Jane got to her office desk the next day and saw flowers on the table. She smiled as she looked at the card
"To you beautiful"
It said... She grinned more, Then walked over to his office

"Did you write this?"
She asked sitting on his desk chuckling

"Ummm... No"
He said looking away blushing

She laughed out...
"You're just so funny"

"You like them? I mean the flowers? I didn't know if you were the flower type too... I just wanted to try..."
He called out after her

She stopped on her tracks and turned back to give him a smile
"Pick me up by 7"
She walked away

"We got another date!"
Mouth said

"Yeup! I'm so happy! Damn!"
He said

"If things keep going this way, I'm sure of achieving my dream!"
Mouth further said

"Yeah yeah... All you care about is your stupid dream though..."
Right said

"What do you care? Let mouth be"
Ears said

"Enough... Enough... Let's just look at the bright side and go with it... Now I really have to prepare for my date..."
He responded

"So where are you gonna take her?"
Mouth asked

"I'm just gonna make it special"
He said getting back to work

7pm
He was at her door, his heart racing as he rang the doorbell. She didn't seem to respond... He didn't know wether to knock or ring again so as not to sound too desperate... He just stood there numb.

"What's going on?"
Nose asked

"Why the hell isn't she responding?"
Mouth asked

"I don't know... What if she changed her mind? What if she isn't interested in this whole stuff anymore?"
He kept pacing about

"Just calm down... I'm sure she'd be here soon..."
Left said

"Maybe I should just go"
He said

"No no no!
All parts chorused

"What will you have me do?"

"Uhm.. Call her?"
Brain said

The man let a sigh and put his hand over his mouth
"Get yourself off me Right"
Mouth said

"I was only doing my job scumbag!"
Right challenged

"Just stay on your own okay!"
Mouth stated

"I am on my own! Always! But you always choose to pick on me! Maybe I'm not on my own when I do this!..."
Right stated slapping Mouth

"Oops... Too far"
Right said

"Why you little...!"
Mouth said biting Right

The Man let out a loud yelp
"My God! Enough! What's wrong with you!"
He screamed

Just then, Jane came out...
"What's going on! I heard noises... Oh my God, you're bleeding! Were you attacked!"
She ran to him

"No no... I mean yes! Yes... They ran away... Arrgghh!"
He goaned in agony

"Oh... I'm so sorry... Let's... Let's go in"
She said taking him into her home..

Inside her home was really lovely... It was painted cream and there was a lovely setting of chairs in the sitting room too... There were chandeliers and also figurines. He saw some martial arts pictures on the walls and some medals... A picture of her Parents hung on the wall, then her baby pictures too... The light was dim and the TV was off... He admired the place and almost forgot he was in pain...

"I'm sorry... Let me get you some bandages"
She said hurrying into her room

He sat there looking at all the pictures on the wall, admiring how arranged they were... There was one of she and her parents, all wearing Denim... It was a bike ride... And they seemed so happy... He took it off the wall to have closer look... He smiled at the photo

"That was a year before she passed"
Jane stated

He was startled
"I'm sorry for taking it off the wall"
He slowly put It back

"No no... It's fine"
She said

They sat on the couch... She took his hand and  slowly bandaged it
"Ahh"
He muttered

"I'm sorry"
She said
"But what actually happened?"

"Ummm... I was attacked"
He said looking away awkwardly

"But, we... We usually don't record cases of attacks in the estate and..."

"Oh... Oh my God, the pain... The agony! Oh!"
He said holding his head

"Aww... Poor thing, let me get you some water"
She said walking into the kitchen

"Yes... Water will be fine"
He called after her looking at her go... He then turned to himself
"What! I nearly got caught! What's wrong with you parts! Why do you always have to be in the way?"

"Right started this"
Mouth said

"Oh shut up Mouth"
The Man said

"But if I do we won't have this conversation"
Mouth said

"Can you... Well!"
The Man said infuriated

"Were you saying something? I thought I heard something"
She stated

"Nothing... I didn't say anything..."
He said taking the water from her and sipping watching her sit

She starred at him
He looked over at her and smiled
"Anything the matter?"

She looked away, pushing her hair backwards, then starring back at him
"You haven't really told me anything about yourself"
She said

"Not that I don't want to... It's just that there's nothing to say"
He looked away

"Why?"

"I don't really know"

"Did something happen?"

"Nothing"

"Are you sure?"

"It's just a painful memory"
He looked away

"Oh... I'm sorry"

"You haven't even heard it yet"
He looked into her eyes

"Are you willing to tell me?"
She starred at him back
He sighed

  "Look, its okay if you don't want to tell me"
She said

He smiled
"I do..."
He held her hand

"Oh... We're about to have a moment"
Mouth whispered

"What?"
Jane retorted

"Nothing... Nothing..."

"Are you okay?"

"Yes... Just forget I said that, let's just get on with me talking"
He said

"Okay then, I'd love to hear it"
She said
