Rock Lobster – Chapter 8
Bette flipped her phone shut and tossed it on the table. She leaned forward the kitchen counter, watching the coffee drip into the pot. She was surprised when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.
“Sorry to startle you.” Tina let her head rest on Bette’s shoulder, taking in her scent. “Who was that you were talking to?”
Bette didn’t budge, finding comfort in Tina’s arms. “Gabby. She wants us to start auditioning people by 2pm.”
“I’m sorry, babe.”
Bette turned to face Tina. “I don’t want to do it but she’s leaving us no choice.”
Tina brushed a piece of stray hair on Bette’s face and tucked it behind her ears. “She’ll understand, Bette.”
“I sure hope so.”

They were on their eighth audition. Bette and Alice were getting tired of repeatedly having to turn down applicants because most of the people who showed up didn’t fit the criteria they were looking for. Tina, Dana, Helena, and Kit all showed up too for support. They sat in a long table facing the drum set, each with a cup of coffee in front of them.
“This must be how that Simon guy feels when he auditions people.” Dana commented.
“Simon who?” Bette didn’t have a clue who Dana was talking about.
“Simon Cowell, that British guy from American Idol.” Helena informed Bette.
“She doesn’t watch a lot of TV.” Tina told Helena.
“So who’s next?” Kit asked.
“A guy named Hank Boyd.” Alice browsed through the list in front of her.
“I don’t like his name. Sounds like a brand of canned food.” Dana commented.
“Dane! We can’t make a decision based on their names!” Tina laughed at her friend’s statement.
“I’m just saying!” Dana defended herself.
“Hel, can you bring him in?” Bette asked their friend.
Helena stood up from her seat and proceeded to the waiting area. A few seconds later, she emerged with a tall, long-haired, lanky guy in front of her. The girls took one look at him and at Helena who was shaking her head profusely behind him. An unbearable stench filled up the room as soon as Hank entered the door. The girls looked at each other, holding their breaths for as long as they could. He took his seat behind the drum set and waited for a go signal to begin playing.

Alright, the gangs all here. Good thing it Shane showed up to save the day, cos if Bree had been hired Tina would have had to kill someone.
Damn, glad its Shane. I didn’t want to see some idiot trying to get with Bette all the time. Not like she won’t have enough groupies throwing themselves at her soon. PPS.
I knew it was going to be Shane, lucky for Tina cause that other girl was going to be trouble. I hope Marina is ok and when she gets back she has gotten rid of that freak Jenny.
Good thing Shane showed up or their choice would have been between cheese and stinky cheese. But what HAS happened to Marina and did that loathsome Jenny have anything to do with her disappearance? And Bette shouldn’t blame Gabby, she’s just doing her job (just as Marina isn’t doing hers). Although Gabby probably could have done a better job screening the applicants.
Man, where the heck is Marina?? I mean I can understand needing to keep going forward with the band but I would be losing my mind if one of my bandmates just done disappeared! I mean WTF?! Call out the lesbain search patrol and find this b*tch! LOL. Anyway, hope all ends well for the gals…
Drummer Shane strikes again! :D Not sure if anyone watches the US Big Brother but I was totally picturing Jen Johnson as Bree in this chapter. XD And uh, why don’t these other bands just tell Hank to shower more? It doesn’t matter how nice you are. If you smell like a rotten crotch no one will want to have anything to do with you.
Oh boy….Shaney’s here! Better than stinky and sexed up. Now, where could Marina be? Hmmmmmmmm!
fun but the story just not getting there for me…nicely written though
