This is the third morning I am waking up with a hangover. At this rate I might as well not stop drinking. I can’t remember coming home though. This is my bed, this is my clothes. Where is Sammy?
I head downstairs where I find Sammy and Eric.
Becca ~”Hey Sammy.”
Sammy ~”Hey babe. Remember Eric?”
Becca ~”Hey Eric.”
Eric ~”Hey Becca.”
Becca ~”How did we get home? I can’t remember driving?”
Eric ~”I gave you girls a ride home. Your car is still at the club.”
Becca ~”I was not that drunk?”
Sammy ~”Babe the had to go fetch more champagne from storage.”
We both burst out laughing. We had so much fun and it without boys. I did not even think about him much at all.
Sammy ~”Did you read your messages?”
Becca ~”No. Don’t tell me that asshole phoned.”
Sammy ~”No it’s from dads. They want us to choose the company name.”
Becca ~”They say it should not be something outrages.”
Sammy ~”I am so excited. What do you think?”
Eric ~”You girls starting your own company?”
Sammy ~”No we taking over dads.”
Becca ~”They bringing it to the city.”
Sammy ~”We becoming CEOs.”
Becca ~”Miss CEO. We have a shift tonight, we must get ready to go and fetch my car.”
We both head upstairs leaving Eric to make a pot of coffee.
Becca ~”So is this going to get serious?”
Sammy ~”No. I made sure he understands that it is sex only.”
Becca ~”We going to Dynasti in day light, I hope we do not bump into him.”
Sammy ~”His ass. He is the one that fucked up!”
Becca ~”Come Miss Ellis lets go.”
We back on the way to pick up my car from Dynasti. I am nervous, I should not be but I am. I still have not processed this all, breaking up and running a company. I need a drink.
Eric ~”You girls coming in?”
Sammy ~”Yes we have a few hours to kill before work.”
Eric ~”Why you working at Spangles if you going to run a company?”
Becca ~”Long story, something to do with a stupid plan, one too many stupid plans.”
Eric ~”Sammy said you also have an ex as of three days ago?”
Becca ~”Just some fucked up potato head.”
Eric ~”Do you call everyone a potato head?”
Becca ~”Urgh! No! Only if you deserve it.”
Sammy ~”Come let’s go inside. We can have a couple drinks while choosing a name for the company.”
We sit down and order some drinks and something to eat. Sammy pulls out a pen and paper and start to write. The pen does not work. She heads up to the bar to ask for a pen to borrow and brings along our wine.
Sammy ~”So what do you think?”
Becca ~”If we do Ellis & James we sound like lawyers.”
Sammy ~”What about Johno & Josh?”
Becca ~”Do you want me to punch you! And by the way it is your round.”
Sammy ~”Shit.”
I get up to the bar to get Sammy’s punishment shooters.
Eric ~”So early?”
Becca ~”Sammy’s fault.”
Eric ~”Come up with that name yet?”
Becca ~”No but at this rate Sammy is making me drunk before work!”
Eric ~”What about surnames?”
Becca ~”Tried not going to work.”
Eric ~”Names?”
Becca ~”Too creepy. Sammy even tried the exes that is why she is drinking this.”
I leave the bar and turn to our table. I still hear Eric speak but I continue on.
….. At the bar…..
Josh ~”What are those two up to?”
Eric ~”Having wine and lunch while deciding on a company name.”
Josh ~”What company?”
Eric ~”They are taking over their dads company.”
Josh ~”I thought it was out in town?”
Eric ~”No it’s moving to the city. I thought you don’t know them?”
Josh ~”I don’t.”
Eric ~”Do you know she calls you potato head?”
Josh ~”Potato head? Says she that is a pumpkin.”
Eric ~”I will look after them.”
Josh ~”And Eric.”
Eric ~”Yes boss.”
Josh ~”Ask her what happened to the last guy that only wanted her for her money.”
….. Sammy & Becca….
Sammy ~”Becca you have not spoken about him.”
Becca ~”And I not going to either.”
Sammy ~”You must.”
Becca ~”No I am not.”
Sammy ~”You can’t leave it.”
Becca ~”I can. He did.”
Sammy ~”He was cross.”
Becca ~”No I don’t care.”
Sammy ~”Phone him.”
Becca ~”No not happening.”
Sammy ~”Text him.”
Becca ~”No he told me to leave him alone. Take some of your own advice too.”
Sammy ~”I am not talking about it.”
Becca ~”Why not?”
Sammy ~”I don’t have to.”
Becca ~”You have to.”
Sammy ~”We are different.”
Becca ~”How?”
Sammy ~”Mine was an asshole that just wanted my money.”
Becca ~”And mine was an asshole too.”
And with that your asshole crosses the room and heads for an office.
Becca ~”Fuck he looks good!”
Sammy ~”Shit when did he clean that sweet ass up.”
Becca ~”Sammy!”
Sammy ~”Go talk to him.”
Becca ~”No we are done. In any case he did not clean-up for me. He has moved on.”
It’s almost time for our shift, I look at Sammy.
Becca ~”Do you want to stay here? I will send Mike a message that something has come up.”
Sammy ~”Are you staying for the hot asshole? Or you don’t want to wait on people tonight?”
Becca ~”None. Dads are here in two days, we need to get this name right.”
Sammy ~”If that is what you call watching Josh then that is what we doing.”
Becca ~”Your round.”
Sammy ~”Shit.”
It looks like we are spending our day at Dynasti. Seeing him has taken my desire to be somewhere else away. I am just breaking my own heart. I know there is no future for us. It just comforts me to know he is near. I would give anything to feel his warm breath on my skin now. If I have only met him now, now when I am starting to be grown up.
