2011-09-27 Pre-party at Max’s
The bathroom door is left ajar when Max let him in. He can see a female shadow moving.
“Man, It’s too early… I will take a shower now. ” Max heads to his own ensuite.
“What’s happening? ” He tilts his head towards the shared bath.
“I don’t know… I was sleeping.” Max drags up his boxer and walks away.
He doesn’t care.
He can hear Tina’s voice murmuring something sweet.
The sobbing continues but gets lower.
It’s not right to peep. Anyways…
He stand beside the door with his back flattened up against the wall.
“…but.. you know that already… Honey… but…I know…I know… and…love you…Why…you say…I understand honey… I do… I really do… How… I… ”
But he can hear the desperation and pain beneath.
What’s happening? Is that Lily crying?
He doesn’t know why Lily is the first person who jumps out of his head. But he gets the feeling.
The sobbing gets softer and slower.
Um… whoever it is, she seems calmed now.
Just when he wants to move to Max’s room.
Bamm! The door gets shut and opened wildly. He glances in and sees Tina kneeling down. Then he notices her tiny feet with red nail polish kicking…
Suddenly starts the yelling:
“NOOOO!! YOU GET OUT!! YOU GET THE FUCK OUT! … STOP TOUCHING ME! FUCK!!!!! GET OUT! PLEASEEEEE! GET OUT!!”
What the fuck?!
Tina storms out. Shaking with tears.
She glances up at him and wipes her tears right away.
“Oh, you are here. We will start drinking in about 30 minutes.” she snuffles and rubs her nose on the back of her hand while squeezed an awkward smile.
“Are you ok? ” He asks while looking into the bathroom. Tina turns sideway and peeps inside bathroom door.
“Don’t worry. She got a nose bleed.”
Tina leads him to the living room and turns on the TV.
Tv is loud but all his attention is focused on the bathroom, he fells like an alerted deer, waiting for the deadly signal to run.
Not a single thing.
He opens a beer unconsciously.
In a sudden, the soft noise straightens him up.
Door opens. Footsteps coming towards the salon.
Knocks on a door.
“Sorry… I was mean…”
It ’s Lily. He sighs. He knew it was her. Dark and strange.
Foot steps.
Lily just walks in.
Yelling at people over a freaking noise bleed?! and you don’t look at all ashamed?!
A tiny sobbing mixed with hiccups.
“I am fine. In case you want to ask. ” indifferently chilling.
“Good to know.” Princess Missy…
“Are you going out with us tonight?” She lights a cigaret.
“Um… I don’t know… Is Max coming with you?” He suddenly feel so un-popular. Why I am the one following him?!
“I think so. We are going to meet the same people.” She takes out a napkin and wipes her nose.
“It’s not bleeding. I don’t see any blood.” He reassures her.
“Thanks.” She smiles.
Oh?… she smiles nicely.
