What About Us Last Request

-So Jerry. Only for reassurance I gotta ask, what did I break or throw at night? Jane got a good sleep?

-Well she was fine. But I am really going to miss all the wine that you spilled across the bed. Those were not regular you know.

-Okay. I am not arguing on this one. But I don't remember anything.

-(Sighs)...I was done cleaning up when you got my attention. A stunning woman soaked in alcohol. In freaking WINE!!

-...Thanks; I guess?

-Um no!

-Excuse me??

-Not yet; I changed the bedcover, also threw away the bottles of perfectly fine wine that you wasted.

-I am really..

-You may not have noticed but you're wearing different clothes,- Now that's something you immediately investigate after hearing about it. I was being too much comfortable with him to notice anything significant about the surroundings.

-Yeah...I see. Nice stocking and I am loving the coat. Always a fan of longline. They are so similar to mine.

-Well the skirt isn't. Cause yours, dark brown one was in the ground by the time I placed new bed sheets. Then it was a real pain to get you to sleep.

-...,- I was aware of my drunk self from my past experiences. But I think this time I took it too far.

-I will just have a hard time explaining these scratches to Layla. You tore through my shirt. Wouldn't want to be on your bad side if situation calls.

-...Jerry.

-It's okay, don't take this seriously.

-...

-So, I went ahead and inquired about your parkour kid at the clinic.

-Hmm. What's his situation?

-Good. Doc told me that she tried contacting you afterwards but couldn't get to you.

-Geez; and you're trying to leave Jane with me. (Sighs)I am slipping.

-No, you were slipped cause of all those alcohol.

-If you say so. Alright I need to get to the clinic. Let's meet up with Layla and Jane for now.

-Alright. They should be..

-I see them. There, over the bus stop.

-Alright sweetie. Bye now.

-Come home soon. Tonight you'll cook and I am going to help!

-I will try Jane. But it's so much work today. You know right? Police don't get to have holidays?

-Yes...Alright then, get those bad guys Sel.

-Yes Ma'am!- If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you. It would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions. Seeing her smiling face, I felt satisfied with me being me, not the other girl; asking questions I don't have answers to.


-...

-Hey! Chin up Layla. I am not stealing your man. Listen, you are a fine young woman; and beautiful in all senses. Your life is sorted out whereas mine is still broken, if you haven't noticed that already.

-I noticed that. That's why I am being careful here with you.
