How dare you say, “Did you have a good time last night?”, though you know it.
――It wasn’t as if you had done anything to be ashamed of, lady?
I hate you.

A radio was making a noise to fill up a blank.
In a small room of an apartment, one woman lay on a sofa using a tablet computer and the other woman brought two cups of coffee. Two women looked same, having same colour of hairs, same hairstyles, same faces, same sexy beach bodies in bathrobes and same voices.
So to say, they were twins.
However, just one point was different. A woman lay on the sofa looked fine in relaxed, while the other woman looked tired with annoyed face.
“Hey,” a woman bringing two cups of coffee said onto the other woman, “could you make some space?”.
“How?” She replied.
“Come on.”
“Just kidding, you know?”
“Not for me now.” She spoke gradually slower and slower, “I’m so exhausted that you'll make me crazy and do some fuckin...”
“Hey, please. I am sorry for it. But...what made you so irritated?”
“What...what!?”
She sat on the sofa next to the other woman who turned off the tablet computer, put cups on the low table besides the sofa, and said.
“Today, our fucking manager...”
They could not speak without saying something disagreeable. As usual, two women was laughing at someone behind someone’s back. Ordinally, it was about bad attitudes of guys.
“Disgusting.”
“It’s true.”
Time had passed, somehow a white wine, cheeses, crackers, some fruits and cigarettes were on the low table. A woman leaned on the shoulder and the other leaned on the head. Bringing those stuffs to each mouth other, two women were chuckling as if they forgot a disgusting guy.
One cigarette was too long, so once a woman pick one and started smoking after making sound of S.T.Dupont and a sparkle, the other woman stole it.
Sooner, she put out the cigarette.
“Bitter.”
“You stole my cigarette.”
“It’s not a complaint.”
“OK... So, pick one fruit.”
“You’re right.”
So, a woman reached out her hand.
“Hey,” she stopped her hand as if there were too much stuffs to pick one up and asked, “would you also like some...wine, cheese, fruit...or some sweets?”
“A sweet?”
“Yes, a kind of sweet that makes you pleased.”
“Sounds special.”
A woman increased the radio volume to drown out the noise.
