被甩了？

當Carlos在Tony的咖啡廳忙得不亦樂乎的時候，Sarah卻不喜歡他窩在一個小小的咖啡廳里。然而Carlos沒有資本開一家正規的餐廳，也不知道什么時候能存夠錢。于是Sarah提出跟他分開一段時間，所以Carlos非常沮喪。他是不是就這樣被甩了？“蜂蜜”們，和我們一起期待接下來發生的故事吧！

Carlos： Listen Sarah， I just don’t get what the problem is. I’m only helping out here in the café， it’ll only be for a bit， Tony’ll be back next week.

Sarah： I just thought you wanted more than to make sandwiches in a little café.

Carlos： It’s quite a nice café！

Sarah： Well， yeah， I know it is， I mean it’s a good place for us all to meet up and hang out， but， well， you know， I thought you wanted to own a proper restaurant.

Carlos： I do！

Sarah： And when’s that going to happen？

Carlos： I...I don’t really know. When I’ve got enough money.

Sarah： And when will that be？

Carlos： Don’t really know， soon—I hope！

Sarah： Well， let me know when it happens！

Carlos： Sarah—I’m not sure what you mean.

Sarah： I just， I just think perhaps we should take it easy for a bit， maybe stop seeing each other for a while.

Carlos： Oh， well， OK. I guess...whatever...

Sarah： Bye now. I’ll see you around， OK？

Fadi： Hi Carlos！

Carlos： （1）dejectedly） Hello there.

Fadi： What’s up mate？ Carlos： Oh， nothing.

Fadi： No believe you. Go on！

Carlos： I’m just a bit fed up of working here.

Fadi： Well， Tony’s back next week， isn’t he？

Carlos： Yeah， that’s not all.

Fadi： What else？

Carlos： Sarah doesn’t want to go out with me anymore.

Fadi： Oh， sorry to hear that. Well， never mind. Perhaps you’ll 2）make it up.

Carlos： Yeah. Maybe. Hope so.

（door’s opening）

Fadi： Olivia！ Hi！ Just the girl I wanted to see.

Olivia： Why’s that？

Fadi： Well， a couple of reasons.

Olivia： Go on.

Fadi： First， you know the business me and Harry and Johnny are starting.

Olivia： “FindLondon”？ The tourist help service？

Fadi： Yeah， that’s it. Well， we need some more capital. I wondered if you wanted to be in on it.

Olivia： Thanks， but no thanks...like I already said Fadi， I’ve got enough to do running my own business！

Fadi： （sighs） OK， fair enough.

Olivia： What was the other thing？

Fadi： Oh， yeah， I was wondering if you wanted to come out on Friday night？ Go see a movie， go for a drink maybe.

Olivia： Oh， thanks， Fadi， but it’ll have to be a no on that one too—I’m looking after Joe on Friday.

Fadi： Joe your nephew？ Oh， he’s always around， isn’t he？

Olivia： Family is important， Fadi！

Fadi： You sound like my dad.

Olivia： （laughs）

Fadi： Listen， you do want us to carry on seeing each other， don’t you？

Olivia： Yeah， but nothing serious， eh？ Let’s just keep it casual.

Fadi： OK. （shouts） Hey Carlos！ I think that’s two of us！

Carlos： （3）groans）
