"End marker!"
As I walked off the set to go change I noticed a handsome face. Standing at my trailer door, like a body guard,Don.
"Well hello there Julia!"
"Don stop it! You know my name and I don't like being called by character. My name is Mary! Not Julia, you hear?" I had sounded like a strait up bitch,but I have had a rough day! There is a point in a career when you see a part of yourself in a character, but you are not that character!
"I'm sorry, I really am! Don it's been a rough day! Can I just crash at your place tonight? You live like ten minutes away. I have to drive almost an hour away from the set." Maybe if I sounded pathetic enough, he would be sympathetic!"Meryl, I know this is going to sound crazy, but you should just move in! I mean you have been at my house for days now, and you are only in that apartment because of a small budget. Also you're never there and it's forever away!"
"HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, are you serious? Don that's insane! I mean I appreciate the offer,but I have to think about it. I will stay at your house tonight though! Which reminds me. Are you going to Tracey's ultrasound with us tomorrow? I strongly encourage it!"
"Meryl, you do realize she hasn't said anything to me yet!"
As we walked to the car in an awkward silence, I wondered if Tracey was going to tell Don! I mean I know she probably doesn't want to jeopardize our relationship. It can't be that awkward though, can it? Tracey does know that Don and I are together, so why is it so complicated. Climbing in the side of the truck, I decided I wasn't going to hesitate the answer!
"Don, yes!"
"Yes what?" He sounded as if he never asked a moving question!
"Don.... moving in? What the hell why not? I mean you're right, I am always at your house now and I do love you!"
"You love me?"
I looked in those icy blue eyes and saw a whole new world within there. "Yes, I love you! Don I know this will sound silly, but when I am with you, we are one." Oh shit, did I scare him? Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw...
"Mary Louise Streep, I love you too! With every artistic bone in my body, I believe we are one!"
As we headed back to our home, I gently slid my hand on his thigh. Making the urge to want to fuck him then and there. No, not just fucking, but making love. As we pulled into his driveway, he stopped the truck,got out and opened my door, and carried me to the door.
"A queen deserves nothing but the best. That is what you are!" Saying it with such a masculine tone, I couldn't even resist him. I made him put me down before we starting having sex on the porch. As he unlocked the door we rushed inside,and went strait to the bedroom. After making love, I had started drifting into a sleep that was more comforting than being at home with my parents.
Rolling over and looking at the clock on the side table it had read 7:28 a.m. "Oh my god! Don Gummer, I am going to be late for Tracey's ultrasound. I love you, I will be back okay?
A soft muffled sound of "love ya too,okay."
As I met Tracey at the OBGYN appointment, we had our usual catch up. Then, the doctor walked in.
"Hi, Mrs. Ullman! I'm Dr.Blaszak."
"HA! It's actually just Ms.Ullman, and hello! This is my friend Meryl! She will be at every appointment with me!"
I was drifting away thinking about Don, and if we would ever have kids, when Tracey nudged me.
"Yes, Hi! I am Meryl. Tracey is one of my closest friends!"
After the awkward conversation had mellowed, Dr.Blaszak proceeded with the ultrasound. First the weird medical history questions, then the ice jelly on the stomach! When it was over I has said my thank you's andgoodbye's to Tracey and Dr.Blaszak. Walking out to the parking lot, I was looking for my car, when I realized that I drove Don's truck. Unlocking the door, I thought, fuck I have his truck, I could just grab the stuff from my shitty apartment right now! Starting up the truck, I wondered if he had even woke up yet? I started to head for my apartment. Realizing that I needed a key for the back hatch, I decided to open up the glovebox when I noticed a small velvet box. I reached in the compartment for the box and under it was a note. Being the nosey person I am, I decided to open it.
"Son, I hope you are going to make the right decision in the long run. I know you really have a thing for this woman. She sounds delightful, but remember this... There's a fine fine line, between love and a waste of your time! I trust that you will make that right decision though, as I know you planned on asking her to move in. Here is the ring that your father purposed with! Please be sure you are making the right decision! I love you with all my heart bubsy.
-Love Mom <3"
Oh my god. Don plans on purposing to me! No. No. We have only known eachother for two months! Still in shock from that letter, I decide to grab the little velvet box. Grabbing and opening it, I got distracted by the beautiful ring, and the next thing I know. CRASH! Blackout!
