Chapter one

I must be crazy, I'm at a party where I only know the birthday boy, I suppose it's good for networking that's what half of these parties end up being, well I needed a break being a single mum is hard sometimes you need a break, I wasn't going to come tonight I'm only here because Sean Patrick was one of my good friends, I don't have a lot being from Australia I've never really done that whole hang with rest of the Aussie artists here in Hollywood, mostly they are up themselves or look down on me as I used to be a singer before I switched to acting, which was purely by chance I was looking for an agent and who is now my agent on his table was a script for house of 1000 corpses, I asked what this was and he said some shitty horror movie I asked may I read it and the rest is as they say history.

I stepped outside to catch my breath I'm not really big on crowds, there was a dark haired man on the balcony smoking, "sorry you don't mind do you?"

"No I don't mind, I don't smoke but I don't mind. So how do you know the birthday boy?"

"Oh we go back years about 6 how about you?

"About the same that would be 1999 right?"

Yep, Well I'm Norman Reedus and you are?

Delta Macintosh, pleasure to meet you Norman? So what were you in with SP?

Seriously? You've never seen boondock saints?

No, should I? Well at that time 1999 I had a bit on like having a baby. I don't watch a lot of movies mostly I watch a lot of horror ones thou you do look familiar; I know it will come to me where I've seen you before.

So when did you have your child what's its birthday?

October 14th in ten days.

Wow, that's my son's birthday that's pretty cool. What you'd have?

A daughter named Kassandra with a K

What's your son's name?

Mingus

That's an interesting name where's it from?

As jazz musician I liked

Nice, I just got mine from a movie how unoriginal, so is he with your wife tonight?

He's with he's mother I'm single how about you?

Oh very single. He laughed "did I just say that?"

Yeah you did, you want to go inside I need a drink

Sure.

So that's where you've been hiding Delt, I see you've met one of my best buds in the whole world, Norman you been nice to delta?

Yeah he has been a gentleman, we just talked Sean Patrick how much have you had to drink mister?

How much you had to drink?

Nothing, you know the last time I did drink I ended up with a baby can't have that happen again can I? And with that Sean Patrick was gone off to cause trouble with someone else.

So you wanna explain that?

About Kassandra's dad?

Just over six years ago I was at a party like this and my drink got spiked and well you can guess the rest, actually I need a drink want one?

Yeah sure you buying?

Hell no, Sean can it's he's fault.

Oh shit I know where I know you.

Where I dying to know where you've seen me from?

Blade 2 I love that movie scud wasn't it, I loved scud, powderpuff watching, donut eating douchebag but I'd sleep with him. Fuck I shouldn't have said that, I'm not normally this open.

Yep, wondered how long it would take you. Well he'd probably sleep with you too scud that is.

I have a silly brain that remembers shit like that, can't remember real life things but I can movie quote you to death. Thou that being said to have a man do that to me and makes me weak at the knees. Oh fuck did I just say that?

Yeah you did, you're an interesting woman, I have to say I don't think I've met anyone like you in a very long time, and to think I wasn't going to come except he's one of my best friends and here comes another, hey Sean where you been?

Nowhere in particular. Hi, I'm Sean

Delta that must make for interesting conversations having two Sean's.

I'm used to it.

Pleasure delta, hey dude why didn't you tell me you were gonna be here?

Didn't know till I jumped in a plane this morning had nothing else on so thought why not, now glad I did, otherwise I wouldn't have met this lovely lady.

Delta you look familiar, where do I know you from? Fuck I just saw you like only recently.

Oh so we've reached a fuck stage of familiarity, but I can say the same I know you but I think know where I know you from.

I know it house of 1000 corpses I love you in that movie you were awesome.

Thank you and your docos are amazing love them.

You know them? You ever done conventions delta?

Yes I do and no why?

I run some I love to have you at one.

Ok get back to me ok?

You know it's a trap, you get started on them and you can't stop they are fun or at least I have fun on them.

Well then it would mean I might get to see more of you then I would be all for that.

So you have any plans for tomorrow I'd like to see you again?

During the day I was going to take my girl shopping but that night I would free if I can find a sitter unless you wanted to come over to my place I'm a pretty good cook.

Ok you're on I'd love to have dinner with you, and to think I wasn't coming tonight this thing tonight, look at what I would missed out on meeting.

My thoughts exactly, unless this was a plan of SP's I wouldn't put it past him, he's just that cocky.

So I have to ask you and Sean you ever been together?

Oh that's rather forward, but no I couldn't be his friend if I had slept with him, him and I we've always had a tension but it never went any further then a bit of cock teasing or should I say more like pussy teasing on his behalf. Oh did I just say that? Hell I think I'm having diarrhea of the mouth tonight.

No it's fine I find it refreshing. You know when you're ready for home I want to take the same taxi, to make sure you get home safely, if that is ok with you?

That would be good, yeah I'd like that.

When it was time to leave I had to say that I haven't had better time in a very long time. Norman was a perfect gentleman, and he did take me home and insisted on giving me his number and that he walked me to my door, I asked would it be forward if I kissed you, having said that he leaned down and kissed me my legs felt like jelly but I had to let go otherwise I wouldn't have let him go.

I'll see you here about 730 is that ok or would you prefer earlier.

No that is fine, till tomorrow Miss Macintosh. And Miss Macintosh, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Mmmm that's a good one mister.

I walked through my doorway and closed the door with a silly grin on my face and couldn't believe my luck.
