Home not too alone II

"step by step... ohh baby...."

Faith's cell phone rang.

"WHat a weird phone tune, Faith."

Faith turned around and left the table.
She looked at the number, ahh, it was Jackie.

"Hi Faith, what's up."
"How are you Jackie?"
" Well, nothing special, quite alone these days, broke up with my girl."
"With Cookie?"
"No, Stephanie."
"Not Cookie anymore?? She was your favorite!!"
"WHat!!"
"Why?"
Jackie coughed.
" Feel like going to Egypt this month, got the tickets. Do you feel like meeting when I get back?
"Ok. We'll see."
" Don't know if can get the retirement paid, hahaha."
" There is a vacancy in my department."
"Really?" Faith grasped.
" What are you wearing today?"
" What???"
" Ahem... I mean, in this hot wheather, with your pretty... , how much does the bra........celet you wear cost?"
" Not much."
"Exactly?"
" Don't ask me that, it's professional secret."
" Why are you calling?"
" Want to hear your voice and..."
" Jackie, you know what, I'm busy now. "
" May be we'll talk again."
" Bye."
" Bye"

Joey looked at Faith smiling.
"How busy are you, Faith?"
"What are you laughing at?"
" YOu are not talking to Andy, right?"
" What could I say, may be someone... worst?"
" O... my teacher is teaching me that, bad, good, better, worse..."
" I don't know when we should go into adjectives, really."
" For your age, it's good enough."
" What about for you, Faith?"

Faith looked at Joey, couldn't say a word in a moment.

"Do you want to play Monopoly?"
"Should I call Sandra?"
"Who is Sandra?"
