"H-Hi.." Pearl shakingly answered
"Hello,you dialed the local church...how can we bless your day?"
"Uh...hi.." she looked around to make sure her mother wasn't near
"Hello again,ma'am..the church is closed,can I help you?"
"Yes,actually..I,I need to speak with
Y/N...""I'm afraid Y/N is a little busy...I'll leave a message if you'd like? Who's looking for her?"
"Pearl...I'm Pearl."
"Alright,Pearl..I'll let her know you ca-"
Then someone came into the room
"What are you doin' sister Bertha?" said the nun
"I'm takin' a call for Y/N,sister.."
"Who could possibly be needin' Y/N? I thought she had no one but us?"
"Yeah,it's scratching my brain too.."
"Well who's lookin' for her?"
"Someone named Pearl..it's not ringing a bell,do you know her?"
"I don't think so-"
Then Y/N came in the room
"What are you two doin' in here?..I just dusted.." said Y/N,a little disappointed that she has to reclean
"Someone was looking for you..a Pearl?"
"Who's that,Y/N? I thought the father told you..no friends allowed." The sister smirked
Y/N widened her eyes and ran to the phone "Just go away! It's none of your business!"
"Jeez..we were only askin'..."
Y/N snatched the phone and shooed them out of the room "Pearl? Is that you..?"
"Y/N?! Oh thank God..I was startin' to think I'd never get a hold of you.."
"The sisters have never bothered to pick up the phone until now...everyone's loosin' sight of themselves.." Y/N chuckled
"Ha..well,anyway...I was callin' to ask if you'd wanna come over? My mama's drivin' me crazy.."
"I don't know,Pearl...would she want me there..?"
"She's makin' me do farm work cuz' she never goes in here..I'll just sneak you in here and you'll keep me company while I work.." said Pearl with a hopeful smile
"That sounds fun..Let me just finish up here in the church and I'll be on my way..where do you live?"
"Up the corn fields.."
"Alright,I'll be on my way.."
"Alright..s-see ya,Y/N.."
"See ya,Pearl.." said Y/N as she set the phone back down.She sighed,rethinking if she overreacted at the nuns...if she gave herself and what she was doing at the grocery runs away.
Oh...and speak of the devil..
"Who's Pearl?" said the sister as she walked back in the room.
Y/N clutched her heart in fear...not aware that she was possibly being over-heard on the phone with someone she's not really supposed to be on the phone with.
"Like I said...it's none of your business." said Y/N and proceeded to walk away.
"Oh,but it is...see my business is to watch over you,you know...see if you're doin' your job..which,you're not.You're takin' calls on the clock..that ain't acceptable,Y/N."
Y/N scoffed as she stopped in her tracks "No,your business and your JOB is prayin'...which,you're not...you're wanderin' around on the clock." she rested her chin on her broom "Here's a proposal...why don't you clap your hands together and pray for me,hm?"
"I might aswell,you know...after that little stunt you pulled with me."
"When I hit on you?...I didn't know doin' charity was such a bad thing.."
"Charity...? excuse me?!"
"Yeah,I mean..come on,sister..you're a nun,we all know you ain't been gettin' no action.." Y/N chuckled
The nun crossed her arms "Yeah?! Well-Well,you're one to talk! Your only source of communication is when the Father sends you on those grocery runs! And I know it's been hittin' hard..with the influenza and all...the numbers decreasing." she smirked
Y/N smirked back "Yeah...the numbers may be decreasing but atleast I'm still talkin' to actual people..not just someone I.. she waved her hand up in the air tend to believe is there.."
The nun gasped in disbelief "How dare you! you are so gettin' in trouble for that.."
Y/N sighed and continued to sweep "Go on,tell the Father...we all know why you run to him for everything.."
"He is my boss-!"
"Yeah,yeah..WE all know you like him,sister...I mean,haven't you caught yourself yet?..you know,doin' a lot more ass-kissin' lately..." she smirked
"Ass-kissin'?! I'm just tellin' him about your awful behaviour!"
"And I'm grateful,honored really..to be your only source of communication with him."
"Shut your stupid mouth!"
"Are you sure? If I keep it up you'll have more chances to whine on him..and who knows,maybe the Lord will look past a kiss on the cheek at the end of the day.." Y/N laughed,tormenting the sister with the truth.
The nun gritted her teeth then turned towards the door as she saw an opportunity "Father!"
"Oh,here we go again..."
