Say You Love Me

Phone Calls [Bethany]

"I wonder what's taking them so long!" I say to Sadie. We were both waiting at the studio for Mark and Derek. Fifteen minutes had already passed, and like Sadie and I predicted, they were late. 

"They better hurry, I'm so hungry!" Sadie complains. She then looks down at her phone and her face brightens up. "It's Mark!" She puts the phone to her ear and says hello. She then just sits there with a blank face. 

"Sadie? What's he saying?" I ask, confused. 

"I think he pocket dialed me or something! I don't hear him that well, but I can hear him talking to someone." she says. I nodd, agreeing, then go to my mirror to make sure my make up still looks fresh.

"OOOH I'M GOING TO LISTEN ON THEIR CONVERSATION." Sadie says excitedly. I laugh, and say

"You do that, Sadie. Let me know what they say." I go back to perfecting my make up while Sadie sits with her phone glued to her ear pracitcally. My face looks a bit shiny, so I add more of the foundation on. I guess I've just been getting nervous.

"Keep what between you and Derek?" I hear Sadie say. I turn around quickly and give her a look. She looks shocked and puts her hand on her mouth.

"They just hung up on me. I didn't even mean to say anything, it just came out." She sighs, then says, "If I didn't say anything, I may have been able to hear."

"It's cool Sadie, it probably wasn't that big of a deal." I say to her. But in all honesty, I was curious myself. "I'm gonna give Derek a call, and ask when they're coming."

"Ok, but don't mention what happened. Just act like I'm not with you right now" Sadie says.

"Alright." I grab my phone and walk out the door. I unlock my phone and look for Derek's contact. When I find it, I stare at his contact picture. It was when we first met. He looked so good that day. What are you saying Beth? He looks perfect everyday. I snap out of my thoughts, and give him a call.

It rings for a while and I start to get worried. Just as I was about to hang up, I hear Derek's  voice.

"Hey Bethany, sorry we're late! We just got in to Mark's car right now!" I smile at the sound of his voice.

"Its cool Derek, Sadie and I were just wondering" I reply.

"Sadie? W-were you or are you with Sadie right now?" He stumbles. He must be worried about what just happened. I remember what Sadie told me and say,

"Um, no. I just went to get my makeup and such like 10 minutes ago to put it on." I lie. I hear a sigh of relief, then Derek say,

"Oh ok, just wondering! Ok so we'll be there in 10 minutes, can't wait to see you gorgeous!" My smile gets bigger. I say bye and we hang up. I walk back to Sadie and tell her that they're heading our way now.

"Ok, I'll just go grab my bag. Oh, did Derek act weirdly at all?" Sadie asks me.

I tell her that he asked me if I was with her and sounded relieved once I said I wasn't.

"Well that sounds suspicious." Sadie says. "Maybe they were talking about you?" I think about it. What would they be talking about me that was so secretive? Oh boy, this is going to bother me the whole night.
