A Fake Girlfriend.

A Fake Girlfriend. By Tony. Class 106
Tom: Hi Sue! I’d like to talk with you!
Sue: Hi, Tom. Well go ahead then, I’m listening.
Tom: Here is the thing. You know that we live together of course, we rent the same apartment etc, so could you um…?
Sue: I’m sorry? I don’t get your point. Could you be more direct? I mean clear on what you are on about!
Tom: Okay. It’s really hard for me to say this. I mean I’m very embarrassed to have to ask you for help.
Sue: Tom, once more what is your point?
Tom: Could you pretend to be my girlfriend for a day? I mean just one
day! Just, just this one time please…….
Sue: What? Why? What have you got yourself into now?
Tom: Um, well you see, all my colleagues from college have now got girlfriends except me. Three days ago, I was drunk and I felt ashamed about not having a girlfriend. So I told them I had already had a girlfriend and that we had been living together for a long time. Yes, it’s you, but you are just my roommate I realize that of course. So…um…..I made up a story. I knew I should’ve but I was half drunk and all.
Sue: So you lied to them?
Tom: Yes, and now they are going to visit me tomorrow to meet my girlfriend. You are my roommate actually as you know. Could you just do me this one big favor just this once?
Sue: Sure but this will be the last time. Just to clarify: it’s just a one-day job so you’d better find a real girlfriend as soon as possible.
Tom: Right but just for this one day can you fake being my girlfriend?
Sue: Ok then but what should I do? I mean what do I have to say? Like am I
supposed to say that you are the best lover in China or something like
that?
Tom: Oh no, you needn’t exaggerate or anything like that. It’s not that difficult. You only need to stay close to me and smile at me and tell them how we got to meet each other. If they ask for more, just tell them that such things are private.
Sue: No problem. When will they arrive?
Tom: Tomorrow at 9 a.m. We can prepare the lunch in the kitchen together and then I’ll fill you in on some more details.
Sue: More details? Oh my god!
Tom: Sorry. I know it’s a little troublesome. Please help me!
Sue: All right. Would you mind but if I give you some advice?
Tom: Of course not! Go ahead!
Sue: I’m a single woman. You are a single man. There is not going to be any pretence if you and I are in a real friendship.
Tom: What? What do you mean when you say in a real friendship?
Sue: I think I’ve made my point clear.
Tom: Oh. That’s awesome. I have a real girlfriend wow.
