I’d been pretty bored all day until I read online that today was the two year anniversary of Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s first date. I remembered having Nick’s email address somewhere, so I thought I’d try FaceTiming him to find out what they did to celebrate.
Much to my surprise, he didn’t pick up. But I’m nothing if not persistent, so I called him 51 more times. He was in his bathroom brushing his teeth when he finally appeared on my phone’s screen. Who answers a FaceTime call in the bathroom? He’s so weird.
Nick: [with his toothbrush in his mouth] Who is this???
Bea: Hi, Nick.
Nick: Hi. Who are you?
Bea: Seriously?? It’s Bea. We’ve met at Joe and Sophie’s house at least 16 times.
Actually, we’d never met but I couldn’t say that to him or he would’ve thought I was a psychopath.
Nick: Oh, right, right. How are you?
I swear to god, this lie works every time. Every. Time.
Bea: I’m good. Just hanging out at home with my boyfriend Lucas. How about you?
Nick: Uh… getting ready to go to sleep actually. Can we talk another time?
Bea: No, right now is fine. I read that today was the two year anniversary of your first date with Priyanka. Did you guys do anything special?
Nick: Nah, not really.
I hear a horrible noise in the background. It sounds like a cat is dying while giving birth to a baby monkey that it’s ripping everything on its way out. Truly horrific.
Bea: What is that?!
Nick: Uh… that’s Priyanka. She’s been trying to learn how to play the piano.
Bea: How incredibly unfortunate for you.
[Silence]
Nick: [yelling over the noise] She’s been trying really hard. She plays every day for hours and hours… I don’t know how she does it but every day she manages to get worse.
Bea: [also yelling] You’ve got to tell her. For your own—
The noise stops. She’s done torturing us.
Nick: When she stops playing before going to bed… that’s the highlight of my entire day.
Priyanka walks in.
Priyanka: Whatcha doin’, love?
Nick: Nothing. Just talking to Bea.
Priyanka: Who?
Nick: Bea. We’ve met her a few times at Joe and Sophie’s.
Bea: Hi Priyanka!
Priyanka: Hi. Sorry, I don’t remember meeting you at all…
Bea: I’m sorry… what did you say?
Priyanka: That I don’t remember—
Bea: It’s. Breaking. Up. The. Connection. Sorry. What.
I hang up. It’s easy to fool a man into pretending that they know me, but women… we are special creatures. We always see through the bullcrap.
