Catch me if you can

chapter 26

Jorge

*In the middle of our job, my phone started ringing. I looked at the ID and Tini's photo on the screen. Dang it. I can't... ugh. I can't pick up. But I can't ignore her.*

D: Who that?

N: It's your girlfriend, right? Oh, I almost forgot you can't pick up because you banned girls

J: Shut up

*I declined the call and kept on doing my job. After fourty more minutes of vivid work, all of us started getting tired.*

J: Alright, time to sleep now.

*I turned off the computer and headed to my room*

D: Great. Jorge?

J: Yeah?

D: Is my room still mine? I thought you'd like to paint it pink for your giiirlfrieeend

*I threw a beer can toward his head but his reflex worked as usually and he caught it. The other guys just laughed*

J: Leave her alone. You know she won't stay for too long anyway

*I gushed and went to my room.
The guys each went to the three rooms, which are usually empty. A flat too big for me.*

...

*I woke up, did my morning routine and arrived at the kitchen where Ruggero was making breakfast.*

D: Good morning

*I opened the fridge and looked for some drinks we could have for meal. Nothing.*

J: We don't have any proper drinks. I will go get some.

N: You have a tap with water over there

J: ... you want to drink water? As I said, I'll get us some proper drinks.

*Before anyone could say anything, I wore my jacket and drive to the café. Luckily, I saw Tini on the other side of the room, so I slid there and patted her butt*

M: What the- what the hell?

J: Hi!

M: Never do that again

J: Nah. You liked it.

M: What are you doing here?

J: I came to see you. And buy some proper drinks

M: We don't have beer, sorry

J: No, I'll buy drinks later in the supermarket

M: ... I called you last night

J: Oh, sorry. Unfortunately my phone is broken

M: Really?

J: Yeah.

M: Nevermind then, I wanted to ask you if you have time tonight

J: Tonight? No, sorry.

M: Why?

J: You know, my job. I have to make an important task. And as always I left it until the deadline.

M: Okay... good luck then

J: Thanks sweetheart

*I leaned in and wanted to kiss her, but she made it a cheek kiss. Then I left.*

Martina

*Broken phone. A typical excuse. Of course he didn't answer. They had too much time with the robbery.*
