"… No''
ac_unit
"… No''
"Exactly, so let me change the topic" Nikki says, giving her phone a smug look.
ac_unit
"Fine.. Whatever go ahead change it lol"
Jess nods, thinking.
"What do you do for a living?"
ac_unit
"Um… Right now.. I'm a bartender. "
"Oh, that's fun. Right now I'm an office worker, though I'll probably quit that here soon and start something else" Jess replies.
ac_unit
"An office worker, where do you work? "
Jess snorts.
"A boring insurance place" she sends back.
ac_unit
"Ooo okay is it's just a cubicle office? "
"Yeah. . . why does it seem like you find that interesting?" Jess asks, a bit confused.
ac_unit
"Ah my dad used to work in one of those.. But he worked for a big company, apple I think but I just wanted to see the charm or understand why people work at places like that. "
Jess snorts.
"There is no charm to it, it's all sitting around all day getting yelled at by customers because we don't cover something very specific"
ac_unit
"Hm sounds spectacular, I've never asked why my dad liked apple so much I kinda wish I could ask.. "
"Trust me, the only good part is the money, and there isn't even that much of it" Jess shoots back.
ac_unit
"Yeah.. I got the part about basically no money, my parents got divorced over it.. And my dad was diagnosed with cancer right after. "
(she's lying about her entire backstory goddamn)
Jess pauses.
"I'm sorry about your parents. . ."
ac_unit
(No it's different from this story lol)
"It was like 15 years ago it's okay"
(Ah okay lol)
Jess thinks for a moment.
"Well, if you're sure it's okay"
ac_unit
(No lying lol)
"I was young and it affected me then but not anymore "
(Lol, gtk)
Jess nods to herself.
"I understand that. . . after all, both my parents are dead"
ac_unit
Nikki made somewhat of a pained expression and typed out a response
"Oh.. I'm sorry for your loss that must have been hard. "
Jess shrugs.
"I. . . never really knew my mom. My dad's death was harder on me, since he raised me on his own, and kept up with his daughter's needs"
ac_unit
"oh yeah i barely knew my father he wasn't ever home always working or so he said and my mom…..well she wasn't exactly mother of the year either but i under stand the pain though."
Jess pauses, then sighs to herself.
"Enough of this deppressing talk"
ac_unit
"Okay then what will we talk about? "
"I dunno- what do you want to talk about?" Jess asks.
ac_unit
"I have no idea.. "
Jess sighs and chuckles.
"You're kinda useless when it comes to social interaction, aren't you?"
ac_unit
"short answer…..yes." she laughed and shook her head it was true though
"The long answer is lasting trauma do to generational problems, right?" Jess replies, laughing to herself.
