deception (Karl Jacobs)

Chapter four

I spun around in my chair as I tried to come up with new ideas for streams for the smp, but I was feeling blocked for new ideas. I shut my eyes as I leaned back in my chair. My phone chimed and I grabbed it, hoping it was someone who could give me something better to do.

"Hi gogy!" I smiled at him through the phone,
"Hi Karl..busy today?" George asked me and I shook my head, "Nope, i'm kind of bored. Trying to think of some new stuff for the smp but im at a loss.."
"Oh don't stress too much about that..go do something fun since you're not working!" George suggested and I shrugged, "Or I could lay in bed with Grey and watch survivor!" I smiled widely, "You're not busy today?" I asked George, he shrugged,
"Meh..mostly bored, it's raining here." I frowned, "That sucks..I enjoy the rainy weather though.."
"It's always raining here though! I wouldn't mind it if it was once in a while.." George mumbled, "I'm probably just going to nap.." He grinned at me and I nodded, "Of course you are..don't crash too hard, then you'll be up all night.."
"When am I not up all night? Besides, im supposed to stream with Sulley soon, maybe I could just stream with her tonight if she's up.."
"Sulley? The faceless streamer?" I raised an eyebrow and George nodded, "have you streamed with her yet?" I rolled my eyes, "Not yet, not ever. She sucks."
George's eyes widened, "She seems very cool Karl. She streamed with Dream and the others yesterday. Did you miss that? It was so funny. I cant wait to stream with her.." I felt like hanging up the phone to be quite honest, obviously I wouldn't but I was getting very annoyed at the topic and I think George could tell, "Why do you say she sucks..?"
"I dunno, just some old stuff...it doesn't matter."
"It must, you're not the type to hate someone." George chuckled and I shrugged, "I just don't understand why she's so cool apparently.." I picked up my doctor pepper and took a nice sip.
"She's kind of exactly like you..Karl.." George explained, I laughed, "Yeah right."
"Anyways, i'm going to let you go Karl, my pillow is seducing me.." He grinned and I laughed, "Yeah okay..have a goodnight George!" I waved happily and hung up.

I got up from my gaming chair and sighed as I tried to find something to do. I scrolled through instagram and noticed a bath and body works ad being sponsored, NEW FALL CANDLES.
I shot up with joy, hurrying to pick up my phone and call Chandler. "COME BUY CANDLES WITH ME!"
Chandler laughed, "It's one thirty on a Wednesday and you want to go candle shopping?"
"Exactly. I'll pick you up in five. bye!" I hungup the phone and hurried to grab my car keys.

"Chandler im telling you, this is going to be some epic candle smells.." I smiled widely as I drove into the mall parking lot. "Yeah, maybe I could buy my first candle.." I turned to Chandler with a wide jaw, "What the heck! You've never bought a candle before?" He shook his head, "Then this will be the first.." I parked my car and climbed out with excitement, Chandler followed me as I lead us to bath and body works.

As we stepped into bath and body works Chandler grabbed a candle and smelt it, his eyes going to the back of his head and I made a disgusted face, Chandler continued, "What the honk stop!" I chuckled loudly and Chandler looked at me with a wide grin. I looked around the candle shop, and my eyes met those of a brown eyed girl. She quickly broke the gaze and I stared at her for another moment, her short black hair fell at her shoulders, she was speaking to her friend, and I swallowed hard as I studied her. "Karl..Candles?" Chandler interrupted my clouded mind, and I turned to him,
"Right..im sorry.." I mumbled as I stepped closer to candles, and began smelling them. I looked up to find the girl again and she was no longer where she stood a moment ago.

I stepped away from Chandler for a moment, making my way over to where the girl stood before, I picked up a spiced apple candle, taking a sniff of it, it smelt so good. I shut the lid and decided I wanted it, I turned around and felt myself bump into someone. I held their arm as I looked down, it was her. "Sorry about that.." I spoke softly and she smiled with a small shrug, "No worries..I was just putting this back.." She held up a spiced apple candle and I furrowed my eyebrows at her, "Don't like it?"
"No..im obsessed, but I'm trying to convince myself not to buy the whole store.." She smiled nervously and I smiled back, "I think you should, you can never have too many candles." she looked down at the six candles in my arms and chuckled lightly, I looked down at her arms now, she was holding six too. "Maybe you're right..i'll just put some in my closet.." I chuckled now too, hoping I wasn't being too awkward with her, at least, that she couldn't notice I was. "I have candles in my closet.." I admitted to her and she grinned, "See. Great minds think alike right?" I smiled at her, nodding, "exactly."
"Anyways..i'm going to go pay for my totally necessary candles, and maybe i'll see you around.. "
"Great..have a good day.." I smiled at her as she turned around making her way to the cash.
I made my way back to Chandler with flushed cheeks, and I realized, I didn't even get her name..
