At Chelsea's shop, she is with Lucy arranging her shop, for the night ; in preparation for the next day.
" Hello" Chelsea says as she picks up her phone, since it has been ringing for a while now. She didn't answer before, because she doesn't know the identity of the caller and refuses to pick a call from an unknown number.
But since the person persisted in calling, she decided to answer the call . She was tired of the constant ringing.
"Finally" The voice at the other end of the call said.
" Sorry, who I'm speaking with?" She asked.
" So you don't recognise my voice?" The masculine voice asked.
" Why should I ?" She asked, " And would I be asking if I knew that?" She added rudely, a little bit annoyed at his questions. Already tired of the JAMB questions, he was asking her( Thank God she would never write JAMB exam again).
The voice at the other end of the call became mute.
" Who is this?. Speak up, You are wasting my time." Chelsea said angrily.
" So you are normally rude to everyone. It's not just to me" The caller stated.
" DENNIS !" She shouted, recognising his voice.
" Finally you recognize my voice, was it that hard?" Denise asked.
" Who gave you my number?" She asked him.
"No one, I copied it from my sisters phone, when they were not looking." He informed her.
" That's so vile of you!" She exclaimed.
" Thank you. Such a great compliment" He replied, sounding so please with himself.
" That's not a compliment" Chelsea told him.
" Well it is, because I have decided, by myself; That it is a compliment." He stated.
" So, what do you want?" She asked him.
" Well, can't someone call you to say Hi?" Dennis asked her.
" Not really , if it was someone else, I might have agree, but not you ." She stated.
" So, just one day, you think you know me already?" He asked, offended by her statement.
" Yeah" She says, " I think it is enough time, for me to know someone like you" She told him rudely.
" Someone like me" He said, " What do you mean like someone like me?" He asked her.
" Nothing" She replied.
" No, I need to know" He told her, " Meaning, I want to know; the kind of person you have assumed me, to be" He added.
" Just forget it" She told him.
" No, I can't and I wouldn't" He told adamantly.
"You see, exactly what I thought, you are someone that never give up, till you get what you want, whatever way possible, even by hook or by crook"Â She told him.
" I'm not" He said to her.
" Well, that's not who I am" He told her calming down.
" Okay, sorry" She apologized, in defeat and tired of their argument.
" Apology not accepted" He informed her.
" Not my business" Chelsea said angrily," Can't we just have a polite conversation" He asked her.
" I guess we can" She said, " I bet your recharge card is running out" She asked him playfully, trying to lighten up the moment and also apologize indirectly.
" Well , for your information, I got enough" He told her proudly.
" Well, I guess you do" She replied, " You big rich boy. Here you go again flaunting your wealth"Â She added.
" Well, I don't do that. I'm just telling you, so that you wouldn't be bothered about it, but if you felt insulted sorry" He apologized.
" Apology accepted" She said, " So, what can I do for you?" She asked.
" Well, I was wondering when you would be through with work" He told her.
" Why?" She asked him.
" I was hoping to come and pick you up. Drop you home and on the way, we can get to know each other" He replied.
" Why would I want to do that?" She added.
" Well, because I love your company and you love mine" He said pompously.
" I don't !" She exclaimed, " You know I don't, right?" She asked him.
" But we do, if not we wouldn't be talking for hours" He told her.
" Well, for your information; I don't enter strangers car , talk less of showing them where I live" She informed him.
" Well I am not a stranger, for goodness sake. You know my sisters, don't you?" He asked.
" That's true. But I'm not comfortable with you" Chelsea told him.
" What does that mean?. You are not comfortable with me?" He asked.
" Bet you are looking over yourself right now, from your Head to toe" Chelsea said to him.
"Â No I'm not" He said.
" I don't believe you" She told him.
" Okay, it is true. What's not to be comfortable with?. I'm tall,nice, handsome and should I add awesome" He told her proudly.
" Madam" Lucy called her, " I'm through with cleaning up, can go now?" She asked Chelsea.
" Okay, you can go now" She told Lucy, as she brought down the phone from her ear, and putting the call in hold . And the young girl, picked up her bag and left. Chelsea place the phone, back on her ear.
" Okay thanks for calling. I have to go now, It's getting late" Chelsea told Denise.
" But we are not through with our conversation" He said.
" Well, I'm through, Bye" She said and cut the call. and checked if all the windows in shop, were locked and took her bag and went home.
" So rude, I'm never calling her again" Denise said to himself from where he was.
" You would" Said Lucas, coming out from his room, after hearing the whole conversation.
" I wouldn't" He stated firmly.
" You would too" His friend told him.
" I would not. I promise" Dennis told Lucas.
" Well, if you say so" Lucas said in disbelieve.
