"Did I tell you about how I got my fingers fixed?"

"Your fingers?"

"Yes, after styling my hair at Japan they did not find the paint I want to I had to travel to......"

On and on she went on talking and talking without stopping.

He checked his phone again to see if Astoria texted him, but she did not, he is really getting disappointed in her but he doesn't know why, he shouldn't be thinking about that now what he should be thinking about is how to leave the mess that he out himself to.

Astoria sat on her bed and bit her lips, she looked round the house and sighted, she has to park out but she has no where to stay.

"Dave? Where is he there at this hour?"

"Oh we live together, he is preparing for law exam so I told him to live with me and besides am lonely. But then why are you calling at this hour?"

"Nothing, just nothing"

"Really, good night then I need to cook for him"

"Oh good night" Astoria said and cut the call off.
