talks to my colleague hi so great to have you here
Ummm Teresa can I talk to you for a minute? I noticed you were talking to John points to John
Sure I guess. What do you want to talk about?
Don’t be mad but did he say something that made you upset?
crosses her arms Well he said that he found someone better than me, so yeah I’m a bit upset. But who doesn’t like hearing that right?
wait he’s saying that he likes you. And your number one priority is focusing on him I mean really your a beautiful intelligent woman. Why would you want to be with him instead of me!?!?!
Are you crazy? Who am I compared to him? He’s successful, famous and rich. What can you offer me?
look he only wants you because you’re famous. He doesn’t love you he just wants to be with a celebrity that will help him get more money…
takes a moment to think Wait you know all this because you’ve been stalking him?
N-no that’s not what I mean. You know how me and you meet at Starbucks everyday? I hear all this because your my bestfriend
eyes widen So that means you’ve been spying on me too? Damn that’s a bit creepy. But thank you I guess. I can cut ties with him now then.
No I don’t mean it like that but yea I heard it from work. I’m sorry if that came out wrong I just wanted to save you from heartbreak.
It’s okay I appreciate your concern. Thank you for looking out for me even though we’re just friends. smiles
hey I’m still trying to figure out what friendship is because you are literally the first friend I’ve ever had
Well if that’s the case then I’m honored to be your first friend. Friends stick together through thick and thin so consider me your ride or die.
Let’s celebrate our newfound friendship. How about we go dancing? I hear there’s a new club in town called “Groove Central”. Have you ever heard of it?
nope I haven’t but sure I can give it a shot
Perfect, let’s head over there right now and show off our moves. grabs Stranger's hand and leads them out of the bar
woah slow down we’re gonna be late
giggles Oh come on, what’s the worst that could happen? We can always hail a cab or take an Uber if we miss the entrance.
uh ok what ever you say ma’am
laughs Alright, no need to call me ma’am. Just call me Tess. Now let’s hustle! starts walking briskly towards the club
notices Stranger struggling to keep up with her pace Slow down, Tess. I don't want you tripping over those fancy shoes of yours.
stops suddenly and turns to face Stranger Thank you for being such a good sport tonight. It means a lot to me.
