Connor
From the bar. You said I had nice dimples. You gave me your number…
BlondeHottie
Haha sorry buddy she slipped you fake digits :(
Connor
You sure you’re not a hot blonde with a tight body?
BlondeHottie
I am definitely all of those things but I was not at the bar last night.
Connor
So…where were you?
BlondeHottie
Kind of a stalkerish question don’t you think?
Connor
Just thought maybe I could change my luck. When life gives you lemons…
BlondeHottie
Break out the salt and tequila?
BlondeHottie
Easy there dimples put the shot glasses away.
Connor
What are you doing tonight?
BlondeHottie
Ending this conversation.
BlondeHottie
Are you actually trying to pick me up?
BlondeHottie
Dimples you would need an industrial crane to pick me up.
BlondeHottie
Haha! No I just don’t go for your type.
Connor
My type?!? We’ve never even met!
BlondeHottie
I’ve met you a million times before. Drunk frat guy. Horny bro in the bar with his hat backwards and huge biceps about to rip his tight shirt open. Grabbing any girl that walks past him on the dancefloor.
Connor
You forgot the Chinese writing tattoo on the arm.
BlondeHottie
Of course! How could I forget? The tattoo that says Serenity or Peace but the guy is trying to pick a fight with every guy that walks by.
BlondeHottie
I’m falling in love over here.
Connor
I was being sarcastic.
Connor
You got me all wrong. I was there for my sister’s birthday. I don’t usually do the whole bar scene.
BlondeHottie
What scene do you do?
Connor
Kind of a stalkerish question don’t you think?
BlondeHottie
Dimples I’m all stalker. I’m outside your window right now.
Connor
Lol. Then I better answer you so you don’t kill me…I usually keep it low key. There’s a coffee shop on 6th Avenue that I usually hang out at.
BlondeHottie
Shut up! I go there all the time. I love the live music. It helps me write.
BlondeHottie
Aspiring writer. Can I still call myself a writer if I don’t get paid?
Connor
You can call yourself whatever you want.
BlondeHottie
What do you call yourself?
Connor
But mostly Connor.
BlondeHottie
Connor??? I’ll stick with Dimples.
Connor
What about you Shakespeare? What’s your name?
BlondeHottie
Rebecca. My friends call me Becca.
Connor
What do your boyfriends call you?
BlondeHottie
The one that got away.
Connor
Too long. I’ll stick with Shakespeare. I’m changing it in my phone now.
Shakespeare
So what do you do Dimples when you’re not going through the phone book and messaging random girls for a date?
Connor
You mean besides when I’m not groping girls on the dancefloor?
Connor
I do a lot. I’m a dolphin trainer, firefighter, pediatrician and environmental scientist. That’s when I’m not running the orphanage for abandoned children.
Shakespeare
If I had half the imagination you do I’d be a best-selling writer.
Connor
Come on a date with me and I’ll let you pick my brain ;)
Shakespeare
I’m afraid of what I’d find in there…
Connor
All sunshine and rainbows Shakespeare. I promise.
Shakespeare
So do you actually have a job or are you a professional bullshitter?
Connor
I’m a struggling artist. Like you.
Shakespeare
Don’t feel too bad Dimples. Even Van Gogh ate out of trash cans :)
Shakespeare
Weapon of choice?
Shakespeare
So why are you wasting all of this time with me? Aren’t there a legion of groupies waiting backstage for you?
Connor
Not playing stadiums just yet. Only coffee shops.
Shakespeare
Wait a minute! Have you ever played at Express-O???
Shakespeare
Are you the brown haired guy with the City and Color sticker on his guitar?
Connor
Don’t forget the dimples.
Shakespeare
I mean…your music is great.
Shakespeare
Did I actually capitalize love? Hehe sorry.
Connor
Would you like to be my first groupie Shakespeare?
Shakespeare
I was there last week. You are really good! I loved your acoustic version of Monster.
Connor
You were there?!? This is so crazy!
Shakespeare
Almost like fate…if one believed in such a ridiculous notion.
Connor
Where were you sitting?
Shakespeare
By the window. I was alone.
Connor
The blond with the yellow notebook and the chewed up pencil?
Shakespeare
It was only a little chewed up.
Connor
Please! The eraser was eaten and you gnawed your way down to the lead!
Shakespeare
My weapon of choice has seen some battle wounds, I’ll admit. Sign of a frustrated writer.
Connor
You didn’t seem too frustrated on Thursday. You were writing up a storm after my set.
Shakespeare
I was inspired.
Shakespeare
It touched me. It was beautiful. The words came pouring out onto the page afterwards.
Connor
Could the drunken frat boy from the bar possibly be your muse?
Shakespeare
I’m in trouble if he is.
Connor
I think the feeling was mutual.
Connor
I was watching you scribble furiously on the page and I got inspired. I sat in the janitor’s closet in the back and wrote a song. The notes and lyrics just flowed into my head already fully formed. That’s never happened before.
Shakespeare
Could the bitch who gave you the wrong number possibly be your muse?
Connor
We’re both in trouble if she is.
Shakespeare
When do I get to hear this song?
Connor
When do I get to read this story?
Shakespeare
Looks like it’s going to be a Mexican standoff.
Connor
I texted you so I’ll go first. Come to Express-O tonight. They have an open mic at eight. I’ll go up and sing you the song and then you can read me your story.
Connor
Come on Shakespeare I have a swarm of groupies waiting for me…I don’t have all night…
Shakespeare
Alright Dimples. 8:00.
Connor
Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Shakespeare
You can quote Shakespeare? I’m impressed.
Shakespeare
Save some charm for tonight Dimples. You’re going to need it.
Connor
Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.
Shakespeare
8:00 Romeo. 8:00.
