The next morning
A door slams.
" I knew it!!!".
It was natalie!!!.
" your a liar!, a pathetic, sneaky little liar!".
Me: "what is she doing here?". I scaredly say.
"I LIVE HERE, WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS WHY ARE YOU HERE I CANT BELIVE I BOUGHT YOUR BULLSHIT "She's morning, just some girl that I worked with, she's not even pretty" WELL AT LEAST YOU WERE BEING HONEST ABOUT ONE THING".
Me: "you...u said that?".
Jack: "no I didn't".
Natalie: "yes you did!!".
Jack: "look I'm sorry could you just give me some time-?"
Me: "your asking me to leave?!".
Jack: "no!".
Natalie: "Yes you! I'm the fiancé!".
Me: "you told me you broke it off with her".
Jack: "I did!".
Natalie: "you thought he would brake up with me over the phone?".
Me: "I'm out of here, you told me it was over".
Jack: "no Ali- Ali please!".
Me: "what jack?".
Jack: "I am sorry".
Me: "so am I".
I leave his apartment and goes to Sean's apartment for company.
I knock on the door.
Me: "oh sorry, I must have the wrong apartment."
This man says: "who are you looking for?".
Me: "I'm looking for Sean?".
This man says: "Sean.. what's he look like?".
Me: "shaved head, brown eyes, glasses?".
This man says: "ohhh! Sean! I've been calling him John?".
Me: "uh it's defiantly Sean".
This man takes me into the apartment and shows me a man in a bed fast asleep. It's Sean.
The man says: "is this him?".
Me: "yep".
Sean then wakes up: "oh hey! What are you doing here?".
Me: "it's a long story, I shouldn't have come here I see I've obviously interrupted something might be a bad time".
Sean: "no that's okay I'm sorry Ali did you meet uh...mike?".
The man says: "close my name is mark".
Me: "uh hi mark, umm does anybody want a coffee?".
They both nod.
Sean: "sorry did I call u Mike last night?".
Mark: "yes aha, but I called you John soo".
Sean: "really?".
Mark: "you liked it".
Sean: "John was my mother's name".
Then we al hear a knock at the door. It's Marcus.
Marcus: "hey".
Me: "Hi".
Marcus: "you okay? You sound down?".
Me: "I've been better".
Marcus: "well I have just the cure".
Me: "what's that?".
Marcus: "me, why don't you come over for dinner?".
Me: "ok well-"
Sean: "byeee".
We leave.
Then Sean gets a knock on the door. It's Jack.
Jack: "is Ali here?".
Sean: "Ali left, she went with Marcus".
Jack: "is that true?".
Mark: "yeah".
Sean: "she left a couple of hours ago, I told you that opportunity wouldn't knock forever".
Jack: "your right, it doesn't".
Back at Marcus's place.
Marcus: "I hope your hungry, the steaks are on".
Me: "what is this".
Marcus: "right now it's a model when it grows up it will be a multi-use-space, residential, retail..".
Me: "but this is the address of the Burlesaue lounge?".
Marcus: "best view on sunset strip.. with no windows, when I'm through with it it'll have a thousand".
Me: "does Tess know about this?".
Marcus: "Tess knows I've made an offer to buy her space".
Me: "what makes you think she's ever sell?".
Marcus: "I don't think she has a choice, she's going under, I've made a very generous offer it's a win-win situation for everyone, it's buisness baby, not personal".
Me: "I think it's very personal for Tess, and for coco and for Sean and- what about me?".
Marcus: "hey hey hey listen there are other clubs that you can sing and Dance In, better ones".
Me: starting to cry "you don't get it".
Marcus: "I don't understand, I'm trying to do something that benefits everyone, how does that make me the bad guy?".
Me: "it doesn't Marcus, it just makes you the wrong guy".
I then leave his house and go back to the club.
Me: "Tess! I gotta talk to you!".
Tess: "honey not right now".
Me: "Marcus is gonna tear down the club and build a skyscraper".
Tess: "and how do you know this".
Me: "I saw the model".
Tess: "I didnt know that you and Marcus was that close".
Me: "were not that close, I rushed over here so I could tell you".
Tess: "don't you think your spreading yourself a bit too thin? Jack, Marcus or whatever".
Me: "Tess I'm trying to help you!".
Tess: "Ali let it go".
Me: "she's gotta listen to me?!".
I see tess go into her office so I follow myself in.
Me: "Tess I GOTTA talk to you".
Tess: "you could knock, this is still my office for 48 hours".
Me: "well then you really need to hear me out".
Tess: "no I don't want to hear you out".
Me: "ugh! Do you ever listen to anything other than the sound of your own voice?!".
Tess pauses for a bit.
Tess: "talk".
Me: "have you ever heard of air rights?".
Tess: "no I've never heard of air rights what are air rights..".
