910 medina studios, san myshuno, 10:02am
ccarson lam, a man that rises with the sun, has been quietly debating the best way to wake up tabs. he woke up at 8:30am (late for him), running various scenarios on his approach but each one seemed…wrong.
should he try a gentle whisper in her ear? no. too intimate, too sensual and too forward. they’re friends now and that might weird her out.
maybe call out her name? no. too jarring and impersonal. plus she sleeps like a rock…
maybe hmaybe he should just wait for her to wake up naturally? no. she could sleep till 1pm and he’s on the verge of hangry episode.
perhaps a respectful tap from a safe distance away might do it..
at 9:38am, carson decided the respectful tap was the way to go. at 9:41, he tiptoed to the edge of the bed. at 9:49am, he practised his tap. at 9:58 am, he nailed down his technique and at 10:02 am, he attempts to put it in action…
he timidly reaches out and tries to tap tabs’ hand. before he can connect, she snaps it away and shuffles.
tabs: (groggy) w-what are you doing?
carson: (startled) n-nothing! absolutely nothing! (nervous) um j-just hanging out!
clouded with sleep, tabs’ eyes examine carson. she notices he’s fully dressed.
tabs: (confused)hanging out….on the bed….in jeans…in your own home…..(eyes widen) watching me sleep?
carson:(stutters) n–no no no. that’s unsettling and creepy. (laughs uncomfortably) uh…HEY are you hungry? i’m so hungry…
tabs: (murmurs)there’s nothing in your fridge…
carson: (exhales sharply) yeah…and that’s why i’m taking you to brunch!
tabs: (smiles)you’ve already apologized. you don’t have to do this.
carson: i don’t have to but i want to. it’s your last day here. let’s have some fun before you go. (leans forward) hurry up and get ready.
