episode 5

Aayu didn't want to believe her friend for a second

She said with a pout: aw hailey are you jealous that I found a handsome guy and you still don't have anything resembling a boyfriend?

Hailey was now the one annoyed by the comment

She said: what are you talking about! I'm not jealous of anything! And I do not need any damn boyfriend thank you very much for your concern...

Aayu laughed at her annoyed face

And said: all right, I'm just joking don't get so defensive, you should go out more, you don't know what fun means...

Hailey rolled her eyes and said: I have plenty of fun by myself, I don't need to go to clubs and bars like you...

Hailey looked at her friend in disbelief

She said: what are you my therapist now? I'm not scared of anything and I'm certainly not afraid of men. I just do not have the time for it...

Aayu was not convinced

She said in a mocking tone: yeah you are sooo busy, you don't have the time to chat with a hot guy or go on a date with one...

Hailey was getting more annoyed

She said: okay fine you can stop saying that anytime, just because I don't want a boyfriend doesn't mean I'm some hopeless loser okay?

Aayu laughed again by her friends reaction and said with an amused smile: I'm not judging you, I'm just saying the truth that you are being very defensive because you are just scared of commitment and rejection...

Hailey sighed in resignation

She said: okay maybe I don't want involvement with anyone but that does not make me a scared loser. Just because I'm not obsessed with dating like you, it doesn't mean I'm scared...

Aayu again had a sly smile on her and said: you have never been in a relationship right? not even a single boyfriend up until now?

Hailey was flustered by the question

She said avoiding the subject: oh shut up! I'm focused on my work, not chasing some random guy in bars...

Hailey was suddenly reminded of the man who had his lips on her skin and her body shivering under his touch and it made her flustered...

She took a deep breath trying to regain her composure and said: that's different...

Aayu was surprised that her friend was admitting something like that to her

She said in an intrigued tone: wow, so does that mean you have some one night stand that you never told me about? I never knew you have it in you...

At that comment Hailey blushed bright red

She said trying to downplay it: what?! No.. nothing like that, it's not like anything happened I just... met a guy that's all...

Aayu was grinning broadly at her now

She said with mischief: only met a guy huh? and what did this guy do to you, that has you all flustered and blushing like a schoolgirl?

At that comment Hailey blushed furiously and started stuttering

She said without thinking, words coming out of her mouth unconsciously as if her brain was not able to process them first: no! he didn't! why would he? and why am I even telling you all this anyway?!...
