Jorge's pov

J: See you tomorrow Martina

M: Thanks for the gift today

J: You're welcome

*I closed the door, took my coat from the cabinet and left the hospital. I sat in the car and pulled off to Stephie's house. What does she want to talk about? She sounded serious. When I arrived at her house, I stood at the door, getting quite nervous.*

S: Hi

J: H-hey.

S: Why didn't you knock?

J: You were faster

S: Uh, come in

*I came in and looked around. Quite childish for a grown-up but not bad. I sat in the living room and waited for her to come*

J: So, what do you want to talk about? You sounded worried

S: Yeah, I wanted to talk about... do you want some coffee?

J: Yeah, sure

S: With milk or water?

J: Milk please

S: I'll be right back

*She left the room and showed up again after nearly ten minutes*

S: Here

*She said, placing the mug on the table*

J: Thanks. Can we keep on talking about why you-

S: And any snack? Cookies? Have you eaten dinner yet?

J: No, thanks. Stephie. Let's get to the point. What do you want to talk about

S: I... well... wanted to talk about us

J: Us?

S: Yes. We know each other for a quite long time, had gone out a few times. And I wanted to ask if this is gonna be something.

J: You mean a relationship?

S: Yeah, look, I think we really could have something. I feel so nice with you

J: So you want me to ask you on a date?

S: No no no, that is your decision wether to ask or not.

J; Uhm, I think I get it

S: Really?

J: Yeah. And I am sorry. I think you are a good friend. But nothing more

S: Not yet, so, we could actually have something?

J: Mabye

S: Jorge, I know about your mom's situation so I am just trying to help

J: Help me how?

S: Tell you that I have interest in you too

J: Uhm. Well, thanks for help. Now I gotta go

*Even though I tried to hide it, I answered quite annoyed and stood up, heading to the door*

S: I am trying to help you! Do you want your mother to see your girl? You have no other choice than me!
