"...And then I said, 'Wait! You're going the wrong way!'"
The girl laughed at Carl's story about his pet cat. He smiled upon seeing her reaction. Flirting was not something that came naturally to Carl. But having lost so much weight, he felt more confident about his looks and, in turn, more confident in his ability to attract someone.
"Hey, I've enjoyed talking with you," Carl said, his heart nervously pounding in his chest. "Do you think I could call you som-"
Before Carl could finish his question, he felt a hand grab and squeeze his butt. He whirled around to see Tim with a devilish smirk on his face.
"Hey babe," Tim said, faking a cartoonish gay lisp. "Are you done swimming? You promised we'd go back to your place so you can do that thing with your tongue that I like."
Carl quickly turned back to the girl who had a confused look on her face. "It's not... He's my....I mean..." he stammered.
"And then I was going to model those new underwear you bought me. You know, the ones with the back cut out?" Tim said this again with the lisp, this time seductively rubbing one of his moods.
Carl's face turned bright red. "Umm, okay, well," the girl began. "It looks like you and your...boyfriend are ready to leave. I guess it was nice meeting you, Carl." She turned and quickly walked away, awkwardly waving goodbye.
"Wait! Come back! It's not-" Carl yelled, but she was gone.
Carl turned back to his best friend. "Dude! What the hell!" he yelled. "I was, like, *this* close from getting her number!"
Tim chuckled. "Oh, relax. It was just a joke!" he said. "Plenty of fish in the sea, after all. Besides, don't you think you can hook up with another cute girl now that you aren't a fat ass anymore?"
"Yeah, I can. But not if you're perving up on me, grabbing my butt and making girls think we're together!"
"Ugh, but how can I resist" Tim said jokingly as he tried pinching Carl's behind. Carl slapped his friend's hands away.
"Alright! Alright! Stop stop stop!" Carl said. "Just don't blow it for me again! Now, I'm done swimming and could use a bite to eat. There's a Mexican place that just opened up not too far away from here that I've been meaning to try. Or if you want to hang out at my place, I'm sure I've got something to eat there."
