The Letter – chapter one – Miss Perfect
3pm… maybe I should get up, still half asleep I head for the bathroom.
"Good morning Roge" Mark, I didn't even notice him.
"Mornin'" I mumble, hell, I just got up, it's not like I'm awake or anything.
"Hey! You don't want to ask me what I've done last night?" nope, I want a shower, then I can talk.
"Okay, what've you done last night, filming?" that sounded meaner then I wanted to but he knows I'm not a morning person, no, not even at 3 pm.
"I met someone" okay, coffee instead of shower, this is probably going to be a long story,
and hey, Mark met someone, sheesh Davis; he's your best friend you're supposed to be happy for him.
"Really… so you got laid?" okay, good for him
"She's not that kind of girl"
"Oh, so this is 'I met someone and it could be serious'?" okay, good for him too, but he really needs to get laid.
"I don't know, I've just, I feel like I know her forever. She's smart, funny. she's that girl that'd never go out with me."
Yeah, so screw it and let me have my shower! Shit, did I say that? good I didn't…
"So does miss perfects have a name?" that sounds better, still sarcastic but better…
"Tracey" Tracey, baaaaaad name, shit, get it out of your mind Davis, concentration on…
"Roge?" …Mark
"Huh?" he didn't say my name, did he?
"You're listening at all?" oh yeah, he was talking to me.
"Yeah, sure I was just…" oops, " so how did you meet her?"
"Collins wanted to meet me at the bookstore and I was waiting and she came in looking for any Kerouac book but no-one came to help her. So we started talking and Collins didn't show up so we went to the Life." He shrugs, cute.
Can I get my shower now? Why is he so excited anyways? Didn't he just say she was that kind of girl that'd never go out with him?
"So… you're seeing her again?"
"Tomorrow 8pm" Oh so it's that she'd never go out with me but she does kind of she'd never go out with me... I got it. Tomorrow, something was tomorrow, I have a gig, sure, something else, oh Maureen's back in town.
"You forgot"
"I forgot what?" wow! He doesn't remember she's coming back. He's not thinking about her right now. Big wow!
"Maureen and Joann are coming back tomorrow and planning a 'family get- together' at the life."
"Oh shoot, guess I'll just bring her along." Yeah right…
"That girl must really like you to stay after that."
" Well, Mimi stayed with you" oooops, he's getting mad. Play nice Roge…
" Yeah but Mimi's that kind of girl" okay, that wasn't nice but it was a point I guess, at least he should up.
"Well, maybe you're right, I'll just call her" just call her, Mark and 'just calling' a girl, funny "don't you have a gig that night?"
"Yeah, but it's earlier, so I'll just come over after it" No way Pookie, you're going to see Maureen, no way out. No 'but Roge' excuses this time. "So what does she look like?"
"Like a weird blond, kind of wavy-curly-messy, but cute, blue eyes" okay, I had enough.
"Well, sounds pretty good" shower…
"She's perfect Roge, and I have a date with her" I haven't seen him that excited since he started dating Maureen, well, maybe I'm just tired…
"But she's not a drama queen or anything, is she?" just making sure, not like I don't care bout my best friend.
"No, as far as I know she works at any Chinese fast food place." Well, that's something to be proud of.
"Soo, she's from New York?" just making sure…
"San Francisco, I think, she just moved here" no LA, good, it's not her, dumb to even think so…
"Cool" is this conversation over anytime soon?
"Guess I should call her before she leaves for work"
"Yeah" I get up to finally get to that nice cold water. Wait a minute, Mark not scared of calling her? Weird. I hear him dialing then dropping the phone immediately.
"Maybe I should call her later" okay, I was really worried there for a sec…
"I thought she works later…" how often did we have this conversation before? Oh yeah, I stopped counting. Now he tries to find any excuse…
"Yeah but…" there it is.
"Call her Mark!"
please review, even if you think the story is the crappiest RentFic you've ever read, then just tell me that…
