Before I can mull that over...
Another person pops on the screen.
This time, it's my date: Jarod. He's got blonde hair and a charming smile
Jarod: Sorry I'm late.
His eyes search the screen. Then his smile grows.
Jarod: Wow, Camila?
He fist bumps.
Jarod: Nice work setting me up, Shawn!
Gosh, he seems eager. And as Jarod keeps looking at me with googly eyes...Shawn narrows his own gaze. If I didn't know any better I'd say he's jealous. Nah. Jarod leans closer to the screen.
Jarod: Camila I know this seems impulsive...but let's just skip this double date. I've got Netflix, popcorn...and a lot of other hot things in my apartment.
Jarod: What's wrong?
Shawn: You might want to slow your roll, man. I told you Camila likes laid back guys...not THIS.
Jarod: Woah...okay Mr Chastity Belt. I think I know how to handle a date.
Shawn crosses his arms. Sidney clears her throat. Everyone blinks as if remembering that she's still here.
Sidney: Now I know something is going on with you two...like I said before.
My eyes widen
Shawn: You're wrong Sidney...Cami and I are just-
Sidney: Friends? Give me a break, every since Jarod got here, you've been bristling like a porcupine...and Camila...girl? Just look at yourself. Your cheeks get red every time Shawn even says something.
I look at the screen. She's right- I'm as red as a beet. Sidney huffs out a breath.
Sidney: Jarod, if you're still offering Netflix and popcorn...give me a call....clearly I'm available tonight.
She hangs up, disappearing from the screen. That leaves Jarod.
Jarod: I think I'm gonna take her up on that offer...you two kids have fun.
Then he's gone, too.
Shawn and I just sit there.
