The Adventures of Megumi and Toji

Carta pt. 2

*Time Skip*

The phone in Amari's pocket vibrated. She almost ignored it, thinking that it must be Toji. It was pretty late at night...which is when Toji usually preys on his victims.

"Hmm." She mumbled quietly as she reached into her pocket and pulled the phone out. She checked the caller id, then decided to answer the phone.

She pressed a finger against her ear and held the phone up to the opposite one. "Hello!"

"Hey Cutie! What are y- Why is it so damn loud!?"

"Ugh. It's Christmas break and my professor for my online classes invited me out for a drink!"

"What?! That is so unprofessional! Is he trying to get some!?"

"Satoru...she's a girl."

"Oh yea right. That totally changes everything cuz you're totally NOT gay or anything- IS SHE TRYING TO GET SOME?!"

Amari winced as he screamed through the phone. "No! My goodness! She invited all the girls in the class out for drinks cuz she found out her husband was her sister's baby daddy. So we are celebrating the divorce."

"MEN AIN'T SHIIIT!" The woman next to her screamed into the phone.

"YEAAAA THEY AIN'T SHIT! YOU GET IT GIRL!" Gojo screamed back. "....Who was that by the way?"

Amari sighed. "That's the professor I was just talking about." She pulled her phone away from her ear and muted it. "Someone make sure she has a designated driver! Please!"

She unmuted herself and continued speaking to Gojo. "So what did you want?"

"Nothing...just wanted to hear your voice. Mwah!" He blew a kiss...virtually. Corny, but corny worked on Amari if it was coming from Gojo.

She smiled in response. "Aww...really?"

"Well of course!" He paused for a few seconds. "...I also need you to take Megumi to the amusement park this week."

"You motherf- So there WAS a reason you were calling me?!"

"Nooo! I just happened to remember something right AFTER I called you just to hear your beautiful voice."

"As if! Ugh, I'm assuming you told him you were going to take him there but work got in the way?"

Gojo clicked his tongue. "Yeaaa, but also no. Well...I'm planning something. This week is his birthday and stuff."

"Aww you actually planned something for him instead of ditching him on his birthday for the 4th time!?"

"...Okay that was cruel."

"Not as cruel as what you did."

"I had work!"

"So did I! I called off at the time!"

"Look...I feel guilty. I really do. I'm planning on working overtime so that I can make it. I'm even letting Toji in on the plan. I want everyone to be there having a good time...it's been awhile."

She took a sip from her glass as she heard his remorse. "Fine. I'll take him."

He chuckled in response. "You really are something."

Her eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean?"

"You'd do anything for my Meg. It makes me happy."

"Technically, he's my kid now with all the work I do for him."

"Yea yea whatever. I just thought I should let you know. You're so determined and very loyal to your duties. You're always willing to work through any issues and you're always there for him. Those are some really good qualities to have."
