"Roger, you can't play that song." Charlie argued sitting in a booth sipping her water.
"Why not? It's Guns and Roses." he asked setting his beer bottle down on the table.
"I used to lover her but I had to kill her? You can't be serious." she said laughing.
"It's a good song." he insisted leaning forward.
"I think not. What's wrong with Talk Dirty to Me?" she asked setting her glass on the table.
"Nothing last night, but I'm not playing Poison. Forget it. I draw the line on them." he said as she looked at him.
"Would you shut up about that please?" she said quietly as she got up.
"I'm sorry, but I'm still not playing Poison." he yelled as she walked away.
"Well you're not playing I Used To Love Her either." she said without turning around.
"Whatever." he told her running his fingers through his hair as Mark came over.
"What the hell is going on with you two?" he asked as Roger sat back in the booth.
"Nothing. She still has shit taste in music." he told him picking up his beer again.
"You guys are weird. Last night you were all over each other at the loft and today you're arguing." Mark said laughing.
"Yeah well, you know she likes to fight with me." he told him getting up.
"And you like to fight with her too." Mark said laughing as Roger went up behind him Charlie and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Hey Baby. I gotta go. Are we still on for the movies?" he asked kissing her cheek.
"Yeah, but you're still not doing that song." she told him as she turned around.
"I know, I just wanted to torture you a little bit." he told her laughing as he leaned down to kiss her.
"And you say I'm evil?" she said laughing as she ran her fingers through his hair.
"What? I'm not allowed to have any fun?" he told her leaning down to kiss her again.
"Not at my expense." she said looking up at him.
"But you can have fun at mine?" he asked laughing at her.
"I'll see you later Roger." she said laughing as he left the club.

"So what movie are you taking Charlie to?" Collins asked smiling at Roger.
"Who cares? We never actually see the movie anyway." Roger told him laughing.
"So things are going good with you guys, huh?" he asked folding his arms over his chest.
"Yeah, unless we're in the club. Then she drives me crazy." he said laughing.
"You love it and you know it. It turns you on when she stands up to you." he said laughing.
"Yeah, it does. I have something special in store for her tomorrow night. She's gonna love it." he told him before putting his jacket on.
"Did you say those three little word yet?" he asked following him to the door.
"It's complicated." he told him turning around to face him.
"What's so complicated? You do love her, right?" he asked smiling at him.
"Yeah I do. I mean, we've been dating all summer and things have been great, it's just..." he started before Collins interrupted him.
"It's just nothing boy. Tell her already. You know you want to." he said putting his hand on Roger's shoulder.
"I don't know if she feels the same way about me or not." he told him looking down.
"Oh she does. I see the way she looks at you and the way you piss each other off. She loves you. Trust me." he said smiling at him.
"Then why hasn't she said it yet?" Roger asked looking up at him.
"Maybe she's waiting for you. I mean, she knows all about Mandy and April and Mimi. Maybe she's trying to be patient." he said quietly.
"Charlie, patient? You're kidding right?" Roger asked laughing.
"Yeah well, maybe she's just as scared as you are." he said smiling at him.
"Maybe. I don't know. I want tell her when I sing that song to her tomorrow night." he said smiling back.
"Just make sure it's not another song that'll piss her off." Collins told him laughing.
"Yeah well, it's fun when we're pissing each other off." Roger said laughing as he opened the door.
"You two are weird." Collins said laughing with him.
"I know. But she's different, you know? She doesn't put up with my shit all the time. It's one of the things I love about her." she told him smiling.
"I know, man. Have fun." Collins said as Roger left the loft to go pick Charlie up for their date.
