(Maya knocks on the door)
Męnz: Please come in.
Maya: Thanks. Good morning.
Męnz: Morning.
Maya: Is Bobs around?
Męnz: Oh yh. Please have a seat. He'd be here in a sec.
Maya: Alright then.
(Męnz enters the bathroom)
Męnz: She's here.
Bobs: Well, I'm done. How does it smell like?
Męnz: Mmm, it's great.
Bobs: Well, where is she?
Męnz: She'd in the living room. Should I tell her you're coming or you'd go yourself. You know, it's better you go yourself. It's kinda romantic.
Bobs: Since when did you know anything about romance?
Męnz: Actually I know a lot. Why don't we stop talking and go
Bobs: Wait, Wait! What about my dressing?
Męnz: It's on point. Now let's go.
Bobs: I'm kinda nervous.
Męnz: Should I go and tell her you're not coming.
Bobs: No no let's go.
( Bobs and Męnz enter the living room)
Maya: Oh hey you're here. Nice outfit by the way.
Bobs: Thank you. You're is fantastic.
Maya: Oh thank you very much. Shall we go?
Bobs: Oh yh, of course.
(Bobs and Maya leave the room. Bobs shut the door.)
Maya: Soo... Where are we heading?
Bobs: Actually I had no place in mind. Do you have any place in mind?
Maya: Actually we could go to the mall and do some window shopping.
Bobs: Well... Let's go then. Taxi or Trotro?
Maya: Any
Bobs: Taxi!!!
Taxi Driver: Where you heading mate?
Bobs: The mall.
Taxi Driver: Hop in. I'll get you there in no time.
(They both enter the Taxi)
Bobs: Forgive me if I don't do anything right. Actually it's my first time taking a girl out.
Maya: I was about to say the same thing. It's also my first time. Let's just take things nice and slow. Trust me, it's for the better.
Bobs: Alright then.
Taxi Driver: We'd keep long a little bit. Looks like traffic started growing.
Bobs: Ok.
Maya: I thought Męnz was dating.
Bobs: Naa, he said it might interrupt his academics.
Maya: Oh actually it doesn't. It depends on the people in the relationship and their background.
Bobs: That's what I tried telling him but he wouldn't listen.
(Taxi suddenly stops)
Bobs: Well, looks like we're here. Please how much is it?
Taxi Driver: GH¢29
Bobs: Ok. Here you go.
(Męnz and Maya get out of the Taxi. They walk slowly towards the entrance of the mall)
Maya: Wow! Oh have a look. Ain't the dress amazing?
Bobs: Yh it is.
Maya: They're all fantastic.
Bobs: Why, would you buy any of them.
Maya: Oh no, it's just window shopping. Actually let's leave.
Bobs: Oh why? Did I annoy you?
Maya: Oh no, I'm just hungry.
Bobs: Hey, why don't we go for lunch.
I'd be great.
Maya: Is it far from here?
Bobs: No, not at all. It's just a few steps away from here.
Waiter: Hello and what can I get you.
Maya: Fried rice and chicken.
Waiter: What about you Sir?
Bobs: Just vegetables.
(Waiter leaves)
Maya: Don't tell me you're shy to eat rice in my presence.
Bobs: Oh so you've figured it out. I thought you didn't notice is.
(Two waiters approach with the food)
Waiter: Here you go. Enjoy your meal.
Bobs: Thank you.
Maya: I'm a little worried about Bifa. She's in the room all by herself.
Bobs: Don't worry. It's not like something bad will happen to her. Actually it's getting late.
Maya: Yhyh. I'm done eating. Have you tipped the waiter.
Bobs: Yh.
Maya: Wow, I didn't see that.
Bobs: He came when you were in the restroom. Shall we go?
Maya: Of course.
