Character: Dell, Adam, Otis, Nelly
Time: Almost midnight
Background:Technically, Dell and Adam are net-friends. They chatted for several time on a website then they decided to meet each other. So one day, they met in a garden and had very great night but a little bit awkward that because Dell is a very shy and quite girl. Basically, that was the first time for to meet someone only know on the Internet. She was very nervous and didn’t talk too much.
Tonight is the third time they get together. Both of them just look like the other two appointments and a little bit closer than before. But the truth is that Adam is a little down in mood.
In the bar, they are talking drinking. It’s not like drinking in China, they are drinking, just drinking. Finally, Adam is drunk, yes, drunk. He’s going through something, but she doesn’t know. And he doesn’t anything.
The clock is 23.58 now, she has to take him home. The problem is she doesn’t know the exact location of his home. Now, the cell phone is the best friend ever. She took his phone and called his brother, Otis,
“Hello, it’s Adam’s phone, is this Otis? His brother?”
“I’m his friend and he’s drunk now. We are on a taxi, but I don’t the address, could you please tell the driver where does he live?”
“Now what, the code. Hey, Adam, wake up, be sober, okay? What’s the entrance code, we need the code to go inside.” “Well, I have to call Otis again, he is the only one you told about with me.”
“Hey, Otis, it’s me again. Now we are in the front of the building, but I need the entrance code, do you know it?”
“Hey, I’m Dell, I have met your girlfriend at Adam’s house the other day. You could ask her, I’m just telling you that I’m not a liar. Or you could come by and take him inside”
“Driver, could you please help me take him into his room “
“Adam, where’s your key? Okay, pocket. No, the purse.’
“Great, and here’s the money. Thank you very much, sir. Drive safe sir”
” Hmm, hmm, hmm, no, Adam, for God sake.”
More than 4 hours later.
” What the hell? Dell, what the hell are you doing here? Hey, hey, hey, you can sleep in the bed.”
“Oh, god. What time is it? No, I can walk there.”
After 4 hours, it’s already 9.13 in the morning.
” Hey, you wake up. Good morning”
“Good morning, I need toilet. Are you feeling better now?”
……
“Thank you for last night”
“Thank you for letting me stay over, you know, it was too late to catch the train.”
“No problem at all, did I say or do something stupid last night?”
“Um… yes, you kept calling Nelly. It’s a name, isn’t it? Your girlfriend? Or ex?”
“Sorry”
“Don’t be. You also robbed my first kiss, I always think it would be special, and you ruined it. You were saying you wanna have sex with me, and I poured one cup of water straight on your face and I’m not sorry for this, you don’t give a choice; then your shirt was getting wet, I had to take it off for you and also sorry for this. After that, I put that cup of boiled water on that desk in front of your face. Then I turned the TV on and got some sleep. You know all the left, don’t you?”
“Sorry and thank you. Firstly, yes, she’s my ex. But i’m moving on now, I don’t know why was I calling her name instead of the face in my head.”
“I know, because you still love her and she’s always in your mind”
“No, it’s not true.” Suddenly, “Did you just say that I kissed you last night?”
“Yea, and trying to rape me.”
“I was drunk”
“I know”
“I’m sorry. The one in my mind was you, not Nelly thing, it was you.”
Speechless….
