She dialed the number for the second time, but there was no response.She heard the footsteps of someone walking in the direction of the door. Then she was a bit calm when the person got to the door and opened it. It was Min's friend.
"Why do you have to keep me waiting for hours before coming to open the door? She spoke while she walked inside her apartment.
"I'm sorry, but I was already asleep. Your call woke me up," Zhang Min said as she yawned.
"Really! Fast asleep? When you are supposed to be awake, knowing full well that I have yet to come, I guess it was even my second call that woke you."
"Ooh, you called before?" Min asked in a tone that indicated she needed to sleep more.
Zhang Min hated to be disturbed when she was asleep. She easily gets a severe headache whenever her sleep is interrupted.
"Like... Are you serious right now? You're asking me if I called earlier? I knew it; you were not only fast asleep... You were dead asleep." Fang teased Min.
"Why are you coming back this late? I've been awake for hours waiting for you to come back. I tried reaching you, but your number wasn't connecting." Zhang Min sounded worried.
"What else do you think would have kept me out up to this time if not for the impossibility of getting a cab early enough?" Fang responded tiresomely.
She got off the couch she was sitting on and hurried to the bathroom to have a cool bath.
"Min, I hope you prepared dinner for me," Fang asked while inside the bathroom.
"I did not prepare anything. I expected you to have eaten at your workplace before coming since you are used to coming back late."
"You never cease to annoy me. When did I start having dinner at work? You didn't know that you ought to get dinner ready before I get back, right?Well, it's never too late because you are still going to get it done for me. I've got no energy left to enter that kitchen. I'm famished and exhausted."
"You don't have the strength to make dinner, but you have the energy to run your mouth like a running tap.Wait a minute! Are you expecting your visitor to cook for you?You should be the one doing that for me based on me being your visitor and not the other way around."
"Who made you a visitor? Did you inform me before coming? You know I am not like you; if you had told me you were coming, I would have prepared enough food in the morning before going to work." Fang said as she walked out of her bathroom to the room where Min was seated.
"I need not tell you that I am coming. Get in the kitchen and cook some food for yourself. Make sure you dish out as much as you can. I've eaten already." Zhang Min Said
On hearing what Zhang Min said about food, Fang Quickly dashed into the kitchen and did exactly what Min had asked her to do.
Min had prepared dinner for the two of them.She knew Fang would be very tired of getting back from work. She thought it wise to do the cooking to avoid Fang going through the stress of cooking.
"Min. You are becoming more unpredictable these days. We've been friends since our childhood days, and I still find it hard to predict you sometimes." Fang said while she ate
"Really? It's good to be unpredictable." Min responded
"Aren't you going to eat with me?" Fang asked her friend to join her as she ate.
"I've had mine already. Eat to your satisfaction."
"So how did you manage to get home?" Min asked Fang
Please, I'm eating. You know I hate to talk while I eat. It's not proper."
"alright. Wake me up when you are done."
"How come you didn't tell me you were coming when you called me this morning?"
"Do I have to let you know before coming? I thought it better not to tell you; who knows, maybe you would have asked me not to come."
"Keep Quiet! I've never tried to stop you from coming to my house.
"I know. But you can decide to change at any time; after all, change is a constant thing. Besides, I prefer to take you by surprise," Zhang Min concluded.
"Really? That's because you know you're the only friend I have. If I am not with you, who else can I possibly be with? If I am not at work, I would be at home, so you see why you took me by surprise works so well for you?" Fang said
"Well, you are right," Zhang Min admitted to Fang's claim.
