Me: And so am I. It's been too long eh.

Brice: Of course. When did you come home?

Me: Two weeks ago.

Brice: Two weeks ago and you haven't tried to see me? No but what kind of friend are you Ryan?

Me (laughing): I'm sorry buddy, first I wanted to settle down better so I had time to look for you. But now things happened on their own.

Brice: Yeah. So do you know what we're gonna do now? We're going to swap numbers and tomorrow I'll call you over for lunch. I had something to deal with when I saw you pass by.

Me: There is no problem. Tomorrow without fail we catch each other.

We exchange the numbers and he leaves. I am really happy to see him again. At least I won't be alone in the city anymore.

The watch on my arm tells me it's noon and it hits the nail on the head when I close the file I was working on my cell phone starts ringing. I smile with all my teeth when I see Brice's name. I answer and he tells me he's right down there. I quickly retrieve my keys and leave my office. As I walk towards the elevator I see Maya heading there too. She hasn't seen me.

Me: You must be pretty damn hungry to see the way you are walking fast there.

Maya (turning around): Oh Ryan you're here. By the way I have a file to complete so I will quickly get myself a takeout and come back to work and eat otherwise I will suffer the wrath of M YOUL.

Me (entering the elevator) But why didn't you call to be delivered?

Maya: Let's say I wanted to stretch my legs a bit.

She presses the button and the elevator begins to descend.

Maya: Oh by the way, I would like to invite you to dinner tomorrow night in my apartment with my girlfriends.

Me: Let me guess, that's Cynthia's idea, isn't it?

Maya: How did you know that?

The elevator opens and we descend to go outside the building.

Me: Let's say I know you well enough to know that you are too reserved to invite a man over to you.

Maya (smiling): Is that supposed to be a compliment or is this a way of telling me I'm stuck?

Me: A bit of both.

She hits me and I burst out laughing. We stop at my car and face each other.

Maya: So?

Me: Yes I will be there but you don't mind me coming with Brice?

Maya: Brice? The same Brice?

I do. We met yesterday by pure chance and I have to have lunch like that with him. Besides, here he comes.

Maya: Okay that's working. But tell her not to try to pick up any of my girlfriends.

Me: Tell me and your other girlfriend instead because apparently Cynthia fell in love with me.

Maya: And you on her from what I see.

Me: It's not wrong. Assure me she doesn't have a boyfriend.

Maya: She doesn't. At least not for real.

Me: That's cool.

When Brice walks up to us he ticks when he sees Maya and the way he looks at her makes me think she just had an effect on him.

Brice: Hello beautiful young lady. How are you doing ?

Me: Stop it, it's Maya.

Brice: My what? Maya? Maya Maya Maya is it really you?

Maya (laughing): Yes it's me Brice.

Brice: God damn it, you've become jo… woah but I'm dreaming or what. I think I just fell in love with it.

Maya: I see you haven't changed either.

Brice: No and prepare to have me in your hands because I intend to conquer you.

Me: That's good, we are invited tomorrow night to her and her roommates.

Brice: I will be there with a lot of pleasure.

Maya: It works then. Well I'm leaving. Bon appétit to you.

Me: To you too.

She leaves and Brice follows her with his gaze.

Brice: Dude I think I just fell in love.

Me: Stop it, it's Maya. It's not the first time you've seen her though.

Brice: Yes, but it has changed a lot. What a beautiful woman she has become.

Me: Yeah and you should see what kind of girl she's messing around with. His girlfriend is a real bomb.

Brice: What are you in love already, man?

Me: Stop being stupid. I told you I'm too young for this nonsense. Until I'm 40, I refuse to fall in love and as I am now 27 I make the most of it and his girlfriend, uh, I'm going to do well.

Brice: What if you end up falling in love with her afterwards?

Me: There's no way my boy. I'm immune to it. All right, let's finish our speech at the restaurant. I have the slab me.

As agreed we go to dinner with these single girls. Maya showed me around her house so well that I had no trouble finding the house. She told me there were three so I bought three roses. The door opens to a really hot young girl. No, but where did Maya find her friends. Too bad I only sleep with one girl at a time or else I would have tried it with her too.

Me: Uh good evening miss. Am I at Maya's?

She: Yes. Surely you must be Ryan and you Brice?

Me: That's right.

Her: OK come on. They are getting dressed.

We enter this apartment which is beautifully decorated and very clean. We feel that it is women who live there. She installs us in the living room and I give you a rose.

Her: Oh thank you very much that's nice. I'm Olivia. Can I get you something to drink?

That's when Brice gets up to hand him the bottle of wine he brought.

Brice : We will wait during dinner. We
