A SHORT STORY

I NEED A FAVOR

Part 1

One friday afternoon, you just finished working out. You grab a gym towel along with your things and walk towards the parking lot and went back to your car 🚘 .

While you were driving, your phone 📱 suddenly rang which is on the passenger seat. Jared's name showed up on the display screen of your dashboard. Luckily your phone 📱 is connected via bluetooth so the call 📲 can be answered immediately.

Ashley: Hey Jared, what's up?
Jared: Ash, where have you been? You're not answering your phone 📱 .
Ashley: I just got off the gym. My phone 📱 was inside my gym bag. Why?
Jared: I need to talk you. Can you come over?
Ashley: I'm on my way home 🏠 . I need to shower 🚿 and change my clothes.
Jared: I really need to talk to you. You can shower 🚿 here at my house 🏠 and i will let you borrow some of my clothes.
Ashley: I'm only a few blocks away from my apartment 🏠 .
Jared: Where are you exactly? My house 🏠 isn't that far away from you. Turn around and drive over here.
Ashley: You don't know how to ask nicely you know.
Jared: I'll be expecting you. You should be here within the next 15 - 20 minutes.
Ashley: Fine! I'm gonna turn around and drive over there now.

*He quickly hung up without saying goodbye*

As you continue driving, you thought about what he wants to discuss with you and you can't help but think why he ask you to come over despite the fact that you've been to his house 🏠 on several occasions before like 4th of july, thanksgiving 🦃 , and during his birthday which happened several months ago. 20 minutes later, you finally reached his house 🏠 . You pulled over and park on the drive way. You grab your gym bag from the trunk and walk towards a small gate. As you were about to press the door 🚪 bell 🛎 , the small gate swung open and there he was standing there.

Jared: You made it.
