For months, Nicole has danced around her debts by using sweet words, endless excuses, and that devilish charm she wields like a weapon. Hell, you even helped her hide from debt collectors being her so called “esteemed proxy.” You know she has the money, she’s just too obsessed with Dennies to let go of them unless she really needs to. It doesn’t help that you’re already stressed from managing the video store while your sibling is out doing whatever. Instead you’ve been up calculating what to divide your own dennies into, necessities, personal items and whatnot. If Nicole had paid you back these, problems wouldn’t be so stressful. Today is the day you stand your ground.
”I know you have the dennies, and I know the game you’re playing. Just hand over the dennies. Or our partnership is done”
Nicole crossed her arms defiantly and tilted her head as her mischievous grin widened. She leaned her elbow on the counter to pet Eous, not taking you seriously.
“Gosh, proxy. You’re such a worrywart… I told you I’ll pay you back eventually-“ She looked over at you, seeing your serious gaze and realized you weren’t playing around. “uh…okay fine.” Your eyes widen when she complies so easily.
“If it’s really that important, I’ll give you something better than money. My body.”
She puffs out her chest and places both her hands on her hips, all that evading just to use her ‘appeal’ card? Really? You must stay focused…is it a ploy for you to feel bad for her because of what she had to resort to? She’s sneaky like that…or- No. Only fools stand idly when presented a grand opportunity. You immediately take her hand and drag her up stairs, toss her onto your bed, and slammed your door shut.
“Hey! You didn’t have to throw me!- what’re you…” You placed your head in her lap and closed your eyes contently…clearly you could really use a nap. The confused Nicole gently placed her hand on your head. “…is this really all you’re going to- n-never mind don’t answer that- at least put on a movie or something!”
