Chapter 8:
It had been two weeks since AJ even saw Bosco, she couldn't be happier. After their fight she wasn't sure if she ever wanted to see him again, much less talk to him.
She was minding her own business, when in came Bosco and his partner Davis, could this day get any worse? Never mind don't answer that, every time someone asks that it gets much worse. She was going to be nice though, she seated them and was so nice she actually scared herself.
"My name's AJ, I'll be your waitress for the evening. Is there anything I can get you?" she asked taking the pencil out from behind her ear, some hair fell from her bun, she quickly pushed it behind her ear.
"I'll have the ummm...burger." Davis answered.
"Wonderful choice, and you?" she asked turning to face Bosco who was staring at her.
"Same." he said with a smile.
"Alright, coming right up." she said taking their menu's and walking away.
"Why didn't you talk to her man?" Davis asked.
"I don't know alright? What the hell am I supposed to say?"
She walked over with their plates, hearing the end of their conversation.
"You could always start with 'Thank you'." she said smiling.
"Yeah, thanks." Bosco said looking down at his plate.
She just rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Hey, what's up?" Angel asked.
"Bosco's being weird."
"How can you tell?"
"Shut up, be nice."
"Did you just tell me to be nice?" Angel asked shocked.
"So?"
"Miss Rude just told me to be nice?"
"Yeah."
"Oh my God, I smell toast."
"Shut up, your not having a stroke."
AJ went on with her work, eventually she had to go back to their table. Something she was not looking foreword too, she went anyway.
"Can I get you anything else?" she asked nicely, again scaring herself.
"Naw, we're good." Davis answered.
Bosco threw some money on the table and they left, when AJ picked it up a note fell out. She picked it up, it said:
"Meet me by the trash can tonight at midnight, we have to talk."
AJ ripped it up and threw it away. As she was counting the money, she noticed that Bosco had left her a 20 dollar tip. She was lost in her thought's the rest of the night, she kinda wasn't looking forward to tonight. But she figured it was only nice to show up, what's wrong with her? Now all she thinks about is being nice? Mom finally rubbed off on her.
When they got back to their apartment, Angel went up and made some tea.
"I have to take out the trash." AJ said using that as an excuse.
"You never take out the trash."
"Well...I'm being nice."
"You've been doing that all day, you're starting to freak me out."
"Well, I'm turning a new leaf."
"That's bull shit."
"Thanks."
AJ finally got outside, Bosco was no where to be seen.
"This just figure's, I took out the trash for nothing."
"See? I told you, you talk to yourself." she heard from behind her.
"Why where you hiding behind the bush?" she asked chuckling.
"Do you know how many people take out their trash? I didn't want them thinking, I was going to mug them or something."
"Good point."
They stood there in silence.
"Look, I'm sorry about yesterday." Bosco said he couldn't bare being quiet anymore.
"What did you do?"
"I don't know, but whatever it was I'm sorry."
"You don't even know what your apologizing for?"
"No, this happened's a lot."
"It was what you did about your brother."
"Thats what it was, I'm sorry."
"He should be sorry."
They stood there again not saying anything.
"There you are." Mikey said scaring both of them.
"What the hell do you want?" Bosco asked.
"Who's this?" Mikey asked pointing to AJ with a raised eye brow.
"She lives three floor's above us."
"Nice to meet you." he said kissing her hand.
"It's not like wise." she said pulling her hand away from him and wiping it off.
"Mikey, go back upstairs." Bosco said sternly.
"Alright fine, I can understand why you want to be ALONE." he said eyeing AJ up and down, then he walked away.
"Your brother's disgusting." AJ said with a grossed out look on her face.
"Well, he was always 'Daddy's little boy'."
"What happened with your father?"
"It's a long story, I don't want to get into it now."
"Oh, that bad huh?"
"You have no idea."
They stood there, once again quiet. The only sound was people walking in and out of the building.
"Look if your not going to say anything, I'm going home." AJ said as she made her way to the door, she only stopped cause Bosco grabbed her arm. "What?" she seemed pissed off.
"I still want to apologize."
"When your brother can grow up, and apologize for himself. Then you can call me."
"If I can get him to apologize, will you calm down?"
"Yeah, yeah I would."
"I'll be right back."
"No way in hell, are you leaving me out here alone."
"Why? I had to be."
"Your a guy, you're made differently."
"Fine, we'll go in together."
Bosco walked over and opened the door for AJ.
"Your not getting extra point's for this ya'know."
"I know."
"Yeah right, like I meant that." AJ thought to herself and chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing."
"No, c'mon what?"
"I saw this commercial last night on TV, I thought it was funny."
"What was it for?" he asked after hitting the elevator button.
"Toothpaste."
"What's funny about toothpaste?" he asked dumbfounded.
"You where in it."
"So you finally saw it?"
"Yeah, it's ummm...a really good look for you." she said losing it.
"Ha, ha, ha."
They got up to Bosco's floor and went to his door.
"Mikey?" Bosco called into the dark living room.
No answer.
"Mikey?" he called again.
Still no answer.
Bosco turned on the light and found Mikey asleep on the couch.
"Sorry, he's asleep." Bosco said looking at AJ.
"So I guessed, tomorrow then." she said heading to the door.
"And I'll make sure of it." Bosco said following her.
"Bye." AJ said opening the door.
"Bye."
Once AJ got onto the elevator and the door's closed, did Bosco go back into his apartment. She snuck into her apartment, she had been gone an hour. Maybe Angel was asleep, She looked over at the couch and sure enough Angel was sound asleep. She decided to go to bed as well, at least her and Bosco could talk to each other now. She fell asleep happy...for once.
