❝ i wanted to ask if you could stay. ❞ [ –– @fuckindildos . ]
❝ here? ❞ she smiles, near laughs, glancing around as if their surroundings should easily grant an answer. in her defense, she never quite understood the interest in hanging out in empty parking lots; felt like an in-between sort of location, the kind you’d only linger in as long as absolutely necessary. of course, this was an assumption she herself broke, a bit too eager to stay behind when she spotted john on her and barb’s way out.
she casts her gaze over her shoulder, spotting barb slowly maneuvering into the car, throwing a doggy bag they’d grabbed from benny’s burgers into the passenger seat. finishing her, admittedly few, preparations, barb turns her gaze back to nancy and gestures for her to come over. nancy, in turn, waves her off as if to ask for a minute longer, then turns back to john, brows furrowed, though smile still present.
❝ um . . . it’s, like, nine o’clock. ❞ unspoken are the words on a school night, but she at least has the sense to not embarrass herself so completely. ❝ –––– and i’m pretty sure if you keep loitering out here, benny’s gonna kick you out. ❞
