Flirting with Forty Page #3

- Jackie! Jackie.

- Hey.

My grandmother fell and broke her hip.

Oh, my... Is she gonna be okay?

I hope so. I've gotta go to the hospital.

...and speak with the doctors.

There's no one else to do it.

She sounds really scared.

God. Okay, let's go.

- Where are you going?

- I'm gonna drive you.

No, you're not. You're

getting on this flight.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you are.

No, I am not.

- Jackie!

- Kristine, I am not.

Jackie, stop acting

like a five-year-old.

- But...

- Everything is paid for.

This is... This is your birthday present.

What am I gonna do alone?

Same thing we would do together.

Get tanned, get massaged, sleep in.

Besides, if you don't go,

I'll feel really horrible.

I know.

You know, you're right. I have to go.

I promised Will.

You promised Will what?

I promised him that I would do

something fun on my birthday.

So I told him I was going.

And he was very excited.

Great. Wonderful. Go for Will, then.

You martyr.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome. Have fun.

Okay. I'm gonna have fun.

- Okay. You have fun. Yes.

- Love to your grandma.

Get on the plane.

- Thank you!

- Of course.

Call me when you settle in.

Give me all the details,

so I can be jealous.

Our friends hate that we got divorced.

You know. But, I mean, me and

Daniel, we had our differences.

And not to mention that he was cheating.

But my point is, is that I've

never been on vacation by myself.

Ever.

Thank you. You get what I'm saying?

Yes. I think I get it.

Is that it?

Yeah.

My only point was is that I'm almost 40...

...and I feel like I'm my

daughter starting school, you know?

"Will it be fun? Will I make friends?"

Have you ever felt that way?

No. I like to travel alone.

Right. You're working. I see that.

I have a book. So I'll read my book.

Quiet.

Aloha, welcome to the Royal Hawaiian.

Thank you.

Aloha, Ms. Laurens.

Ma'am, let me get you a lounge chair.

Thank you.

Ma'am.

I didn't order a drink.

This is from the gentleman across the pool.

- Thank you.

- My pleasure.

Hi, I'm Michael.

Hi, Michael.

I sent the drink over.

Yeah, thanks.

So, you're on vacation?

Yeah, yeah. Just got here.

Yeah, we've... We've been

here since before Christmas.

Kind of a worklplay, sort of hybrid trip.

Conventions and all that stuff.

We're orthodontists.

Okay.

Did you have any work done on

your teeth? They're perfect.

Not since I was 12.

That was what, last year?

So, I don't think I caught your name.

I don't think I threw it.

Great. You're not one of those ladies.

who's gonna go around

giving guys a hard time?

'Cause I gotta tell you, I'm

not getting off this chair.

...until you agree to have dinner with me.
