Tell Me About Her
"Roger, tell me about her." Alexandra asked him as she lay on her stomach on Roger's bed.
"Why do you want to hear about Mimi?" Roger answered as he shifted uncomfortably to get off of the bed.
"C'mon, Baby. She brought you back to life. I want to hear about he woman responsible for you falling in love with me." she told him following him to the window.
"There's nothing to tell really. She came up here one night. I was getting over a really rough year and took me out of the loft and got me into the real world." Roger answered as Alexandra wrapped her arms around his waist.
"After your withdrawal right?" she wondered as she rested her chin on his back.
"Yeah. I didn't want to leave, but she had a really good argument. You know about how each day could be my last and stuff, so I got out of the loft and started living my life." he told her putting his arm up to invite her closer to him as they stood in the window.
"Why didn't you retreat back into the loft when she died?" Alexandra asked as she made her way in front of Roger looking up at him.
"I don't know. I guess the fact that all she ever wanted was to bring me back to life factors into it. Also being in the band didn't give me much time to waste away in here. I had bills to pay and gigs to play, so I just kept on going with my life. Not that it was easy for me to lose Mimi, I just chose to go on with my life the way she would have wanted me to. The way she told me she wanted me to. Loving and losing Mimi made it possible to open myself up to loving you." Roger told her as he leaned down to kiss her.
"I know Baby. That's why I wanted to hear about her. I owe her so much and I have never even met her." she answered him as she caressed his chest as she nuzzled in tight.
"I never thought I'd fall in love again after Mimi. You took me completely by surprise, you know." Roger told her as he held her tightly in his arms.
"I know, Roger. I know." Alexandra replied as she enjoyed his safe embrace.
