Previous chapter, where we met Maxim and Maura... Duke: Hey, little brother! Whatcha doin'? Trevor: I'm not your 'little' brother. And I'm busy, I'm doing a case study. I don't need any interruptions right now. Duke: Aw, c'mon! I'm family. That doesn't count as an interruption... right? Trevor: Yes... it does. Duke: If it was Dad or Mom, you wouldn't say it was one. Anyway -- Trevor: Duncan, please. I don't have time to horse around. I need to get this done before lunch, I'm having a consultation with Marjorie at 2. Duke: Marjorie! She is SO hot. I wish you'd introduce me to her. Trevor: She is my COLLEAGUE. I am not going to 'introduce' you to her. This office is NOT your personal social club. Duke: You know, if she would take off her glasses and wear her hair down, she would have guys crawling all over her. Trevor: *wryly* I'm sure that's exactly what she would want. Especially if you were one of the multitude. Duke: Still, you should tell her that. If you won't introduce me to her, that is. Don't you think she's hot? *happy sigh* Trevor: Duncan, is there something you want? I can see you're going to pester me until you have my full attention. Tell me what you want and then get out of here. Duke: What makes you think I want something? Trevor: I know you didn't come here just to chat about Marjorie. Inappropriately, I might add. You always want something. What is it? Duke: Why do you suspect me all the time? Why can't I just come in here and spend some quality time with my older brother -- Trevor: DUNCAN. Duke: All right. Can you lend me seventy-five bucks? I need to make a layaway payment on my hi-hat, or the music shop will return it to stock. I'll lose all the money I've put down on it already. Trevor: *sighh* Didn't you JUST get paid? Duke: Wellll, yeah, but... I kinda spent it already. Trevor: SPENT it already?! On what?! Duke: Ah ah ah! You promised you weren't going to lecture me on finances once I actually GOT a job! So no lectures! Trevor: Bartending part time isn't a JOB! Duke: I get wages AND tips. *smugly* I'm pretty sure that's the definition of a job. Trevor: But -- but you -- I -- arghhh...! Duke: Geez, I hate it when you get all agitated like this, Trev. Trevor: Duncan, I'm sorry, but -- Duke: Whoa, don't tell me you're not gonna lend me the seventy-five bucks! Trevor: No, I'm not! Duke: But my hi-hat! I'll LOSE it!
Trevor: *sighh* All right. But I expect to be paid back a week from today. No excuses! Duke: Sure, no problem. I'm good for it. And... you know where I live. *grins* Later!! Trevor: *sighh* This is what I get for giving Donald the day off... Linda S. galatia9 Next chapter: Duke drops by to chat with Maxim about the band...
HOW does Duke sit down in those pants? he's so gorgeous *sigh* love all the little details here - well done! ^_^
ROFL, @elve! He actually sits pretty well in them. However, I thought it would be easy to seat him backwards on that chair because of his long legs, but it was a real wrestling match! Thank you! @animemom, thanks so much. Linda S. galatia9
