What time is it? I look at the clock, it’s 12pm Enough time for sipping coffee, smoke a cigarette, read the newspaper, take a shower, and dress up. Humm What to wear Stone washed jeans, white tank top and 3 holes pair of Doc’s shoes

THE PLANET

Same thing, same people but a lot more (this place is gaining in popularity) , good music, good food and the gang.

I walk towards the couch where they are sitting.

” Hi! People!”

Everyone looks at me like they just seen a ghost.

” Hey! How are you?” They say.

” Good, good.” I answer.

And Alice is continuing her story :

-” And she looks at me and tells me: I thought that you were a model! You’re so pretty. And I say: Thanks but I’m not! And I approach to kiss her but she turns around and runs in the arms of her girlfriend. I thought this was it, I was so close!”-

We all laughed.

Dana asks me what’s bringing me here today.

” Shane. ” I say

“Shane? Oh!” She says

” Yeah, long story short, she wanted me here for 2pm” I explain

As I say this, Shane walks in She’s so pretty with that corduroy jacket!

She looks towards us and smiles.

” Hey! Shane, what did the doctor had to say?” I ask

” I’m healthy and everything was fine and normal.” She says while sitting next to me.

Alice says: “Good, so you’ll live another 100 years!”

Everyone laughs.

And than, everyone wants to know how was Toronto and how I’ve been.

“Humm It’s nothing like I thought, it was It’s a nice city Culturally wise it’s great! A lot of cool places for bands to play, museums, cafs, clubs, good music. There’s something to do every day. And this is the city where I met Mike.”

“Mike? Who?” Shane asks

“My boss and ex-boyfriend. ” I say

” Oh!” She says

I continue: “Anyway, it’s an inspiring city, a lot of social stuff going on. I had a lot of contracts for magazines or newspapers. A lot of stories to work on.”

” But now you’re back for good!” Shane says with a confidant voice.

“Yeah I wanted to tell you this Mike called me up and there’s a super project, that I can’t refuse. And I have to travel for a couple of time You see, I have to study the sexual habits of teens in 5 different big cities One on each continent.” I say with a slight fear in the voice.

Alice screams: This is so great!”

” Plus it’s for the New York Times.” I say, very exited.

Alice says: ” You are soooo lucky!”

As much as we were talking, and Alice was giving me some enthusiasm, Shane’s face was becoming less smiley Rage is the word I’m looking for.

Shane gets up.

“If you’ll excuse me, I have to go.” She says with a dark tone.

” Shane! Don’t go! We’ll check options!” I say

And she says (upset): “The only option I see is that work has been and will always be the only love of your life”

Her eyes are getting full of water.

She continues: ” What you told me yesterday at Alice’s and what you told me last night, when we spent the night together, was bullshit. Like always, lies, lies, LIES. How could I’ve been so naive? To fall for you again!”

She walks to the door.

” Shane!” I try to keep her from walking through the door, by holding her arm.

” Don’t touch me! Nevermind, I really don’t want to do anything with you.” She tells me with a fierce look in the eyes.
