Sick Appointment

The moment Candace walked into her bedroom and shut the door behind her she dialed Matt's line.

"Hey! Are you on your way now?" Matt asked the moment he received the call.

"How am I supposed to come over when you're with Bryan? How did you plan to explain my presence at your house to him?" Candace snapped at him as she threw down her bag on the bed.

"I'm with Bryan? How come I didn't know that?" Matt asked dryly.

"What do you mean by that? Do you realize I just made a fool of myself out there because of you?" Candace asked in annoyance.

"If I were with Bryan I would have told you so. I'm not with Bryan. I told him I can't meet with him," Matt said simply.

"But Jade said…" the rest of her words trailed off when Jade opened the door and walked into the room.

"I lied. Sorry," Jade offered with an apologetic smile.

"I will call you back," Candace told Matt before hanging up abruptly.
