Ch. 4: Its Not His Strogest Suit
Rodney had some time until 8, so he dicided he would see Alexis and break things off with her, or rather Mar Rodeny decided for him,
¨If you´re really interested in Andrea, then you will go over to Alexis´ and tell her its over. You´ve haven´t had your heart in the relasionship for a while, anyway. And if you don´t go over there, then I will tell tell Andrea about Alexis, myself.¨
Rodeny knew Mar was right; he really wasn´t in love with Alexis anymore. He was used to the familarality of the relasionship. He was also used to the box seats at Yankee Stadium, the privite corner bankets, in the back, and all the other perks that come along with dating the richest women in New York. But he was sure he could give that up for just a chance to get to know Andrea; the question was would she let him leave, or even realize he was going.
Rodeny assumed Alexis would be at Every Fiber of Your Being, her favorite botique, that probably owed half of all its profit to her. He entered the guilded double doors of the 5th Ave. Store and he was hit in the face with a myriad of colors, sounds, and smells. Techno was blasting in the backround as a pushy associate was spraying perfume in his face, while neon signs promoting ¨The Latest Spring Fasion¨ were blinking in his face. It wasn´t exactly his favorite place in the world. A small, nevous looking sales girl came running up to him,
¨You´re looking for Alexis, arn´t you? She´s in the back. Come with me.¨
The little chiwawa like creature scurried away, and the only thing Rodeny could do was follow her. She lead him to a door in the back of the store labled ¨Privite¨, knocked, and then rushed away. Rodeny was left standing there, with a slight head ache, and waited for the door to open. Another small scared looking girl cracked the door open, and quitely let him in. Their stood his girlfriend, hopfully ex soon, clad head to toe in bubble rap. Not quite sure what to say about the get up, Rodeny decided he would just get straight to the point,
¨Alexis, I need to talk to you, alone.¨
Completly ignoring Rodeny´s request, Alexis spins around and stikes a pose,
¨Darling, is this not fantastic? Just in from Paris, the latest. They will just die when they see me at the benifit tonight. Wear your white suit, it will highlight the fabric of my dress better.¨
Fighting the urge to tell her Alexis that bubble rap is not considered a fabric, he decided to get to the more pressing issue,
¨What benifit? And besides that I really need to speak to you alone.¨
¨Darling, can´t you see I´m a little busy. Don´t be silly, you know very well we have to be the plantiterum tonight at 9, for the opening of that new exibit or maybe for cancer, I forget.¨
Rodney could have kicked himself. Of course he could remember there was a new exibit at the plantiterum that would be perfect to take beautiful, intellectual Andrea to, but he forgot the only reason he knew about it was because he had to go to a benifit there with dull, ditzy Alexis. He couldn´t stand Andrea up, so he would actually have to break it off with Alexis.
¨Alexis, I don´t think I can...¨
Alexis, let out a long sigh and rolled her eyes,
¨Darling, you just got back; this was supposed to be your grand return to New York, and if you´re not there people will talk.¨
This was his golden oppertunity; He would just tell her he couldn´t go to the benifit, and then he would break up with her at a later, more convinent time. Andrea would never find out, and Mar could never say he didn´t try to break things off.
¨Thats the thing, Alexis: I just got back and I´m pretty tired. I don´t think I feel up to facing all those people tonight.¨
¨Well, if you must miss it, fine, but now I have to find a whole new outfit! Ugh.¨
Alexis pouted and turned around, focoused entirly on finding a new ¨perfect outfit¨, forgeting entirly about Rodney. Rodney exited quietly and got out of the clothes horse hell as quickly as possible. Without a worryon his mind, Rodney strolled down the street, in blissful anticipaion of the wonderful night he was hoping to have with Andrea.
Author´s Note: I had the worst time spell checking this, so their may be mistakes in the first two paragraphs. I will be traveling around Spain for the next couple of days, so I don´t think I will have access to a computer, and the when I get back to the states I have to leave for West Virginia with the ´rents, the next day. I will try to update on the one day I have home but keep in mind, I haven´t seen my friends or family in over a month. Really sorry but please be patient, and remeber ¨I just can´t do it on my own¨, I need reviews. O and sorry about the random rent refrence, I´ve just been wanting Adam for the last couple days.
