Q and I enter the house and see Michelle sitting there with some guy. I guess her acting meeting went well…very well.
Michelle: Oh hey…Alida *extra surprised* and Q! This is Tamati from my acting group.
Alida: Hi Tamati
Quincy: …nice to meet you
Tamati: Nice to meet you all too.
Michelle gives me a look and I quickly take the hint…
Alida: Q…let me show you my bedroom.
I lead Q to the back to give Michelle and Tamati some privacy.
Q and I sit on my bed.
Alida: Looks like we might have interrupted something. Sorry that we’re confined to my trashy bedroom.
Quincy: I don’t see anything wrong with your bedroom. At least the bed is bouncy…*leans over for a kiss*
He has a point. I kiss him back.
Meanwhile…
Q has one thing in mind…but the baby has another. I lean back…
Alida: Michelle made cookies…I want cookies.
Quincy: Cookies? *tries to get another kiss* But I was just about to give you –
Alida: *insists* The baby wants cookies…
Quincy: Okay…let’s go get cookies.
Q and I re-enter the living room where Michelle and Tamati are still talking.
We grab plates of Michelle’s freshly baked cookies…hoping that we’re not interrupting too much.
Apparently, we are…
Tamati: Maybe there’s someplace we can speak in private…
Michelle: Yeah…let’s go out back
Outside…
Tamati: Maybe this is bad timing, but I’d really like to take you out.
Michelle: I’d like that. It’s not bad timing at all. But I have an audition today…maybe we can go out tomorrow?
Tamati: I have a commercial that I’m directing in the morning, but I can try to wrap it up quick. So…I guess tomorrow it is.
Within the hour, Tamati leaves, then Michelle leaves for her audition. Q leaves as well saying that he has a photography job that he needs to finish up.
It’s all well and good because now that my belly is finally full from eating all day…all I want to do is get some sleep – which is exactly what I do.
