But one comment in particular stood out, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance because of who made it - Julie. Her comment read: 'Just date already.'

Just then, Derick messaged me again:

DERICK: 'By the way, you're a great dancer. Are you taking practice?'

SILVIA: 'No, I'm just my own teacher, and you're also a good dancer.'

DERICK: 'Thanks! I love the way you move your legs. I thought you didn't know how to tango, but I wish to dance with you again.'

SILVIA: 'Thanks a lot.'

DERICK: 'But Jenny is a bad dancer; don't tell her, or she'll kill me!'

SILVIA: 'Derick, stop it! She's your sister!'

DERICK: 'Yes, she is, but her bloodline...'

DERICK: "Yes, she is, but her bloodline of dancing has faded; she's a terrible dancer."

SILVIA: "Derick, stop it!"

DERICK: "Can I ask you for a favor?"

SILVIA: "Why not? Go on."

DERICK: "Can I have Anissa's number?"

SILVIA: "No, I don't have her number." (thinking) "Idiot."

Then, I gave him a terrible stare before sending him Anissa's number and dropping my phone. Messages kept coming in; I was angry and jealous. Eventually, I decided to check the messages, and they were all from Derick:

DERICK: "Thanks."
DERICK: "Why aren't you replying to me?"
DERICK: "Why are you angry? Tell me."
DERICK: "Please just reply to me."

SILVIA: "What! I've given you her number, so what more do you want from me?"

DERICK: "Wait, are you jealous?"
