Too Busy To Call?

After a day of shoe shopping with Halle, Olivia goes home to prepare for a dinner date with Shawn.  She cooks up something nice and waits for his arrival, but he doesn't show up until the early morning.

 

Olivia- "It's one in the morning, dinner was at eight."

 

Shawn- "Some things came up."

Olivia- "Like what?"

Shawn- "Uh...my agent had me doin' phone interviews and it took longer than we thought."

 

Olivia- "You could have called."

Shawn- "I did."

Olivia- "I received not one call from you."

 

Shawn- "Then something must be wrong with your phone."

Olivia- *eye roll*

Shawn- "What?!"

 

Olivia- "I'm gonna get back to bed, that's what!"

 

Shawn walks toward Olivia's bedroom.

 

Shawn- "Let's go, I'm tired too."

Olivia- "I don't think so, there's a bed at your place."

 

Shawn- "Olivia don't be like that."

Olivia- "And how is that?"

Shawn- "Actin' like you all mad.  I told you what happened!"

 

Olivia- "I have a right to be upset!  I was expecting you five hours ago, now you show up  here with some nonsense."

 

Shawn makes his way towards the front door.

 

Shawn- "Look, I'ma catch up with you tomorrow when you cool off."

Olivia- "How about we just cool off, period?!"

 

Shawn stops in his tracks and turns to face Olivia.

Olivia- "I'll see you around."

Shawn- "You really doin' this?"

 

Olivia- "...Yes."

 

After a long silence...

Shawn- "You're right Olivia.  I didn't call you and I should of.  Time just got away from me."

Olivia- "Thank you for your honesty, but it's a little too late...good-bye Shawn."

 

After a few minutes, Shawn exits the condo.  Olivia watches him leave and starts to feel a twinge of sadness.  Unsure if she made the right decision.  She really enjoyed Shawn's company, but his story doesn't sound completely legit to her.  She reminded herself- "Five Hours", then made a cup of tea and headed back to bed.
