Part 7
Interruption
I inhaled her scent and knew she was still my Josephine. She pulled back and
looked ready to cry. "I didn't read it." I told her.
"Why not?" she asked, shaking her head to push back the tears.
"Well, I had a pretty good idea of what it said, and I wanted to hear it from
you, so that I could explain."
She started to mull this over, and held my hands softly as she did so. I closed
my eyes to wait for he response. Suddenly, she wasn't holding my hands anymore.
My eyes flew open, and I saw Jo smiling broadly - and fakely - at some guy.
"Josephine! Darling! You were fabulous!" the guy said extravagantly.
"Thank you Geoff! You know I'll miss it!" she even sounded fake. I shook my head
in amazement.
"Is it true you're leaving us for the flat old movies? Say it isn't so!" What
was with this guy?
"I'm afraid it is." she said, then indicated me. "Geoff, this is an old friend
of mine. He's the director of the movie." She then looked at me and smiled. A
genuine smile, calming the storm within my brain. "Ummm...this is Geoff Adams,
the director of the show you just saw." she said without acctually introducing
me.
"Pacey Witter." I said to the guy, looking at Joey, confused. Why hadn't she
introduced me? She'd given herself plenty of oppurtunity to.
Geoff looked me up and down like a piece of meat, and I understood his attitude.
"That is a fine hunk of man Josephine! Care to share?"
I looked away - she didn't know how right he was. I was hers - and had been for
years.
"No." she said simply. "Give me a shout if a good script comes your way though -
I don't plan on completely abandonning the theater - yet."
"All right then! Oh! There's Jennifer, I assume you're on your way out?" he
asked, and Joey nodded. "Ta then!" and he was gone as quickly as he'd appeared.
"I don't want to hear it." she said abruptly to me, and I knew she thought I had
a smart comment about two Joey's - which I did, but kept to myself.
Jen appeared then and Joey grabbed her - hissing something in her ear, then
indicating me to follow.
