Nerissa & Q

Indifferent

❝Welcome to Cafe Grind, if this is Q I'll need you to hang up the phone because I refuse to talk about the incident yesterday. If this is not Q, how may I help you?❞

"I'm hurt m'lady, I thought we were making progress together."

❝No. Anyway, what would you like? Your usual?❞

"For once, no, I just wanted to talk to you."

❝About?❞

"Goals."

❝I am going to be honest, I know nothing about sports, that includes soccer. However, I still watch the Olympics every four years even though I don't know what is going on half of the time.❞

"Noted, but no, I meant your goals in life."

❝Oh, um, well I want to be a tattoo artist.❞

"A tattoo artist? That's hot."

❝Quentin! Unnecessary commentary!❞

"Ignore me, just thinking out loud. Why do you want to be a tattoo artist?"

❝I've always been fond of the backstories that come with the idea from the person getting the tattoo. I want to be able to do their backstory justice by making a tattoo they will cherish for the rest of their lives. ❞

"That's really interesting, I don't even know what I want to do except travel and learn things through experience."

❝The traveler and tattoo artist, I like that.❞

"You like that? Or you like us?"

❝Shut up.❞

"No, no, no m'lady. Admit it, you liiiiiiike me."

❝Just because you extend the word doesn't make it true.❞

"Are you suuuuuure?"

❝Now you're just being annoying. Where do you want to travel?❞

"Tokyo, Paris, England, and to Cafe Grind."

❝I understand the first three, all beautiful places, but why the Cafe?❞

"There's a beautiful girl there. Aka you."

❝I'll admit, that was smooth, but no.❞

"Stop playing hard to get."

❝Then stop being hard to not want.❞

"Nerissa..."

❝Yes?❞

"You know that you'll get everything you want in life right?"

❝...Why do you believe that?❞

"I have hope. Don't you?"

❝No really, no. Not for my goals in life. It's not particle to my parents.❞

"Who cares what they think? It's your life. You do what you want with it."

❝...It doesn't change the fact that-❞

"I am now taking it upon myself to make sure that you have hope. Starting now."

❝Good luck with that.❞

"I don't need luck. I need you."

❝You need me?❞

"I meant! I need you to believe in yourself! That's what I meant!"

❝Quentin...?❞

"Well this was fun, I must be going now, bye!"

❝Okay?❞
