The clock reads 12:00 pm as I get out of bed. Sky and Lori are already up and ready for the day. "Wow. Early risers yall are!" I say and they just smile.
"Good morning Jess." Lori says as she curls her hair. And Sky is slipping on her snow boots. "I am going to go across the street to the London Coffee Shop. Thier bagels, I hear, are to die for."
I am suddenly excited "Mmmm.... Coffee...." I sleepily say as I plant my face back onto my pillow. My voice is muffled as I resume speaking. "Get me Black Coffee... no... Hot Chocolate, what the hell. Get me both in Plus sizes!"
I lazily close my eyes as the thought of coffee and bagels rooms around my brain in a ghostly manner. A little twenty minute snooze here would be great.What seems like seconds later, I smell something under my nose, following with my head. A smile comes to my face as the smell lingers. I could feel the warmth of coffee on my face. The steam hitting my face, then leaving. I loved the hot steam so I followed it, and landed flat on my face out of bed. Shit. It was then I actually woke from my slumber completely. "Guys, nit cool." I whine, rubbing my head and taking the coffee as I stayed on the floor. One sip of my coffee, and I jumped up. I still had terrible bed hair, but my best friends told me nothing.
I gave them $10, because that is how much my cinnamon bagel, coffee, and Hot chocolate cost. I take a deep sniff. "Mmmm.... What a delightful thing to wake up to in the glorious mornings." I say SMILING. we sit down at the table next to the window looking out on the London landscape. The snow floating down, covering rooftops and the heads of people walking from plAce to place. Getting in and out of cars.
We talk about little things for a while until we finish our brunch.
After brunch, the consumption of coffee and hot chocolate in my system was causing me to talk really fast, non stop. My friends were worried that I might die of a heart attack, dehydration, or my heart beating so fast to where it'll explode or something. Reminds me of when I took a sip of a Monster. Just one! I was off the rails, going crazy, and bouncing off walls like they were trampolines. Have I learned my lesson?NOPE!
We put our coats and boots on and go out to across the street where the performance of Frankie Valli takes place. My hyperness has died down a bit, probably 20%.
Then we go in to find seats. I was more excited than anything in the world. Lori and Skyler never got into listening to Frankie Valli, though they came anyway.
They didn't have to, but they did.I look at the papers. Oooh nice seats! 2nd row!!
We take our seats and then the show starts. He first sings Grease, then My Eyes Adored You, and others. It was going great! Then, Mr. Valli took a break in the middle of the show. We were just sitting there all excited then the two people infront of us just started arguing. I have never seen British people argue before. It's kind of cute. But it was not the usual thing. The man tried putting his arm around her shoulders and she was already pissed off at him so she pushed him away. And then he gets mad saying "what's the matter with you?!" really loud and she doesn't answer. Then he's all "I gave you my car, my home, my money, my. dic and my sex cells and this is how you repay me?!" Dude... Eeew.... Disgusting.... Noone needs to kniw that sir. Maintain low tones. You should have just bought her a cup of tea or an icecream cone. And I realize niw that I just quoted Coneheads. Scratch that, a whole gallon of her most favorite icecream because she seems pretty pissed.
"What do you mean you gave me everything of yours, even your own dic?!" she yelled back, slapping him in the face. "You shared that tiny thing not just with me, but my fucking twin sister, AND my best friend! Probably other hookers too! You wanna know why I'm fucking mad, Clark?! That is why! So why don't you go lick a bitch's ass or something because I am done with you! DONE!" Damn, thats intense! She got up and threw back stage passes at him. Two. Back. Stage. Passes +1. She darted off and he followed her. "Baby, that was just once, and you both fucking look a like! How was I to tell if it was you or your sister?!" she scoffed and ran out the door after throwing the back stage passes at him. He was not thinking about them, and he let them hit his chest as he ran after his girl. They landed on Lori's lap. She tried to get the man's attention, but he left the door. He came back a few minutes later because she forgot her purse and that is when we got his attention. "Sir, you dropped your passes earlier."
He seemed too angry to want to be talked to. "Yeah thanks young lady." he smiled and started checking Sky out. My best friend. But she wasn't paying attention. I was standing right there and noticed this. It pissed me off so I kicked him in the nads. I swore I heard a crack of some sort as he groaned rocking back and forth on the floor. "Don't be checking my friend out you psychopath. "Sorry." he said whining with every move he made. "Here keep the fucking passes. I don't need them anyway. " he slowly got up, threw the passes at us and limped away. Wow. What just happened...
Passes... Oops. He left his hookers purse again, though he came back and grabbed the purse and left. Sky hugged me as well as Lori. People can be assholes. For sure.
Throughout the rest of the concert, I enjoyed myself quite well. My friends were glad to be there too. I think they started liking the stuff.
After the concert we went backstage. We got in line behind the velvety red door closer thing, and a security guard stood there all serious and whatnot. He scared me down to the bones. We waited. About 5 minutes after we got there, the gate opened and people started showing passes, and entering after going through a metal detector.
We were finally going through the metal detector. I was super excited. They told me to stand still when in the scanner. 10 times. I just couldn't sit still. Nope. Not gonna happen. We finally got through, and were led down the hall to a fancy lounge room with red carpet, a drink and snack table. Chocolate fountain with fruits and marshmallows and cookies, etc. It was beautiful. Then I see him.
