50.

Kadaj tapped his fingers against his desk where on top lay a hefty business management textbook, a fat and ugly law textbook and social science workbooks. His roommate had left sometime around noon, so he was alone for the moment. Far, far away in London, Ontario. Western University, where he'd followed both his brothers so figure out some sort of pathway for his future life to follow. But life felt really slow lately.

He glanced at his cell, the sleek body of the iPhone reflecting light and corners of his law textbook back at him.

He could do it; it would be so simple and easy. So why was he hesitating?

He picked it up, to defy himself and the question and scrolled to find Kairi's number.

"Kadaj?"

"No, actually I found this number scratched into a bathroom stall. Apparently, you offer free phone sex from five to two in a bunch of exotic accents. Now I know your hours haven't started yet, so name your minutely rate. Oh yes, I'd prefer a southern accent."

"You asscake."

"Ooh, already with the dirty talk. I like! But, where's the accent?"

"Kadaj, what do you want?"

"Would you know if Xion is busy tomorrow night?"

Kairi was slient on the other end, but when she did reply, a definite smile was on her face. "I would know if I was with her right now, but I'm not. I could call her and find out or..." she teased. "I could text you her number."

"Oh, you're brilliant, Kairi! Truly excellent thought process." Kadaj feigned. "Alright then, it was a treat talking to you again; however next time, I'd like it to be with that accent we discussed."

"Owh, draet," and a girl outta Georgia was produced. "AI'm jus so daRn yuselehss whenit cuhmes tuh thiehs tehknologieh. Seems AI kien't faind heR numbeR."

"What do you want?"

"Eind you would think I would know wun o' ma bey'st freyend's numbeR off ba haRt, but dayum this fickle twehni-feRst sehncheri."

"Kairi..."

"Eind on sehcond thought, AI don't thienk Xion wud laike it if I jus-staRded gihvin aut heR numbeR tuh gahz that cawll rayendum nuhmbeRs they faind on bayethroom stalls."

« Maudite vache. »

Kairi cackled spoke in her normal voice.

"What are you doing, Kadaj?"

"Right now?" He looked briefly around his room. "Currently wishing I gave you harder wedgies when you were seven. You?"

"Ha! Bitch, I meant what are you doing asking for one of my best friend's number?"

He could just picture Kairi's hand taking its normal position at her hip and he rolled his eyes, fairly certain she knew he did too. They knew each other too well. "I'm requesting the digits I require in order to be able to call her on her cellular device so that she may be able to hear my voice as I ask her if she is free tomorrow and also so that she will have the ability to speak back to me so that I may be able to hear a 'yay' or 'nay'. Honestly, you're born after 1992 and the logistics of sleek electronics is truly MAGIC."

"Shut up, you know what I mean."

"Kai," he said seriously. "You're being annoying."

"How am I being annoying?"

"You are being annoying by using that stupid female disease that makes you to get into other people's business, ask all them questions and over-think things –like a friend asking for another friend's number. I just want to ask her out, is that so complicated?"

"So you're saying you wanna ask her out. As in out on a date! Now we're getting somewhere!"

« Pétasse. »

End of Saturday


Hello hello !
I needed a Kadaj chapter here XD

I actually did take a class in accents and dialects, and would have written some of the longer phrases in the IPA alphabet but didn't recognize all of the symbols so .. maybe in the time you try to sound things out, you get a feel of the Southern drawl? xD

Here's a cheat sheet if it did get to be a little too messy: 'Oh drat, I'm just so darn useless when it comes to this technology. Seems I can't find her number. And you would think I would know one of my best friend's number off by heart, but damn this fickle twenty-first century. And on second thought, I don't think Xion would like it if I just started giving you her number to guys that call random numbers they find on bathroom stalls.' Yeah, I apologize if the way I would have spelled the Southern drawl may have offended anybody.

Kadaj calls her a 'damned cow' and a 'bitch'... I just love it when he speaks French ^^

As always, reviews would be appreciated !
