Week 6 / Wednesday

When Larissa got home late from working with Layna, dinner was waiting on the table for her, cold and unappetising. She sucked it up, ate it quickly, and got to work on her lecture for the next day, making her presentation. Julian was ... where was Julian? A message arrived.

✉ Julian: Hey Babe. I see you’re home. I’m at Hamza’s place helping him pack up
✉ Larissa: He’s moving?
✉ Julian: It’s a long story, but yes, at short notice. A bunch of us are here packing his stuff up
✉ Larissa: He lives with his folks?
✉ Julian: No! This is seriously a batchelor pad here, four guys. It’s a disgrace. None of us let our women come. Yuck
✉ Larissa: Sounds lovely. Thanks for dinner. I see where you are. I’m working on my lecture for tomorrow
✉ Julian: Hope it goes well. Love U
✉ Larissa: Love U2

She’d been going for a couple of hours when she got another message:

✉ Julian: Done here. Gaming. Should I come home?
✉ No hurry, still working

A few minutes later, Lucy sent her their day’s kissing photo. This one was pretty out there: they were on a beach, a crowded one. Probably Bondi, from the background. They were both in just bikini bottoms, sitting and kissing passionately. Unlike their usual photos, someone else took this one from in front of them.

✉ Larissa: Wow. That’s spectacular!
✉ Sarah: Thanks. We found some good friends to sit with
✉ Larissa: I’m glad. How are things?
✉ Lucy: Things are really good!
✉ Larissa: +1. How so?
✉ Lucy: My mum asked me to get our kissing photos. And she liked this one
✉ Larissa: I’m thrilled for you
✉ Lucy: She’s coming to spend a couple of days with us
✉ Larissa: That’s good, yes?
✉ Sarah: That’s very good
✉ Julian: I’m thrilled for you too!
✉ Lucy: Also, I’m starting to improve physically. Just a little, but definite
✉ Larissa: YAY YAY YAY
✉ Julian: That’s awesome, I’m very happy about that
✉ Larissa: You’re not going to change your mind and come back to live here?
✉ Sarah: ROFL
✉ Lucy: NO! We’re having such a good time on the road. It’s awesome
✉ Sarah: Really, we’re having a great time. Big middle finger to the rat race from us
✉ Lucy: And there’s so many girl/girl couples on the road doing van life. We’ve made great friends
✉ Sarah: As I said, it’s better to be lesbian
✉ Larissa: Oh no, it’s better to be a straight girl
✉ Larissa: 1/7 There’s always a man around to kill spiders
✉ Lucy: 10/10 leading from the top!
✉ Sarah: A telling blow
✉ Julian: +1 That’s what I’m for. Killing spiders, fixing things, carrying things
✉ Larissa: I can think of a couple of other things you’re good for
✉ Lucy: +1
✉ Larissa: 2/7 I just have to show him some tit, and I get anything I want
✉ Lucy: 10/10 for your tits
✉ Sarah: +1 and your ass
✉ Larissa: 3/7 I can get laid whenever I want
✉ Lucy: Cannot argue with that one
✉ Sarah: Umm, I can though
✉ Lucy: Not like with a guy. Larissa just has to look at him, and bang!
✉ Sarah: +1 for Bang. Julian really can bang!
✉ Larissa: LOL
✉ Larissa: 4/7 My guy doesn’t want to wear my clothes
✉ Lucy: 0/10 who cares
✉ Sarah: Maybe this matters. Lucy, what is the one thing we had a fight about?
✉ Lucy: Not saying, but maybe this is better than 0/10
✉ Larissa: But I can wear his clothes
✉ Lucy: 7/10 that works
✉ Sarah: +1
✉ Julian: Why can’t I wear your clothes?
✉ Larissa: You’re too big, you giant. Try to keep up, dumbo
✉ Julian: I just got killed, trying to catch up
✉ Lucy: WTF are you doing?
✉ Julian: At a mate’s place gaming
✉ Sarah: LOL
✉ Larissa: Even my thongs, bits of him are too big for them
✉ Lucy: Ooooh I want a photo of him trying
✉ Larissa: Will send you a photo later
✉ Sarah: +1000 for that
✉ Julian: What?
✉ Lucy: LOL
✉ Larissa: 5/7 I’m easy to buy presents for
✉ Julian: Y. M&F sex organs of a plant are preferred
✉ Lucy: WTF? Julian?
✉ Julian: Otherwise known as flowers
✉ Sarah: WTF! You’ve just ruined them for me for life
✉ Julian: Sorry Lucy
✉ Larissa: Lingerie is an acceptable substitute
✉ Lucy: +1000
✉ Sarah: Me too
✉ Larissa: 6/7 I can have a baby whenever I want
✉ Lucy: I have to give you that one
✉ Sarah: Yes, a low but telling blow
✉ Julian: I am as yet untested in that regard
✉ Larissa: +1 we’ll find out one day
✉ Larissa: 7/7 I always get my lover off, and I always know
✉ Lucy: I have to give you that one too
✉ Sarah: Yes, you always have a mess
✉ Larissa: The mess is mine. Physical evidence of our love
✉ Julian: I’m a lucky guy
✉ Lucy: You sure are
✉ Sarah: A very lucky guy
✉ Lucy: That was a strong case, but you haven’t turned us straight
✉ Larissa: That’s OK. You didn’t turn me either
(a gap of 20 minutes)
✉ Larissa: Shit. I just found that I wrote “lingerie” instead of “labrador” on one of my slides because of this thread
✉ Lucy: ROFL
✉ Sarah: My head fell off again
