Daily dessert

Chapter 2 - right?

< Marcus:
[ Hi Sarah! From my understanding, we have until today to add a companion to the assistant’s list? 😅 ]
< Sarah:
[ Hi Darling! ]
[ That’s correct, I just need the name and the deposit for the plus one ]
< Marcus:
[ Perfect! His name is Rodrigo Miranda ]
[ I’ll deposit you later during the evening ]
< Sarah:
[ OMG! Who’s Rodrigo?! 👀 ]
< Marcus:
[ Just a guy I’m going out with 🫣 ]
< Sarah:
[ Ok ok! I’ll add him to the list ]
[ I’ll also need a picture of him ]
[ For security reasons ]
< Marcus:
[ No you don’t! 😝 ]
(Most of the images of him in Marcu’s phone where quite more prominent to the belly than the face anyways)
[ Plus, you are probably already looking for him on Instagram 🤨 ]
< Sarah:
[ Marcus Jefferson I would never! 🫢 ]
< Marcus:
[ Hahahah ]
[ Well, thank you very much!! ]

—----- 4 days before the party —----

< Marcus:
[ Helllo! Here’s your ticket to the event ]
[ Anexed pdf. ]
< Rodrigo:
[ Man that's elaborate, how formal is this thing? ]
< Marcus:
[ Well it wasn’t specified. There are people getting some dresses and nice suits, but you are ok just going with a shirt ]
[ Security is usually a little tight due to some bad experiences some years ago ]
< Rodrigo:
[ Great ]
10 minutes later Rodrigo sent a picture, it was him wearing a suit, white formal jacket and pants, with a deep blue shirt. But “wearing” might have been an overstatement, the last 3 buttons were completely open leaving his belly exposed, and the chest area did not seem that far off from exploding and leaving it just as exposed as the rest of his body.
[ Fuck, this was the suit I wore at my highschool graduation 😂 ]
[ I cannot even button the pants ]
< Marcus:
[ Hahaha, seems like you put on a kilo or twenty since you last wore it ]
[ Though I think it looks great on you, really emphasizes your figure 🐷 ]
> Rodrigo:
[ Given how the scale number has been going up these last months I would say at least half of them are your fault ]
[ But I cannot show up with half my skin exposed!! ]
> Marcus:
[ Haha ups! ]
[ You could always be a trendsetter ]
[ But yeah, you should probably arrive wearing something that can wrap around such a distinguished big gentleman ]
> Rodrigo:
[ Maybe nothing will be capable of wrapping around me one day ;p ]
> Marcus
[ Don’t know, there are sheets for king-size beds, you know? ;p ]
> Rodrigo:
[ I said nothing!!! ]
[ By the way, could you send the localization for the event again? ]
> Marcus:
[ Hahaha ]
[ Yes of course ]
[ Localization 📌 ]
> Rodrigo:
[ Thanks ]
> Marcus:
[ Good luck on your week! ]
*Rodrigo liked your message*

Marcus scrolled down the chat asking himself if there was something he missed, I mean sure he never DID say he was coming, but why else would he ask for the place? and why wouldn’t he have said anything? 2 group chat messages had already arrived on his phone, buzzing as a new message had arrived, filling him with hope, before dropping even further in disappointment.
