Victor?
No nickname now?
I just wanted to be sure that this was your number, otherwise it would be an akward conversation. Don't you think?
A bit.
So... What are you up to tonight?
I was attempting homework but found myself distracted.
What by?
... My mother. She was in the kitchen and we started talking.
What's she like?
Strange. She has always treated me as an adult, ever since I was a child. She treats me like a friend not a son.
But you get along? Otherwise she wouldn't distract you.
We get along now, after I got out of high school and came back home.
You went to boarding school didn't you? Rich kid.
I did. It wasn't as good as people think it is. Less academia and more rules.
I'm learning so much about you.
Well you never asked before, it's not like I hide it.
I was at work before, had to put on airs. Now I can ask all my questions.
Right, what about my questions?
Fire away.
Right. Uh... Favourite colour?
So inquisitive. Such a deep and personal question. It's red by the way.
Oh nice. Mines blue.
Right, so I have some stuff to do before I head to bed. I'll talk to you later.
Laughing isn't polite Klair.
Sorry. I do have to go though.
Alright, bye then.
