Pieces of Dreams (sequel to TWST)

Chapter 3

Katia waved goodbye to Neil.  She put her key in the front door, but before she had finished turning the lock, the door flew open. 

"Kat!  Where have you been?  And what the Hell happened to you?" Andrew asked with concern. 

"I'm so sorry I didn't call..." Kat said walking into the apartment.  She knew Andrew would be upset.  

"I went back to the Hollywood Bowl when I didn't hear anything from you..."  

Katia's guilt was multiplying by the second.   She had spent some amazing hours tonight with her friends while Andrew had been worrying.

"What happened to your arm?" Andrew asked as they both sat down in the living room.  

"I got hit by the door when they were bringing out the equipment...I was  knocked down and apparently landed wrong causing some kind of separation in my shoulder."

"You were at the hospital this whole time and you didn't call me?" 

"No..." Katia said not being able to hide her smile.  "I was with the Beatles." 

"What?  How?" Andrew asked a bit surprised. 

"It was one of the Beatles' roadies who knocked me over..." 

Katia proceeded to tell Andrew about her night, not leaving out a single detail- from the house to what each of the Beatles were drinking that night. 

"So did you make plans to see again them before they leave LA?" 

"Actually...they're coming for breakfast tomorrow morning.  Neil confirmed they'd be here around 10am." 

"They're coming here?" 

"Yes."

"Do we even have anything to feed them?"

"Of course we do!  Don't worry about that.  I've got it covered." Katia laughed. 

"I still can't believe your night turned out the way it did.  I guess I'd have forgotten to call me too if I had the night you just had." 

"I really am sorry about not calling you...but I did come back tonight...I had the option of staying the night with the Beatles, after all..." Katia teased him. 

"I suppose I should feel flattered." 

"I know you worry about me...and I don't take that likely.  Thank you." Katia genuinely said.

"Sure." Andrew smiled. 

"And thank you for everything.  I would have never been able to see them tonight if it wasn't for you." 

"No worries...you've more than made up for it by inviting them over." he smiled. 

"C'mon...we should get some sleep." Katia said standing up.  

"How's the shoulder?" 

"It'll be better when I finally take the pills the doctor prescribed."

"That's what you get for preferring alcohol." he laughed. 

"You would have preferred alcohol too if you were in my shoes!" 

"Yes...I would have!"

"That's what we're giving the Beatles for breakfast?" Andrew questioned a bit stunned. 

"Yes!" 

"Cereal?  We're having the most popular band in the world over for breakfast and you want to give them cereal?" 

"It's cornflakes." she laughed.
