A/N: Second half of update! (Again, I'm sUPER sorry for not updating yesterday :') pls don keel me)
----
The clock on the wall of the We Know building ticked softly, the hands reading '11:28'. Normally, by this time of night Avery would have nothing to do but listen to that ticking. Ticking, ticking that would have bothered her to no end, but this time she was already occupied.
"What do you mean you 'kind of' texted your girlfriend? You either did or you didn't.”
"Okay, okay, calm down. I did text her, but she never replied.”
"Well, what did you say?”
" ... ”
"...Hotline Guy?”
" ... "
"What did you say to her?”
"I said...hi...”
" 'HI'?!?”
"I see where I went wrong no need to point it out now.”
" Have you not listened to anything I have said to you?”
"Oh no, I was listening. I just wasn't paying attention.”
" Well what were you paying attention to, may I ask? ”
"The sound of your rich, sultry voice.”
" Flattery like that will get you to only a few places.”
"Like where?”
"You think I would tell you where I hide all my bodies?”
" I've told you before, I'm not a snitch.”
"Well, it's not just snitches that get stitches, Hotline Guy. It's anyone I don't like.”
"Luckily for me, you like me, so we don't have a problem.”
" Ha, in your dreams we don't!”
"I don't know of any problems.”
"How about the fact that you keep calling a relationship hotline, but you don't ask the nice ladies that work there relationship questions!”
"Fine, I have a question.”
" Ask away.”
"Since my girlfriend doesn't feel like answering me, how often do you think it's cool to text her? Like how often can I text her without looking like a...”
"Desperate, wimpy, pathetic, shameless, pining fool?”
"Yes!”
Avery snorted.
"Uh, I mean no! No no no! I'm not a fool...”
"Keep telling yourself that, Buddy.”
Avery joked, but the grin that had spread across her face was fading. She wished her boyfriend would be a desperate fool and call her.
"You could keep telling me, late at night. Hehe.”
"You're such a pervert.”
" Just...ugh just answer my question!”
"I think you could probably get away with once a week, at least until she starts answering, at that point you could text every other day and call on the other ones.”
" Once a week, got it.”
"Just don't say something like 'Hi',” Avery scoffed playfully, "amateur.”
"I know what you think of me, you don't have to give me a refresher every time I talk.”
"But if I dont, you might forget.”
"Oh trust me, that won't happen any time soon.”
"Not on my watch, it won't.”
"NOT on my watch. NOT on my watch.”
Avery laughed remembering the vine compilations that she had stayed up watching with her boyfriend. He got so obsessed with them that he had even bought himself a hoodie that said 'has never went to oovoo javer' on it. She stole it from him and she still wears it around her apartment sometimes.
" So you're from the vine era too? I guess that means you can't be much older than I am.”
"How old are you, by the way?”
"Twenty two.”
"Ah, I am twenty five.”
"Ew, old. I bet you already have grey hairs.”
" I'm only three years older than you!”
"Yeah well, a lot can happen to a person in three years.”
"Now that I'm thinking about it, I should be the one advising you! I mean, I've got three years more experience under my belt.”
"Maybe on how to annoy people.”
"Must you remind me every time?”
"Must you NEED to be reminded?”
"Ahem!”
" I'm not going to take it back.”
"I see how it is. I'm never going to call you again!”
" FINALLY! ”
"Actually, you know what? I'm going to call every day, every hour and just do this the whole time: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE--”
"Okay, you can stop that now.”
"Oh I don't know, I think I want to keep going. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE--”
"You know this is only going to hurt you in the long run. Whether you call or not, I'm still getting paid and you are the one paying.”
"Whatever...now I know this may come as a shock to you, but I've got to go now, I've got a thing in the morning.”
"Okay.”
"No need to be so broken up about it, I'll be back tomorrow night.”
"Oh joy.”
"Haha I know you love me.”
" I'm bursting at the seams, can't you tell?”
"Thanks, Bae.”
"You're welcome, definitely-NOT-bae! And thank you for calling We Know. If you need any other assistance please DO hesitate to call again!”
"Why do I even call you?”
" I honestly don't even know.”
"Well, talk to you later.”
" Please don't. ”
