Chapter 6 ->

Duncan: Hey dude, good to see you.

Alon: Did you finish the book I lent you? I need it back for-

Duncan: What? No, I don’t even remember where I put it, I’ll have to have a look and give it back some other time.

Alon: Okay, but-

Duncan: Never mind that, dude! I need girl advice!

Alon: Look, I’ll level with you. It sounds to me like you’ve made your bed.

Duncan: What?

Alon: You know the expression, you made your bed & now you gotta lie in it.

Duncan: This is such bullshit, I never make the bed. How do I get Aiyanna to forgive me???????????

Alon: Maybe just give it time? Then try talking to her honestly instead of lying all the time.

Duncan: Fuck, dude, that’s pretty solid advice. This is why we’re best friends.

Alon: We’re what now?

Duncan: Pretty impressive that I started out wearing a stupid animal cosutme and now i’m basically a householod name, right? I’m like, a huge deal.

Duncan: Erin! Just the lady I was hopin’ to see tonight.

Erin: Really?

Duncan: Absolutely. Want to dance?

Duncan: Have I ever told you I’m madly in love with you?

Erin: I don’t believe so… have you been drinking?

Duncan: It’s a bar, Erin, of course I’ve been drinking. Doesn’t mean it ain’t true!! I love everything about you. Your ruthless ambition, your beautiful eyes...

Erin: *giggle* I love you too, Duncan. It feels a little crazy saying it, when we’ve only know each other for-

Duncan: Why don’t we make it official, then!

Erin: What, like boyfriend-and-girlfriend?

Duncan: I was thinking more like man and wife.

Erin: I… seriously?

Duncan: I’ve literally never been more serious about anything in my entire life, babe.

Erin: Then… yes!! I’ll marry you!

Duncan: Another drink, please!

Bartender: No way, if you’re drunken-proposal level, you need to be cut off.

Duncan: It’s not a “drunken proposal”! It’s True Love!

I dunno if Erin was my first pick for Duncan, but he actually did roll a proposal want for her and who am I to object? He also actively feared getting married to everyone else he’d ever dated, so who knows! Maybe Erin really is special. We’ll see!

Duncan: You really can’t stay?

Bartender: Sorry, hon. But I’ll be over tomorrow for the wedding.

Duncan: Great! Awesome! I love you!

Duncan: Yo, Aiyanna.

Aiyanna: I’m running out of creative ways to tell you to fuck off.

Duncan: Please talk to me. You don’t have to come inside or anything, we could just sit by the fire. I got marshmallows.

Aiyanna: I do love marshmallows… ugh, is that smell you?

Duncan: Hmm, I figured it was the garbage.

Aiyanna: Pfft, you are garbage. How about you go have a shower, then we’ll talk?

Duncan: Look, I really am sorry about the woohooing-Vivian thing. And uh, the others? I was just screwing around, I didn’t realise you’d get hurt.

Aiyanna: Didn’t realise, or just didn’t care?

Duncan: Uh… when you put it like that, I don’t even know. I guess I wasn’t thinking about it.

Aiyanna: Only thinking of yourself, sounds about right. Did you even mean it when you said you were falling in love with me?

Duncan: I totally meant it!

Aiyanna: I guess… maybe love means something different to me, I dunno. I probably should have clarified we were on the same page or… something. I dunno, I just- whatever, doesn’t matter now. I hope you and her are happy together.

Duncan: Eh, if it’s any consolation I dunno if we’ll be seeing each other again. She was seeing another guy and it kind of weirded me out.
