That isn't fair Ashley. You don't even know my schedule. And I'm not about to give you the paper with his number on it.
What would I be able to say to him about why I always wear my gloves? About my friends? He works with the CIA sometimes Ashley. I could be putting everyone I love in danger, just by... I don't know!
I did just do that, didn't I? I should know better. *slight flail* I, I have Girl Scouts tonight, and a trip tomorrow then a conference call on... next week. I'll get back to him next week.
I told him I would. He's, he's very charming. And intelligent.
Isn't it rather desperate to call the very next day? Shouldn't I wait at least the weekend before giving him a call Ashley? [Yes, she's being serious when she asks this, she's not that great at male/female dating habits as he well knows]
You're right. I am asking the wrong guy. [she sighs].
But what do I tell him about my gloves Ashley? About why I can't-shouldn't touch him? [Now, finally she's at the heart of the matter, the real reason for her hesitation]
[She walks over to her jacket, pulls a slip of paper out of the inside pocket. A coffee-shop receipt gets pulled out as well, set aside on the table.]
[Anika reads the phone number to herself, her mind taking the individual numbers and turning them into a mathematical equation, easy for her to remember.]
I'll call him. I'm calling him ok? Just don't listen. Or pretend not to listen or something. Just.. [she turns her back to Ashley, begins to press the numbers]
[she shrugs]
It says his answering machine is full. I can't leave a message now. I'll try again some other time.
