The Monitor Masquerade

Flashback Cut Scene

GraceKelli's POV

One of the things I hated the most about Prince was his shitty mic. He has a killer computer but refuses to get a new microphone. This was one of the times when I was ready to just hang up the phone.

"-o n- th-s I -t -ss uo?"

"Prince for the one hundredth time I can't understand what the fuck you are saying." This was a regular problem that the guys and I talked about all the time. We were planning on all pitching in and getting him a new headset all together. Prince tried again but the same distorted noise came out. "Look disconnect your headset and connect it. You're giving me a head ache." It had been a day since we fell asleep on the phone. I woke up and panicked since I had heard breathing. When I remembered what had happened I hung up the call. I had told him my phone died sometime that night. He believed it.

"Can you hear me now?" Said a familiar fuzzy voice.

"I'll live."

"So as I was saying. I get to kiss you now."

"The fuck you don't!" My face turned red and my heart sped up.

"Yeah I made it farther in Five Nights so when I see you in person I get to give you a big gross-"

"I'd rather eat gravel."

"You don't say that to Romeo."

"Yeah well you aren't Romeo so...no problem there."

"What if he just walked up and kissed you. Like hand around your waist shit. Like in the movies."

"I would die."

"Oh come on. Be real with me Grace."

"I'm pretty sure I would pass out."

"Really?"

"Really. Which would be mortifying."

"Yeah that would be pretty bad."

"It's good to know what will never happen."

"You never know Grace."

"Yeah why would he date me."

"Because you are super awesome."

"I'm shy."

"So? Maybe he likes that."

"No. He's dating like the loudest girl ever."

"I would date you."

For the first time I felt shy talking to Prince. Those four words made my breath stop for a second. The earth seemed to lose it's oxygen. I was helpless to the moment. The chest started to tighten. I couldn't talk. I felt my heart beat get more and more violent but I couldn't make any sound come out of me. I guess Prince knew I wasn't going to say anything so he just kept talking.

"I mean as long as you're hot. I only date tens."

The oxygen flooded back in me. I knew deep down it wasn't but I reassured myself that he was joking. "Is that why you are still with that girl? You haven't found another ten?"

"No she's an eight on a good day. I'm just holding out for the ten."

"You are such a horrible person."

"Yeah but I'm really good in bed so it all works out in the end."

I rolled my eyes. I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if I ever did meet Prince in real life. I would probably never even know since I can barely make out what his voice sounds like from his shitty headset. 

Maybe I did want to meet Prince.
