Molly
At that moment, Reece is taken aback…
Reece
What?
Molly
what? 😅
it was just a suggestion if you’re comfortable with it…
i just really need someone now 🫠
i don’t want to go back to that empty room and hug myself to sleep haha
Reece
Oh.
Molly
sorry! was that weird? 😅
Reece
I mean, I guess I’m just surprised since we’re adults now?
If you asked me that question 5 years ago, I probably wouldn’t be this surprised.
Lol.
Molly
ah… haha
forget about it then 😅
Reece
Huh, this just made me realize how grown up we are now.
Molly
yeah? because you don’t wet the bed anymore?
Reece
THAT WAS ONE TIME!
Lol.
And it was a very scary movie that we weren’t suppose to watch.
Molly
mhmm, excuses 😝
haha
Reece
Also, you can’t tease me when you literally shake and sob whenever there’s lightning and thunder.
Molly
hey, hey, hey!
the sounds freak me out okay! 😔
Reece
Lol.
Remember your last night at home before you packed up and left for the city?
Molly
mhmm, i was folding my clothes when it suddenly rained cats and dogs 😂
Reece
Yep. So you barged in my room, overtook my bed, and pleaded me to hold you.
Molly
haha i was scared!
that was probably the last time you held me… 🤔
Reece
I think so too, yeah.
Molly
maybe that’s why i ran to you when hanna and i broke up? 😅
nothing beats sibling comfort…
Reece
Yeah, that makes sense.
When you’re done doomscrolling on Netflix, feel free to jump in the bed.
Molly
wait, what?
are you sure? 😩
i mean, if you’re just saying that after we talked about childhood and stuff…
i’ll be fine here haha
Reece
Just get over here lol.
I need to sleep already.
And you tend to be very clumsy during the dark.
So we might as well get comfortable already.
Molly
yay!
gimme a sec 😝
👍
hey reece?
Reece
Yeah?
Molly
thank you 🥰
❤️
The next day, Reece and Molly’s mom checks up on them.
Mom
Hi kiddos! 😘
Molly
hey mom
miss you! 🥰
Mom
I miss you too, honey.
How are you and your brother? How’s living together?
Molly
it’s just like old times! 😝
Reece
Because you still wouldn’t brush your teeth before bed?
Molly
hey, i brush my teeth!
Reece
Or is it because you still steal my clothes?
Thief.
Molly
i told you already, i didn’t have enough clothes 😔
Mom
Hey, Reece. Be nice to your sister 😐
You know she’s already having a hard time.
Reece
I’m already having a hard time too.
I need my space back. When is she leaving? Lol.
Molly
i’m literally right here… 🫤
Reece
Oh, I know.
Molly
meanie! 😡
Mom
God, you two never change.
How’s apartment hunting anyway @Molly? 😅
Molly
just came home after touring 2 places 🫡
Reece
Any luck?
Molly
you’re to eager to get rid of me! 😜
Reece
Good, you know how to read the room.
Mom
Reece, honey.
Reece
Lol.
Molly
they seem okay, just kind of out of my budget tbh 😐
Mom
This is why I’ve been telling you that you need a more stable job than being a gym instructor 😥
Molly
mom, it’s literally a stable job haha
i just haven’t been taking in many coaching classes because i’m still healing…
Mom
But you didn’t go to college to just that 🤨
Molly
just what? 😅
Reece
Mom, she’s obviously happy with what she’s doing.
No need to bring up resolved issues lol.
Molly
see? even reece isn’t bothered 😂
Reece
That’s because you’ve taken over the failed kid role.
Molly
haha 😂 you’re welcome?
Mom
You two 😑
I just don’t want Molly leeching off of you.
You’re already doing her a huge favor.
Reece
And she’s trying to help out as much as she can, mom.
Molly
i literally just grabbed some groceries 😅
and i cook because reece doesn’t, and i don’t want some kidney disease due to too much takeout 🤨
Reece
Yep. She’s been semi-helpful.
She’d be more helpful if she can do something about her messy clothes lol.
Molly
i’m trying! 🙄
and here i thought you were defending me 😡
Reece
You wish.
Mom
Okay, that’s good to know.
Remember, Molly, we talked about this 😓
You have to continuously find ways to please Reece since he’s doing you a huge favor.
Molly
i know, mom…
you literally remind me every 10 seconds 😂
Reece
Speaking of pleasing me, I’d love some steak for dinner.
Ideally with mashed potatoes but I’m not very picky lately.
Molly
haha i got it, i got it
Mom
It’s nice to see that you two have found a shared domestic routine then.
Molly
just like old times 😂
Mom
Okay. Well, I just checked up on you two 😅
Please let me know if you’re in trouble.
Reece
I got this.
Relax, mom.
Molly
bye mom 😅
Mom
Bye honies.
❤️
Later, Molly asks for another favor.
Molly
hi 😇
Reece
Let me guess.
Molly
what?
Reece
Now you need money?
Molly
no! 🤨
why the hell would i need money?
and why would i ask YOU for money? 😂
Reece
I don’t know.
Whenever you send “hi”, a favor comes up.
Lol.
Molly
omg that’s mean?! 🤣
Reece
Okay, my bad.
What’s up then?
Molly
i just wanna say thank you…
for letting me use your gym equipment for free? ☺️
Reece
Without permission again.
Nice.
And don’t you work in a gym for a living?
Molly
yeah but it’s almost alwaya full there!
here, i have the space all for myself 😋
Reece
Lol. Whatever.
Molly
hi
Reece
What?
Molly
grumpy bitch 😝
Reece
Ugh. What do want want?
Molly
just wondering what time you’re gonna go gome so i know when to start cooking the steak?
Reece
Right.
Hmm, I can actually take an early night off so maybe in 1 hour?
Molly
oh, okay 😇
👍
hi
Reece
Jesus, just say it already.
Molly
haha 😂
can i ask for a favor?
Reece
I fucking knew it.
What?
Molly
so my agent called and she told me that a slot opened for one of the apartments that i wanted to tour at…
Reece
Okay? And?
Molly
it’s for today 😔
Reece
So?
Molly
can you drive me there? it’s at 7pm so you’ll be here on time haha 🤩
Reece
What happened to your car?
Did you drive it off to a cliff or something?
Molly
no!
no, no…
it’s still in the repair shop 😖
Reece
It’s been 2 weeks?
Molly
i know! that’s why i’ve been trying to get free rides from you to and from work remember… 😅
some days i’d ask my friends too if they’re feeling generous
Reece
Freeloader lol.
Molly
mean! 🤨
😄
i’m just trying to save money, okay! 😅
i wasn’t expecting to breakup with hanna so my emergency funds was used for the car repair…
and then now, i have to move too 😩
it’s not like i also didn’t have pending debts haha 🫠
Reece
I figured.
Fine.
Wait for me.
Molly
omg yes yes yes yay!
thank you, reece ☺️
i swear, i’ll cook your steak so freaking good 😝
Reece
You better.
Hey, just left the office. Be there in 20mins.
Molly
okay, getting ready now 🥰
drive safe
👍
Reece
I’m outside.
Molly
coming!
👍
hey, just got inside. you sure you don’t wanna come with me? 🤗
Reece
Yep. Have fun.
Molly
okay, guess i’ll just grab an uber on my way back 😅
Reece
What do you mean?
Molly
what?
how else am i gonna get home?
unless you’re kicking me out already? 😖
this is not how apartment hunting works! i haven’t even signed any lease yet! 🫠
Reece
Dumbass.
I’m parked outside.
Waiting for you.
Molly
what… i thought you left?
Reece
Why the fuck would I leave when you don’t have a car with you?
Molly
oh…
oh! haha okay
thanks 😝
👍
hi?
where are you? 😅
Reece
Parking lot.
You’re done already?
Molly
yep! haha
Reece
How did it go?
Molly
it’s a really nice apartment… fits right within my budget range too 🤩
Reece
Oh, sounds good.
Molly
kinda near the gym and lots of free open spaces to lounge in too
Reece
Yeah?
Molly
i’m thinking of getting it 🥰
Reece
Finally.
Go away already lol.
When do you move in?
Molly
i’m not sure… 😅
Reece
What?
Why?
Molly
well, the landlord just told me that there’s minor flooding issue recently so they have to get that fixed before they accept any new tenants 😅
Reece
What the fuck?
Molly
guess you’re still stuck with me? 😇
Reece
Like the fucking plague. Lol.
Molly
meanie! i see you already 😝
steak?
Reece
Fuck yeah, I’m starving.
😄
