MIMIE
How are you doing Jason? She asked smiling.
JASON

MIMIE
I'm fine too. Where you headed?
JASON
I want to see a friend down the road.
MIMIE
Oh I thought Nathan was your only friend
JASON
Nope we are actually four just that Nathan and I are closer to each other than with the other two
MIMIE
Ooh that's cool. Um.......Jason I know I've been a b***h to you and for that I'm very sorry. Would you please forgive this arrogant girl? She asked putting on her most cutest puppy eyes
JASON

MIMIE

JASON

Jason joins his friend at Collins place.
FRED
I thought you won't make it
JASON
And miss free merriments ? Never (They laughed)
NATHAN
You were out all yesterday and even as you came back we haven't had time to talk. How was your date? He asks teasingly.
JASON
Are you sick or something? It wasn't a date but nevertheless, it went well and I had fun
NATHAN
Guys I'm a love guru okay....so when I say something, you guys should take it seriously. That Jane has it hot for Jason trust me.
COLLINS
A love guru who has been having countless failed relationships. we hear you sire preach on (They erupted in laughter )
JASON
By the way something shocking happened on my way here. I actually passed by the girls house.
NATHAN/COLLINS/FRED
And? They asked eagerly
JASON
And I saw Mimie out side so I decided to stop and say hi. You know, she walked up to me smiling and even strikes a conversation to the extend of apologising for being rude.
FRED
Why do I feel like something is brewing?
NATHAN
Exactly my thoughts. You are now thinking sharp like me. He worded in a boastful manner
COLLINS
Guys let him finish. He scolded
JASON
But you know what completely blew me away? she asked for my number. Guys she fucken asked for my number Jason excitedly said
COLLINS

JASON

COLLINS

JASON
Guys chill okay......cuz there is no more plan
FRED
Wait....Just like that?
JASON
Yes just like that.
NATHAN
And you want us to believe you do not feel something for this girl?
JASON
Guys see, me not forging ahead with my plans is not a sign of having feelings for her because this is not the case. I do not do love and definitely not the dating type come on, you guys know me.
NATHAN
Okay fine but be careful because I feel you will be an issue or cause a rift between the girls
FRED
I think Nathan has a point bro just be careful
JASON

She ends the call and continued with her cooking while singing and smiling.

THIS SCENE UNFOLDS AT THE GIRL'S LIVING ROOM WITH SHARON ON PHONE
SHARON
I got a feeling she is doing something shady like she is not who she portrays herself to be
CALLER
So what do you want to do?
SHARON
Confront her about it because I'm tired of this cold war.
CALLER
What if she tags you a liar?
SHARON
Then God will bear me witness that I tried.
CALLER
Sharon please do not start another fight or argument just let it be for now
SHARON
You keep saying these come on i miss my friend
CALLER
Patience Sharon trust me when it's time, I won't stop you
SHARON
Fine. (Angrily ends the call)
Jane comes back from work and meets Sharon manipulating her phone all grumpy
JANE
What's with the face ?
SHARON
You are back
JANE
Yes ohh...... I'm tired and famished. You cook?
SHARON
No but Mimie did
JANE
Wait did I hear you right? Mimie cooked?
SHARON
Emhmmm she did
Confirming it, Jane rushed to the kitchen and dished out her food before settling down on the dinning table.
JANE
Where is she by the way?
SHARON
After cooking, she dished some and left with it
JANE
Mmmmmm I wonder who she is taking it to
SHARON
Jane can I ask you something?
JANE
Sure shoot
SHARON
Do you have a thing for Jason? (That question startled Jane )
JANE
Why are you asking?
SHARON
Because I saw the way you looked at him the other day
JANE
Ohh but I'm not alone in this cuz I saw the way you looked at him too.
SHARON
Do not shift it to me.
JANE
Why? You are scared Mimie will tag you a home wrecker again?
SHARON
Jane (she furiously calls out)
JANE
Oops I forgot truth hurts.
SHARON
It doesn't change the fact that I know you have a thing for him
JANE
What if I say yes is there anything wrong with it huh?
SHARON
No but I just don't want any fights
JANE
What do you mean by that?
SHARON
What I mean is, I see the way he looks at Mimie and I can tell he is interested in Mimie and not you
JANE
But Mimie doesn't fancy him so I'm not doing anything wrong or do you think everyone is like you
SHARON
What was that?
JANE
You heard me. (She replied sarcastically)
SHARON
I see you guys have labelled me the black sheep in this friendship but mind you that a day doesn't come when the table turns around enjoy your meal. (She walks away pissed)
JANE
Yen yen yen whatever.
THIS SCENE WILL UNFOLD AT THE HOUSE OF JASON
Jason has been anxiously waiting and finally the knock on the door came through. He did a little self fixing, looks around to be sure everything is in place before going to open the door.
MIMIE
Hi Jason (She gave him a dazzling smile which got him mesmerised for a while)
JASON
Hi please do come in and make yourself comfortable.
MIMIE
Thank you. Here I brought something for you guys hope you don't mind.
JASON
Of course we don't.(He opens the flask pipping at it's content)wao you shouldn't have bothered.
MIMIE
You guys said you wanted to have a taste of my cooking so here it is.
JASON
Wao Mimie I really appreciate thank you.
MIMIE
You're welcome. Where is Nathan?
JASON
Nathan stepped out but he sent his greetings
MIMIE
Okay cool
JASON
So what do I offer you?
MIMIE
Anything alcoholic
JASON
Okay give me a minute
He goes into the kitchen, got some chilled wine but before that, he placed the food she brought in the fridge before returning to the living room with the wine and two glasses. He opened the wine and served her before serving himself.
MIMIE
Cheers to a new found friendship (cheers). A nice place you got here
JASON
Thanks though I will say it's not as cozy as your place
MIMIE
I figured you will say that (they both smiled)
JASON
How are your friends Jane and Sharon?
MIMIE
They are both doing well
JASON
Great. Can you pinch me ?
MIMIE
Why should I do that?
JASON
Cuz I feel like it is a dream
MIMIE
it's not a dream okay. (She Chuckle) I know I've been nasty with my behaviour in the past and for that I still want to say I'm sorry
JASON
Apology long accepted
MIMIE
Thanks Jason
JASON
So what changed your mind?
MIMIE
Hmmm tricky question. Actually that night you helped me changed my mind then couple it with the things Jane talked to me about. I gave everything a deep thought and realised that's not who I am so there
JASON
That's great. I didn't hate your sassy and rude version because it got me intrigued but I love this you version more
MIMIE
Thanks.
SHE SMILES. THEY STARE AT EACH OTHER BEFORE HE LOOKED AWAY CLEARING HIS THROAT AND LOOKED AT HIS WATCH
JASON
It's getting late hope it won't be an issue
MIMIE
Hello....I live with my friends not my parents okay
JASON
I know I was just. ....but it's fine let's drink.
They kept going and by the time l he realises, Mimie was so wasted and in no condition to go home so he brought her into his room and tugged her in. He was about leaving when she grabbed and kissed him. Taking by suprise he didn't move and kissed back. They both fought for dominance as their tongue invaded each other's mouth exploring every corner of it. She let out a soft moan as he deepen the kiss taking over and her surrendering to him completely but he suddenly pulls away from the kiss with a conflicting mind and an aching heart.
MIMIE
Why? She asked feeling disappointed
JASON
Mimie I'm sorry i wasn't suppose to kiss back because I know you are doing this under the influence of alcohol. Sleep we will have a talk in the morning.
He left without giving her a chance to say anything. She tossed and tossed until she finally fell asleep. Jason goes to the living room and cleaned up everything after which he picked up his phone to call Nathan when he saw numerous missed calls from Jane and a message from Nathan telling him he will crash at Collin's place. He went into Nathan's room for a sleep.
JASON
What's wrong with me? I wasn't supposed to kiss back and worst of all I enjoyed every moment of it God what have I done? what if she accuses me of taking advantage of her or something else Ahhhhhh Jason Jason you've f****d up real bad
After a lot of thinking and tossing, he finally falls asleep
