Well…

“Answer it!” Liz demanded.

“What will I say?” I asked.

“Doesn’t matter!” She grabbed the phone, swiped it to answer and threw it at me.

“Eep!” I cried, almost into the phone and heard the muffled..

“Hello?” Asked Jane.

“Um, Hi?” I answered, cringing inside at my cleverness.

“Who is this? Where is Chantal? Jane demanded, voice taking an edge.

“It’s actually that guy you met at the bookstore.” Liz was giving me a thumbs up when all I wanted to do was end the call.

“… Why do you have my sister’s phone?” Jane was more than a little suspicious.

“I picked it up in the mall, but nobody has called yet.” I panicked and lied. Then added. “I didn’t know it was your sister’s. Do you know where she is? Can I drop it off with you?”

After a few seconds I heard a sigh of relief “it’s not a shock, she goes through phones like she goes through makeup. Yeah, I can pick it up. But let her suffer first. Maybe tomorrow if you’re free? We can grab dinner” Jane continued.

I couldn’t believe it. Liz was near me listening in and grinning at every syllable.

“Yeah sure.. Where do you want to go?” I asked

“How about that Sushi restaurant across from the mall? The silent samurai?” She asked.

“Sounds great” I said. Thinking to myself how the hell did my life get this way?

“5 o clock. See you there.” She hung up.

Liz cackled “Awesome! You used her sister’s mouth as a fleshlight Aaand you get to go on a date with her!” She paused, then added.

“WE used her mouth like a fleshlight! Oh hey! Her phone is open.”

I blinked and discovered Liz was right. When we answered the call the phone stayed unlocked.

Liz snatched it up.

“I gotta do a few things” and with that she stepped off into the living room.
