Like a chungus

Adam's POV :-

"yea, kmash bros me and Phoebe are gonna spend the night together pla- ahh, I see why you guys were confused, Cait, we need to talk."

honestly, I wanted to laugh too, but I also felt somewhat conflicted, did she not trust me?

Caitlin nodded, silently and her other coworkers were just eating in silence trying to ignore the awkward moment, Chloe did try to justify but I just shushed her down saying I know.

we went to our table, where phoebe was eating her steak like a chungus, "you are late, your steak's there with whatever green thingy you ordered, who's that crying girl though?"

i sighed "sis, can you go to that table." I said as I pointed towards the table behind the wall, she just nodded, picked up her steak, and took a seat on that table as nothing happened, I guess she got the gist of something.

we both took seats, and Caitlin's face still had some tears just waiting to fall off

I wiped her tears with my hands, like some super gentleman protagonist would do, and then when she finally calmed down I asked her "do you, not trust me?"

she probably expected that question, obviously because she just assumed that I was cheating on her or something like that, but she wouldn't be crying like that if she would have just trusted me.

"I am sorry, I did want to trust you- b-but it was just too misleading-"

I sighed, after recalling the convo we had it was pretty easy to come to the conclusion she came to.

"Alright fine." she looked up at me with bright eyes "but- why the heck were you trying to spy on our convo in the first place?"

she looked down and said in a very quiet voice "that was because Chloe said you were here with a very hot girl-"

"pffffttttt-" I tried my best to keep my laughter under control but eh-

she pouted hearing me laugh.

"didn't I tell you that I was on dinner with a co-worker tho-"

"b-bu-but, yeah it's my fault, I promise not to spy on you again."

I nodded "well that's good then, wanna play kmash bros later then?"

she nodded vigorously hearing that of course she did, I have been destroying her for the entirety of our games, but since we haven't played it for a week, she was probably eager to show her development.

"you can invite Chloe too, imma call mike."

"Alright, this time I will definitely beat you," she said as she left for her table.

well, it was just a small misunderstanding, and to be honest I might have done the same if our positions were switched so I decided not to make it a bigger issue than this.

her spying or just listening to my convo was technically bad but technically speaking I am also spying/collecting data from those billions of people who use any software or even hardware developed by my group and then even selling that data to earn more- but that's a different thing.

once phoebe was back, I explained everything to her, and then she was like

"I won't approve of her, just yet, she needs to prove herself!"

"fine do whatever you like," I said as I took a deep breath.

honestly, I was looking forward to playing with Phoebe because her skills were great last time I met her, she had a few obvious flaws like how she can make a counter or how she can't dodge a consecutive combo, but other than that her offensive skills were top notch.

Caitlin on the other hand was just a beginner, she didn't really dodge attacks and just jumped head-on, but the fact that she could do combos without looking at the controller after only a day of playing meant she had potential.

and in 2 days she was able to perform a zero to death combo- albeit with a bot.

after dinner we decided to meet up at Phoebe's home, we had to go in different cars since there were more people, so Chloe and Cait were in Cait's car and me and Phoebe in my car while Mike would directly come to Phoebe's home.

we stopped at a convenience store to buy some snacks and drinks, we also had to buy an extra console by stopping at the Game Ktop because Phoebe only had 2 consoles, Mike was bringing mine and his console, obviously we both are too accustomed to custom controllers so we just cant play comfortably on normal ones anymore.
