ✉️ : but anyway, i always want to see you . . and i'm also already on my way so you don't have to worry about any of my harems stealing your stuff

DARIUS → ✉️ : also for the record, i do not have a harem lmao

DARIUS → ✉️ : okay but technically none of them are /mine/ .. i should probably get rid of them honestly

DARIUS → ✉️ : my favourites tbh 👅

mac: my roommate ate all of my fucking greek yogurt again.

mac: buy your own shit

darius: why you telling me .. go tell your roommate

FARIDA → ✉️ : golden opportunity to play him the grammy deserving tune you recorded about the sun, paired with the video . . . i consider that guaranteed fucker with the botched fade repellent and YOU BLEW IT

FARIDA → ✉️ : on a serious note, though . . . i'll key in four extra hours for today's payroll because your resilience against fucker with the botched fade and his rant about the mall's tune selection is well deserving in my bias but correct opinion, and as far as ridding the store of him entirely, we'll have to devise a plan to get him to do something ban worthy because as much as i want to, i simply cannot ban him for merely existing and bothering my man friend/valued employee with his whining

FARIDA → ✉️ : who, me ? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

FARIDA → ✉️ : don't complain, i picked the colour you told me to for my nails and bought a matching bikini for them, you should be GRATEFUL

FARIDA → ✉️ : while i'm ecstatic to hear that you love my arse despite there not being much of an arse there, i'd much rather hear that you love /me/

FARIDA → ✉️ : i digress

FARIDA → ✉️ : my nightly serums have been applied but you can still deliver my bikinis if you choose

FARIDA → ✉️ : and just how many string bikinis DO you own ? and are you planning on modeling them for me, and if so, when ? asking the important questions here

DARIUS → ✉️ : oh word ? you think he'd appreciate it and not roast me about it every second ? unlike SOME people i know 🙄 smh

DARIUS → ✉️ : maybe i been lookin at the fucker with the botched fade all wrong . . maybe he's the supportive friend that i need . . maybe i should give him the benefit of the doubt . . maybe he's actually just been looking for a friend this whole time . . :-/

DARIUS → ✉️ : anyway this is like the third time i've seen him . . he's bound to do something punishable soon lbr. there's only so much yelling and complaining he can do before really snapping but yeah i know.. i'm just acting all heated about it right now but thanks far, that's real generous of you

DARIUS → ✉️ : you da real mvp

DARIUS → ✉️ : oh trust me, i'm not tryna complain about a good thing like you and bikinis

DARIUS → ✉️ : but why not both ? those cheeks, all of you, baby. you already know how i feel about about you

DARIUS → ✉️ : i mean, if you want me to drop em off now, i can ? it's up to you, i'm good with whenever. it's not like you in my car is a rare occurrence anyway .. all of it will still be here the next time you get in my car

DARIUS → ✉️ : ok that was definitely sarcasm and i most definitely don't own any string bikinis .. what do you think this is

OPEN !

‘ i’ve got the hangover from fucking hell, ’ she mutters, tapping away at her phone to fill the time of her day off as it s t r e t c h e s out before her. ‘ i felt FINE all through mexico, & i was shit faced more often than not, but it seems to have hit me now i’m back on american soil. just in time for work, ’ she groans, throwing her phone to the side & turning to the other. ‘ c’mon then, get my mind off of it. ENTERTAIN me or something, ’ saskia requests, closing her eyes.

DARIUS → ✉️ : okay so update: the annoying fucker with the botched fade continued to drag my ass around the store for an extra 20 minutes before yelling at me about the mall's music selection and how unfair his life is . . and THEN he proceeded to not buy anything ..

DARIUS → ✉️ : so yeah what's our policy on banning customers from the store bc :-) i can't promise i won't punch his face in the next time i see him like ffs

DARIUS → ✉️ : also i'm blaming your princess ass for this mess in the backseat of my car, hm ..

DARIUS → ✉️ : i mean . . an ass that i love, don't get me wrong

“even if you’re joking, i’ll honestly take everything i can right now.” ariel laughed with a fond smile. “nah, this event got me an extra day off so i’m good. black widow, not many females to chose from but black widow had to be it.”

“ maybe we both pissed her off in a former life ?” she chuckled slightly. 

“ i think i must have pissed my manager off in a former life ?” she concluded with a light chuckle, “ how else would you explain me being scheduled to OPEN five days this week ? i am the farthest thing from a morning person. ”

she’s holding flyers in her hand, passing one out to everyone she encounters (sort of forcibly).   “hi!”  a vivacious greeting as she holds one of the flyers out.  “holy family catholic church is having a movie night this weekend!  i’m hosting it.   we’ll be showing all of america’s classics: God’s Not Dead, God’s Not Dead 2, and The Passion of Christ.”   she emits a sound similar to a squeal from her mouth.   “doesn’t’ that sound super fun? it was my idea. what better way to have free food, free non-alcoholic drinks and bond over our lord and savior?”

“the boss thought it was a good idea to have a marvel event where the kids would have a bunch of super hero tasks to do. a great idea of course but for someone who had to run around all day in a skin tight suit? no thanks, i need orange slices and like three massages.”
