Chapter 5
Kendrick sat on the couch crying while Clark sat beside him.
"I didn't mean that," Kendrick sobbed. "Why did I say that?"
"Because you're an idiot," Clark replied.
Kendrick looked at Clark.
"You asked me," Clark said.
"Do people with Asperger's always say what's on their mind?" Kendrick asked.
"I can't speak for everyone with Asperger's but I tend to," Clark replied. "Your boyfriend has Asperger's too, remember? He doesn't always say what's on his mind, but he does lack people skills sometimes."
"Please shut up," Kendrick said.
"Okay," Clark said.
"She's my little sister," Kendrick cried. "Why did I say that?"
"You are very repetitive," Clark said.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Two young women stood in a bathroom is a home getting applying their makeup.
"Thank you for agreeing to go on a double date with me, Amber," one of the women said.
"You're welcome, Carol," Amber said.
"You know," Carol said. "I think tonight is going to be the night Michael's going to pop the question!"
"What makes you think that?" Amber asked.
"I found an engagement ring on his dresser," Carol replied.
"You're totally getting engaged tonight!" Amber cheered.
Carol and Amber excitedly squealed.
"So who is this guy you set me up with?" Amber asked.
"Just some guy I found on a dating website," Carol replied. "His name is Frederick and his profile says he's a successful corporate lawyer."
"So he must be rich," Amber said. "Imagine me being married to a rich man. We could go on holidays in the Maldives or whatever."
"And take your private jet to Paris!" Carol cheered.
The doorbell rang.
"That must be your date," Carol said.
"You gave him my address?" Amber asked.
"How else is he supposed to pick you up in his limo?" Carol asked.
Amber laughed and walked out of the bathroom the front door. She opened the door to see Conner Freeman in a blonde wig and a tux.
"You must be Frederick," Amber said.
"Amber?" Conner asked.
"Yes," Amber replied. "My friend and I are still getting ready. Come on in and make yourself at home."
"Oh, I will," Conner said smiling. "I most definitely will!"
Conner walked into the house, put his hand over Amber's mouth, and held her against the wall, muffling her screams. He then kicked the door shut.
