Call Me

Tuesday, 9.57am
I'm sorry but Kathy isn't able to get to the phone right now so please
leave your
message after the tone. Thank you.

Hi Kath, it's Steve. Sorry about last night - I know you wanted to go
to Joe's party
but I had to work late again. You won't believe the time I got home -
gone ten thirty!
I was shattered. Anyway, I'll make it up to you, I promise. OK, so I've
been saying
that for the past month, but it's been so busy at work. See you
Saturday night at
Finnigan's Wine Bar? Love you.

Wednesday, 11am
Kathy, Steve again. Thanks for calling earlier. I was a bit surprised
you went to the
party on your own. Let's have lunch together. We could meet at our
special place in
the park and then go for a pizza. See you there around one thirty? Got
to go,
expecting an urgent call. Bye.

Wednesday, 4.13pm
Kath, I'm really sorry about lunch. I hope you didn't get too wet,
waiting in the rain. I
don't blame you for being pissed off with me. But there was an
emergency meeting
and I couldn't get away. Are we still on for Saturday?

Wednesday, 7.33pm
Kathy, light of my life! Since you haven't called, I expect you're
still mad at me.
Please believe how sorry I am. Love you lots but I have to go to
Manchester on
business early tomorrow. I'll leave my mobile switched on in case you
call.

Thursday, 6.57pm
I'm back, Kath. I really miss you. Why haven't you called? OK, so I
forgot to
recharge the batteries on the mobile, but you could have left a message
at the office.

Thursday, 8.45pm
Me again. I thought you might have called me tonight, but you're
obviously out
somewhere. Again. Are we still on for Saturday? Call you later.

Thursday, 11.15pm
Guess who? I'm beginning to feel like I'm having a relationship with
your answering
machine.

Thursday, midnight
Kath - Steve. Call me.

Friday, 4.31pm
Called four times last night. Where where you? If I was the suspicious
type, I'd be
wondering if you were bonking some other bloke. Just joking. Anyway, I
assume
we're still on for tomorrow, usual time, usual place. By the way, I
bumped into Joe at
lunchtime - said I missed a great party. I thought you told me it was
dull?

Sunday, 3pm
It's Steve. What's going on, Kath? Surely you're not still angry with
me? I hate sulky
women. If you stood me up on purpose to make a point, well, point
taken. But we
should talk about this, you silly bitch. Call me, for Christ's
sake!

Sunday, 3.23pm
Kathy, this is Steve. I'm really getting pissed off, now. If you're
there, pick up the
bloody phone. Katherine?
Sunday, 3.25pm
This is the ansaphone for Kathy and Joe. We're in bed right now, but if
you want to
leave a message please wait for the tone.
