Hold on.
So her phone msg notification alarms. She says, in a surprised, thrilled tone of voice: "Oh mai Gawd, it's Nico! (eyes go wide) Hold on a minute!"
Grabs phone, grins from ear-to-ear, gleefully smirking with self-satisfaction.
Coquetteishly hides her blushing face with her trotters.
Peaks at phone, and begins to read the message with joyful, wide-open-mouthed anticipation, then suddenly...
Slaps paws together. Flips phone around again with a nervous throat-clearing.
Flips her greasy hair back, while an expression of anger/disappointment settles over her crusty visage.
"All right."
Slaps thigh. Frowns. Long pause. Shakes head and sighs in disbelief. Exhales. Is angry.
"He's stringing me along. Definitely stringing me along."
"Reads" chat his message which basically says he "can't meet tonight, so sorry."
Now...within less than 10 seconds of having supposedly just read Nick's message, without inputting anything into her phone (there has been zero time elapsed where she could have msg'd him anything) she immediately launches into this rant to the chat:
"So, I just messaged him and I'm like, 'Okay! That's-I'm like, thanks for letting me know...' [unintelligible] and then I said...(long pause) Oh, what did I say? Something like, I mean 'Am I waste--'
(Pause to make more stuff up she thinks sounds believable.)
"I said: 'I just wanna know am I wasting my time, because if you 'really wanted to see me'...I feel like you'd make time for me. Like, you would,
right?'
"So,
(Pause) he hasn't answered me yet, but...we'll see."
(Exhales. Mad face.)
--
What I want to know is how she msg'd Nick all this stuff she's saying "she told him,"
if she'd
just gotten his message a couple of seconds prior...and, when we can see her hands, and she didn't touch the phone, let alone send him some long-ass "fuck you" msg?
yannowhaddamean?
Lies. All lies.
Maybe/Probably that alert we heard wasn't even really Nick msg'ing her.
Chantal lies.
