I'll Add It To Your Tab
Ari
Is it too late to say I told you so?
Ari
Because, let's be honest, I told you so.
Ben looks up at me, and glares.
I only smirk in response of clear amusement.
Ben
Aren't you supposed to be a supporting sister, that should be saying everything is okay?
I say pointing to his now overly bleached "BLACK" sweatshirt.
Ari
I say again...I told you so.
Ben
I forgot you're the insensitive type that makes a poor man cry.
Ari
But let's be honest here, who in their right mind would bleach anything of color, especially black.
Ari
Big Brother with all due respect, that's just common sense!
Ben
But it wasn't getting fully cleaned when I washed it with detergent!
Ari
That's because your lazy ass put it on Quick Wash! Quick Wash isn't clean!
Ari
You JUST admitted it wasn't fully cleaned!
I say pinching the bridge of my nose in irritation.
Nikki
Is there another Sibling Battle Royale going on today?
Nikki
I can literally hear you both from outside.
Nikki
With all due respect I'd rather not suck, an idiot who washes his colored clothes with bleach.
Ben
You know I didn't mean literally!
Ben blushes smothering his face into his used to be black sweatshirt.
Ari
Okay with stupid actions aside, that doesn't look like your sweatshirt, it's too small, and you're a little overly buffed for that size bro.
Ben
It's not mine...it's my girlfriend's little brother's sweatshirt that she spent 200 dollars to buy this name brand shirt for his birthday tomorrow.
Me and Nikki just look at him.
Ari
I pray you have a quick and painful.
Nikki
Wait, when did she get it?
He says raising an eyebrow at her odd question.
Ari
So why are you washing it?
Ben
Because it got wet in the rain and I told her I would wash it for her?
Nikki
why didn't you just let it dry out?
He looks at Nikki with a blank emotionless stare.
Ben
Now that I think about it-
Ari
Yeah, you're hopeless.
Ben
Hey! Washing probably would've done better so it wouldn't mold!
Nikki
But did you read the instructions on the shirt on how to wash it, like wash by hand or in cold water?
Ari
Let's be honest here even if he didn't read the instructions, who washes black with bleach?
Ben
You are not gonna let me live this down will you?
Nikki
Weren't you planning on breaking up with her anyways? Nice way to end it.
Ben
I think your friend is secretly evil.
He leans over to me and whisper.
Ari
I found that out when she scared a girl that was messing with her so hard that she pissed her pants.
Nikki
Ari, you're not one to talk.
Ari
But Nikki does have a point.
Ari
Use this as an excuse to break up. Be like, "oh darling I'm not good enough for you"
Ben
You're a horrible Inspiration Speaker.
Ari
Being straightforward is truly a gift.
Ben
I don't want her to hate me, when we break up.
Nikki
Oh so your brother's a romantic.
Ari
He wants to leave with that last meaningful hug, and that goodbye kiss.
Nikki
You can never go wrong with that.
Ben
I think this is what you call bullying.
Nikki
Well I was knocking at the door when I came, but since I heard y'all arguing from outside I decided to let myself in. I have a delivery to make from Ari, to Ben.
Ben
If it's an, "I told you so" card, I don't want it.
Nikki hands Ben a box, he looks up at us both suspiciously, as he opens the box.
He says holding a new name brand black sweatshirt.
Ari
Nikki's uncle runs the shop, and I gave him some of my designs before for new clothing ideas. As soon as I saw you doing that...
I say pointing to his disaster of a mess.
Ari
I called in one of my unused favors to him.
Ari
And Nikki being a dear, was so kind to deliver it.
Ben looks at the sweatshirt extremely happy then his face falls immediately looking at us two.
Ben
I owe you two don't I?
