Karen stirred in her sleep, feeling a peace that was most likely due to the
little pink pills that loved to be swallowed. Sleep.No, she hadn't gone to
sleep and what was that smell that so beckoned her into consciousness and.
"If you touch my nipple once more, that hand will touch nothing again." She stated in a calm but uncompromising tone of voice. The hand left her boob and moved towards her cheek, softly caressing it. Karen frowned, what the hell had she gotten into now? She flinched away from the touch in disgust and opened her eyes. A blurry scene greeted her with flashing lights and figure that hovered just above her. Sure enough the air smelled of booze and burned toast, a familiar smell that immediately made her think of the mini bar at her house.
"Poodle? Am I dead?" She asked feeling the immediate area around herself. To her dismay it felt too real for her to be dead. "More likely a pill induced coma" She laughed slightly rubbing her eyes. A club, she thought looking around. She was in a gay club with Jack sitting beside her in a heterosexual manner. Thinking about it, the loud music was a dead give away.
"Jack what am I doing here?!" She yelled turning towards him and waving her hands around dramatically. Jack smiled taking her hands in his in a strange placating way.
"I am showing you how much you mean to me!" He shouted back pulling her into a bone crushing hug.
"By taking me to a gay bar, what." She wriggled out of Jack's grip taking a breath. ", What is this?" Jack grinned pulling her to her feet.
Taking her hand gently he led her towards a door next to the bar, which led up some stairs into another part of the club. Karen could see that this was a restricted zone due to the darkness and quiet of the rooms. What the hell had Jack got planned for her? She dreaded to think but could he.have turned straight to show her his love? Karen laughed to herself at her absurd thoughts and stared anxiously up to the door at the top of the stairs.
"Jackie you are full of surprises." She whispered forgetting that she was supposed to be angry with him. He squeezed her hand on response and with the other hand he gripped the door handle and turned it. The room was dark as Jack led Karen into what she presumed was the centre and nothing happened. "Come on, I'm still angry with you poodle, you wont.." The blue light emanated from the floor lighting up the room and making Karen speechless. It was only now that she noticed that her clothes had been changed and she was clothed in a long Burgundy coloured dress made from the purest silk. It clung to her body as if it had been made for her then she remembered that she had bought the very same dress two years ago with Jackie. It had been when he fancied himself as a clothes designer, which lasted about two days before he was an actor again. "You like?" He asked, blue eyes sparkling bright. Karen nodded swishing the dress about her legs as if she were a child. "That's not all I have for you, I mean it's not fantastic because I kind of organised it at the last minute tonight." He giggled nervously and clicked his fingers twice. The signal made a curtain open at the far end of the room revealing a live band that she instantly recognised as Aerosmith. She knew Jack had been planning this for a while; there was no way in hell he could have gotten Aerosmith to play at the last minute. Steven Tyler grinned at her and winked, so they did remember Madison Square Gardens she thought grinning. As the opening bar of Angel began to play Karen's eyes filled with tears that fell delicately to the floor as Jack held out his hand for her to take it. Her emotions came out in a jumble with a novice control as he pulled her to him.
"I want your love lets break the walls between us." He sang putting his arm around her waist, as he sang the words she knew he meant it. "Enough's enough I've suffered and I've seen the light, baayabay you're my angel."
They held each other close with nothing but a platonic friendship that went deeper than any relationship could ever do. Love doesn't know the boundaries between straight and gay sexuality and Karen knew that she had found her soul mate and she wasn't letting go again, no matter whom Jack was a friend with. He spun her outwards with theatrical grace making the folds of her dress fan out in precision cut waves. She felt on top of the world, like she could never come down again. Not even Stan could bring her down now she knew her poodle was a loyal friend.
"I love you Kare. "Jack whispered into her ear then preceded to sing the lyrics to her in the style of a rock star. Karen laughed turning towards the stage once more unbelieving that Aerosmith were actually playing for her. This was the most amazing night she had ever had and it wasn't going to be the last now that she was Jack's number one again. Still she did wonder how he had paid for all of this. Wait a minute, credit cards...
"Jack!!!!!!!"
