Chapter 17 - Roger's Birthday/My Generation

Amanda's POV

Saturday, July 27, 1973

Roger turned twenty-four on Thursday, July twenty-six, but today we're celebrating his birthday here at pub XXX, near the Wembley stage. Roger certainly only invited me because his sister Clare must have insisted a lot. Talking about them, Winifred is in London. He arrived yesterday with Trevor, for the birthday of Roger that will be celebrated tomorrow between family.

In the pub, we all had fun and realized that Cintia did everything for Brian to realize and I believe that over time, the attempt will take effect. I realize that Brian is talking a lot to my friend. I ate fish and chips when Roger, who was accompanied by a brunette, said:

- All London magazines and newspapers have talked about Queen's album, with both positive and negative reviews, but so far the NME reporters have not given a position on the band's album.

- All the journalists have already heard the first album of the band - Said eating fish - I just do not know yet who will be responsible for writing the review, that will leave already next week.

"It's a good thing you're not going to write the review, otherwise it would already be Queen's death sentence," Roger laughed. "You'd end up with the band, after all."

"Maybe so, maybe not." I smirk at Roger.

"I just hope you do not fight here at the pub," Clare said worriedly.

"I will not do that, my friend, I have class," he said, smiling Machiavellian at Roger.

"I will not make any scandal either, because of this ridiculous Mandy," said Roger, laughing.

Roger's POV

Sometimes I think of approaching Mandy, she always moves away from me, I really disgust the redhead, all because I humiliated her once. It's time for her to get over this and move on.Damn, I want to get close to the redhead, even apologize to her if need be, but, I want her friendship. She teases me and I tease her, too. This is already customary. During the night I was with three women, but none satisfies me. Since Jill, I have not stopped with any more women, but, they do not deserve it. Women are treacherous, they betray us, they have no respect for us. So I am a womanizer, because after two relationships that have disappointed me, I gave up on love, but, the friendship I still maintain. I believe in a great power of friendship and besides my mother being my friend, my sister also and Brian, as if it were my brother.

I spent the night with lots of women and I also noticed that Mandy had a face, more late in the evening and that the two exchanged kisses. This deeply irritated me.

Amanda's POV

Sunday, July 29, 1973

Everyone was having lunch in the party room of the building where Clare lives with a college classmate. I had made lunch for Roger's birthday, including there is the flavor cake he likes and the sweets he ate a lot as a kid. The name of the candy is Fairy Cake. I also made the candy the way he likes it. Roger the birthday boy does not deserve it, but his sister and his mother deserve it and I'm doing it for them.

Lunch in the afternoon goes very well and next to singing congratulations, Roger approaches the cake and the sweets I made for him. About six in the afternoon, we sang congratulations and he cut the cake and the first piece went to his mother and sister.

After cutting the cake, Roger turned on the radio and listened to many songs to be played. After a while, with the music playing, Roger came up to me and said,

"Can we talk now, demonic redhead?" Roger asked.

"No, you can not," I said irritably.

- Thank you - said Roger sitting next to me and I still ate the piece of birthday cake nuts.

- What you want? - I asked seriously - We have nothing to talk about, Roger.

At that moment he began to play the song My Generation of The Who.

He pulled me to dance with him.

"What do you mean by that?" - She said irritated.

"Enjoy the song, demonic redhead, and stop asking questions," Roger said to me, blinking and then smiling.

"I hate you, Roger," she said firmly.

"I'm not so sure about whether I hate you or I'm liking you, you know." I know I humiliated you and hurt you when I met you and Cynthia, but I want you to know that I'm deeply sorry that this has happened, Mandy, from the heart. "Roger looked at me intently.

"What do you want, Taylor?" I asked in amazement at his revelations.

- Do you know what i want? He said closer to me. "I want your forgiveness, Mandy, your pardon for having treated you badly." It is. I know you do not believe me, but the day we met, I was not feeling well, after all, my ex-girlfriend was over with me and I confess I was annoyed at some of the reporters who had spoken badly about Queen, so I I treated you so badly. Forgive me, for all that I have spoken to you, that I made you pass that day, to this day. I confess that for a while, I really hated you, but as time went by I realized how legal, beautiful, intelligent you are. I'm not asking you to forgive me now, think a little, fondly, in every word I'm saying, Amanda.

I was really out of reaction and at the end of the song My Generation, Roger kissed me on the face long.

I looked at him, not knowing what to say.

"I do not know what to say," I told him.

"Do not say anything now if you do not want to, Mandy. I'll wait as long as it takes for your forgiveness, "Roger said, looking at me.

Roger then me loose and let me alone, thoughtful, if I should really forgive him Roger, after so long.

To be continued.
