Him | HerThat is absolute cheating!
Hello to you too, Shawn. (Yawns)
Are you yawning at me!?
Yup.
You're annoying!
Already?
What's your name L?
You really want to know?
Yes. I want to know it right now!
Sha-
No! You saw me yesterday! I did not see you! You cheated! Tell me your name right now! I deserve that at least!
Lylah. My name is Lylah Amiri.
Lylah.
Yeah. You can end the call if you want.
What? Why will I want that?
Because, my name's Lylah?
When did I say I have a problem with that name? You're confusing.
Duh! Lylah is a Muslim name.
So?
You have no problem with that?
Are you a mental case?
Answer me seriously, Shawn. You have no problem with me being a Muslim?
Why will I have a problem with that!?
Oh my God! Thank you!! I was so scared! I thought you'll leave me.
You need treatment.
Whatever. If you get beaten up your whole life for belonging to a particular caste, you tend to think like me.
What the hell!? That was the reason your father..?
Hmm.
That's disgusting.
But, that's the truth.
Can we meet? Please.
Ok.
OH MY GOD! When are you free?
Tomorrow. At 5. Cafe Hearts.
Done!!
I have your jacket, by the way.
That jacket is one lucky thing!
What?
Nothing, hehe.
You're weird.
I have a talent of being weird when it comes to you.
...
Stop laughing, L. Er, Lylah.
I prefer L.
Lylah is much better. It's the best name I know!
Thank you.
Is Lylah blushing?
Stop it!
She is!!!
Bye Shawn! I hate you!
Love you, too!
~call ended~
I love annoying her!
Love you, three Shawn.
