Question

"Why are you even asking?" Ethan sighs, feeling slightly on edge.

Charlie shrugs. "Just curious."

Frowning, Ethan stands up, satisfied with his job cleaning the couch. After taking a moment to dispose of the wipe, he returns and takes a seat.

"Seriously," Charlie smirks, her tone more playful than before despite her claim to be serious. "What was it?"

"I'm not telling you." Ethan groans. As easy as it would be to lie, he suspects it won't end things. Charlie seems to have entered full-blown tease mode

Pouting, Charlie crosses her arms over her chest. "Hm," she gives Ethan a hard look, thinking. "It was dickgirls wasn't it?"

"What?!"

Charlie chuckles. "It's understandable. Finding out you're living in a town full of them it's normal to be curious."

Ethan rubs the bridge of his nose. He's not sure if she's actually baiting him or not, but either way he's not going to indulge her.

"I mean, not like you could pull one."

'I pulled your sister', Ethan thinks, only barely keeping the jab to himself. Glancing towards the ceiling, he ponders what Ashley thinks about all this. "I do fine, thank you."

Charlie gives Ethan a look he can't quite wrap his head around. "I'm sure you do..." her tone is equally inscrutable, at least to Ethan.

Faintly, Ethan thinks he hears something upstairs, but the sound is dull enough to pass off as just a typical old house noise, or at least Charlie does. Ethan, this time, knows better. Realizing he's been quiet for almost too long, Ethan quickly thinks up something to say. "For the record, it wasn't dickgirls."

"Men?"

"No." Ethan frowns{if Gay<3}, not really swinging that way{endif}{if Gay>2}, although the quest might not be that ridiculous..{endif}.

Charlie smirks. "So, just girls then? But obviously ones with big tits."

"Obviously." Ethan feels himself smile, despite everything.

"Just can't help yourself can you..." Charlie's smirk shifts, Ethan feeling the mood shift with it, "You just can't help staring."

"Well," Ethan forgets for a very, very brief moment who he's talking to. "Good tits deserve a good stare."

Charlie nods her head slightly. "I see..."

The way she trails off makes Ethan's ears burn. He can't tell if it's a challenge or an invitation, but before he can do something about it a light buzzing noise snaps him and Charlie both to attention.
