ALL MY LIFE
PART TWO
The guy that followed him was Scott Neil. He was way better looking than Matt (And Matt was almost as good looking as Charlie and Cooper put together, so that just says how Scott looks). With his dark drown hair and the most gorgeous light green eyes you will ever see, he was a dream.
Matt sat down on the couch and Jody sat comfortably on her lap, her favorite place in the world to sit. Scott sat next to them and smiled at Jody. She snapped on the TV and the three settled in to watch the interview with the director of their company, Cooper Neilson.
Afterwards, Jody turned off the TV and sat in between the two guys.
"I cannot believe he said that!!" Matt exclaimed.
"Intruiging isn't exactly an insult you guys." Jody said.
"Yeah, but the way he said it! 'They are the most interesting three-some I've ever meet. They're all about sex and dancing.' I mean, please!" Scott said, voicing Cooper's words in an obnoxious tone, sounding just like him.
"It's not that bad!" Jody said.
"Yeah right! Come on! You're just all… whatever. I mean, you dated him! You slept with the goddamn ass hole!" Scott stated angrily.
"Ok, first of all, you are such a jealous freak!" Jody exclaimed. "And you know, yes, I have dated him. And yes, he still loves me. But I don't care. That doesn't change who I love! Scott, I love you! And Matt, I love you too, you're my best friend!"
Scott smiled and kissed her check softly. "Aww, I love you too."
"What about Eva and Erik? And what are those friends in California… uh, Sergei and Galina?" Matt teased.
"Well, sure. Eva is my best girl friend. And Erik's my friend too. I see Eva more than Erik, and I only see her a few times a month. I see you guys everyday. And I haven't seen Sergei or Galina in forever!"
Matt smiled. "Yeah… what about that other guy? Harlem or something."
"Harlem??" Jody questioned her best friend.
"It was like Harlie or Harlem. Something with an H anyway."
"Harlie?? Oh… Charlie?"
Matt smiled. "Yeah! That's it! What about him!"
"Well, I haven't talked to him in forever. Not since… the day he moved actually."
"When was that?" Scott asked.
"Uh… we were… 21. 5 whole years ago…" Jody recalled that time in her life.
Getting bored of the subject, he looked around the room. "Hey Jody, you got a message, want me to play it?"
"Sure, why not?" Jody looked at the red light flashing on the answering machine.
Scott pushed the play button and the machine went on to say the day and time of the message. Then it played. "Hey Jody." Jody instantly recognized Charlie's voice. "It's me, Charlie. Wow, it's so great to hear your voice again. I've missed you a lot. Umm… I really need to talk to you. I have some big news… and I kinda wanna tell you in person. But since I can't do that… I wanna tell you over the phone while you're on the other end. I really want you… I really need you now. Well, my time is probably running out on here, so, bye now. And who are your guys? Well, bye, miss you lots!"
Scott and Matt looked in surprise at Jody.
Jody raised her hand slowly and covered her hand. "Oh… my… God!"
