Andres and Peter were high school
classmates, but now they are still housemates and working
in the same company. Someday, Andres got home and excitedly
told Peter about a person whom he met in the afternoon.
Andres: Guess
whom I met this afternoon.
Peter: Lindsay
Lohan?
Andres:
No, not her. I know you have been eager to meet your queen
someday.
Peter: Alright.
So it must be your queen, Paris Hilton.
Andres: No,
it's Penelope Diaz. Remember her? She was in our high school.
Peter: It's
no wonder that you are making a
sound and dance about that. Of
course I remember her; your secret young love, though you
are not young anymore.
Andres: The
way she talked, the way she moved; she was just so astonishing,
you know. I was so astounded to see her again after all
the years. She was still so breathtaking.
I didn't know how to behave in her presence, I mean yesterday.
Andres is talking to himself with a daydream
expression.
Peter: Are
you alright, mate?
Andres: Anyway,
that's past tense.
Peter: Well,
it's present tense. It's obviously that she's
still got
to you. Look at you, you're carrying
on like a pork chop.
Be cool, mate! Did you have a chat? Did
you try to ask her out sometime for a coffee, as the pretext for
a tryst? Did you ask her
for the
digits?
Andres: Yeah,
We did have a short conversation, and I've got her digits.
But I don't know if I should ask her out.
Peter: You
must have got kangaroos loose in
the top paddock if you
don't ask her out.
Andres: But
I don't know where to go and what to do. And besides, in
high school time, she always looked so serene,
as if pondering something, and she always spoke in a
calm voice, occasionally with a faint smile
on her face. I just couldn't find a topic to trigger her
interest.
Peter: You
sound like she was untouchable. Come on, probably that's
just because you were strapped for a
fair go to bring on a good conversation. But now, the
window of opportunity is open, but
it's gonna be closing soon again. So, you'd better take
a chance.
Just ask her to go out with you. That's not a big deal.
Andres: Alright.
To a dinner?
Peter:
Ask her to have an afternoon tea or coffee would be better,
I reckon; especially when the climate is getting cold these
days. You yourself can make the coffee if you want to.
That's gonna be a special treat for her. Then find a place
where is not too crowdy and too cozy;
a bit chilly would be even
better. You can serve youselves two mugs of
hot coffee and some biscuits. In this cold weather, clutching and
drinking a mug of hot coffee can surely bring on the
sensation of warmth and melt
her icy defence, and then it's gonna be easier to begin
the talk, and she'll find that you're not really
that boring, but a caring gentleman.
Andres: That's
so fictional. Are you serious?
Peter: I
swear by it. That definitely
works.
Andres: What
if it doesn't work?
Peter: I'll
buy you a cup of iced coffee to cool you down, alright?
Just ring her, don't be such a coward.
Andres then is searching for Penelope's
number in the cellular phone...
Andres: I
can't find it! Oh no.............
I think I forgot to save it. I was too nervous. Oh no.............
How am I going to find her again?
Peter: The
window of opportunity is now officially closing. You, Andres
Bachelor, are doomed to
be alone for your whole life.
