quiche and tell, arts district, 1:17pm

tabs: who was that?

carson: (measured breath) no one i want to talk to right now. (looks up) so, um. did you have a good time last night…

tabs: i did. i really needed that. i’m going to miss you guys.(wrinkles nose) even you, cranky.

carson: (looks down) i’m sorry about that. i didn’t mean to snap–

tabs: it’s ok. i’m over it, but (exhales slowly) i did mean it when i said that you need to sing more.

carson: (leans forward) do i?

tabs: yeah, last night, i forgot how nice your voice is. plus (looks away) i did crack open your laptop with the unnecessarily long and complicated password yesterday.

carson: (rolls eyes) aiyaaa it’s not that long….

tabs: it is if it’s in a completely different language.

carson: ok fair. so…i’m dying to know your thoughts on my new material

tabs: (smiles) i like it. it’s very good…better than the stuff you’ve done with elliot. (quietly) don’t ask me to rip it apart.  

carson: (raises eyebrows) huh…w-was that a compliment?! (stammers) y-you never compliment my stuff.

tabs: (sips coffee) that’s because you’re making stuff i like now.

carson: (scoffs) you say that but one of the songs you played last week at thirsty and miserable was one i touched…

tabs: (shrugs) mm. it was. but i’m gonna be honest; i had the wrong track loaded.

carson: (frowns) and my dumb ass took that as a sign that you wanted to collaborate more…and then (looks away) last week happened.

tabs: (smirks) you’re acting like it was a bad thing…

the tone of tabs’ comment catches him off guard. was she flirting with him?

carson: (raises eyebrows) n-no it wasn’t. listen, i–

carson’s phone vibrates again.

tabs: your phone.

carson: y-yeah

he picks it up and sees the words “DON’T IGNORE ME” flash across the screen.
