It's called "in this crowded room" but one of my fave Ottawa bands, Keep Yourself Good Company (yes, yes I know what it sounds like, the name grows on u) for info ! Hope u all like this one… it's a little lovey dovey but it's my fic and I can do whatever I want that's the nice thing about being the author! laugh
If anyone would be so kind as to give me some ideas for death, place and how I'll think of up the rest u can be my new best friend, and get a dedication!!! I'll shut up now, onto the story!!!
I woke up this morning to find that the door to my room had been opened, yet again in the night, and the incessant ringing of the doorbell. Colvin can answer the phone, eat food, take residence in the living room, make rules in a house where he is not welcome, but he cannot open the door to someone that he knows. I growled, slipped on a bathrobe, and went downstairs. Colvin was in the living room, and when I got half way down the stairs, I heard the TV go on. Was he trying to piss me off even more!? Had he been sitting there staring at the door before I came down? I wanted to kick him in the head, but the little ass my enjoy that kind of shit.
"You know you could open the door, you know very well who is there!" I snapped.
"I don't live here," he commented.
"I would have never guessed it the way you've nested in my living room!"
I opened the door, and Rube walked right in, and over to the coffee maker. This has been going on for just over a week now. He doesn't see the point of us all meeting at Der Waffle Haus when his whole team is here anyway. I swear they're probably wondering where the fuck we all are! I proceeded downstairs, then upstairs to wake my real, paying, roommates. We all sat down at the kitchen table, though really it was much to small for all of us. I'd suggest we all go into the living room, but who the fuck knows what Colvin does in the sheets he refuses to move off the couch!
"Good morning, Sunshines!" Rube exclaimed happily, passing around post-its.
Colvin looked at his first. "Fuck Rube! This is in like twenty minutes!"
"Maybe had you opened the door quicker you'd have more time."
Colvin slipped on some clothes and proceeded to run out of the house. I laughed, glad that he was gone. I wondered if Rube had done that purposely somehow. We all poured some coffee, and sat at the table. I didn't even add sugar to my coffee, and I'm pretty sure everyone knew that was a sign that something was wrong.
"What's wrong, Peanut?" asked Rube.
"Why the hell did you stick us with him?" I demanded.
"What do mean?"
"You know exactly what she means Rube!" Daisy snapped. "The guy is a slob, and disgusting!"
"He can't be that bad!"
"Look at our living room!"
"Why is it called a living room anyway. I mean you don't live in a living room, cause that's what you're getting all upset about."
"It's not only that!" Mason quipped
"I have a funny feeling we're going to be playing list the complaints."
"First off he eats all of our food! We bought that food, not him, mister self-righteous won't take from the dead, but sure will sponge off the undead!" I mumbled.
"Look at our living room! We're going to have to burn those sheets and that sofa once he finally get his fat ass out of here!" Daisy added.
"He gets mad when we close doors for fuck's sake!"
"It's very annoying having a shower when there's a man screaming are you all right in there, every two minutes!"
"I'm surprised that he doesn't have us keep all the doors and windows opened!"
"Georgie and I haven't been able to have sex since he got here!" Mason added.
"Too much information, Mason," Rube said. "What it's been a week. It's been months since I've had sex!"
"You're older, Rube, besides, you don't live with your girl!"
"Then be glad for the time you do have together."
"We've barley kissed."
"Such a shame."
I wanted to say something, but figured it was a waste of air. Rube had already made up his mind, that he didn't care what his reaper's sex life was like. Sad that my afterlife sex life is so much better then my real life one. Whatever, it wasn't happening as long as Colvin was here, cause I was not having sex with the door open! The little prev would probably sit downstairs and watch while jacking off! Nasty image! Get it out of my head! Then Daisy said something that startled us all.
"He crawled into my fucking bed last night Rube! He has to go!" she yelled.
"What!?" we all exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes, you heard what you heard. The little bastard actually had the nerve to crawl into my bed last night, and ask how long it had been since I had been with a good jock!"
"I'm going to fucking kick that guy's ass!" Mason screamed.
"All right, so this is a little bit more serious of a situation then I thought."
"Are there like reaper police that you can report him to or some shit?" asked Mason.
Rube chuckled. "Not exactly, but he's been known to pull some pretty strange shit."
"Even in this line of work when you do strange shit like that, you should be fired."
"Yeah, but it doesn't work that. He has to collect his quota, even if he's transferred all around the world."
"One transfer, was quiet enough for me, thank you. They're not very nice about it," Daisy explained.
Rube nodded. "Well your transfer was a little out of the ordinary."
"Yeah, I know, everything about me is though!" She smiled.
"I'd love to stay here and chat it up, but I have a class to get to," I said.
"Oh, Peanut, always looking to make her afterlife more complicated then need be."
"I happen to like going to school, it gets me out of this nut house, and away from you for a little while every day!"
I rolled my eyes, and went upstairs to get dressed. Mason followed me up, and closed the door. He came up behind me and put his arms around my waist. I sighed, glad to feel his arms around me. He then kissed the back of my neck, and I almost moaned. Along with a reaper metabolism, I swear there was reaper horniness. I wished the Rube and Daisy weren't downstairs, I wanted to be with him so bad. It may have been only a week, but it had been a long week where I could have really used some Mason love. I smiled at him.
"I hope he's gone soon, Georgie," he said, kissing my cheek.
"Me too." I turned around and kissed him on the lips.
"Think we can manage a quiet quickie?" His eyes were glimmering with hope.
"A quickie, yes, a quiet one, not a chance in hell, I'm having enough trouble keeping quiet with just this, and this is nothing." He gave me a puppy dog look. "Yes, they'll understand, but they won't want to hear it. Soon, I promise."
He kissed me lightly. "Well off to school now, and don't talk to any strange boys, you hear me?"
I laughed. "There's only room for one strange boy in this heart."
He smiled. "I feel like a fucking prisoner in my own home, I miss Roxy."
I nodded. "Ditto."
"Why don't you just skip classes, and we'll find somewhere nice, and-" I put my finger on his lips.
"I'm paying good money for this, all right, now don't temp me. I want to focus on school this time."
He sighed. "I know, I know! But fuck!"
"Don't say that word!"
He laughed. "I love you Georgie."
"I love you too, now if you don't let me go soon, I'll be late."
I swear he giggled, and then he squeezed me tighter. "You're free to go whenever you want."
I laughed at him. "Mason, seriously, let me go."
He kissed me once more, and then let me go, I went out the door, and walked to school. School was the same as always. When I finished my classes I walked over to where L. Smyth was going to die in five minutes, a street corner, great! I wondered how many times I had sat around at various places looking to see something that would tip me off as to who was going to die, and how many more times I would have to do it.
I looked around and saw a graveling playing near a window. I looked up, and saw a person balancing on a the window sill. Great, a jumper! The guy jumped out the window, and landed on his back. I walked past him and collected his soul. That was odd, he was naked.
"Am I dead?" he asked.
I nodded. "So what's your story?"
He shook his head. "How the hell was a I supposed to know that she was fucking married! Women I knew that they were trouble!"
"Okay, then."
"I've been seeing this chick for like a month now, and you know we've gotten pretty hot and heavy, so today she invites me over to her apartment. We were finally getting somewhere and she tells me that I have to get out of there quick, because her husband is coming. So after she assures me that there is a fire escape on that particular window I jump out, and BAM! I'm dead. This fucking sucks!"
I tried not to laugh at him. "So, I'm George I'll be your grim reaper today!"
He laughed. "I needed that! So what happens now?"
"Have any unfinished business?"
He shrugged. "No, not that I can think of."
"Then you just wait for your light show to come then."
"Light show?"
"I don't know how else to describe it, you just see something that's all lit up, and you go to it, and then you're done."
He nodded. "So how long does this take?"
"Usually not long."
He nodded, and we continued walking, I was on my way home. Just before we got to the park he saw his light show, which seemed to be a forest or something. I had seen way too many of these! I continued walking to the park, and sure enough Reggie was there. I walked over to her, and sat down next to her.
"What my mom says is true," Reggie whispered.
"About what?" I asked.
"About my dad, he is having affairs! He's having affairs with his students!" She started to cry.
"How do you know?"
"He got in trouble for it! The school put a decoy into one of his classes, because they were wondering why so many female students were dropping his classes. It turns out he tries to sleep with them and stuff! For fuck's sake they could be his kids! Did he ever try anything with you?"
I wanted to lie to her, but I couldn't. "Yes, yes he did."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"He's your father, and it was not my place to tell you. I didn't know if he had done it to students before, or if he was just upset because of the divorce."
She shrugged. "I know you're right, but I kind of wish you had told me."
"Who's to say you would have believed me?"
She nodded. "Growing up sucks!"
"Don't I know it! But you're lucky, you have two parents that love you very much, and you have me who are all going to help you to get through everything just fine."
She smiled. "So I think I know what I want to do when I'm done high school."
"Really?" I was very excited to hear the Reggie actually had some ambition in life.
"I think I want to be a child psychologist."
I smiled. "I think you'd be really good at that!"
"I'm glad someone thinks so, my mom thought I was being silly."
"If that's really what you want to do never let anyone stop you."
"So how are things going with your roommate's cousin?"
"Not well, he seems to have made himself quiet at home."
"That sucks!"
"Big time! I have a funny feeling Mason will be kicking him out soon, if he hasn't already done it."
"I want to move out of my house."
I shook my head. "It's your choice, but my advice is to stay with your parents as long as possible, you don't realize how much you have until it's gone."
"I know, but this is crazy."
"Well eventually your father will find a place, and when you need to get away from one of them, you can just go to the other's house."
"I never thought of that!"
"I mean for you to be in college that'll probably be one of the best things for you. When one place gets too loud, you can go to another. You can get away from whatever is stressing you, and you don't have to pay anything but tuition."
"That's true."
We talked for a little while longer, before I decided to go home to see what had happened with Colvin. When I walked in I was surprised to see that living room was clean. On the kitchen table there were candles, and two place settings facing one another. Mason came out of the kitchen, grinning. He was dressed all in black. I smiled at him.
"He's gone," he told me. "And Daisy is out of the evening, she has a date, which leave the house to us until at least midnight." He picked up the two plates, and went into the kitchen, and came back in with some very delicious looking pasta, chicken and vegetable creation on each other plates.
"Mason, you are right out of a romance novel sometimes, you know that?" He laughed. "Sit, let's eat."
We ate, in silence, although how he had gotten rid of Colvin, but the food was so good I didn't want to talk. We finished up, and he cleared the table, I put on the radio, and he sat down next to me, and put his arm around me.
"So how did you get rid of Colvin?" I asked.
Mason smiled. "It was pretty easy, I told him that having him around was getting me all hot and bothered, and it freaked him out, and he found a new place to squat within an hour."
I laughed. "You're terrible, you know that?"
"As long as you don't believe the lie, then I'm happy."
"Of course not, and if you were then we've been living a lie a very long time." I kissed him lightly.
"True. It's nice to have the place all to ourselves for a change."
"Yeah." I kissed him again, but he pulled away.
"Before we get to carried away, I heard this song today, and I want us to dance to it."
I smiled at him, with the CD player remote control in his hands, took me in his arms, hit play and then tossed the remote onto the couch. I laughed, and we started dancing to the song.
Then a beautiful song came on the radio
a name like a whisper in the wind
a game you cannot win, my strategy is in you
in sleep there's a place where we can hide
from all the time we've tried
we're left senseless and alone
stand absorbed within this crowded room
my thoughts will be with you
to speak
a lack of words won't go
unheard like a cold wind over a ghost town
it's the feeling not the sound
and the cause become the case and he hope to find a place with you
stand absorbed within this crowded room
but this crowded room just insn't crowded anymore
and we look around and we're the only two in here
so many things floating thru our minds
the smile forms across your face
for a moment i found a place that i don't want to leave
but i wake from that dream, back into this world
for a lack of better words, your silence is intriguing my mind
It was a really beautiful song, and when it was over we just stood in each other's arms for a moment. I smiled at him, and he took my hand, and we sat back down on the couch, there were some other, slightly heavier songs on the CD, but I didn't pay much attention to them, and he had turned down the volume.
"Where did you find that song?"
"I was looking for something else when I was making this mix, and I listened to it and I liked it, and for some reason it made me think of you. As soon as I heard it I knew that I wanted to dance with you to it."
"As much as I like this romantic stuff, there are some other things I would like to be doing."
He took my hand and led me upstairs. "As you wish, milady."

I opened the door, and Rube walked right in, and over to the coffee maker. This has been going on for just over a week now. He doesn't see the point of us all meeting at Der Waffle Haus when his whole team is here anyway. I swear they're probably wondering where the fuck we all are!

I laughed. "You're terrible, you know that?"
"As long as you don't believe the lie, then I'm happy."
"Of course not, and if you were then we've been living a lie a very long time." I kissed him lightly.
"True. It's nice to have the place all to ourselves for a change."
"Yeah." I kissed him again, but he pulled away.
"Before we get to carried away, I heard this song today, and I want us to dance to it."
I smiled at him, with the CD player remote control in his hands, took me in his arms, hit play and then tossed the remote onto the couch. I laughed, and we started dancing to the song.
Then a beautiful song came on the radio
a name like a whisper in the wind
a game you cannot win, my strategy is in you
in sleep there's a place where we can hide
from all the time we've tried
we're left senseless and alone
stand absorbed within this crowded room
my thoughts will be with you
to speak
a lack of words won't go
unheard like a cold wind over a ghost town
it's the feeling not the sound
and the cause become the case and he hope to find a place with you
stand absorbed within this crowded room
but this crowded room just insn't crowded anymore
and we look around and we're the only two in here
so many things floating thru our minds
the smile forms across your face
for a moment i found a place that i don't want to leave
but i wake from that dream, back into this world
for a lack of better words, your silence is intriguing my mind
It was a really beautiful song, and when it was over we just stood in each other's arms for a moment. I smiled at him, and he took my hand, and we sat back down on the couch, there were some other, slightly heavier songs on the CD, but I didn't pay much attention to them, and he had turned down the volume.
"Where did you find that song?"
"I was looking for something else when I was making this mix, and I listened to it and I liked it, and for some reason it made me think of you. As soon as I heard it I knew that I wanted to dance with you to it."
"As much as I like this romantic stuff, there are some other things I would like to be doing."
He took my hand and led me upstairs. "As you wish, milady."
