Money sure made things easier. That was one thing Connor had realized ever since he’d gotten interested in women. A smile, an offer to buy them lunch, or clothes, and you were basically in. Of course, that wasn’t entirely his goal with Eva. With her, it was more just to get to know her better. He thought it it was weird that she spent so much time around Feliks, and by extension, at their apartment, but that he still didn’t know her very well. They’d hung out a few times, but not often enough, and she was almost a stranger to him, which was weird. Either way, he was happy that he’d managed to coerce her into staying with him. “[color=#ed0000]Sweet, knew all it’d take is ‘I’ll pay.’ Anyway, I think you look plenty presentable, but you always manage to exceed expectations, so honestly, I’m kinda excited to see what ‘presentable’ means.[/color]” Connor shot Eva a wink as he sat back down at the table across from her, messing around with one of the sugar packets absently, then looking down at his phone as it buzzed shortly after Eva’s did. “[color=#ed0000]Oh, hey he texted me too. You know, I’m all for parties and getting smashed, but you guys should try to show [i]some[/i] semblance of restraint. Like, tone down the frequency. Or the severity. Waking up with a hangover all the time has got to suck, right? I only party this hard on Saturdays. Business every other day, you should try it sometime…[/color]” Trailing off, he punched out another text to Feliks as Benji walked up:

[b]To: Feliks ‘I can’t spell his last name’ G-something:

[color=#ed0000]Alright man if you’re sure you’re good. Can’t help but worry sometimes, you know? I’m at the Mighty Bean with Eva and Benji rn. I’ll be back up there in a bit, need my gym clothes. See ya then[/color][/b]

He reached across the table and snatched the gum from Benji, ripping one of the packs open and grabbing one of the small sticks of gum. He unwrapped that as well and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed for a few seconds and let the flavor fill his mouth before he gave a content nod. “[color=#ed0000]Good man. I was going insane without my gum. You know those commercials? How it feels to chew 5 gum? Stimulate your senses? Those should have been for this flavor of gum. Only this one. Wait, otaku table? I’m not [i]that[/i] bad. You got any change for me?[/color]” He asked, holding his hand out expectantly.

“[color=#ed0000]I’m gonna have to finish eating here, to the apartment, change into my gym clothes, run, lift, back to the apartment, shower, change again, then party, then sleep. Man, that sounds way worse when you say it all out like that. Will I even have time to play video games? Find out next time on Connor Ball Z.[/color]” Finishing that, he focused his attention to Eva. “[color=#ed0000]Did you and Feliks do that thing where you get blackout drunk and decide to change everyone’s contact names in your phones? What’s mine? Spill the beans, Eva.[/color]”[/center]
