Phones

Chapter 4

Ding.

I glance down at my phone and a small smile suddenly appears on my face. I quickly open the message.

Forth: Do you want to go out to eat tonight? My treat.

I slowly shake my head. I still haven't paid him back for buying my phone.

Beam: Sure, but I'm buying. No arguing.

Forth: 😢 But I want to treat you..

Beam: No. You have paid for too much so far.

Beam: It is my turn to treat you for once.

Tap. Tap.

I look up from my phone and I'm met with Pha's stern look. He motions his chin towards my phone and barks, "We are studying. Save that for later."

Ugh. He is such a spoiled sport.

I sigh and hold up my index finger. "I just need to finish this. Hold on for a second."

Pha rolls his eyes and huffs, "Whatever. Make it quick."

Beam: I have to go. Boss doesn't want to be distracted.

Forth: Boss?

Beam: hahaha.. Pha doesn't want his study time interrupted.

Beam: I'll talk later. Bye.

Forth: Okay. I'll wait until then.

Tap. Tap.

I glance up from phone and once again, Pha is tapping his finger on the table. Geez. Didn't I tell him that I needed a couple seconds and to wait?

Pha doesn't say anything. He just stares at me with his stern look. Man, he has that father look down so well. He will make a good dad someday.

I raise my eyebrows and taunt, "I'm done. I'll talk to him later."

Kit looks up from his books. A smirk slowly begins to dance across his face as he teases, "Is that all that you will be doing with him? After all, you already stayed the night with him."

He pauses for a moment and looks me over once from head to toe. "Well, I have to say I don't think that you did anything with him though. I have a feeling after meeting him, that you may not be able to walk after he is done with you."

What the heck? Two can play at this game.

I lean forward and put my arms on the table as my finger begins to little tap the tabletop. While playfully looking at Kit, I chime, "Hmmmm... I think that I would have to say the same thing about you, Kitty. I think if that Ming guy ever got his claws into you, I don't think that you would be able to even get out of bed for days."
