DAMNED GRAY SWEATPANTS
36
Nate : Those shorts are killing me, sweetness.
Prudence : You’re not wearing shorts.
Nate : No. Your shorts are killing me.
Prudence : … You’re not wearing my shorts.
Nate : Oh my god. The sight of you wearing those shorts.
Prudence : Come on, you can barely see me from your seat.
Nate : I’ve seen you from the house until we boarded the plane. It was enough to torture me.
Prudence : You’re one to talk!
Nate : What?
Prudence : Gray sweatpants? Really?
Nate : What’s wrong with Gray sweatpants? They’re comfy.
Prudence : Yeah, like you don’t know.
Nate : I… Don’t?
Prudence : Well, it’s killing me.
Nate : …
Nate : Wanna hook up in the bathroom?
Jack : Why are you smiling like a lovestruck teenager?
Nate : Shut up.
Jack : I’m bored and she still won’t tell me about the two of you. Pleeeeaaase, entertain me.
Jack : Ikram says Hi.
Nate : As long as she doesn’t want to tell you, I won’t either.
Nate : Hi Ikram.
Jack : But you already did!
Jack : Kind of.
Nate : I told you how I felt to make sure you knew that I was not playing her.
Jack : Same thing.
Jack : So how was the date?
Nate : Not telling you.
Jack : I’ll ask Nuri.
Nate : I haven’t told her either.
Jack : But Prue might have!
Nate : You know, when she finds out you know, and everyone knows you know, she’ll be upset.
Jack : Tell her I know, so we can stop this nonsense.
Nate : I won’t. She’ll talk to you when she feels like it.
Jack : The wait is agony.
Nate : You drama queen…
Jack : Get used to it.
Nate : If Jack asks, don’t tell him anything.
Nuri : What are you talking about?
Nate : He wants to know how our date went.
Nate : If Prue tells you about it, not a word to Jack.
Nuri : You guys are giving me a headache.
Nate : Just promise you won’t tell him.
Nuri : Fine, I won’t.
Nate : So… You know, then?
Nuri : Of course I know!
Nate : God.
Nuri : Come on, don’t be embarrassed.
Nuri : Remember that I’ve heard it all when it comes to you.
Nuri : But I would have expected you to be prepared…
Nate : I want to die.
Nate : Let’s never talk about it again.
Nuri : You’re no fun.
Prudence : Thanks for covering for me.
Evie : Sure, no problem.
Evie : You’re alright next to the weird old lady?
Evie : It looks like she’s dead on your shoulder.
Prudence : Definitely breathing.
Prudence : She snores.
Evie : Sucks that the plane was nearly full and we couldn’t get seats all together.
Prudence : Yeah, well. Jack booked them at two in the morning. Which left us with a few hours to sleep, pack, and take a cab to the airport.
Prudence : That damn L.A traffic… It was too short notice.
Evie : I still can’t believe we’re all going to Aspen to visit your fucked up family.
Prudence : Neither can I.
Prudence : But Jack insisted.
Evie : Why?
Prudence : He wants to talk to our parents one more time. It’s on his list. And with our father in the hospital, I think he’s afraid he’ll miss his chance if we don’t go now.
Evie : Oh…
Prudence : Yeah.
Prudence : But Nate and I will try to escape one night for another date. Will it be okay if you cover for me again?
Evie : Yeah, sure :)
Prudence : I’ve seen you roll your eyes.
Prudence : Why did you roll your eyes?
Evie : Sorry
Evie : I just feel like you should tell Jack.
Prudence : Not yet.
Prudence : It’s too new.
Prudence : And I really like Nate, but even if Jack is Okay with all this, I don’t want him to be disappointed if for some reasons it doesn’t work.
Evie : Yeah. I get it.
Evie : But don’t take too long…
Prudence : Yeah… I know.
Evie : So you guys going on another date, uh?
Nate : How do you know?
Nate : Even I don’t know exactly when…
Evie : Prue asked me to cover for her sometime this week.
Evie : Of course, it’s not needed as Jack knows already…
Nate : Give her time.
Evie : I know.
Evie : Hopefully soon we can all come clean and hang out together. Maybe you guys will go on double dates, and I’ll occasionally join.
Nate : That would be fun, meeting every week the new person that catches your interest.
Evie : Are you judging me? I can’t tell…
Nate : I’m not.
Nate : I’m genuinely intrigued.
Evie : I don’t like my love and sex life to become a routine. I like what’s new, what’s exciting.
Evie : We can’t all be hung up on someone for ten years.
Nate : Wow, low blow.
Jack : I’m sorry if I ruined your girl’s night with Evie yesterday.
Prudence : It’s alright.
Prudence : We can hang out again in Aspen.
Jack : Of course. I’ve booked four rooms in a hotel. Ikram and I will share one, and you guys will have one each. But if you want to share with Evie…
Prudence : No it’s fine. I think she’ll prefer having a room of her own, in case she brings company.
Jack : Sure.
Jack : I couldn’t place all of us on the same floor. Ikram, Evie, and I will be on the first, and both you and Nate will be on the third.
Jack : Evie prefers showers and there are none on the third floor… You okay sharing a corridor with Nate?
Prudence : Why wouldn’t I be?
Jack : I don’t know, just asking.
Prudence : And it’s just for a few nights.
Jack : Two, to be precise.
Prudence : Yeah.
Jack : Okay.
Prudence : Is it me or are you acting weird?
Jack : I’m not!
Jack : Just anxious. About going home, you know.
Prudence : Oh… Yeah, sorry.
Jack : I’m gonna turn off my phone and make out with Ikram.
Prudence : Lucky you for not being seated next to a drooling old lady.
Jack : Perks of being an invalid.
Prudence : Don’t call yourself that.
Nate : Still not interested in joining the mile high club?
Nate : Did you just blush?
Prudence : Stop turning around, Jack will notice!
Nate : He’s too busy to notice anything.
Nate : I can almost hear them sucking each other’s face two rows behind me.
Prudence : At least no one is drooling on their shoulder.
Nate : Shouldn’t you poke her to check if she’s still alive?
Prudence : She’s snoring, so she’s still breathing.
Nate : Do you want to switch seats?
Prudence : And have her drooling all over you?
Prudence : No way. She has no ring, she’ll try to make a move.
Nate : Are you jealous?
Prudence : Hell yeah. Maybe she’s rich and you’ll ditch me for the sugar baby lifestyle.
Nate : You’re right. Too risky.
Nate : Maybe her drooling on my shoulder will make me fall in love instantly and then I’ll be hung up on her for a decade.
Nate : But we’ll never see each other again because her son doesn’t approve of my feelings.
Prudence : Ah. Ah.
Prudence : Very funny, smartass.
Nate : I thought too.
Nate : So, as I don’t see you heading to the bathroom, I’m guessing it’s a no for the mile high club?
Prudence : Do you really want us to have sex for the first time in a plane’s bathroom?
Nate : I’m prepared to.
Nate : Literally.
Nate : Like, I have a condom in each of my pockets, my wallet, and a whole box in my suitcase to scatter them everywhere we go.
Prudence : You’re insane.
Nate : I heard you laugh.
Prudence : Insane can still be funny.
Nate : You caught me by surprise yesterday.
Nate : I don’t want it to happen again.
Prudence : Was it really that bad?
Nate : You’re serious?
Nate : You made me come in my damned pants, Sweetness.
Nate : You came rubbing yourself against me.
Nate : It’s already in the top 3 of the best things that happened to me.
Nate : It could have been top 1 if I’d been prepared.
Nate : Because the only way to make what happened yesterday better, is for me to be buried inside of you, and actually feel you come and clench around me. Also entirely naked would be a huge bonus. I loved the playsuit, don’t get me wrong, but god… Naked you? It would be the best sight ever.
Prudence : Oh my god, you can’t tell me things like this now.
Prudence : It’s too late for the mile high club, the plane will be landing in ten minutes.
Nate : Trust me, I can get both of us off in five.
Prudence : Seatbelts signs are on…
Nate : Damned seatbelts signs…
Prudence : Why do you keep shifting on your seat?
Nate : I’m hard and it’s really uncomfortable to hide it from the people sitting next to me.
Prudence : Damned gray sweatpants…
