“What the hell did you do Jake?” River furiously asked over the phone. Jake was having dinner with Chelsea.
“What did I do?” he asked puzzled.
“Tala’s been crying. I don’t know how to make her stop”
“Is that her in the background?” he asked because he could hear her crying.
“Obviously” their landlady sarcastically replied.
“How’s that possible? I just saw her this afternoon”
“Where?” River was puzzled.
“Here in Batangas”
“Are you there with a girl?” she asked.
“Yes..”
“Oh that explains a lot” she replied. “So how do I make her stop crying? Do I press her nose? Pull her ear? Do I dance? Do I have to sing her a song?” she sarcastically asked.
“Can you pass your phone to her?” he asked. He heard static noises.
“I fucking hate you!” Tala cried then she hang up.
“Are you okay?” Chelsea asked. “You look pale”.
“’Im sorry but I need to go” he said as he stood up. He felt horrible.

“Ouch!” he complained. “This is my room” reminded her pretty amused.
“You’re suppose to be snogging with that b*tch”
