A Riot to Remember

Part 1 ~

Bzzt...Bzzt...Bzzt

ugh. goddamn it.

Bzzt...Bzzt...Bzzt

i lift my head sleepily and roll over to my nightstand.

Caller ID: Gerald

I answer the phone.

"Good morning Nancy! I have your breakfast prepared for you! Coffee and toast, your usual."

*sigh* "All right Gerald, i'll be down in a minute"

I hang up the call, jump out of bed and get ready.

 i walk down the stairs in my favorite pantsuit and heels.

"Looking beautiful as always miss Pelosi! Come, come, have a seat." says Gerald.

I sit down at the table and eat my breakfast in silence.

"What seems to be the matter, young lady? Gerald remarks.

"Nothing it's just that...Chuck hasn't called me back yet and we're supposed to go to the Capitol tomorrow!!"

"Oh dear, that sounds quite dire..well, hopefully, he will call back sooner than later. Anywho, you have a lot of work to get to missy! Get on with yourself!"

For the rest of the day, I sulk around, performing my daily duties until I finally get back home.

The phone rings and my heart jumps. 

I realize it's just Joe. I frown and answer the call.

"Hey gurrrrl!! Whatchu doin?? still waiting for chuck's lame-ass to call you back?"

I snort and say "Chuck's not lame. He's sweet and nice"

"But he's obviously not nice enough to pick up the damn phone and call you, right?!", he scoffs.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever joe."

I hear a crash and a groan through the receiver.

"Uh..Joe?? Are you alright?"

"Oh god....I was messing around playing with Major a-and I fell on my foot..this is some malarkey right here!! I'm going to call the medic..I'll call you back!", he moans through the receiver.

"Jesus, Joe!! You need to be careful!"

Joe hangs up.

What a doofus.
