Thanks for the reviews...and now the Bohemians. enjoy. : )
"Zoom in on my six Bohemian friends. We have just returned from the Life Café and are bored out of our minds…"
"We're not drunk yet either." Roger added as Mark panned his camera over the faces of his friends. Roger was on the couch with Mimi in his arms. Collins was in the chair Angel resting in his lap. Maureen sat perched on the table and Joanne stood awkwardly next to her.
"Now," Mark continued putting down his camera. "How do we cure this boredom?"
""With Stoli," Collins answered maneuvering around Angel to pull a bottle from his pocket.
"That's a start," Angel chimed in grabbing the bottle and taking a sip.
"I know!" Maureen shouted "Let's play a game!"
"Like what?" Roger asked.
"Mousetrap!" Angel blurted out.
"Mousetrap? Baby I think you better layoff the Stoli for a while." Collins said seizing the bottle from her hand.
"Yeah Ang." Mimi said. "Maybe we should play a 'grown up' game."
"Mark don't you have Trivial Pursuit somewhere?"
"I'll check."
Mark returned a few minutes later. "No Joanne I don't, but I have charades."
"Oh Yeah!" Maureen shrieked jumping excitedly. "Let's pick teams."
"There are only seven of us that's unfair to one team." Joanne pointed out.
"Damn Benny. If we had him things would be fair." Mimi said pouting. Roger shot her a look.
"We haven't had Benny for 10 years." Angel reminded her."
"Oh yeah. Fine let's do this: me, Roger, Angel, and Collins, against Maureen, Joanne, Mark, and the camera."
"Hey no fair!" Maureen yelled.
"Yeah my camera can't play!"
"Don't worry about it Angel sucks at this anyway." Collins reassured them. "Sorry darling." He added kissing her.
"I'm not that bad!"
"Fine the teams stay," Mark said giving in.
With the teams chosen the game could begin. Angel's team went first.
"Angel you're up sweetie." Mimi said
"Alright," Angel picked a card. "Oh crap…..ummmm ok guys I'm ready." Mark flipped the timer. Angel stood there in her teal, pink, and yellow, skirt complete with zebra tights, an orange cami, and black Mary-Jane platforms. Her legs where together and her arms were up like pitchforks.
"What the hell is that?" Roger asked tilting his head to one side.
"Angel do something else," Mimi begged.
"Damn babe I dunno," Collins added.
"Time!" Maureen called. "Wow Angel you do suck at this!"
"Maureen," Joanne warned.
"Angel what the hell where you?" Collins asked.
"A castle! A freakin' castle!" She shrieked looking irritated. "You Thomas Collins should have known."
"Sorry."
"My turn!" Maureen exclaimed jumping up. She chose her card. "Awww this is easy!"
Time began and Maureen stuck her arms in the air revealing her stomach. Then she began to dance provocatively in her short, shorts.
"A stripper!" Mark yelled.
"That's one point for us! Wow pookie you're good!"
"Gee Mark, I didn't know you've seen a stripper before," Roger joked. Mimi slapped him on the arm. The others laughed.
"Shut up!" Mark snapped.
"I could've done that," Angel sulked.
"I know," Collins responded kissing her affectionately.
"Guys please we're playing a game!" Mark begged.
"Who's next?" Mimi asked.
"Me I guess," Joanne answered.
Joanne who had just sat down got up and picked a card. "Ready Jo?" Angel asked. She nodded. "GO!"
Joanne bounced back and forth punching widely at the air.
"A boxer!" Maureen yelled.
"Yep! You're up Mark."
Mark reluctantly rose and picked a card. "I don't know how to do this."
"Too bad Mark you have to." Mimi said.
"Fine! Go!"
Mark began to run around the loft with his arms failing in every direction, stamping his feet on the floor as he moved. Mimi fell over in laughter as did Roger who almost fell on to her. Angel and Collins began to cry from their laughter and could barely breathe. Maureen and Joanne looked mortified.
"Mark what the hell!" Maureen screeched.
Joanne tried to guess. "King Kong…..Big Foot…..The Abominable Snowman."
"Time!" Angel gasped.
"Mark what WAS that?" Roger asked regaining his composure.
"I don't want to say."
"You have to."
"An elleefphmanrant ." Mark mumbled.
"What?" Mimi asked.
"An elephant!" Mark bellowed.
The other six looked at each other and then burst out into laughter." An elephant!" Maureen gasped.
"Guys stop it……Quit it…….It wasn't funny!"
"Yes it was," Collins said collecting himself. "And we thought Angel sucked!"
"Collins I do not suck at this!"
"Whatever you say Mark. I'm next." Collins stood and picked a card. "You guys ready?"
"Yes!" his team chimed.
"GO!" Joanne said flipping the timer. Collins began to walk, no strut, one foot in front of the other, hands on his hips.
"John Travolta!" Angel screamed. Collins stopped and everyone looked at her. "You know from that seventies movie."
"No Angel not John Travolta," Collins said shaking his head. Collins started again.
"A model!" Angel guessed again.
"You've redeemed yourself!" Collins cheered. "One point please."
"I want Roger to go," Mimi said volunteering him.
"Okay go ahead Roger," Angel said. Roger read his word and Maureen flipped the timer. Roger began to run in slow motion.
"David Hasselhoff!"
"No! Angel he's a lifeguard." Mimi told her best friend.
"Mimi's right." Roger said returning to his seat.
"I was close," Angel pouted.
"No you weren't," Mark said.
"Yes she was, David Hasselhoff was on Baywatch!" Maureen told Mark as if everyone in the world knew but him.
"Mimi you're next and if we guess correctly we totally WIN!" Angel said stressing the last word.
"No you don't!" Maureen yelled angrily.
"Yes we do I'm the tie breaker," Mimi said standing up and walking to the center of the room. She picked a card.
"Ready….Go!" Joanne said flipping the timer.
Mimi began to move with very stiff, sharp movements.
"A robot!" Collins screamed.
"WE WIN!" Mimi screeched.
Angel, Collins, Mimi, and Roger began to jump up and down scream (well Roger was pretending to be overly excited to please Mimi). Mark and Joanne didn't care, but Maureen's face left much to be desired.
"You don't have to rub it in our faces," she bellowed.
"Sorry Mo," Mimi apologized. "We could have a celebratory make out session so you and Joanne can participate."
"Okay!"
"What about me?" Mark asked.
"No one cares about you pookie."
"She's kidding," Joanne said covering for her girlfriend.
The three groups of lovers began to kiss. Mark decided to fiddle with his camera. Five minutes later he started filming his friends again, because there was nothing else for him to do. Suddenly he heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Mark said getting up and crossing over to the door. "No, no you guys stay there. Don't move guys you could pull a muscle. Really I'll get it."
"Mark shut up and open the damn door," Roger said pulling away from Mimi.
"Mark pulled the sliding door aside. "Who the hell are you?"
