Page 41 of Crazy for this Girl

I just put myself in a really weird and awkward situation because now I sound jealous. That I’m about to flip a lid that he’s been with other girls, doing God knows what in a bedroom alone.

LAYNEE: I know you had an adding problem, but I figured you’d put two and two together with that being a code red for your parents.

CAL: If they were ever home, then, yeah.

LAYNEE: Well, whatever, now Mom is going to be up my butt about boys again.

CAL: Have you ever had a dude over before in your room?

LAYNEE: Are you crazy?

CAL: I would be if I found out you did.

LAYNEE: So? You just admitted to having chicks over at your house all the time.

CAL: Chicks?

CAL: I never admitted to anything.

LAYNEE: Did you ever find that song and band yet?

CAL: No.

CAL: But I’m sensing that you’re getting upset with me.

LAYNEE: I’m not.

CAL: Then call me so I can hear your voice.

LAYNEE: It’s not after nine and Mom checks the detailed phone bill to make sure I’m not on it after then.

CAL: Then why don’t you call me on the weekends ever?

LAYNEE: Do you want my mother asking me why I’m on the phone with you all the time? At least with texting, I can make it look like it’s Hannah.

CAL: So…with that detailed bill your mom looks at, you don’t think she’s ever noticed that you’re non-stop texting a number from out of state and that’s not even in the same area code?

Shit. Shit. Shit.

CAL: I bet I just blew your mind.

LAYNEE: I think you just made me more anxious.

CAL: Tone Deaf, you’re getting crazy. Don’t let your mom rub off on you.

LAYNEE: I think it’s too late for that.

CAL: Woman, if you think I’m gonna let you go that easily in my life, you got another thing coming.

LAYNEE: A one-way ticket out of here?

CAL: I got something better.

CAL: I have a surprise for you.

LAYNEE: What is it?

CAL: Look up what a surprise is.
