Too Much

Mimi sat on her bed waiting for Roger. The door opened and she smiled as Roger came into the room and sat on the bed.

He put his hands instantly around her waist. She did feel much thinner. All the bones in her body were visible. He hadn't noticed that when she came through the window.

"Baby, are you feeling okay?" Roger asked.

"Of course babe," she said, sounding unconvincing.

"Your still taking your AZT right?" he asked sounding scared.

"Of course," she said laughing. "It's just. Well."

"What?" he said. "Tell me."

"Oh Rog," she sighed. "I wanted to wait, but I guess I should just tell you now." She took his big hands in her small ones. "The doctors said my HIV has gotten worse. This may be my last Christmas."

"Mimi," he gasped. "No. You can't leave me again. Not now." He turned and pulled Mimi into a hug. "Please Mimi you can't go."

"Roger, baby," she cooed. "Calm down, I am right here. It's okay. Just promise me one thing." Roger nodded. "Enjoy the holidays and don't tell anyone about what I told you yet. I want the holidays to be merry not sad."

"Mimi," he whispered. "I love you."

"I love you too," she said.

Mark was sitting at the table again, working on a film, when someone knocked on the door.

"Who's there?" he asked.

"It's me," said a sweet voice on the other end. Mark stood up and opened the door to his x-girlfriend Maureen. She was a wreck. Her mascara was running she was wearing a big t-shirt and sweatpants. She immediately embraced Mark in a hug.

Mark sat her down and got her some coffee from the pot.

"Sorry," he said. "It's cold."

"She left," Maureen said. "Joanne told me to get out. She said she was thorough with my games. I told her I would change. She said get out for good. I begged her to take me back."

"I'm sorry," said Mark, who was clearly delighted to hear that he broke up with Joanne, the woman Maureen left him for.

"I know what it feels like to be dumped," she sobbed. "Again! This is the second time Joanne kicked me out. A couple nights after my show she kicked me out, too. She took me back later and now here I am. Mark, do you hate me?"

"What?" he asked.

"Do you hate me for dumping you on your ass for a girl?" she asked.

"No Maureen," he said. "I don't hate you."

Maureen stood up and went to sit on Mark's lap. She leaned down and kissed him.

"Oh hell no! This is just too much for one day and is not even cocktail hour," Mark thought.
