Afternoon Tea with Nick

“Let’s play ladies and go eat cake and drink coffee at Brunettis.”

“Yes, sure.”

“Of course, you can just have the coffee.”

“I’m sorry.”

“With your matronly figure, Josh, can you afford the cake.

“Seriously.”

“A minute on the lips, Josh.”

“A life time of happiness?”

“Regret.”

“You write your story, and I’ll write mine.”

“I’m just saying, they are…”

“Who are they?”

“You know perfectly well,” said Nick. “And they are grimacing and suddenly sucking in breath when they see you coming now a days. I’ve got to be honest.”

“I’ll take my chances with the mean girls posse, luv.”

“Be it on your head, sweat heart.”

“Besides, I have two boyfriends, how many do you have?”

“You always had that nasty streak, Josh,” said Nick. “It has always been unbecoming on you.”

“Really? Tanya Degano, you don’t say?”

“It’s why people don’t like you…”

“Really? Who are you talking about?”

Nick stopped, rolled his eyes, opened his mouth and sighed. “Oh, take no notice of me Josh, I’m just tired and grumpy and in desperate need of a drink,” said Nick. “I think we should have daiquiris.”
