But one comment in particular stood out, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance because of who made it - Julie. Her comment read: 'Just date already.'
Just then, Derick messaged me again:
DERICK: 'By the way, you're a great dancer. Are you taking practice?'
SILVIA: 'No, I'm just my own teacher, and you're also a good dancer.'
DERICK: 'Thanks! I love the way you move your legs. I thought you didn't know how to tango, but I wish to dance with you again.'
SILVIA: 'Thanks a lot.'
DERICK: 'But Jenny is a bad dancer; don't tell her, or she'll kill me!'
SILVIA: 'Derick, stop it! She's your sister!'
DERICK: 'Yes, she is, but her bloodline...'
DERICK: "Yes, she is, but her bloodline of dancing has faded; she's a terrible dancer."
SILVIA: "Derick, stop it!"
DERICK: "Can I ask you for a favor?"
SILVIA: "Why not? Go on."
DERICK: "Can I have Anissa's number?"
SILVIA: "No, I don't have her number." (thinking) "Idiot."
Then, I gave him a terrible stare before sending him Anissa's number and dropping my phone. Messages kept coming in; I was angry and jealous. Eventually, I decided to check the messages, and they were all from Derick:
DERICK: "Thanks."
DERICK: "Why aren't you replying to me?"
DERICK: "Why are you angry? Tell me."
DERICK: "Please just reply to me."
SILVIA: "What! I've given you her number, so what more do you want from me?"
DERICK: "Wait, are you jealous?"
