"I really should get going though Billie."
"I know. Are you going back to Wisconsin?"
"Heavens no! I wish I was but I'm afraid I've got some touring and more interviews."
"Anymore here in Cali?"
"Quite a few. Could you possibly get this baby moving again?"
"Right."
Billie pulled the stop button and the elevator finally made it's way down to the lobby. I stepped out of the elevator and turned towards Billie's warm face. I hugged him and laughed "Well, that was a fun elevator ride.".
"Anything involving me is fun. You should know that by now Shirl."
"How could I forget? Anywho, call me tonight ok? We could figure out something to do sometime."
"Right, bye Shirl."
"Bye Billie."
I walked out of the unnecessarily fancy hotel with something rare, a real smile. It was raining cats and dogs and I just skipped through the growing puddles.
"You must be happy." a young girl said to me while pointing towards the heavens.
"Yeah, but what makes you think that?"
"It's raining!"
I just smiled at her and continued on my way. I should of seen that coming. I get that almost every time it rains. People think they are so original. Don't they realize that they weren't the only one to hear my song "Only Happy When It Rains"? So, most likely other people have thought of the "You must be happy bit." But instead of poking fun of their ignorance and stupidity I just play along with a fake grin and chuckle.
"You're just all wet cause of me aren't ya?" Duke shouted to me as I entered the lobby of the hotel I was staying at.
"That's exactly it Duke!"
"Where were you last night?"
"No where important."
"Well, it had to of been important enough to miss our French Rolling Stone interview last night."
"I totally forgot I am so sorry."
"We called your phone like fifteen times!"
I emptied out the contents of my purse and snatched up my nearly dead cell phone. Duke was right. I had fifteen missed calls and two text messages.
"You messaged me too." I said while trying to figure out if their was away to delete all the missed calls at once instead of individually.
"No, we just called."
I checked my text messages and realized who they were from. The first one was only three minutes old and from Billie. It read: "What's up? I'm fucking bored out of my mind without you! Call me soon. What time is it? Oh never mind! I found the time! Bye."
The second message wasn't so welcomed. It read: "I know I'm the last person you want to hear from. Call me, please. Love Eddy."
"Who are the messages from?" Duke asked while looking over my shoulder.
"No one. What are we to do about Rolling Stone?"
"Oh, it's all fine now. We have an interview over the phone tonight at about seven. They are calling Butch's room I think."
"Right,well, I'm gonna go upstairs and get changed. I'll see you later!"
I threw my purse on the bed and scratched my head. I felt deathly ill. I hadn't talked to Eddy in two years and wasn't sure of his motives to strike up a conversation out of nowhere. I grabbed my phone out of temptation and unsteadily dialed his number. "If he answers on the first ring then you were supposed to talk to him but after that hang up." I thought. One ring passed by quickly. "Ok, two rings cause they are really short baby rings."
"Hello?"
"Eddy, hi, it's Shirley."
"I know. I do have caller ID."
"Right, I was just checking. You never know! Well, I just called to see what you wanted. I'm really busy and all so please do make it quick. I haven't got much time."
"Ok, slow down there Shirl. You're talking a hundred miles a minute there."
I gulped. My palms were sweaty and I was sick to my stomach. A million thoughts and images flashed into my mind. The wedding all the way through to the divorce. It was like a mental scrapbook of all the mistakes I had made in marriage, not only his. It's like I was becoming my own enemy. I started actually wondering what it would have been like if we had stayed together. "Children?" I asked myself. "No, never. I don't need a kid to feel complete. I hate the little buggers anyway. But you'd love your kid...you know that." My mind was right.
"I wanted to talk to you Shirl because I'm in Los Angeles right now and I wanted to know if you'd like to get something to eat tonight."
"Sorry, I've got an interview."
"It can be after the interview. There is always IHOP. It's open all the time you know."
"Yes, I do know but I can't eat."
"You can't eat?"
"With you. I'm going out with the boys after the interview."
"What about tomorrow?"
"What about it?"
"Food, with me?"
"No, I don't know. I'll get back to you on that ok?"
"Alright. Bye Shirl."
"Bye"
I went into the bathroom and grabbed the bottle of Advil. My head was throbbing so I shoved three pills down my throat. "I don't fucking believe this." I said to myself in the mirror. "What more can he get out of you? Hasn't he already taken it all?"
I grabbed my cell phone off the bed and called Billie. I was praying he would answer and help me figure out what Eddy was trying to do.
"Hey there Shirley! Thank God you called. I was so close to hanging myself from boredom."
"That's not good now is it? I need help."
"With what? Let me warn you that if it has anything to do with numbers or anything someone of average intelligence would know..I will have no clue."
"No, it's more of a personal issue. Eddy sent me a text message telling me to call him-"
"You called him and he wants you back doesn't he?"
"He didn't say that but he invited me to dinner tonight, I said no, but he keeps pushing for dinner and I just haven't the slightest inclination of what to do."
I was expecting Billie to get angry and tell me not to go. I was wrong, as usual.
"Go to dinner. He probably just wants to be your friend and if you become friends then maybe it'll help you get over it and then, my dear Shirley, you will trust me."
"I don't think it's such a good idea."
"Why not?"
"My parents believe that I should forgive him because my biological clock is ticking and I need to have some babies. If I see him, they will find out because I have trouble keeping stuff from them now that I've gotten older. I don't want babies and they don't get that."
"Hey, if your parents had you, they must be pretty smart. I don't think you should take him back but I think one day you should have kids with whoever."
"I don't like kids."

He doesn't know them and already he tells me they might be right! Even though he is wrong because I'm not having a baby...ever.
