Single File, Ladies

Relationship:  Ever since Edric moved to Chicago for college, his relationship with his mom has gotten a little better. He still feels estranged, but it feels like she’s making an effort to have him in her life. Why else would she invite him to big family dinners with Robert’s family? Or to weekend trips out of the city? He’s not letting it go to his head. He can’t forget that when he was in 3rd grade his mom just up and left the family for another guy. That she stopped talking to the family for years. But he can’t say he doesn’t like the relationship he’s building with her. 

Occupation: Edric is a student at the University of Chicago. He mostly got in due to Robert’s pull, but he’s so glad for the opportunity. His only other option was to go to Greensville Community College. Since starting he’s joined the party frat on campus. And while Edric isn’t a big drinker or drug user, like his frat brothers, he loves a good party. Next year, he plans to run for social chair, so he could plan the best frat parties on campus. 

[scrunches up her nose and laughs] I want to say no, but what kind of person would I be if I denied you that pleasure?

A horrible one. Hehe. Hold on a second. [gets the whipped cream] You went to GHS, didn’t you? 

So you won’t mind if I… [grabs his face and looks him dead in the eye] do this? [licks him]

I can say I wasn’t expecting that, but I'm down for some licking. Do I get to lick you? [smirks]

[repeats what he says and squints her eyes before groaning and hugging her legs close to her chest] Stop, you’re going to give me a headache. [rubs her temples] I mean, technically you did. Right? You’re not lying about the painting? But according to philosophical realism, everything you don’t see or hear probably doesn’t exist. Like… right now you may think there’s a tree outside of this house, but you can’t be 100% sure unless you go outside and see it. Once you’re outside, however, how can you be sure that the room we’re sitting in right now is real?

But [pauses, scratching her head] I’m guessing you didn’t mean it to go that deep, so… I’m going to say yes. As long as you’re not lying about painting it. [shrugs]

I’m going to give you a headache? [chuckles and waves a rolled up piece of paper, which he’s had this whole time, around] No, but I will contradict your philosophical thing with the fact that we live in a society where we live our life online. We want everyone to see everything we do. Everything our friends are not doing. Sometimes we do things JUST so other will see it. So it only really matter if people see it. Anyway, now I have a headache. [chuckles] No. I’m not lying about the painting. Do you wanna see it? [moves the rolled up paper between his fingers]
