New York City Dec-11
6am
Miranda slapped the alarm clock when it started going off nice and loud.Softly cursing in Spanish Miranda got up and out of her nice warm bed and braved the freezing cold December morning.But worse than the cold was the fact that she was out of her bed at this god awful early hour getting herself ready for work. Unfortunately due to a very strong flu bug that was going around at work which had knocked out so many of her coworkers Miranda found herself being forced by her boss into working the morning shift at the diner.From the looks of it she was going to be stuck there for a few weeks at that shift,until everyone started feeling better.This was starting to take it's toll on Miranda for she was most seriously not a morning person and was in one very pissed off mood.But as the old saying goes she needed her job and she needed the money more.So that was why she was dressed in her tacky green and white colored waitress outfit and standing in front of her bathroom mirror brushing her long dark hair at six am.
After checking herself one last time in the mirror Miranda walked into the living room area of her small apartment and sat down on the sofa and used the remote to turn on her small TV.After making sure the volume was set loud enough to hear but not loud enough to wake up her four year old daughter Amanda in the back bedroom Miranda started to wait for the upcoming morning news to come on the TV.She didn't really want to watch anything that was on but she was needing to know what the weather was going to be like today and tonight before she headed into work at the diner.
"Good morning Tom!"the anchorwoman on the TV said in a way to chipper voice as she turned to look at her counterpart sitting next to her at the desk.
"And a very good morning to you to Cynthia!"the even more nauseatingly chipper anchorman said as he flashed a million watt white toothed smile toward his co-host and than to the camera.
"He probably spends more than I make in a year getting those teeth of his that white."Miranda muttered as she took a sip out of her coffee cup in an attempt to wake herself completely up and mentally yelling at the news anchors to just get to the damn weather!
Miranda sat there suffering for another fifteen minutes listening as the two anchors went on and on about the city council vote on raising the city property tax and than they started in on the up coming mayoral race.But when they skipped the early morning weather report to go to their 'own Channel Five in the sky' news chopper to report on a bad traffic jam on the Long Island Expressway a frustrated Miranda hit the mute button on the remote,got up cussing in Spanish again and headed into the kitchen to fill her coffee cup back up. As she walked back into the living room and sat back down on the sofa Miranda hit the mute button on the remote and almost dropped her coffee cup when she caught the next words that came out of the anchorman mouth.
"We go now to Channel Five own Gail Steven's as she interviews the famous independent movie producer David Gordon about his new movie The Love Triangle.Good morning Gail!"
"Morning Tom!"said Gail smiling as soon as the TV cut to her where she was sitting on a large sofa end seat.But Miranda paid her no mind because her heart began to race as the camera cut to the person sitting next to Gail on the other sofa chair. God he's still just as handsome as the last time I saw him back during college, thought Miranda as she watched Gordo being interviewed on the TV.Miranda turned the volume up a little more not wanting to miss anything that Gordo might say.
"Tom I'm here with Hollywood's newest up and coming independent movie producer and director David Gordon."said Gail as she turned to face Gordo"How are you this morning Mr.Gordon?"
"I'm fine Gail."said Gordo smiling"and please just call me David"
"Ok David it is than"Gail smiled at him"David your star has steadily been rising in Hollywood ever since you directed and released your smash hit movie Death At Dawn four years ago.Many people have started calling you the next Quentin Tarantino.How does that make you feel?"
"Well Gail"Gordo said smiling as he held out his hands in front of him"I don't know anything about my star rising but I sure have found that I don't have to look to far for work now a days.Which is nice when bill time comes around.But all I have to say about the comparison is that if people out there are comparing me to Quentin Tarantino than I'm extremlly flattered.If I only accomplish half of what he did in this business than I'll be more than satisfied."
As she sat and continued to watch the interview Miranda was shocked and amazed at how easy Gordo was handling it all.Gone was the short young boy with the wild mop of hair on top of his head.Gone was the shy young man who would stutter and get nervous whenever a pretty girl like Gail would talk to him.Miranda watched in amazement as Gordo dressed VERY fashionably with his hair slicked back in a nice hairstyle, brilliantly answered every question field to him by the female reporter. As she continued to watch the confident Gordo Miranda couldn't help but think that if it wouldn't for the fact that this was her Gordo,one of her two best buds growing up she would have started thinking that he was looking uhh well uhh oh the hell with it! Gordo was looking damn hot on her TV screen!
"So David" Gale the reporter said drawing Miranda out of her thoughts and back to the TV "Although your more widely known for your Death At Dawn action series it's your giant romantic comedy hit The Love Triangle that's the buzz of Hollywood these days."
"Yeah that one even surprised me at how well it's doing at the box office."said Gordo still smiling.
Miranda started smiling herself because she could tell that even though he might have been surprised Gordo was trying very hard to act humble.He was covering up the fact that he was very proud of his hard work and the success of his movie.She might not have seen him in over six years but Miranda could still read her best friends face like a book.And he should be proud Miranda also thought.Because she had broke down and went to see the movie last week and it was great.It was one of the few times in the last six years that Miranda had laughed and actually had a fun filled day.
"But now we're going to get to the bottom of the question that everyone in the world is asking right at this moment."the reporter said with a huge smile spreading across her face"Is there any truth to the rumors that you and pop singing star Lizzie McGuire are an item now?"
WHOA!?! I haven't heard about that, thought Miranda as she sat up straighter on the sofa now really paying attention. Just like Gordo, Miranda hadn't seen Lizzie in over six years and so her curiosity about her friends was running wild at the moment.
"Sorry Gail but there is no truth to any of those rumors."Gordo said laughing at the question and shaking his head.
"But you two are seen all over Hollywood with one another!"the reporter stated still pushing the subject"She even accompanied you to the Oscars ceremony last year."
"Well yes that is true.But you see Gail me,Lizzie and another girl were best friends and very close growing up back in California."Gordo explained"So you see Lizzie is only my best friend and like I said there is nothing going on with me and her right now but friendship."
Sitting back on the sofa with a little bit of a sigh Miranda was a little shocked at how hearing that made her feel better.
And why is that,Miranda thought to herself.You've always wanted your friends to be happy so why is the fact that Lizzie and Gordo not being a couple happy news to you?Alone in her thoughts Miranda was snapped back by the anchorman's question at the end of the interview when it was cut back to the anchor desk."So you had a famous pop star and a talented movie director growing up together,huh?"Tom the anchorman asked his co-anchor.
"That's was what Gail got from Mr.Gordon during the interview Tom."the co-anchorwoman smiled"He mentioned that there was another girl in their friendship.I wonder if she's famous now too just like Mr.Gordan and Ms. McGuire are?I wonder whatever became of her?"
"Nothing"Miranda said sadly as she turned off the TV and felt the tears starting to roll down her cheeks "Nothing ever become of me."
