Mimie I thought you never liked Jason. So how come you are now close to the extend of you paying him a visit?

MIMIE

He once saved me so there things changed.

JANE

And you didn't tell me about the assault and the fact that you are now friends with Jason

MIMIE

Okay about the assault, I'm sorry i didn't tell you but as for Jason and I being friends, I didn't see a need telling anyone by the way you are the one who told me to be nice towards him

JANE

Mimie do you like Jason? Answer me sincerely?

MIMIE

What's with the question?

JANE

Just answer me damn it ( She raised her

voice a little)

MIMIE

You do not need to raise your voice at me Jane. Anyway he doesn't fancy me so it's of no use liking him right?

JANE

I'm just making sure we aren't going for the same man cuz if that be the case, then be prepared cuz I'm not backing down (she sternly stated and left)

MIMIE

No of course but he said he won't stop till I become his again. Gosh what kind of life is this? I like someone who doesn't like me back and now Brown is back to make my life more complicated.

NADIA

If he doesn't like you then why not give Brown a chance?

MIMIE
