Phone conversation of Hans and Azure

Scene 4-Lies and Luck

 

Characters: Azure (18), Hans (21)

Setting: Montessa's residence and Benjamin's residence, the present.

 

Fifteen minutes after Azure's parents have gone away, she remembers to call Hans.

 

Azure: Hello?

 

Hans: Good morning! Did you just wake up, darling?

 

Azure: Uhm, yes.

 

Hans: How are you feeling?

 

Azure: Bit dizzy and confused.

 

Hans: Hang-over.

 

Azure: Must be.

 

Hans: Sorry, darling.

 

Azure: No worries. Hey! What happened last night?

 

Hans: You don't remember?

 

Azure (sarcastic): Would I ask if I do?

 

Hans: Nothing at all?

 

Azure: Only blurs of events...

 

Hans: Like?

 

Azure: Like party lights. People dancing. Us talking--

 

Hans: Us arguing.

 

Azure: Oh, yeah. Arguing. And... Kissing? Did we really kiss?

 

Hans: Yep. What else?

 

Azure:  Stars above. Numbers... Why are there numbers?

 

Hans: Because you were talking about algebraic expressions.

 

Azure: Oh, did I?

 

Hans: Yep. What else?

 

Azure:Uhm... Wait... I got this feeling something weird happened...

 

Hans: (laughs) Try to remember.

 

Azure: I'm trying, you know.

 

Hans: I called you beautiful.

 

Azure: Eh? (pause) Oh...

 

Hans: Then right after that, you practiced on me what you have learned in Flirting 101.

 

Azure: Come on. I don't know how to flirt.

 

Hans: Beer does wonders.

 

Azure: Okay, done with jokes. Be serious now.

 

Hans: Hey, it's true!

 

Azure: What is?

 

Hans: You sexually harassed me. (chuckles)

 

Azure: What?!

 

Hans: (whispers) Well, you actually went on top of me and started kissing me.

 

Azure: Hans, really! You are being so full of yourself now, aren't you? And--and... Oh my goodness... Oh, my...

 

Hans: You remember now.

 

Azure: That was embarrassing!

 

Hans: No, darling. That was hot. (smirks)

 

Azure: What happened next?

 

Hans: Well, I told you to stop but you didn't. So, yeah.

 

Azure: And... And... We had s-sex?!

 

Hans: Don't worry. I was gentle with you.

 

Azure: Arghh!!!

 

Hans (laughing): Hey, chill!

 

Azure: Oh, my. Oh, my.

 

Hans: What's wrong?

 

Azure: My, my. I just lost my virginity and I don't know it!

 

Hans: It's okay. You'll move on. (grins)

 

Azure: Hans! Hans! Oh no...

 

Hans: You. Are. So. Funny. (laughs boisterously)

 

Azure (shakes head in disbelief): No, no, no, no, no...

 

Hans (amused): Silly. Before you do anything crazy over there, listen to me first, okay?

 

Azure: No, no, no...

 

Hans (trying to be serious): You are still a virgin.

 

Azure: No, no, no...

 

Hans: Hey, it's true. Nothing happened between us.

 

Azure (has somewhat recovered): You expect me to believe you simply because you said so?

 

Hans: I expect you to believe me because I happen to remember everything last night and you don't.

 

Azure: So, was it just a joke?

 

Hans: Yes.

 

Azure: We didn't go to the meadow? I didn't seduce you?

 

Hans: We went to the meadow and you seduced me. But no sex.

 

Azure: How is that possible?

 

Hans (beaming): Beer does wonders.

 

Azure: I don't understand...

 

Hans: Just trust me.

 

Azure: You promise you're telling the truth?

 

Hans: I promise.

 

Azure: Thank heavens.

 

Hans: You amuse me, darling.

 

Azure: Oh, Hans. (sighs)

 

Hans: Have you eaten your breakfast?

 

Azure: Not yet. Oops. That reminds me. I have to cook now.

 

Hans (suspicious): You don't cook, darling.

 

Azure: Well, yeah, but I have to. Today.

 

Hans: Is that your punishment for being drunk?

 

Azure: No. My mom and dad went out.

 

Hans (impressed): Sweet.

 

Azure: Went to Antique to visit a sick friend.

 

Hans: Oh. How about your brother?

 

Azure: Here with me but he's still asleep. I have to cook for both of us.

 

Hans: Must be the greatest test of your life.

 

Azure: (laughs) Yeah, yeah.

 

Hans: Glad to hear your laugh. I miss that.

 

Azure: I miss yours more. How are you?

 

Hans: I'm good, darling.

 

Azure: Will you be working today?

 

Hans (cheerful): Nope. Day-off.

 

Azure: That's great! By the way, I'd better start cooking now. Wish me luck.

 

Hans: Sure. You need tons of it. (chuckles)

 

Azure: Bye, bye, darling! Enjoy your day!

 

Hans: Wish you're here though. Bye.

Thank you for reading! :)

A great conversation ... but for me ... a little irritation ... at the thought of being with someone ... the cell rings ... and then they go on forever. The medium in story telling ... I guess ... may be important.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Dayran, I haven't considered that. Thank you for pointing it out. :)

[icelandicblue]

Sounds like Azure needs to go back to bed. I like their relationship and the way they communicate with each other.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thank you so much, Ice! :)

[Angel]

She loves him. This is such a sweet story!

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thanks, Angel. I just hope I am not being too mushy. I hate love stories which seem "forced".

[Angel]

As a general rule, I don't read love stories. Those "Harlequin Romance" things...I had a friend many years ago who devoured them like candy...but then, she wasn't terribly bright. She was also addicted to daytime soaps...
But this is different. It isn't all about sex, for one thing...it raises love to a higher level, and I really like that.
Plus, I really like your heroine...and your hero really is a hero.
It's a good story, Hun!

[MandaBear]

So cool! I cant wait until you write more =)

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thanks, Manda. :)

[Silent Wolf]

I like this scene, it's really cute. I love how she's freaking out, while hanz is just laughing. :3

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Haha, thanks a lot! :)

[Silent Wolf]

Of course!

[Eddie Davis]

I loved their very fast paced conversation. 'Beer does wonders' is almost a proverb of redneck Americans. Again, your dialogue flows very smoothly and having read many authors who struggle to achieve this, I commend you on it. These scenes are well done. I can see a multitude of possibilities here: Perhaps Azure's attempt at cooking sets the house on fire, for example. The light-heartedness of this series is very endearing and charming. Keep it coming, Blue, before you know it, you'll have a novel -- or a screenplay novel (if that is what they call it).

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I would have wanted this to be a novel but I am not so good when it comes to narration and descriptions. Maybe in a few years or so, I'll check on this series and morph it into a novel, if I have gained enough insights and have improved on my craft by then. I didn't send RRs for this so I'm honored and grateful that you have read all scenes and left behind wonderful reviews, Eddie. :)

[Eddie Davis]

Some of the greatest works of English literature is in play format. Shakespeare, for example. It is much more difficult to master dialogue, and as you have done that, I suspect you could easily do narration and description. I'd recommend trying it sometime just to see if you can do it, perhaps just write a scene or do a version of one of your scenes from this series, but with narration. I suspect you'll be surprised how naturally it comes to you.

[Dhaye]

Ah, this one. I forgot that I have read this also. I said scenes 1-3 only. I chuckled in this one. A short scene but there's a lesson imparted in it. Hans is a good boyfriend.

I love this part. Keep it up!

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Ate, there's a lesson in this chapter? Oh, my. What is that? How come I don't know? Hahaha.
Thank you for reading all the scenes, Ate. :)

P.S. Yep, Hans is a very good boyfriend. LOL.

[Dhaye]

Lesson 1. Don't drink if you can't manage yourself (under the influence of alcohol.)
Lesson 2. Hang out only with a good boyfriend like Hans (to make sure you're safe). LOL

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Hahahaha. I absolutely love lesson number two. Too bad few people like Hans are good boyfriends. :)
