Last Wednesday night I was watching television when the phone rang
'Hello?' I said.It was a girl's voice at the other end.
"Can I speak to Ben,please?"
There's no one called Ben in our house.It was probably a wrong number but I was bored.
I replied "I'm sorry.He isn't in.
'Do you know what time he'll be back?' She asked.
'I think he'll be home about ten'.
There was a long silence.'Is that Steve?'
My name isn't Steve either.This was definitely a wrong number.So I replied,'Yes,Can I take a message for Ben?'
'Well.He said he was staying at home tonight and he asked me to call him,'She said in an irritated voice.I replied,'Well,he went out with Karen about an hour ago.He said he was coming back at ten.'A shocked voice said,'Who's Karen?!'
'The girl he went out with.'
'I know that! I mean,who is she?'
'I don't know her last name.Look,do you want to leave a message for Ben?'
'Yes. Tell kim to call me when he gets home.' She was really angry now.
'Sure."Is that Jennifer'
She exploded 'Who's Jennifer?'
'Well. He's going out with Jennifer at ten.I thought you were Jennifer.Sorry. It was a mistake.'
'I think Ben has made the mistake! Tell him that Alice called and I'm very upset and ask him to call me.'
I smiled and said, 'Ok, but Becky won't like this...'
