Year: 2000. 10:43PM Las Vegas. On the roof of a casino.
"Okay Fellows! Cheers for us 6!"
"Harry, Jennifer, Christina, Leah, Angelo and Adam! Best Friends Forever" We all scream and drink the shots
Year:2014. 3:11AM Manhattan
Harry's POV
*beep* *beep* *beep*
I wake up and strech my arm to find my phone.
I find it and unlock it. The light burns my eyes, of course.
I read the caller ID.
Jenny
I answer it.
"Death by shark or alligator?" she's dirrected
"Uh?.. Oh.. Um I dont swim in the ocean" I answer still rubbing my eyes
This is a game we play since the college. It's strange but you can gt to know a person by it. By the decision and choices the person make.
"The alligators live in lakes" she adds
"But sharks live only in the ocean"
"Dont change the rules. Just choose"
"The rules say that the both options have to be real"
"Come on Harry! You cant reduse the risk to 0"
"I can. The shark cant kill me if I dont swim in the ocean right?"
I lay my back on the wall for more comfort. The conversation is going to be long.
"Unless you travel with plane and it breaks and you fall in the ocean"
"I may travel in the continent" I chuckle. Teasing her
"Harry, please. Just choose one" Jen whines
"Okay mad lady. I choose the shark. It's faster. The alligator first drown his victim"
"Okay" she sounds calm
"Are you happy now?"
"Yup"
"Why dont you take the elevator and come over?"
Jennifer and I live in one building. She is on the 3rd floor and Im on the 9th.
"Is Lucy there?" she asks
I turn to the other side of the bed and see her sleeping.
"Yup"
"No I wont. Thank you"
"Come on. It's not a big deal" I try to convince her
"Actually Im thinking to break up with her"
"Why? It's soon. There's no 3 weeks"
"She'll be okay. She will find new guy fast. She- has a good sence of houmor" I said as I look down under the sheets. She knows what Im talking about.
"You're awful" she laughs
"I know. My parents are guilty" I chuckle
"By the way, why are you whispering?" I ask
"There's a guy in my bed"
"Oh really? You didnt tell me anything"
"Theres nothing to talk about. He is an ice cream seller in Central Park. I dont know whats wrong with me"
"Nothing. You're single for years. Thats normal. You need someone down there. If you know what I mean" I chuckle
"I see. Thanks for the advice. If I need good sex I will come to you" she laughs
"In that case you should come over.. No sex okay?" I laugh too
"No. I will take sleeping pills"
"Okay. See you tonight. Who is coming by the way?"
"We six and Lucy. If you dont break up with her within next 10 hours"
"Haha. Okay. I will pick you up at 6"
"Okay. Sweet dreams"
I hung up and shake my head smiling.
She is crazy
Leah's POV
"Angelo! Angelo!" I try to wake him up.
"Yes baby?" he said sleepy
"Did you turn off the oven earlier?"
"I guess"
Dont be a dick Angelo. Look at me when Im talking to you.
"Are you sure?" I hit his shoulder
"Leah, I did turn it off. It was 5pm and now its 4am. We would be burnt already" he screamed and turn his back to me.
He is right. But he could talk normal to me. Not to scream.
How do I live with him for 5 years.. sigh
