“…Um… where are you going?” Alan anxiously asked Charlie. “I’m going out on a date”, he confidently said buttoning his crisply ironed shirt up.
“With who this time?”
“Alan, Alan, Alan…” He said, walking Alan into the kitchen.
“Do you remember that time in sixth grade, when you asked that girl out, and she said no because she liked someone else?”
“Yeah Sarah Hoffman, why what’s your point Charlie?”
“Well ah… I was the other guy.” Alan’s’ expression changed instantly.
“Wait! You were the guy that bought her the flowers and chocolates, and had them delivered to her in class that time?!”
“Yeah that was me…”
“And the time she said she couldn’t come and study in the library with me because she was meeting up for ice-cream with a friend, was that you?!”
“Yeah that was me too…” Charlie said with a slight bit of ease in his voice.
“Charlie how could you do that to me?” Alan disappointedly moaned.
“Alan it was the sixth grade! We were young and innocent… you had no chance anyway”, he added.
“That’s such a careless thing o do to your brother, you should be ashamed.”
“It was the sixth grade Alan!” Charlie grunted again.
“Yeah I suppose that was a while ago.” He finally came to terms.

Walking out of the kitchen and through the lounge Charlie headed for the stairs to finish off getting ready. As Charlie was halfway up the stairs Alan walked into the lounge from the kitchen.
“Um Charlie you didn’t end up answering my question, who are you going out with tonight?” There was a silence.
Charlie looked at him awkwardly, just as the doorbell rang.
“I’ll get it”, Charlie insisted, walking briskly to the door.
“Hello Charlie” Evelyn said, inviting herself in.
“It’s only mum”, Charlie said, walking back upstairs.
He turned around quickly, “hello mother”, he said with a cheeky smirk on his face. Continuing upstairs he left Alan and Evelyn in the lounge.
“Hello Alan”, she said. What’s up with Charlie?Why is he so happy?” Evelyn questioned Alan, as if it was a bad thing. “He’s going on a date…” He disappointedly exclaimed.
“Oh I see, with who this time?”
“He hasn’t told me yet,” Alan longingly said. “I’ve been trying to get it out of him for the past ten minutes; he seems to be avoiding the question.”
Jake then slowly drifted in the lounge from the kitchen with his head down in a book to Alan’s shock.
“Jake, you grandmother’s here”, trying to get his attention. He lifted his head for a second and said “Hi Grandma”, and sat opposite them on the couch.
“Jake!” She said excitedly, “how nice of you to come and see your grandma!” He stared at his book.
“So Jake,” Alan started. “What are you reading there?” He looked up, “a book”. Alan got up and went over to take a look, “is it a book from school you have to-” Alan discovered the car magazine jammed in between the pages he was reading, with pictures of promo girls all over it. “Oh Jake that’s not educational”, he said taking the magazines out. “Hey! I was reading that!”
“Not anymore”, Alan stated.
Charlie came down the stairs all dressed up, “well I’m off”, he said quickly trying to escape.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa” Alan said standing up and walking towards him. “You still haven’t told me who your date is Charlie?”
“Alan, why does it matter?” He said slightly agitated.
“Because I’m your brother, brothers tell brother’s these things.” Just then the doorbell rang.
“And that’ll be her”, Charlie said pointing to the door.
He dashed to it quickly and opened the door. “Wow... You look stunning!” Charlie said to Sarah.
“Sarah do you remember my brother Alan?” He said re-introducing them both.
Alan was shocked and couldn’t believe it. “Sa-Sarah! Hi, good to see you again, it’s been years.” Alan surprisingly said.
“Good to see you too Alan, you haven’t changed a bit.” He didn’t know whether to take it as a compliment or not, which created an awkward silence, between them all.
“Well we better go”, Charlie said breaking the ice.
“Well good to see you again” Alan said awkwardly, giving a slight wave then closing the door after them.


“Why is the traffic so bad tonight? Charlie said, creating conversation in the car, on the way to the restaurant.
“God Damn taxi drivers!!” he yelled out the window, holding down the horn.
“Don’t you just hate them?”
Sarah yelped as Charlie slammed on the breaks all of a sudden. They both jerked forward in their seats, “Oh-o”, Charlie said, then ‘CRASH!’ Straight into the back of the taxi in front of them.
The taxi driver got out, throwing his arms around everywhere, cursing his head off is his lingo and pointing to the damage on his taxi. Charlie wound his window up fast.
“Hold on tight” Charlie warned Sarah, and put his foot down. Their heads flew back into their seats as he sped off from the taxi. Charlie could see in his rear view mirror an even more mad man, but he continued accelerating.

Dinner went a lot smoother than Charlie’s driving. The only sound to be heard on the way home was the humming coming from the engine of Charlie’s bonnet.
They arrived home to Alan asleep on the couch. His head was tipped back, and his mouth was wide open, snoring. Sarah chuckled when she saw him. “I think he was waiting up for you”, she whispered, trying not to wake him.
“I think he was waiting up for you”, Charlie jokingly replied.
“Really??” She said excitedly and seriously.
Charlie looked at her oddly, “No...I was kidding” he added. There was an awkward silence.
“I should probably head off home”, Sarah said, heading towards the door.
“Or you could stay for a coffee? A Tea? Or a soda maybe?” He asked, trying to keep her there.
“Thanks, but I should really head back home.”
“Okay then”, Charlie said shocked that she wouldn’t stay.
Charlie walked her to the door and let her out.
“Thanks for dinner Charlie, it was really nice” She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“Anytime”, he said slightly blushing. Sarah walked off, and Charlie walked back inside.
As he walked inside he glanced at Alan, who was no longer asleep, but had a rather large grin on his face, staring at Charlie.
“How was dinner?” Alan asked him.
“Dinner was nice, though the drive there was interesting. There were so many taxis and crazy drivers, and we ended up the back of one of them.”
“Wait, you crashed the car Charlie?”
“Yip, I sure did. A taxi pulled out in front of me in the traffic, and I couldn’t stop in time.”
“Was there much damage?” Alan asked curiously.
“Go and see... for yourself…” Charlie pointed towards the front door.
Alan walked out and had a look at Charlie’s car. “Oh my god, Charlie! How fast were you going?” He said walking back inside and closing the door. "The bonnet is all pushed in! What’s the damage to the other car?”
“I’m not exactly sure…” Charlie said, “we kind of just drove off.”
“Wait! A hit and run Charlie? You could get fined for that, or s-sent to jail, are you out of your mind!” Alan furiously said.
“Nope”, Charlie casually said sitting down, pouring himself a whiskey. “I think I’m falling in love though.” He sipped his whiskey.
“You’re falling in love? With Sarah… already?” Alan said surprised. “You can’t be, t-that was only your first date.” He added. Charlie looked deep into his glass, he swirled it around a couple of times and then took another sip.
“What can I say Alan? I’ve meet so many girls, but none quite like Sarah, I think she might just be the one.”
“You mean you’ve met so many girls and Sarah is the only one you haven’t slept with”, he said sarcastically.
“This is absurd Charlie; you can’t make that judgement till you’ve been on at least more than one date with her.” Alan began to sound jealous.
Charlie topped his glass up again.
“Well I’m off to bed, good night.” Alan said as he walked off to his room. Charlie sat there deep in thought.

The next morning

The next morning, Charlie and Alan met again down at the kitchen table at breakfast. Alan was reading the newspaper and eating a bowl of cereal.
“Good morning” Alan said as Charlie sat down to join him.
“Morning”, he said touching his head in pain.
“How much of that whiskey did you drink last night Charlie?”
“Not enough”, he said in all seriousness. “Surely I can’t be falling for her” he said. “I mean, you’re right, we’ve only been on one date, maybe if we’d been on two I would consider it... I just can’t stop thinking about her.” Charlie said trying to straighten his thoughts and feelings out inside his head.
Alan continued reading the newspaper.
“Good morning Charlie, good morning Alan”, Berta their housekeeper said bursting into the room with bags of groceries.
“Hey Berta”, they both replied. She began to unload the groceries, putting them away into the cupboard.
“How was your date last night Charlie?” She asked.
“It was really good…” he said staring at his bowl of cereal in front of him.
“Oh yeah, so where is she then?” she said assuming she stayed over like every other girlfriend and date of Charlie’s did.
“She went home last night”, Charlie said spooning some cereal into his mouth.
“Oh… what a bummer”, She said in a sarcastic tone, continuing to unpack.
Charlie finished his bowl of cereal.
“I’m going to have a shower.” Charlie got up and left the table, as he did this, Jake came into the kitchen for breakfast.
“Good morning Jake”, both Berta and Alan said.
“Morning” he said as he sat down with a bowl of cocoa puffs.
The phone rang shortly after. “I’ll get it” Berta exclaimed.
“Hello Harper residence” She said as she picked it up. The voice on the end of the phone asked for Alan, to her surprise. “Sure, just a sec”, she handed the phone to Alan.
He took the call into the lounge, “Hello Alan speaking” he answered.
“Hi Alan! It’s Sarah…”
“S-Sarah! Hi! How are you?” He said wandering why she would be calling him instead of Charlie.
“I’m great! I know its weird me ringing you and asking you this and all, but I was wandering if you wanted to get a coffee with me sometime today?” Alan’s mind wandered back to the conversation he had with Charlie the night before about how he felt for her, but then his mind pondered off to what Charlie did to him in the sixth grade.
“Sure, I’d love to!” He decided.
“Awesome, should I meet you at the cafe at 12 noon?” She asked politely.
“Yeah, sounds good! I’ll see you there at noon then”
They both hung up.
Alan couldn’t believe it. He had a huge grin on his face, which Berta caught when he went back into the kitchen to put the phone back. “What are you smiling about?” Berta asked.
“Oh, you know, nothing, just going for coffee with an old friend at 12.”
“An old friend aye? Who might that be?” She asked nosily.
Alan still had a huge grin on his face. “With Sarah…” he said casually.
“Sarah Hoffman, the girl that you liked in high school?”
“Yeah, that’s her, also the girl that Charlie went to dinner with last night.” He said boasting.
Berta stopped what she was doing and looked at him.
“Alan, you can’t do that! He’s your brother.”
“Yes I can he did it to me in the sixth grade”, Berta looked at him, and shook her head, “boys” she said.
Charlie came back from his shower.
“Who was that on the phone?” he asked, drying his hair with a towel.
Berta looked straight at Alan, “It was an old friend of mine”; Alan said avoiding telling him the name.
“Oh yeah who?”
“No one you know.” Alan said again trying to avoid.
“Sarah Hoffman!” Berta blurted out all of a sudden. Charlie’s face dropped. So did Alan’s.
“Berta, why would you tell him?”
“He was going to find out sooner or later.” She said.
“Find out what?” Charlie questioned confused.
“Charlie it was Sarah on the phone, she rang and asked me if I wanted to go to coffee with her today. I’m meeting her at noon.”
Charlie was speechless. He walked off, blank faced.
“Charlie? Come back. It’s only coffee” Alan said chasing him.
“I can’t believe you’d do that to me, after last night when we had that chat and everything.” Charlie said.
“Charlie lets be honest here, you’re not actually in love with her, because if you were, I probably wouldn’t be standing here in front of you right now.” Charlie sort of just looked at him.
“Well, I got to go get ready, because I’ve got a date!” he said, rubbing it in his face and letting out a short laugh.
“I thought you said coffee?”
“Yeah I did... coffee? Date? What’s the difference?” And Alan ran off to the shower.
Charlie walked in and joined Jake at the table. “What are you doing today kiddo?” He asked him in a happier tone.
“I don’t know nothing I guess.”
“Good, because you and me are going out for lunch at 12 noon.”
“Cool” Jake said with a smile on his face.
