Shane’s POV

My date with Carmen last night ended in a disaster. Usually I get into trouble because of leaving the girl I had sex with without leaving any message. I get to know them in a bar or at a club. We talk a bit, we laugh, they ask me to go home with them. I sleep with them and when I wake up I leave immediately.
This time it was totally different. This time I was in the shithouse because of not having slept with Carmen. What an irony.
I took my cell phone to call the only one who was able to make me think of something else.

"Hello?"

"I’m okay. Mum’s back. She had a fight with dad last night…"

"Oh…is everything okay now?"

"Yeah…I think so. They are not fighting anymore. They want to go out having dinner in a restaurant with me later."

"Well, that sounds great."

"No…It’s going to be boring. I prefer staying at home and playing basketball with my friends but dad insisted."

"Oh okay. I see, but you know what? I’m pretty sure that it’s not going to be too boring. Just tell them about our weekend and maybe about Jared. They will be glad to hear that you have a friend in L.A."

"Yeah…You know you could come, too."

"I don’t think that’s a good idea. But we could that at some other time, if you want to."

"Yeah…how’s Carmen? Did she like the pasta?"

"I think so. Don’t worry, I told her that you helped me."

"So you had a great evening?"

"Well…at the beginning, yes. But it didn’t end well. She’s mad at me because she thinks that I don’t like her anymore."

"But you do like her, right?"

"Yes."

"Did you tell her that you like her?"

"Sort of."

"Well then we are going to hang up right now. And you call her to tell her that you like her. Tell her that you like a lot."

"I don’t know. I think she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore."

"Well call her one million times until she listens to you. You know it’s like trying to convince dad to buy a new game. I wask about 10 times a day until he gives up. That always works."
