Lucas
Gotta be quick, but I am pleased to report I walked in on the fireman and Pinky in a compromising position this morning.
Kim
OMG WERE THEY FUCKING???
They were fucking, weren’t they????
Is the firepole big???
Ten bucks says it is.
LUCAS!
Also @swayze @mia Where the hell are you guys???
Lucas
I’m sorry Kim, but why would I give a fuck about the size of his firepole?
Haven
FFS Lucas! No, we were not fucking Kim!
Kim
OMG SO YOU ARE ALIVE? I figured Axel had you handcuffed to his bed posts since, you know, YOU HAVEN’T TEXTED US IN DAYS!
Axel
I’m a firefighter. Not a cop.
Swayze
You can borrow a set of handcuffs if you want bro. I got you.
Axel
Not a bad idea.
Mia
Axel, is that you???? Not leaving us on read?
Can someone do a weather check in hell? I’m pretty sure it’s frozen over.
Kim
There you are.
Have you two kissed and made up yet?
Mia
Whatever, I need to know about this compromising position.
@axel @haven care to share with the class??
Axel
No.
Lucas
You’re such a spoilsport Axeman. I think I liked it better when you left us on read.
Kim
You're not wrong
Axel
Haven
Guys, it feels really stupid to be sitting in the diner texting each other.
Kim
It’s not stupid. It’s INCLUSIVE. Some of us don’t work together, you know?
Mia
So, again…compromising position?
Kim
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY SOMEONE TELL US SOMETHING. JESUS.
Lucas
OK, technically it wasn’t that compromising. But Axel did have his shirt off, which Haven is now wearing. Plus, he legit threw her over his shoulder and carried her out of the kitchen just before…
Lucas
And I’m not deaf. #justsaying
Kim
OMG OMG IT’S REALLY HAPPENING!
Mia
Sooooo, are you guys back together then?
Haven
We were never together! He was my best friend.
Lucas
Ouch Pinky, that’s gotta sting.
Haven
Pinky?
Lucas
Eh, I’m trying it out.
Haven
Let’s not.
Swayze
Someone give me the cliff notes. Are Mom and Dad back together?
Haven
Let’s not do that either.
Lucas
Well, they’ve both just disappeared again and left me sitting here all on my own.
Swayze
Let me get my tiny violin.
Kim
Wait. Disappeared where? Are they banging in the bathroom right now?! OMG I bet they are as well.
Swayze
Lucky fucker. Least he’s getting some.
Mia
Here we go again. Neither of you know the meaning of the word drought. You have a new groupie every week.
Swayze
I’m sorry. You literally have NO idea how wrong you are.
Mia
Friends don’t lie. Are we just gonna pretend I don’t see them do the walk of shame in our apartment?
Kim
No, no. Not this crap again. Until you tell us what the fuck is going on, you two keep this shit out of the chat. I need to know what’s happening in the bathroom. Lucas go stand outside and listen.
Lucas
Fuck no. I’d rather Axel didn’t knock my teeth out before I get my breakfast burrito.
Kim
Ugh fine. But you all suck.
Lucas
Ohh they’re finally headed back this way. Christ, Axel is smiling. Like actually smiling. They totally fucked.
Kim
OMG tell us more @Haven !!!
Axel
Breakfast’s here. Guess you’re shit outta luck.
Kim
Definitely preferred him leaving us on read.
Mia
Seconded.
Swayze
Dirty third.
