A Random Coffee House, The Mainland, Friday Evening

[stars_and_money]

Handwavily, Jeremy and George had caught meta for The Graduate at a movie theater on the mainland. It had been... Well, they hadn't exactly caught that much of it, to be honest. But the opening credits had looked good! Really, top notch! Or something. Whatever. Movie theaters were dark and the back row was made for way better things than actually

George was totally glad that she had gotten a chance to see The Alumnus and could see now why it was a classic of cinema. Those had been some excellent opening credits and then the little bits of dialogue she had overheard here and there were really top-notch.

She paused to pose, dramatically, in her dress, which might be kind of fancy for a movie-and-coffee date but hello, he was going to wear the Ferragamo again. She had to step it up a bit to match.

"Still not as awesome as the suit," she said. "Probably way less expensive. Except you said rich people get shit for free. Was it a free suit? You have to tell me if it was, or else that's cheating."

"No, I paid for this, I swear," Jeremy assured her with a laugh. And a slightly more lingering look because hey, she was posing and it was a really, really nice dress. "Although I think I did get a discount... It's kinda hard to remember sometimes."

He'd acquired quite a few new suits over his two recent trips back home.

Was he checking her out? Whoa. He was. This shouldn't surprise her, because they had been making out for the entire theatrical length of a freaking movie, but ... wow. It kind of did.

"So rich people get discounts and poor people pay full price," she sighed, teasingly. "How am I supposed to keep up? I work at a record store. I mean, the employee discount is sweet, but I can't be a sugarmama on that kind of salary. Not unless you want to be a kept man on the cheap."

"No, see, the beauty of being me is that I can be my own kept man," Jeremy reasoned. Such high aspirations he had. "And you can just enjoy the benefits. Much easier that way, and you get to keep your salary."
