When I spoke to Lucas last time he told me that he wanted to sell his bike so he could buy a new one. And I remember you told me that you wanted to buy a bike. So why don't you ask Lucas maybe you could buy his bike?
After the homeparty someone left a mp3 player at my kitchen. Later my cousin Thalia asked me if I saw her mp3 player. I told her that I found it. She was so happy and ask me when she could take it back because she couldn't live without music.

Hi Katherine,
Just a little suggestion** for you:
We use the past perfect tense for an action that happened even earlier before.
Example 1: Someone wanted to buy a bike BEFORE that person told you about that plan. The verb wanted happened before the verb told.
Therefore, we use had wanted (past perfect tense), however, we use told (simple past tense).
Example 2: You found Thalia's mp3 player BEFORE you told her about it. The verb found happened before the verb told.
Therefore, we use had found (past perfect tense), however, we use told (simple past tense).
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Lance
