Jorge

*I was on my way to the café to see Tini. I won't stay away because she said so. It's so much fun seeing her angry. Suddenly, someone from behind hung their arm over my shoulders*

J: What do you want Diego?

D: Good morning to you too tiger

J: Don't start with the whole tiger and mouse thing because I-

D: Who was that latina mouse you had home yesterday?

J: ...my friend

D: Another "friend"? You hit the jackpot buddy!

J: Yeah but SOMEONE had to come and interrupt us.

D: It won't happen again, sorry. Anyway, I wanted to talk about what you said a few days ago at the meeting. I can't do the research alone

J: Why not? You're good at this stuff.

D: We are talking about one of the most difficult locking systemes, not an abandonned house.

J: Ugh, okay. Ruggero will help you. But I need what I wanted in... two weeks. Then I will share the prize with you

D: Great! Now, where are you going?

J: Somewhere where you aren't if you know what I mean

D: Oh, you are going to surprise your mouse.

J: Right.

D: Alright, see you later tiger

J: Bye!

*We walked different ways just a few metres from the café. I walked in and faced Stephie, happy as always.*

S: Hi!

J: Hey, I'll take the usual order. And one chocolate muffin please.

S: Alright, it will be done in a while.

*I stood at the cashdesk for a while, looking around for Martina. She said I should call her. I pulled out my phone, dialed her number and heard her ring tone from the kitchen back there.*

M: Hello?

J: Hi, I was wondering if you wanted to see me because I am here

M: Yeah, I know

J: Come out for a while

M: No way

J: I am trying to be nice and you just turn me down?

M: ...give me a minute

*I hang up and waited. After a while, when Stephie was gone, Martina walked out with my order*

M: I didn't mean it like this when I told you to call me

J: Oops, mistakes happen

*I took my coffee, leaving the dessert in her hand*

J: I bought that one for you

M: Oh, thank you.

*I reached out for her hand and rubbed it for a while. Until I saw Stephie coming*

J: Someone will have a problem here

M: Oh no. See you later

J: Later sweetheart
