"'Interesting proposal,' That's all he said. That's all he fucking said. Interesting fucking proposal, Lia, that's all he said. Nothing more, nothing less. It leaves the mind to wonder, doesn't it," Ace said while pacing across the room while on FaceTime with Lia. "Ace, sit your narrow down. your pacing is fucking with my anxiety." Ace paused, did a glance at the phone, and went right back to pacing. "I can't sit down, Lia. All he said was interesti-" A sigh came from the phone. "Ace, I know what he said, but the pacing isn't helping neither one of us, sit down. Ace plopped down on the couch that he was currently pacing in front of. "Ace, you're thinking too hard about those two words. Give it time. Maybe he has planned something, but you talking about this isn't helping shit but this fucking headache I got." Ace shakes his head, chuckles, and nods. "You're right, Lia. Well, I'm going to head to the store. I'll talk to you later, right, love?" "yeah, ace ill talk to you later, and you better not be going to that one store, " Lia said aggressively. Ace got up, walked to the phone, and said, "I am," as he hung up the phone. He grabbed his keys, phone, and wallet off the table they were on before, exiting and locking the door Ace makes sure everything in his apartment is off.

Vex, on the other hand, is carefree, not even worried about his response video. He's doing his hair in his mirror for the next video while on the phone with Katy. "Vex, what in the world made you wake up and chose chaos? There was no need for you to incite chaos. There was no need at all. You just like adding the extra spice that life needs, huh?" Vex laughs and slams his hands down on the countertop. "Katy, baby, I am the extra spice." From the other end of the phone, laughing can be heard "ah that was funny, but egotistic much," Silence "very much so" Vex and Katy both bust out laughing "so how do you plan on playing this out, Vex" Vex yanks his phone up and whispers into the mic, "I'm going to play right into his hands. I'm going to give him what he wants up until the last second, and then I will switch it upon him. I think he thinks I'm a sub, so I'm going to play the sub role. The response video will include a collar. I've already grabbed his attention, so now I've just got to grab his throat and show him who I am. That's what I'll do." Katy nods her head slow trying to contain a laugh. "Now, what will you do when your throat is the one being held captive, huh?" Vex stifles a laugh. "Katy, darling, we will be holding each other's throat hostage at that point. I refuse to be dominated, but I'm about to hang up and make the video. I'll talk to you later, okay?" Katy nods "of course, pretty boy." the call hangs up with a click.

"Ace, welcome back. You already know where everything is, so have at it," a woman at the front counter says as Ace walks in. "Got it, Lily, " he responds as he walks to the way back of the store and into an aisle that reads 'BDSM and More.' Ace glances around at all the items in the aisle until his eyes finally land on two things "these will do." Ace grabs both of the items and walks back to the front counter where Lily is. "Sir, these are dom exclusive items. So they'll cost you a bit more than other things." Ace nods silently "$83.76" Ace hands her $90 and leaves with his items in hand. He pulls out his phone and text Lia. 'It was an interesting proposal indeed.'
