Some Velvet Morning Page #7

- Kind of, yeah.

- I don't believe that. Sorry.

- That's romance novel bullshit.

- It doesn't matter, it's true.

And what about them? What about

the other guys?

Not that I care about second

place, but what happened to them?

Some of them fell for me like you

did, whether I felt that way or not.

We made a mess of things. That's how

it goes, you know that. It's a risk.

And then a couple of them were great.

We'd go to a hotel or a spot uptown...

and I'd take the train up or whatever, and

then I'd be back in class by nightfall...

$500 richer than I was that

morning.

It doesn't suck to only work two

or three hours a week.

You know, when you're in school.

See, I would use a different

choice of words.

And "suck", when you're describing

the situation, could be confusing.

Make fun of me if you want, but

I see it as work.

That's how I see it.

I think that you need to see it

a little differently next time.

- Really?

- Yeah.

So I can what, know that I should

be working in an Applebees?

Or stripping? Or strutting my

stuff at Hooters?

Is that what you think?

You use what you have, Fred, and

that's what I did.

Chris is good with computers,

and so he gets paid for that...

and you're an attorney and

that's your gift, you know...

and I have tits, and I'm not sorry

that I let men use me once in a while.

You can try and make me feel

guilty...

and tell me what I did was a bad thing,

but it wasn't. It wasn't for me.

And you may not like it or

understand it...

but I did what I had to do at

the time.

I still do from time to time.

- Anyway, I have to go, Fred.

- No, wait, wait!

No! What do you want! You're

just mean all the time!

I'm just asking what happens

now! It's a serious question!

- I've already said! - That's right,

you could pencil me in on Sunday.

- Gosh, how could I forget?

- You don't have to.

No, it's fine! Something to look

forward to.

- You're being an ass now, aren't you?

- Sorta, yeah.

- F*** it. Let's forget it then.

- And I thought it was all going so well.

- Fred, please...

- No, you're right. Okay, f***!

This is crazy. We're going around

in circles. I'm exhausted.

Here's what we do. You're gonna

go for your lunch thing, okay?

- And then you're gonna call me.

- I will.

- Fine. If you give me a kiss first.

- What?

You heard me. Come on, it's just

a kiss.

- I'm not sure that's true.

- Come on, just a little peck.

- I'm not sure that's such a good idea.

- Pretty please?

- Okay, you can give me a kiss on the cheek.

- F*** the cheek.

I want the whole... All right, look.

All right, we'll prorate it.

Okay, so $500. That's probably

what, like...

A kiss would be $75 all in?

- Don't say things like that.

- All right, I'm sorry.

But I'm serious. Just a

little...

I'll give you one for free if you

let me go straight afterwards.

Really? That's a deal. Okay,

great. Let's do it.

No, you come here and kiss me.

I'm the girl.

- Really?

- Yeah.

You ready? Okay.

You always could kiss.

- You, too.

- I forgot.

Me, too.

- No, I have to go.

- Wait, come here, come here.

Just one more. Come here. Come

here.

What? Please don't, don't.

Let me just stay here for a

second. Don't ruin it.

Don't.

I'm really gonna be late. I'm gonna be late.

I'll see you Sunday anyway.

- I hope so.

- Yeah, me, too.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

You know, if it happens

naturally or whatever.

What do you mean, "naturally"?

What does that mean?

- You know.

- Come here.

What does it mean exactly, "naturally"?

You mean with or without a condom?

No, I'm kidding. Really. Just tell

me what it means just so I know.

Start again as friends or

whatever.

- Us? Friends?

- If you don't get too pushy about things.

- Okay.

- If you take it easy.

I can do that.

And if we start at regular hours

at first. Daytime hours.

- You mean like lunch?

- Yeah.

But not as in code, like real

food.

Maybe then.

- Anything else?

- No, just like, things like that.

Are you sure there's nothing

else, no other rules...

or guidelines that I have to follow

in order to be in your presence?

- Fred!

- What?

I'm only kidding, really. When did

you stop being able to take a joke?

Right around the time they stop

being funny.

Gosh, you're getting quicker,

aren't you?

- I learned from the best.

- I hope that means me.

- I was referring to Chris, actually.

- You know what...

if you love Chris so much, go have f***ing

lunch with him. I'll be right here.

- I don't need your permission, Fred.

- You know what, just go.

I can go? Oh, thank you. Thank

you so much.

- You know what? You're pushing it. Get out.

- You know what?

I actually don't feel

comfortable leaving you here.

This has been nice, or I've

tried to make it nice...

but now I think you should go. I

think it's time that you leave.

- More threats.

- It's not a threat.

It's a simple f***ing fact that

you have to leave. Now.

All you had to do is ask nicely.

Do you want to help me with

these bags, please?

- Gimme a kiss. Just one kiss.

- No! No! No! No, Fred!

Stop jerking me and f***ing...!

What's wrong with you!

- Come here! Just come here!

- Fred! F***!

Shut up! Just get over here!

You f***ing...!

Come here! Come here!

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up!

Say hi to Chris for me.

Hey, you all right?

- Yeah.

- You sure?

My gosh, wow. That was really...

Did I hurt you?

- No. I'm okay.

- Are you sure?

- Did I hurt your head?

- I think you pulled a few hairs out.

- I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry.

- Did I hurt your hand? I feel like...

You bit it, but you didn't break

the skin or anything.

Listen. About the no condoms

thing...

you can't tell anybody that,

okay? Nobody can know that.

Who am I gonna tell? I sit at a

computer all day, you know?

You have a vivid imagination for

a computer guy.

Yeah, I know. Anyway. So, okay.

- I really love that accent that you do.

- You do?

- Yeah. I love when you're, you know.

- It's my grandma's accent.

Really? Wow, it's really good.

Here, okay. Here you go. So

that's that, the usual.

And then, here's extra 'cause...

we went over.

- And then, and then just a little...

- That's cool.

Here, take a little extra 'cause I broke that

thing over there. I'm really sorry about that.

No, that's fine. That's just

something from Crate & Barrel.

The agency will take care of that.

Okay, all right, good. Okay,

great. I better get going.

- Gotta go?

- Yeah. I gotta go.

- Give me a hand.

- I know you got stuff to do.

- Okay, you all right?

- I'm fine, I'm fine.

I love how you always get to be like other

professions and I'm always a hooker.

Yeah, I know. Well, next time you

can be whatever you want to be.

- I wanna be a nurse.

- Great. I'll be the patient.

I gotta get all this

stuff back to Goodwill.

No, I'm dropping it off at

Goodwill, I am.

I'm not kidding, I am.

- All right, next time.

- Yeah, right, thanks.

No, next week I can't come. I

have a family thing...

- but I'll call you.
