"yeah!" matt and chris both say in unison


"and what i mean by that, is that you're giving me that there's other options, but they chose the lemon ups. because when you first asked the question, it coulda been a lemon up on their own time kind of thing, i wouldn't know, which wouldn't necessarily harm me" nick shrugs his shoulders "but if i know—"


"no, you know" matt nods his head, listening to his rambling


"like they happily, like out of choice. out of every other cookie? choose lemon ups? that's not even a cookie . . . that's a disgrace" nick continues, dayo watches nick rant about the cookies and his unreasonable hate towards them


". . . hate to be that person but, erm. what's a lemon up?" dayo speaks up over the three siblings shouting at each other


"oh! oh, dayo. let me tell you" nick turns to her


"—they're just cookies" chris turns and places his hand on the back of the passengers seat, accidentally touching hers "it's not that crucial, it goes down to like a six maybe"


"why are you three so fucking fussy, jesus chris" dayo frowns at him, mostly for the fact that his hand was blatantly placed on top of hers and he had no problem with it, even though there was a camera placed in front of them


"i'd call it picky" nick corrects her


"they're a ten but has the worse music taste" matt continues


"i can't do that" chris shakes his head "unless we're on aux"


"i agree" matt looks at him "i think like—a four, that's maybe pushing it. maybe two"


"like if i play stir fry by migos, and you don't know it. then it's problem" chris admits "that's bad"


"fucking hell" dayo mumbles "they only needs to be dating me for like two days, then they'll automatically know good music"


nick puts his hands up and pulls a face "okay, miss perfect"


"yes" dayo nods "thanks for noticing!"


chris chuckles at her response "they're a ten but they forget their wallet"


matt places his hand on his chin, leaning on his arm, he shrugs his shoulders "that's fine"


dayo looks at matt and nods her head in approval, then, looks at chris "and you?"


chris avoids her eyes, looking around the car and stays silent for a second, but eventually, meets her eyes and smiles slightly "stays a ten"


"the hesitation" nick raises his eyebrow


"okay, they're a ten but they can't tie their shoelaces" matt asks them



"10 out of 10" dayo response quickly, slightly too passionate


"sorry?" nick laughs
