| PART TEN Posted by z.q. on 4/27/2001, 3:57 pm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week had flown by and now I found myself pacing in the green room for the Jerry Springer show. Show rules demanded that I be unarmed, good thing too, because if I had a gun right now I would shoot myself. Edward sat on the couch watching me with those cool blue eyes of his. He had his Ted face on because an assistant was in the room going over the last minute details. What I really wanted to do was wipe that smile off his face. Nathaniel was curled up in a chair playing a Gameboy - had to keep my eye on that one, I was afraid to turn my back on him here because there's no telling what he could get into in this setting. Richard was sitting in the make-up chair having stage make-up applied by a young blonde girl who kept pressing up against him "accidentaly". One more time and I was going to take my aggression out on her. Jean-Claude had just risen for the night and was on his way to the studio with Asher and Jason. And here I went on lap 32 of the green room (Nathaniel was counting). "Ms. Blake?" the assistant said. I stopping in my tracks, jerked out of my "101 ways to get out of this mess" thoughts, "WHAT?" I fairly yelled. The poor guy jumped, "uumm. I just wanted to make you understood how things were going to go. Do you have any questions?" "Yeah, how do I get out of this?" "I'm afraid it's a little late for that now, Ms Blake. Jerry will be in to see you in a few minutes. He just wants to talk with the three of you before you go on to get a feel for things.....Where IS your third party..." he glanced down at his clip board "Jean-Claude?" "He's on his way. Or did you want him to be a crispy critter for your show by arriving before sundown?" "That would solve all our problems" Richard muttered from the make up chair. "You're not helping matters, Richard," I snapped. "Ms. Blake, Mr, Zeeman, please let's save it for it the cameras" the assistant pleaded. I turned to him. "How bout I take my aggression out on you, you little..." Edward coughed loudly from his spot on the couch. "Shut Up Edward" I yelled. "I thought you said his name was Ted?" the assistant questioned. "Oh Bite Me" Richard, Edward, and Nathaniel burst out laughing. The poor assistant turned and quickly exited the room. I resumed pacing. "33" Nathaniel said quietly. I let it slide. The make up girl was absently combing Richard's hair. "Do you mind?" I snapped at her. She gave a little start, appologized and said she would return in a bit to give us all a last minute touch up. "Touch up my ass" I said to the door as it closed behind her. "Actually I think she wants to touch Richard's ass" Nathaniel pointed out. I glared at him and he went back to his game. Jean-Claude picked that moment to arive. "Ah, Ma Petite you look lovely this eveing." "What would I have to do for you not to call me that on camera?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART ELEVEN |
