OH, HI BABES," BEGINS Alena as she looks over at Venisha and rolls her eyes. "Um, you know what? I'm not going to be where I told you to pick me up."
Deuce's heart rate speeds up just a little. However, he relaxes and says, "Yeah, so where do you want me to pick you up?"
"Um," Alena bites down on her lip. "You know where I told you to meet me, yeah... well, I want you to meet me outside the bus station on the main road instead, yeah? Someone will drop my friend and me off, so be there about half-ten."
Deuce wants to suck his teeth because the arrangement was to meet at half-past nine. Now he has to kill an hour. He really hates waiting around once he is ready.
He looks up at the time. It reads seven forty-five, "Yeah, alright," he finally says, "but I thought we said half-nine?"
"Yeah, I know," Alena pulls the phone away from her ear and holds back a laugh, "but I have to sort out something before I come, innit."
"Alright, just make sure you're there, you know, don't let me have to wait around for you."
"Nah, I'll be there, babes, don't worry." She covers her mouth from laughing.
"Alright. Oi, oi, oi, is the friend you bringing nice?"
"Yeah, man, she's nice. Just like me."
He nods. "Alright, later."
"Yeah, later," responds Alena as she ends the call and bursts out laughing.
Deuce throws the phone onto his bed and continues getting ready with a feeling of uneasiness.
