Him | Others
"He-"
"It's me."
"Seriously? You too?"
"Million things and you're worried about me interrupting your greetings? Seriously dude? You really need to get your priorities straight."
"Right. Of course. Is everything okay? Where's Mid-"
"Sleeping."
"What are you doing there, then?"
"This is my place. Why wouldn't I be here?"
"Your place? She's at your place?"
"Yeah? Why wouldn't she be?"
"Why would she be?"
"..."
"Listen, I'm a little busy right now-"
"You like her, don't you?"
"What the hell?"
"I'm not going to make a move on her, if that's what you're worried about."
"I'm not."
"Heh! As if! I can feel the rage from all the way here."
"Why the hell would you care?"
"I don't."
"What do you want?"
"Nothing."
"Are you out of your mind?"
"I'm not the one unhinged, she is."
"Don't say sh*t about her!"
"Who the hell beats the sh*t out of a waitress?"
"She did what?"
"Why do you think I had to run?"
"What happened?"
"I don't know. I didn't exactly have the time to ask. All she's done for the past few hours is rant about sh*t I don't understand. And then she started crying."
"She cried herself to sleep?"
"Yeah."
"Can you call me when she wakes up?"
"Okay."
"And make sure you leave a glass of water by her side, and some biscuits perhaps."
"Okay."
"And-"
"Dude!"
"What?"
"I know how to take care of a girl, okay?"
"Okay."
"Bye."
"Bye."
....................
"Is everything okay?"
"Jeez Dylan!"
"What?"
"Nothing."
"What's wrong?"
"What gave you the impression that something is wrong?"
"The fact that you're sitting on the kitchen floor with your ice cream untouched."
"Oh."
"So?"
"I dont know. I'm worried about her."
"Why?"
"Sh-she cried herself to sleep, Dyl. What if she gets sick?"
"Nothing a paracetamol can't handle."
"She got into a fight too."
"Looks like she can handle herself pretty well."
"She's at a guy's place."
"So, basically, you're jealous."
"What- No!"
"Was that him? On the phone?"
"Yeah."
"Why'd he call you?"
"How would I know?"
"What did he say?"
"Briefly mentioned the events of this afternoon."
"Right. Is he her friend?"
"I don't know. The first time they met, we were on call."
"And the second time?"
"Just today."
"Now, think about this, would you ever call him to inform him about her situation?"
"He doesn't needs to know everything or anything at all about her."
"Exactly."
"What?"
"If he liked her, he wouldn't have called you."
"How would you know?"
"Because I like someone too, if you're forgetting. If it would've been up to me I would prefer keeping her to myself."
"Right."
"You don't have to be worried about anything, dude."
"Okay."
"Now, get out of here."
"Why?"
"So that I can cook? It's my turn, remember?"
"Oh."
"Yeah. How would you remember anyway. You haven't even cooked in months."
"Right. See you at dinner."
"Bye."
"..."
"Now what?"
"What?"
"Why are you looking at me like that? Leave already."
"I-uh I-"
"C'mon spit it out."
"I was just wondering something..."
"Don't tell me you want me to cook something special for you."
"No. I was wondering if you'd be up to cooking together?"
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"You haven't cooked since-"
"Ariana. I know."
"I'm glad you're doing better."
"Me too."
"How about pasta?"
"Lasagna?"
"Sure. Mum's definitely going to have a field day."
