Barrett: A Love Beyond Time

Chapter 19

Chapter 19 - The Creep 

1976 – London

I turned slightly, my body was sore. I tried to open my eyes, but the light from the window had been burned my eyes. I had a bad view of the place, but I could see that I was in my room. When I was sleeping?

- Good morning, my love. - Someone whispered softly in my ear. It was not Alice's voice, much less than Judy. Who was in the house? - Are you good sleeper, no?

- Oh... Yes... - I muttered. Who was at my house?

- You forgot my name, is not it? - She asked discouraged.

I slowly opened my eyes and I came across a woman redhead sitting in front of me. She was pretty, very pretty.

- No... - I lied. What the hell was her name? - Ah... Well... Melissa, my love, how could I forget such a beautiful name like that?

- Is that most men never remember... - She said. Oh, a fucking groupie... - You are very attentive...

- My head... - I put a hand on his forehead, it hurt a lot. - What happened yesterday?

- Well, you paid me a drink after the show yesterday... So I think you should remember what happened after... - I saw her eyes glow with malice. What did I do?

- Oh, yes! - I lied again. - How could I forget a night like this?

She stood laughing, - Much less I... Are you an animal in bed... - She laughed even more. How?

- I assure you I am very eager to see you again. - I lied for the third time in the same dialog.

She approached me and kissed me lightly on the lips. - Sorry honey, I have to go now. - She ran her thumb lightly on the top of my lips and I was silly with it.

- Bye Melissa. - I muttered.

- Bye, baby. - She smiled.

She slowly pulled away and walked off. I was started on looking for your perfect butt that rocked from side to side, but then when she actually left the room, I was feeling like an idiot. I had slept with a woman and not even remember her name. What really was the point of doing all this?

I was alone again. Judy had gone home, but I would give anything to have her here, annoying me. Or rather, Alice, would be nice to wake up and face me with her smiling at me or even... Sleeping embraced me like I was her favorite teddy bear.

I had to admit that being alone was not for me and even after everything, I still loved her... The two.

Were about four months, I think, since I had seen Alice, Syd or Julia. But despite everything, I hoped that things were fine between them, mainly because of Julia because I felt like a father to her and I did not want to see her suffer.

The door slammed, Melissa had really gone. I sat up in bed and stared at the wall.

I entered in my underpants and leaves the room. The clock read 12:43, but I did not mind going into the studio. My absence from the studio would annoy David and annoy David was a good thing. I grabbed the bottle and sees vodka filled a cup, walked to the window and watched the street and random people.

I picked up a frame, they were smiling, they seemed happy together on your wedding day... What changed between both Judy and I during that time?

I closed the window and goes out again to the room. I put my clothes, then grabbed the car keys and my cigarettes.

I knocked twice on the door. No one answered, but I could hear footsteps coming from inside the house. I pulled back a little from the door and waited patiently. Julia opened the door and saw me she smiled so sweetly.
