Vape

Ugh, so I didn’t end up going back to sleep at all…

No, My Love — because I have more questions…

Sure, what’s your question?

Am I allowed to vape? On our first few dates? Or throughout…?

(Nodding) Yes… you’re allowed to vape… just don’t vape when you meet my parents, or my brother and sis-in-law… get a nicotine patch or something… when that happens…

Oh, I see…

Are you going to drink during our dates?

(Shaking his head) — No. I don’t think I will drink. But I’m happy for you to drink.

No, well — I’ll probably drink maximum one glass of wine? That’s it.

That’s fine… I’ll just vape… and order non-alcoholic beer or a mocktail, something like that…

You want to drink mocktails?

(Shrugs shoulders)… why not?

Is it a bit… feminine?

NOT ACCORDING TO GOOGLE — “MEN CAN DRINK MOCKTAILS” — YES.

(Laughing)

I’m going to enjoy a nice mocktail! Actually I’m usually really busy with rehearsals or in the studio, I don’t have time to just sit around drinking mocktails — I want to ENJOY THIS!

(Laughing) Okay dear, you enjoy your mocktails… I don’t know why I thought you might order non-alcoholic beers…

No — I don’t want the bloat…

Are they just as bloating when they’re non-alcoholic?

(Shrugs shoulders)

I’m asking Google… (Googling)… oh yeah, it might because of the carbonation…

(Smirk)

Okay, nevermind… mocktails it is…

I’ll have ONE SIP of your wine… whatever you’re having…

(Nodding) Okay… just one sip…

Only because… I just want to “taste” you… your wine, that you like — I want to taste what wines you like…

Okay? (Shrugs shoulders)

(Smiling)

I’m going back to sleep now…

Go back to sleep… dream about me?

I think I will, yes…

I love you.

I love you too… xoxoxoxoxoxox

Um… darling?

Yes, My Love?

Chronic vaping… does affect… singing quality…

I’m not chronically vaping…

You’re not?

No — it’s only in those first few dates with you — I’ll be NERVOUS — I’ll just vape as a coping mechanism — I probably won’t even do it by the time you’re staying over for those 4 or 5 nights — by that stage, I’ll be over those initial nerves. I won’t have to vape…

Oh. Okay.

Maybe just before I meet your parents and brother and sister-in-law — those mornings — okay, I’ll vape, I’ll put on a nicotine patch, something like that — but I won’t need to vape any other times… it’s just for extreme nerve-wracking situations…

(Peering)… I guess I believe you…

I’m SO CLEAN like 99.99% of the time these days. I don’t touch ANYTHING.

But then — wouldn’t the vape and nicotine patches be a shock to your system anyway?

I still drink a lot of coffee…

That’s why you don’t sleep well…

(Shrugs shoulders) I don’t think coffee affects me like that…

Okay, now I’m really really sleepy…

GOOD NIGHT MY DARLING.

Good night…
