Don't Get Me Started
The phone rang as Ashley walked into her home after a long, hard day at work. Well, not really. But as she went over to the phone, she looked at her call ID and it happened to be her mother.
"Hey Sweetie," the familiar, cheery voice chimed.
"Hey mom...how ya doing?" Ashley asked, making herself comfy on the top stair.
"I'm doing good! And you know the boy you gave me to adopt? You know, Stefan's son, Jade Puget?"
"Yeah, what about him?"
"He's not eating! Your father and I were very displeased!"
"Well...hmmmn."
"Well? Do you know why?"
"Let me talk to him..."
"Alright," Ashley's mother said, handing the phone over to Jade.
"Hello?" Jade asked, rather unsure.
"Hey Jade..." Ashley said, "why aren't you eating?"
"Well, your dad, you know? Stavros? Well, he rather intimidated me..."
"Why?"
"Because Nikolas was picking at his food, and he asked him why he wasn't eating his meat, and then he said that nobody in his family didn't eat meat..."
"So...?"
"I'm vegan..."
"Oh yes..."
"And you know that girl, Elizabeth?"
"Yep?"
"Well she's been giving me...these looks...like one minute she smiles at me, and the next she GLARES in the WORST way...it's making me uncomfortable..."
"Hmn...she probably likes you!"
"Naw..."
"Put her on the phone!"
As the phone transitioned to Elizabeth, she heard a familiar voice on the TV start up.
"Yeah?" Elizabeth asked, a little out of breath.
"Yeah...do you like Jade?"
"Oh my gosh yes! Don't get started!"
As Elizabeth spoke these words, a familiar voice on the TV echoed her with "Don't even get me started!"...yeah. Someone was watching Saturday Night Live with Molly Shannon.
"Wow! That was crazy! The TV copied you!" laughed Ashley.
"Yeah...but don't get me started on how much I like Jade...he's so kind...and beautiful...and..."
"Enough. Lemme talk to him again."
The phone was given back to Jade.
"Yeah?"
"She likes you, I was right. Do you like her?"
"Yeah."
"Go tell her and give the phone back to my mom."
The phone was given back to Billie, Ashley's mom.
"Yeah Sweetie?"
"I was just going to say goodbye..." Ashley said as her daughter pulled herself upstairs after a date.
"Really?"
"Yep. OH! I forgot! The reason Jade isn't eating is because he's vegan."
"Ohh..." Billie trailed off.
"But it's okay, have Elizabeth fix something up for him, I'm sure he's hungry."
"Yeah, I bet he is."
"Well, I'm going to go to bed. Did you need anything else?"
"No, just like talking to you."
"Yeah? I love you, mom, goodnight."
"G'night."
And with that, Ashley hung the phone up and walked into her daughter's room.
"Hey Kylie, how'd your date go?"
She turned to her mother. "Don't even get me started!"
