"I mean it, if you really need something I could do for you – just tell me, I'm serious"
"I'm serious everything's OK, I'll just spend my evening at home. At least it's a day off so who cares about the party? I'm sure it would be not that good"
"Oh really? That is why you've chosen such a dress?"
"Oh shut up... I'm trying to calm myself down, don't start this over"
They both smiled again.
"So as everything is OK I think I'm going to go. I have to find my guys and I have some stuff to do right now"
"OK sure"
"And by the way can I get your number?"
"My number? I thought you already got it with the help of my little pocket betrayer - Siri"
"I did not. I am not that bad to be searching though your phone for your personal stuff. Believe it or not I really did nothing with your phone."
"That is so sweet... Of course you can get my number"
Alexa took his phone and typed her name and her number into it.
"It will be nice to hear from you sometime as you resulted to be a very nice person"
"Thank you" replied Shawn. "I can say the same about you. Well I must be going already"
"OK see you"
"Bye"
"Bye"
When he left Alexas' house Shawn couldn't stop smiling. He was holding his phone looking on her number on the screen and he was really ready to call her right now because he liked her very much. Meanwhile Alexa was standing in her apartment with flowers in her hands and a smile on her face. Suddenly her phone rang.

"Is it him already?" she thought. But it was Tom.
"Hey girl is everything OK? You didn't call me back"
"I was going to right now"
"So who was it?"
"That was the guy from the coffee shop"
"He stalked you and found out where you live? What an asshole! Are you in danger right now? Maybe I should come?"
"Everything is OK Tom"
"Are you sure? You sound a little bit crazy? Wait, Alexa are you smiling in there?"
"How can you say I'm smiling? This is not laughter that you can hear it over the phone"
"Oh believe me I know you too well, you are smiling right now and after everything that happened I'm a little bit confused and concerned. So what happened?"
"The guy found my phone that I apparently forgot at the coffee house and brought it to my place with the help of Siri – she gave him directions"
"And what about your password?"
"I don't have one"
"I told you to put it for the case something like this happens. You know people can use lost phones for their own benefits"
"And if I did have a password he wouldn't be able to find me"
"At least you could call him and ask to bring it back to you"
"Tom it doesn't matter right now. I have my phone back and I've got an apology so I think that I am going to get over this situation just having a little reminder about it, even though without one I would still remember this day. I'm telling you everything is fine. Let it be a quiet day off when I'd be spending time with myself. It is not really that bad. I mean I'm working and studying all day and communicating with lots of people so maybe I really need to have a rest from all of it and just spent a couple of hours only by myself. Maybe the universe wants me to do that"
"Oh now you're blaming on the universe"
"I'm not blaming on anyone or anything I'm just trying to find the positive in what I have right now. Please I don't want everything to be about that damn cup of coffee. You better tell me about yourself how's your day off?"
"Well it's not that bright as yours but I am also getting ready for the party. I have to do some stuff before, than I can come over to your place and then go to the club"
"Sounds great!"
"Yeah I know that, so call me if you need anything, it doesn't matter how tiny your wish will be - you can still call me and I'll come as soon as I can"
"Thank you for your support I really appreciate that and now go and have some fun"
"Ok, love you, bye"
"Love you too, bye-bye"
