�Where are you going?� �Taking Jay home. Later man.� Brian watched him walk away and into Jay�s limo. �Shannon?� �Yeah baby?� �May I speak to Resa?� �Of course, hold on.� He waited as Shannon called out for her. �Hello?� �Resa. I got some bad news.� �What?� �D is taking Jennifer home.� I dropped the phone and stared at the wall. �What is it?� Shannon asked. She glanced at me and quickly picked up her phone. �Bri?� �Yeah.� �What happened?� �D just left with Jennifer.� �Oh, damn. Brian, honey, come on home. I�m going to take Resa home.� �No, I�ll just�I don�t know, I don�t want to go home.� �You sure.� I glanced at her and nodded my head. �Can I borrow your car?� �Yeah.� She handed me the keys and I smiled my thanks. I walked out to her car and quickly got in. I banged on the drums, playing along with Metallica. I thought of the many words flowing through my brain, yet, not having the patience to write them down. I glanced at the girls as they each walked in and just looked at me. �What?� �Having fun?� I glanced down at my drum head and nodded. �Been playing for about four hours now. Yeah, I�m having fun,� I said, laughing. �You�ve killed the head,� Jennifer said. I glanced at her and busted out laughing. �I wish I could. It takes a little more than four hours of intense playing for me to kill the head.� She nodded her head, understanding the meaning. �So, how are you?� Terri asked. I looked at her and rolled my eyes. �I take it you weren�t at the club long enough to know that D left with J.Lo.� �What?� �Yeah.� �Oh good Lord,� she said, sitting down. �Whatever. I figured we should release �Bad Girls� as our next single?� �I thought we wanted something slow?� Jennifer asked. �Nah, don�t want slow.� �Anyone else?� �I think that�s a good song to release,� Megan said. �Me too,� Shannon agreed. �Yeah, let�s release,� Terri said, standing up again. �Okay, than we should practice it.� They looked at me and rolled their eyes. I laughed and waited as the girls got into position. I counted us off and sighed, happy. Two hours later, I heard someone clapping and my head snapped up and I locked eyes with Howie. �What the fuck do you want?� �Please ladies, you don�t have to leave. I just have to talk to Resa.� I got up from behind my drums and leaned against the wall. �I�m waiting.� �How does it feel?� �What do you mean?� �I�m well aware you went to the club with Hayden and that you and Jennifer went back to his hotel room and got quite drunk.� �So?� �And when were you going to tell me this?� �He�s just a friend. It didn�t mean anything.� �Last night, so all of you know I did not cheat on my girlfriend, I went to help a friend out in need. I never touched her, I don�t even like her in that way.� �Why didn�t you say that?� �Why should I?� �So, you let me think that you went and slept with her?� �I never gave you a reason to think that. Any of you.� �Well�.� �There is no well Resa. You thought that yourself. You have no one to blame, but yourself.� I crossed my arms over my chest and sighed. �You know I�m right. And you can blame Jennifer, she�s the one who told me.� �I�m sorry Resa. He made me.� I looked at her and nodded my head. �I�m sure he did.� �He did.� I smiled and shook my head. �I did. But, that�s not the point. Resa, I know you know a lot, but there�s things you still don�t know, especially about this business. I don�t want you to get a high head this soon in the game.� �You�re going to be the one to bring me down to Earth?� �I have so far, haven�t I?� �You could find a far better way.� �Stop pouting.� �But I like pouting.� I stuck my lip out farther and he smiled. �You�re so damn cute when you do that.� �I know I am.� He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss. �I�m sorry baby.� �Yeah yeah. I�m sorry too. I should have told ya what happened.� �Yes, you should have, but it�s okay. Anyways ladies, the song rocks.� We all busted out laughing and I jumped on D�s back. �Song is finished. We�re hungry and you�re taking us out.� I kissed his cheek as he groaned. �Good Lord woman! Are you trying to keep me from saving my money?� �You�re to fuckin� tight with it anyways.� We laughed once again as we went out to our awaiting limo. |
