Chapter 5
Lea sat down at the kitchen table researching on her computer. She then heard a knock on the door. She got up and opened the door to see Clark standing there.
"Hello, Lea," Clark said. "I'm here to have dinner with Shaun."
"Hi, Max," Lea said. "I'm so sorry, but Shaun just called. He's has to stay late at work."
"Okay," Clark said.
"So where's Shayna?" Lea asked.
"She's having dinner with her sister," Clark replied. "We're leaving in the morning. We have an 8:00 flight back to Long Beach."
"You fly to Long Beach?" Lea asked.
"It's quicker than driving," Clark replied. "An hour flying vs. five hours driving."
"I ordered some pizza," Lea said. "Would you like to stay and eat? You can wait for Shaun."
"Okay," Clark said.
Clark and Lea sat down on the couch and ate pizza on paper plates.
"This is good pizza," Clark said.
"It sure is," Lea said.
"Stop taking advantage of Shaun," Clark said.
"Excuse me?" Lea asked.
"Shaun really likes you," Clark said. "He got this apartment because he thinks there's a chance you will be together."
"Shaun knows we're not going to be a couple," Lea said.
"I know Shaun," Clark said. "He really loves you and you're taking advantage of that!"
"Don't shout at me!" Lea shouted.
"Shaun is my best friend!" Clark shouted. "You're only using him for this apartment!"
"I am not!" Lea shouted.
"Yes you are!" Clark shouted. "So stop being a stupid bitch!"
"What did you just call me?" Lea asked.
"I called you a bitch!" Clark shouted. "You are an entitled little bitch!"
"Okay!" Lea shouted. "Screw you! Get out of my apartment!"
"Gladly!" Clark shouted. "You disgust me! If I were Shaun, I'd kick your sorry ass out on the street!"
Clark stormed out and Lea screamed into a pillow.
