"You will remove your hand from ass this very instant, Kevin!"
You'd think that any sane person wouldn't mind having his hand on your ass, but we are talking about me here, and he is one of my friends and he is very married, so technically this is not an earth shattering moment for anyone involved.
"Geez Amy, didn't think you were going to bite my head off this early in the morning. Haven't seen you since last month and this is the kind of welcome I get? Not even a friendly pop on the ass can get you out of that crappy mood? Fine, I'll just settle for a hug and be on my way."
And the guilt trip starts.
"You haven't had your coffee yet, right? Because if you're this cranky and you've had your coffee, I get the feeling I'm not the only one going to be missing a body part today."
Guh.
He just had to give me a guilt trip.I'm in no mood to be given one today.I think my head is going to explode I have so much to do today.
But, I guess a hug wouldn't be too bad.I'm not totally crazy. I just could use one after over-sleeping my alarm and barely making it in time to get my morning jumpstart of caffeine.
"Sorry, Kev. It's just one of those mornings- and yes, I HAVE had my coffee, thankyouverymuch."
"Alright, I'll just see you at the meeting then, okay?"
Crap.The meeting.The one I scheduled. Maybe I need another cup of coffee.
"Yeah, right....the meeting..I'll be right there, just give me a mintue. See ya."
"Bye, Amy"
Thank God he left right after my momentary memory lapse and bitch attack. I have been working too much.
I really wish I could just get away for a week or something. Not that I hate my job or anything, it's just being a production assitant to the Backstreet Boys isn't always what I cracked it up to be.
I can't be believe I've had this job for six months and already I'm praying for retirement-or at least a break.
I'm lucky I even have this job in the first place. Not every 24 yr old newbie gets such a good one. Thank goodness for the person before me getting a promotion and Kevin giving me a good recommedation. I needed it after my old job down sized.
Not that I ride on his coattails or anything mind you, it's just that you save someone's wedding form leaking to the press and they owe you something. Am I right?
Okay. I'm good.
I've got the papers...check.
Got my itinerary...check.
I've got my.....*ooopmf*
Great, there goes all my work on the floor along with my precious caffiene.
"What the...?!"
"A.J?! Why didn't you look before you walking into the door? You're running late again I see."
"Sorry Amy, trying to beat you there. Here, let me help you get that."
*smack*
"Ow, you trying to take me out or something Jay?"
This morning just keeps getting better and better every second. Can' t wait to see what happens next. Maybe I'll trip on the carpet, or better yet, rip my pants.
"God Amy, I'm really sorry. Why don't I pay for some more coffee or something since I already knocked into you twice and spilled it. I know how much that stuff means to you."
Oh no. I'm not walking into that one. I'm not going to be suckered into a conversation while I'm already running late to the meeting.
"Come on Ames, you know you want to. I'll even throw in a muffin or whatever you eat with coffee."
Could I throw it AT you? I'm late damnit.
"A.J, I'm running late to MY OWN meeting, can we just forget all this and go?"
Woo-hoo.Go me. Avoided that one.Now I'm walking to the ....
"So thats a yes then?
NO. And I'm not falling for that little smirk I bet he has.
"No, A.J. That was a changing of the subject, which I thought you would of caught as a no."
Turning back around and, damnit, he has that smirk.
"Come on Amy, you know you want to.You're not still bitter about us being late last time, are you?
Now I remember why I avoid him. His stunning abilities in the procrastination category. He just made this so much easier.
"A.J. Meeting. Now. No avoiding it.No muffin -and before you say it- it's still a no."
"Fine, have it your way."
Alright. He's walking into the meeting room. Now a long as he doesn't turn back around and keep talking, I'm good.
We're to the door, I'm so close......YES! I've made it in with out one more disaster or distraction.
"Sorry I'm late everyone, I was detained. Now why this meeting was called is just to clarify what will be happening the next couple of weeks leading up to the launch of the tour in Orlando. Here's the new schedules that include your times for photo shoots for the tour posters, hotel names of the ones you'll be staying at the first ten shows and times of other interviews and meetings between clean-up rehearsals. Got it? I'll give you a mintue to review while I go get Paul to give you the rest of the info.Okay?Great"
Thank god my boss Paul was going to be doing the rest of the meeting. I just really needed to get away from everyone and work on my own personl schedule that would revolve around the boys.
Knock Knock Knock.
"I'll get the door, it's probably just Paul."
Whew. It's Paul and I'm saved.
"Tough morning, Amy?"
Screaming a "hell yes" proabably wouldn't be appropriate right now, would it?....
"You could say that.I just gave the boys their schedules and they are waiting for you to continue. Is there anything else you wanted me to do before I go home and finish my packing and work?"
Please please please say no.
"No, you can go on ahead. I'll take it from here. Go on and have a nice day."
FREEDOM!
"Thanks Paul"
*rrriiipppp*
Oh no.
Please god, don't let that be my pants.
Please please don't tell me I just ripped my pants on the door handle.
Yep.
Only I could manage to rip my pants on a door handle, only me.
I was so close to freedom.
"Uh, Ames? You might wanna pull your shirt down a little before you leave."
Really? You think so Brian?
"Thanks, Brian. Don't know what I would've done without your help."
I think it's time for me to go crawl into to bed and not wake up until the tour starts.
Sounds good.
*slam*
"Did she not have her coffee today yet, Kev?"
"Well, Brian, so far she has only had one cup. So I'd say she's one more away form being mary-sunshine"
"That explains it..."
