Shel cannot believe he is waiting around for a phone call. He only went out with Belinda, "Bee", as she like to be called, three times, but he was sure she was the one. Belinda, (he wanted to be different and not call her Bee) was the perfect woman. He loved her hair, her eyes, and that body that wouldn't quit! She was so much fun to be around. She said she would get a hold of him to confirm weekend plans. He was finally going to show her off to his buddies.

It's only five o'clock. She gets out of work at four, Shel thinks he needs to chill. He has called her every day this week and left two messages each day. It is Thursday, she will get a hold of me, he thinks. Shel thought for sure she would have called yesterday because he hasn't heard from her since Monday. But, she has a stressful job. She will call, he knows she will. They get along so well and Shel dotes on her every word. He can't believe he is so smitten with her. But who wouldn't be? Belinda is the greatest.

Shel's phone starts buzzing. He jumps with anticipation. Yes! They can finally confirm their plans. Shel feels the blood rush out of his face when he sees the caller ID.

"Jesus Christ! When is she going to get it?" Shel throws his phone down.

Mia is so annoying! Shel met her two weeks before he met Belinda. They went out a few times, had some fun, and Mia doted on his every word. But, he just started not returning her phone calls, even though they had plans to go to her friends cottage. He just wasn't feeling it like she was and he didn't want to lead her on. So he did what he thought was the easiest thing to do, just ignore her until she went away. But, she is still calling and leaving messages. What the hell? Shel is so aggravated.

He picks up his phone, it is 5:10, seems like a good time to get a hold of Belinda, Miss Bee, Miss Perfect, he thinks to himself with a smile plastered on his face. He dials her number... one ring, two rings, three rings,.. "Hey, this be Beeeeee! You know what to do!" Beep!
