"AJ!" I exclaimed. Since I was dumped my fiancé, I had been living with him, unable to go home.
"Brian, get a life." He replied annoyed.
"I have a life. Thank You very much. I am a song writer, I am a performer, I am a musician." I argued.
"Yeah so am I, but I am not bugging you every second of my free time am I?" He asked.
"I just wanted to know what you wanted me to make for dinner?" I asked a little offended.
"Whatever. Tell me when its done and we will discuss Saturday." He said.
"What is on Saturday?" I asked confused.
"At dinner Bri, I am busy." He said as he began to write again.
I made breakfast for dinner our of sheer desire for eggs. AJ smelt the aroma of the cooked hush puppies and joined me downstairs right as it was finished. We gobbled up the food as if we never eaten before. But what he said earlier still lurked on my mind.
"So what is happening Saturday?" I asked.
"Oh that. Maya and her friend, Kimberly are going dancing. We are going with them. Kimmy is the girl that I helped arrange to fuck you." He explained.
I was a little appalled at his terminology but it was AJ, what was I expecting? I did need to get some though, I couldn't get Leigh, my ex fiancé out of my head. And when I could I was so afraid of being lonely forever. I had been in so many good relationships but they all failed. Was it me?
"Thanks." I finally replied to AJ. I let my mind drift a bit again. But he soon brought me back to reality.
"Maya and I are thinking about moving in." He suddenly commented.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah…but there is Kim to think of, Maya is afraid she will kill herself by malnutrition or some shit." AJ explained.
"Why? Does she have an eating disorder?" I asked curious about her anyway.
"No, Maya says she is too busy to eat. Whatever that means." AJ commented.
"How long have you and Maya been dating?" I asked.
"About a year…" He replied.
"And you don't know her best friend?" I asked astonished.
"She is never home and when she is, she is studying." He explained. That made the 'she is too busy to eat.' Comment make more since.
"I am going to get back to the studio." I announced. A great song idea burst into my head and I had to work with it. My career was the love of my life right now, it was also all I had left.
I wasn't the type to not count my blessings, for I knew I was blessed. I just wanted something I know I didn't have. I wasn't the type to also think 'Man, I need woman about now…' but maybe that was the problem. I felt like I needed sex so why not? I saw a picture of the Kimberly chick and she was pretty hot. So what did I have to lose? Nothing and what did I have to gain? Who knows?
