A few hours earlier.....
Tom went to pick up his fiancee at her place of work when he received an unexpected call from Fred.
"Hello baby bro," Fred greeted in his usual charming voice when Tom received the call. "You weren't expecting my call, right?"
"Hey Fred," Tom's stoned face was void of expression. He just wanted to get Fred off his back. "To what do I owe this call?"
"Hey, relax man. I know I acted a bit strange two days ago, but that was because of the feelings I have for Denise. If you were in my shoes, I guess you will do the same."
"Point of correction, I can never be in your shoes; because I don't frolic with a lot of girls the way you do," Tom said sarcastically.
"Don't judge me, Tom," Fred's tone was icy. "We all have our lifestyles. I may not be perfect but I still have some good qualities."
