Valentine Blues - Season 1 - Episode 18

Now they all file back into the house to continue the party.

Annalisa doesn’t go back out, she stands watching as he wipes his body, draping the large towel around him. He walks to her smiling but still shivering.
”It feels like I am caught back in time and ended up in a fraternity college party” She hands him his cloths, Tom had stylishly dropped it over her shoulders before he gave Darren the towel. He nods…
”Those two never did grow up” he notes.
They smile.

Two hours later …
”Bye, thank you all for coming!!!” Tonia hugs her friends at the door as the last person leaves. She turns to the four people behind her ”Thank you Lucy, you had fun?” she goes to hug her.

”Mad fun, you should celebrate every month” They hug
”Hell no!” Tom states pulling his wife ”This crazy is enough to last for months, thank you”

”Oh poor husband. Too bad you are stuck with me” she squashes him in a hug ”And Annalisa, thank you for… making my dear old friend want to come back to the life of the chase” she winks at her.
Annalisa smiles picking her bag, ”Er… well, thanks I guess. And it was a great party, thank you for having me”

”You are welcome ”
”So, we gatto go, Tonia, see you next week. Tom, great to see the husband and Darren my mannnnnnn!” she hails him, Annalisa face-palms again. ”Guess I would be seeing you around.”

”I guess so. Bye Luce” he waves , ”Bye Anna” he smiles.
”Bye!” she smiles back.
Silence as everyone watches them.
”No hugs, no goodnight kiss? I have a spare bedroom just incase you both wanna…you know?” Tonia trails off winking. Annalisa and Darren shake their head saying ”No!” together, Lucy chuckles loudly.
”Father… forgive my wife. Amen!” Tom prays to the heavens.

Tonia chuckles ”Hehehehehe!” Don’t mind me, I forgot to take my drugs, my craziness starts randomly. You both are ” good peoples, good peoples !!” She gives them a thumbs up.

”Yes they are. Okay, bye!” Lucy is out the door and so is Annalisa as they wave. The door closes .

They both turn to him ”Soooo Annalisa, I like her” Tonia says.

”Of course you do. You just want me back to dating and… oh s--t!!!” he runs to the door, dashes out as soon as he opens it and runs outside.

”What happened? Darren?” Tom and Tonia rushes after him. They catch up with him as he stands watching their car fade away.
”What Darren?”


”I forgot to take her number!!!” He exclaims breathing hard as he tries to catch his breath.

Tonia is shaking her head, so is Tom.
”Dude, you embarrass all men. How can you tell a girl you want to take her for a date and you don’t take her number. How many times now bruh?”
”Three!!” Darren bites his lips.
”Tsk Tsk Tsk! ”


Darren blows out hot air.

”So when are we going on our date?” Lucy pulls to a stop in front of Annalisa’s house.
”Me, not we and-” she frowns ”We haven’t quite decided on that yet.”
”Oh? Call and ask him then” Lucy hands her her bag as she shuts the car door.
”Well… I don’t have his number”
”Okay, since you gave him yours he might just call and-”

”I didn’t give him either”
”Wait, within the whole hi and hello and you look good and those smiling and blushing and wanna go out on a date, you fools didn’t take you both’s numbers?”

Annalisa shakes her head slowly..
”Oh, I am ashamed of you Anna!” She shakes her head ”He fine, too fine to pass up like that. Other girls be eyeing him in that party and you went and forgot to give him your number. oh..sad. sad. !”
Anna shakes her head and laughs ”Don’t be dramatic!”


”Its been months you… since your ex, and you have been withdrawn and walking around like a loner . Of course I would be dramatic. Can I cry for effect?” she pouts, Anna laughs.
