January 7, 2002
Ok, this is how it all started. I know I should have taken into account all the weird changes going on in my life but I guess while you're in the middle things tend to pass without much knowledge until you're stuck in the middle.
So I had gotten rejected from the Scholars again. I saw that as no real need for celebration. On top of that my crazy brother brings home this box that, well I cant deny it, did interest me. But the stupid nitwit had stolen it off of a guy who was probably a Gino. You know the type with their Kappa clothes, Gelled hair and who like to show off to the extreme, my brother being one of those guys. After all, who else went to The Caramel Club? Anyways, so my dear brother along with some dear friends decided to take me to this club, something that I really didn't want from the beginning, but seeing as the founder of the mysterious box was to be there I was persuaded to go.
We get there and like I said nothing but a bunch of show off guys with their Barbie doll girlfriends. I wont get into the last remark. I was having the worst time of my life. I can't say that I don't enjoy loud music but this was just too much. On top of that I have one of the bartenders, a guy who looks like a pimp, trying to pick me up. At that point I was ready to leave, but then the mysterious ex-owner of the box decides to show up.
Completely not what I was thinking let me just say that this guy was different, but that doesn't matter for now. So he walks in like he owns the place, just the type of guy that I hate. When I first approached him, he gave me this like who the hell are you look, which was soon followed by those exact words. Without being able to say anything these other guys approach us.
They were in what seem to me like the start of a fight. My guy, I mean the box guy was being accused to seducing one of the guys' girlfriends.
"So you've been bugging my girl"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You know very well"
So then the guy brings forward his girlfriend, one of these extremely made up girl. The mysterious box guy just laughed it off. So then the other guy just got even more pissed off.
"What the fuck is so funny?"
"Just the idea of me harassing your girl. Really, she's not my type," then he turned away from them grabbing his drink from the table and taking a sip.
"Hey don't give your back to me. And what was that laughter all about? You think my woman's ugly?"
Box guy just smiled again, which in turn caused the other guy to get even more angered to the point of pulling out a gun. Extremely not necessary, if you ask me. At that point I was just ready to run. Every one in the room was just staring at us. I am adding myself because I was still standing next to mysterious box guy.
"Listen buddy, I don't think your girl is ugly and am not trying to have an affair with her. Just put the gun down. Ok," said box guy putting up his hands and being in my opinion way too calm. He must be used to this little scenes was all I could think about.
"Yah! Listen to him Frank. Put that shit away."
"NO! This guy here thinks he can just laugh at me and Laurie here and just walk away."
"Buddy, just put that away. You don't want any problems. Now do you?" asked my friend again.
"I'm not your buddy. I would never." but then at that point my buddy, who was in my eyes becoming a real hero did the stupidest thing ever. The Jackass decided that he would at that point grab the man's gun from his grasp. He did manage to do what he intended but not before shooting off the gun. Like I said before a real Jackass. But luckily nobody got hurt.
At that point people just went about their business. This must happen here a lot, I thought. Anyways, so I'm still standing there frozen from all this crazy business. Box guy is still trying to calm down the angry guy.
"Hey, I swear I wasn't trying to laugh at you or your girl. I am just here to have a good time." So then he eyes me, I would have moved away but like I said I was frozen there. Box guy just grabs me and begins saying, "I am even here with my girl so no thought of trying to get your chic. Alright."
"Is that really your girl?" asked the guy with some hope that I was, I really don't understand men.
"Yeah, why would I lie to you? Right honey," I was still standing there but I guess I must have agreed to go along with him, for at that point box guy just to show our little lie off decides to kiss me. The nerve of him, really!!!
When we parted the other guys were just smiling. I was, ok I don't really know what I was feeling at that point.
"I will see you guys later, my girl loves this song and I cant disappoint her," said box guy trying to excuse us from the presence of our criminal friends.
He led me to the dance floor since my favorite song was supposedly playing, "Sexual Healing". I do like the song but uggghhhhhhhhh!!! He expected I would dance but instead I just stood there waiting for an explanation. Like who do he think he is.
"I am sorry about that. I wouldn't have done that if I had not been in that situation," yelled he in my ear but because I wasn't getting what he was saying he led me outside.
He once again apologized.
"I'm O'Connell actually Rick. And you are?" he offered his hand to shake.
"I think we are way past that Mr. O'Connell"
"I guess we are."
"Yes. Well, the reason that I wanted to talk to you was because my brother has found a box that used to belong to you."
"OK"
"Yes well it's pertains to a place in Egypt and we were wondering where you got it?"
"Hey Rick, what's up man? Asked a strange little man who walked by.
"Doing good. I wont even ask about you as I can see your hands are full."
"Yes they are," said the little man as he walked away.
"Goodbye Benny, you little bastard," finished O'Connell before turning his attention back to me. "Yeah so that box, well I found it there. In Egypt"
"Really!!!"
"No, not really. It was just my twin. You know. He got it and it just kinda landed in my hand"
"I am serious, Mr. O'Connell."
"So am I. But what would you want with some dirty old box and Egypt?"
"I want you to take me there"
"Lady, you gotta be kidding," he laughed that off.
"Sir, do I look like I am kidding?" "Well, what do I get in return?" he asked with a mischievous smile. Ooooooooohhhhh, I could have just strangled him but he also looked so cute when he did that. Now what the hell am I thinking? Out of my head.
At that point my sweet brother walked out of the club.
"Evy, you're still here? And who is this?"
"Jonathan this is Mr. O'Connell" until that point O'Connell had his back to the club so that when he turned towards my brother, he gave him this strange look and then followed that by a fast fist towards my brother's face.
The police who were near by seized O'Connell. This is just the strangest place ever. A man gets away with having a gun in a club but then another gets arrested from punching another one.
We had no other choice but to follow the police, well that is if we wanted to know where Hamunaptra was. When we got there O'Connell was in a cell with some rather scary looking creeps. Thinking about it just grosses me out. Ewwwwwwww!!!!!!
So O'Connell and I, I let Jonathan outside for safety reasons, had our little talk again. And it was agreed that in a week's time we would be on our way to Egypt. But not by plane, as Mr. O'Connell made certain that he hates planes. So on a boat we go. Now I will have to put up with that sexist macho longer than I need to. He keeps giving me this look. I hate it, and him. Oh good there goes that sweet smile again. This is going to be the longest three weeks in my life.
End OF Something if you want it to be!!! Just review if you want more.
