Sammy and Susie: A Studio Love Story

Old Friend

Sammy had Susie over at his house today, but for a different reason. Sammy needed help getting his apartment ready and set up for his best friend coming to town, so he called up Susie and the two we're setting up the apartment.

"I didn't know you had a friend coming over?" Susie asked as she set the coffee table up.

Sammy chuckled. He knew Susie would be surprised he had a friend way before the studio, and wasn't the serious guy who never had any friends growing up. "Yep, his name is Jerry." He said. "We went to the same music school, and well we just became close friends, you'll like him."

Susie smiled. "I hope so too." She said. As they finished setting up Sammy heard a knock on the door. With a small smile, Sammy opened the door and saw a young man.

The man had light brown hair and green eyes. He wore a plaid sweater vest over a white shirt, long brown pants and fancy shoes. "Hey there Sammy." The man said with his thick Brooklyn accent.

"Hey Jerry!" Sammy said smiling at the man who was in front of the door. "Come on in." Sammy let Jerry in. Susie came by and stood next to Sammy. "Um Jerry, this is my girlfriend, Susie Campbell."

Susie smiled and held her hand out. "Nice to meet you Jerry." She said. Jerry looked at her hand, and at Susie, and slowly shook it.

"Nice to meet you too." Jerry replied. His tone of voice changed from being happy to being disappointed. Susie frowned a bit, but shook it off thinking it was nothing.

"You'll like her Jerry, I promise." Sammy said. "Now you two just sit down and relax, I'm going to get some snacks for you two." He said leaving a kiss on Susie's cheek, making her giggle.

Once Sammy left, Jerry who was glaring at her faced Susie. Susie felt the silence around her making it awkward for her. "So Jerry, how long you and Sammy known each other?" She asked.

Jerry just glared at her. Susie nervously chuckled, as she rubbed the back of her head. Susie had to think of another question, and fast because the awkwardness was making her feel uneasy. "Let me get this straight." Jerry spoke. "Your Sammy's girlfriend?"

Susie smiled. "Yes." She said. Jerry then started laughing hard, Susie was still smiling not sure if she should react badly or laugh with him. "W-What's so funny?"

Jerry stopped laughing and smirked at Susie. "You." He replied.

"Me?"

"Yeah, I'm surprised Sammy picked a girl like you." Jerry said, quite rudely. Susie was stunned hearing the tone of his voice.

"Is that a good thing or?" Susie questioned.

"Good thing?" Jerry replied laughing a bit. "Either Sammy is blind or he begged you to be is girlfriend."

Susie was fuming, she hated when people acted rudely to her, even if they we're friends of her co-workers or not. "Hey, Sammy's had a crush on me since I worked here." Susie replied.

"Well, it's my time with Sammy and you should just drop it." Jerry said getting up into Susie's face. She was ready to punch him, but Jerry stopped her. "Ah. Ah. Ah. Sammy told me all about you in his letter, imagine how he'll feel if his own girlfriend punched his best friend." He explained.

Susie stopped and slowly put her fist down. Jerry smirked seeing Susie back down, and Susie Campbell never backs down from anything. "Thought so." He said.

Susie could of said more, but Sammy came back smiling with a tray of sandwiches in his hands. "Here you go you too." Sammy said. He put his arm around Susie, making her smile and calm down a bit.
