5: Cheater, Cheater Pumpkin Eater

ROSE

"I won't be home till 11 maybe 12 tonight, Rose," Sarah said from the other line. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine, Sar, really." I replied honestly. "I'm goin' clean up around here and get started on job huntin'. Maybe it'll be easier the second time 'round." I laughed awkwardly.

"Alright," I could hear shuffling in the background. "Well, I'll see you tonight then."

"Yeah, I'll see ya." And with that my girlfriend was gone. Without a proper goodbye. With a sigh, I pull the phone away from my ear.

I released a slow, ragged breath.
How could she let something so trivial get between us? Meryl Streep is nothing more than my friend and she knows it. But Sarah just simply won't let this immature jealousy go.

I shake away the thoughts of the ridiculous situation, and make my way to the kitchen to start cleaning. Just as I was about to begin cleaning the dishes, my phone rang and I picked it up to see the call was from Meryl.

Quickly, I answered it, "Hello?"

"Hello, dear!" The actress's voice rang through. "What are you up to?"

"I was just 'bout to start on some chores," I placed the phone between my head and shoulder as I submerged my hands in the kitchen sink's water to grab a plate. "What can I help ya with?"

"I was hoping I could take you out for lunch. Would that be okay?"

I smile, "where would we be goin'?"

"I was thinking about a small plane in the corner of Main and 9th street."

"Sounds great," I reply. "Can I meet ya there in twenty?"

Meryl laughed. "Won't be necessary, darling,I'll come pick you up."

I placed the now washed plate on the counter on a towel. "Are ya su—"

"I'll see you in thirty." Then the line went dead.

I sighed knowing I need to get ready now. I walk off to the bedroom and change into some more suitable clothes for going out. After dressing I apply some makeup and fix my hair. Before I know it I hear the door bell, telling me that she's here. I walked to the front door and upon opening it Meryl handed me a dozen white roses. "For you." She smiled.

"Aw," I smelled the flowers that were now in my hands. "They smell wonderful. Thank ya, Meryl, really you didn't have too."

"I know, but I wanted to. You should put them in a vase."

"Right!" I say and walk back into the apartment to put them in something. I hear the door close and look back to see the woman had followed me in.

Silently, the older woman steps closer to me. I stare at her speechless as her hand gently moves away my long, blonde hair from my neck and her lips press softly into my skin.
Lost in the moment I turn my head giving her access then it hits me. I move away, and stare at her in shock. "Wh-what are ya' doing?"

Meryl only looks at me.

Before I know it the older woman's lips are on my own in a soft but fierce embrace. My brain goes numb and my limbs are rendered useless. Her arms wrap around my neck and a low moan releases from the back of my throat.
