The Late-Night Host And I

Eight

Leigh

"Thank you for the glasses." I handed him the RayBan Clubmaster glasses he let me borrow. "It's yours, I bought it for you, and the cap too." He pushed away my hand. "Okay. Thanks."

He pulled off and I looked at the peaceful house I see. "We're in Hamptons since it's Saturday today." I nodded as he turned off the ignition. "Saturday? Why are you at work earlier?" He laughed loudly. "Because you slept at the couch of my office because you are lazy to go home and I pre-recorded a show for Monday." He pointed at his suit that I'm still wearing. "Right." I removed it and gave it to him.

I saw my Subaru Legacy pulled off at the road. "Why do you still use that crap?" He asked looking at the rear view mirror. "My boss gave it to me. My boss in the tabloid." He shook his head. "I'm going to buy you a new one." I hit his arm. "You don't need to!" He nodded. "I can't allow my fake girlfriend to drive that." He said pointing at my car.

We hopped out of the car and walked to the door. "The keys, sir." I heard Merlin say. "Yeah. Thanks for today, Merlin." Merlin nodded and left us together in front of the door.

"Are you, okay?" Jimmy said as I breathed quickly. "Yes. This is what I do when I'm nervous." He nodded, fidgeting his car keys. He put his hand on the door knob and he opens the door.

"This is lit." I was amazed by the photos hanging on each wall. "I know right. My son, James decorated the house with his shots of our family." I walked to the living room and looked at the gigantic design on the plain white wall.

"Your son is amazing." I said looking at each picture frame. There are pictures of their family members with text mask on them saying "The Fallons".

"Kids!" He shouted but there are no footsteps or anything that I heard, just Jimmy's echo. "Their uncle picked them up, I guess." He's talking about Jeorge Reynolds.

"I'm sorry. It'll be just the two of us eating tonight." I nodded and continued looking at the pictures. I saw Jimmy and her wife's wedding photo.

She's beautiful, really. "Why are you staring at that?" Jimmy said pointing at his wedding picture. "Did you really killed your wife in that car accident?" He looked at me straight in the eye. "I don't know. I'm gonna go order our food." He said holding up the telephone and dialing the numbers.

Jimmy and I kept talking about his show in his living room. He said that he would bring his kids on the show before but now, they didn't like watching their father lip-syncing. Someone rang the doorbell. "I guess that's our food." He went to the door and came back with bags of McDonalds.

"I really don't know how to manage what to eat." He holded up the bags. "It's fine! I really wanted those to end my first week in New York."  We went to the dining table.

I set up the food while Jimmy got us some plates. "What are the plates for?" I asked looking at the plates he placed on the table. "I put the fries on my plate and eat them with my fork." He said putting the fries on his plate and squeezing the ketchup on the side of his plate.

"That's weird." I said shoving the fries into my mouth. "I eat classy. What's weird with that? I don't want my hands to get oily." I took a sip of my medium sized cup of coke. "What if one of us will have feelings during this drama?" I choked and began coughing. I drank Jimmy's glass of water. "Sorry about that." I said putting his glass on the table.

"I don't know. It's up to you. Well, you came up with this." I said shrugging to him. "Do you want me to ask anything so that you can write anything on your tabloid?" I nodded and grabbed for my pen and notebook in my bag. "Sure. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?" He pointed at the basket full of strawberries in the counter.

"That's all." He nodded and he cleaned the table. He came back with two cans of beer, opened. "I can't do this." I said moving the can of beer away from me.

"Come on, why would you drink if you have kids?" He stood up and returned the cans in the refrigirator.

"I must go to sleep then." Before he said that, I knew that I drifted to sleep too.
