Blast From the Past
Chapter 1:
Mimi and Roger walked down the street towards the loft. Collins had gone ahead with Mark so the couple could spend some time together.
"Hey Rog, I was thinking, maybe you could come to my show tonight," Mimi suggested as she slid her hand into Roger's back pocket. "I could give you a private show afterwards."
"I don't like all those sick bastards looking at my girl." Mimi stopped, and wrapped her arms around Roger's neck. She swung from his neck, and looked into his green eyes.
"You're the only one for me, and you know that. Come on baby, please?" Mimi began to pout. Roger rolled his eyes.
"You've been spending too much time with Maureen, you know that right?" Mimi flashed Roger a cheeky smile.
"You know you love me anyway." Roger kissed the tip of Mimi's nose.
"Yes I do. Now, let's go before they send out a search party for us." The couple began to walk down the street again.
"So, will you come to my show tonight?" Roger sighed. Mimi just wouldn't drop the subject!
"Yeah, I'll go." Mimi let out a squeal, and pecked Roger on the lips.
The couple continued to walk down the street towards the loft talking about meaningless things. Roger squeezed Mimi's hand.
Everything was peaceful until they heard a voice call out behind them, "Roger Davis, is that you?" Roger spun around. Rushing towards him was a young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She stopped and smiled. "It is you!"
"Ashley?" Roger asked. She nodded. "Umm, wow. Didn't expect to see you here." Ashley smiled and gave Roger a hug. Mimi felt almost threatened by her. "Ashley, this is my girlfriend, Mimi." Ashley looked at Mimi like she was a piece of trash.
"Nice to meet you," Mimi said with the nicest tone she could come up with. Ashley shifted from one foot to the other.
"Likewise." Mimi took an immediate dislike to the woman. "So Roger, we must get together and catch up one day. How about lunch?" Before Roger could reply, Ashley whipped out a piece of paper and scribbled down her phone number. "Give me a call. We should get together for lunch." Ashley gave Mimi a deadly stare. "Just the two of us. You know, for old time's sake. Well, bye!" Mimi could have sworn that Ashley winked at Roger before leaving.
"I don't like her," Mimi said the second Ashley was out of earshot. Roger took Mimi's hand, and they began to walk again. "She still ahs a thing for you." Roger didn't say anything. He knew that Ashley still had a thing for him. The best thing he could possibly do is keep his mouth shut and his opinions to himself.
Much to Roger's dismay, Mark, Collins, and Maureen all found it completely hilarious that Ashley was back and still had a thing for Roger. Joanne was completely out of the loop about the whole thing.
"Wait, so who
exactly is Ashley?" the lawyer asked.
"My ex from high
school; self-righteous, whiney two timer. She probably tracked me
down," Roger replied.
"What did she do?"
"Oh! I want to tell her the story!" Maureen announced. Mimi couldn't help but smile. Not because of Maureen's enthusiasm, but because she had said, 'story', and the dancer found out about Ashley through a story. Roger sighed.
"Go ahead Mo." Maureen settled down on the couch and cleared her voice dramatically. Roger rolled his eyes.
"Roger dated this airhead name Ashley our senior year. I personally didn't like her; there was something off about her. Anyway, it was all-good; they went to prom together and all that jazz. Literally the day after prom, Ashley told Roger that she had another boyfriend, and it was over. Now, the little liar's back."
"I guess you two got along wonderfully," Joanne said sarcastically. Maureen snorted.
"Yeah right. I
hated that little bitch. She thought she was the greatest thing
since sliced bread. I said good riddance when she left. I think she
tracked you down too. She's a stalker."
"She gave Roger
her number," Mimi said as she patted Roger's knee.
"you met her?" Collins asked. Mimi nodded.
"She didn't like me though. She barely even acknowledged me." Mimi shrugged. "I don't like her too. She's a skank or something." Everyone laughed. Those who knew Ashley knew she was a skank.
Later that night, Roger and Mimi were sitting around their apartment talking. Mimi got up and began to change into one of Roger's old shirts for the night. She was completely wiped after working.
"Hey honey," she said as she got changed. "I know I'm not in charge of you and all, but I don't feel really comfortable with you going to go see Ashley alone." Roger got up off the bed.
"Why?"
"She's
your ex girlfriend for God's sake, and she wants you back!
I feel threatened by her. I don't want another girl hitting on
you."
"Now you know how I feel whenever I go to work with you! Those men looking at you shake your ass in a thong! If I want to go out and have a friendly lunch with Ashley, then I will!"
"Go! go see that whore then! I don't really give a damn what the hell you do!" with that, Mimi crawled into bed and faced the wall. Roger waited until her breathing evened out and then got in bed next to her.
