"Just calling to check up on you two lovebirds." said Philip as he gave Tori a call; she sauntered behind Matty when she actually stopped moving and picked up her phone. They walked as silently as they did when they first went into club together; except glances hadn't been exchanged and instead, urges of speaking to one another were being fought.
"I'm afraid you've classified us as the wrong birds. There isn't anything romantic going on." Replied Tori, taking a final glance at Matty, who continued to walk, before turning away.
"What? What happened?" said Philip with a hint of worry
"Calm down, it's nothing, really." said Tori with a sigh, "We're just not speaking to each other at the moment. Anyway, anything new on your search for Elias?"
"Look, I'm sure that pretty little head of yours can take a break from worrying about Elias. I'm sure he's slurring somewhere and he's fine." frowned Philip, "What the hell happened between you two?"
"I don't even know, I swear." she replied with irritation, "We were talking and somehow, love came up and I explained how I thought everything was going to have to end some time. I used tonight as an example, then he started walking back to the car, saying that he was ready for the night to end."
Based on the deep breath taken by Philip on the other line, Tori had taken it upon herself to explain further, "Look, it doesn't matter. Maybe it's just because we're all exhausted from tonight, I really wouldn't blame him."
"It's not that" said a different voice. Tori sighed, only realizing then that she had been on speaker phone the entire time. "You see, when it comes to girls, it takes a while for Matty to truly warm up to them without any of us by his side. Like, girlfriends have kind of been a problem because a couple of them get uncomfortable at how we're kind of like girlfriends, y'know?" continued George, "And it's actually pretty amazing how he's managed to get this far with you on his own and in one night."
"Maybe the only reason he said that was because he saw that tonight didn't mean as much to you as it did to him. It's up to you to tell him otherwise if you want to but trust us, he doesn't mean any of it." added Adam.
"The exact opposite, actually." snickered Ross.
The phone was then handed back to Philip and because of the lack of noise, Tori recognized that she was no longer on speaker phone. And though it had been rather embarrassing for George, Ross and Adam to have heard whatever it was she'd done to offend their friend, she was thankful nonetheless for what they'd told her in order to help.
"Philip, are you honestly trying to get my love life back together right now? Just cause I want a cute guy from art class to call me doesn't exactly mean I'm looking for a relationship." Smirked Tori, "You've got Elias to worry about. I mean, how do you know all this is going to work?"
"You may be tired because of your hurting feet or probably an itching bra, but let me tell you something: tonight's one of the only instances you don't have to bat your lashes or flip your blonde hair to reel in a guy. All I'm saying is that you need to give him and yourself a chance...Elias wouldn't want you missing out just because of those limitations." said Philip, "Trust me, Matty is definitely worth the underwire, he just needs a little push. that's all."
"Okay, I'll do what I can to patch things up." smiled Tori, her phone then notified her of an incoming call and her conversation had been cut short, "Got a call waiting, can I call you back?"
After Philip had hung up, Tori took the call and heard yet another familiar voice."Tori?"
Her eyes widened in disbelief, "holy shit!"
