“And you think just by bring me muffin and coffee will make me forgive you?” I am still fuming.

“Of course not.  This is just my bribery to get you to have dinner with me tonight?  Please?”  She pleads with her puppy dog eyes.

“You know, one day your cute puppy dog eyes won’t work on me anymore.”  I say shaking my head.

“Is that a yes?”  She curls her lips up a little.

“Let me think about it.”  I am not giving in easily this time.

“Look, there is Carmen!”  Tina pretends to be surprised to see me. 

I give her a death glare.  “Tina, Dana, what a surprise!”  I say through my teeth.

“Aren’t you going to introduce your friend to us?” Dana asks.

“This is Shane.  Shane, this is Tina and Dana.”  She forces a smile.

“Nice to meet you.  I have heard so much about the two of you.”  Shane shakes their hand and flashes them her confident smile.

“Oh, we have heard so little about you!” Dana replies, glancing at me.

“Well, I am just asking Carmen if she is free to have dinner with me tonight.  Why don’t you join us?”  Shane turns on her charm with the ladies.

They look at each other and Tina says, “Why not? We are finishing at 7 tonight.”

“Good, I shall pick you up at 7 then. Nice to meet you all.”  Shane stands up and kisses my forehead before I can react.

“I haven’t agreed yet!”  I protest.

“She will be there, I will make sure of that.”  Dana smile evilly.

“Unbelievable!  Good friends you are!” I shake my head, feeling betrayed by my friends.

“Thank you.” Shane winks at Dana.

At 7pm, Dana, Tina and I are walking out of the hospital to check if Shane has arrived or not.  I am not surprised to see Shane in a tight fitted suit, leaning against the hood of a luxury Bentley saloon.

“Hello, gorgeous ladies.” She greets us happily and opens the door for us.  Naturally, they are all expecting me to sit in the front.  To be honest, I feel like I have been set up and being trapped into this whole thing, so I am not really in a talkative mood.
