Trigger Warning: harassment, coarse language

Ray

I woke up early today even though I slept late last night since Randy invited me to take a stroll around the city last night after comforting me from Taylor's untimely death. Today is just my 10th day in the city but I already feel attached to the people I have just met—including the boy named Taylor.

Sighing, I grabbed my phone from the bedside table and dialed Randy's number first thing in the morning. "Raymundo!" Randy said upon answering his phone after the third ring.

I chuckled because of how cheery he was. "Randymundo!" I greeted back with the same hype as he had. "Good morning! What are you up to today?" I asked as I rolled on my bed.

"Nothing much. I just came from the mechanic shop by the way." I could hear a stupid smile in his voice.

I sneered. "Why?" I asked, playing clueless as I smiled to myself.

I heard him chuckle before speaking. "You wrecked my car, Ray. I spent thousands fixing it!" He quipped. He sounded serious but his giggle earlier had already betrayed him.

But I still played along with his playfulness. I puckered my lips as if he could see me. "I'm sorry, Randy. I'm sorry for ruining your car. It won't happen again I promise. I'm sorry for making you mad." I even let out a sigh to sound more convincing.

Damn right, I know how to use my charm for my benefit.

He chuckled from the other line. "Nah. It's all good, Ray. I'm just fucking with you. I am not mad at you at all."

And it always works too, see?

The side of my lips curled up into a smirk. "I'm sorry. I won't drive your car again I promise." I made myself sound even sadder than before. Damn! I'm kind of good at this. I should use this for other people, huh?

He let out a small laugh and I could even imagine him shaking his head. "It's okay, Ray. You can drive my car whenever you want. I don't mind."

"Really?" I smirked at myself. "I recorded the call so I could use it against you. Thank you, Randymundo!" I said with my sweet voice to piss him off, lying my ass off.

"Wha—" He exclaimed in disbelief. "Did you just finesse me like that?" He asked, followed by a cute giggle.

I lay on my back, still in bed. "I mean, what can I say? You taught me this way." I shrugged off.

He let out another chuckle before speaking again. "Anyway, how's your day?" He asked and I heard a shuffle from his end.

I rolled my eyes heavenwards. "I literally just woke up," I said as I lay on my stomach again. "I just called to ask you how's your day. Are you gonna be busy today?" I asked.
