Jealousy - Stone Gossard

"So this guy, Eddie, what's he like?" I ask Dave, who is sitting on the couch in my tiny living room. I give him a beer and take the seat next to him.

"He's quiet, but I guess he's alright. You'll find out tonight, though." Dave comments before taking a swig of his beer.

I give him a confused look, "What about tonight?"

"Oh, Stone didn't tell you? We're gonna practise tonight and thought it'd be nice to invite you and Becky, to meet Eddie."

I nod, "That sounds nice! I'm curious to see who that beautiful voice belongs to." I say and we both start laughing.

I am surprised Stone didn't tell me, though. He always tells me everything. I assume Mike told Becky immediately.

Dave and I used to share an apartment together, that's how I got to know the other guys from Mookie Blaylock and that's also how Stone and I got to know each other.

When Stone and I got together, I decided I was in for my own apartment. Dave understood and now he lives in our old apartment with his girlfriend.

"Hey Krusen, I think I'm gonna take a shower and get ready for tonight then. What time am I expected?" I ask as Dave finishes his beer.

"Just make sure you're ready at 6. I'll tell Stone to come and pick you up."

I nod in agreement and Dave and I let Dave out after saying goodbye.

It's now 3:45 PM, which means I've got plenty of time left to get ready and eat something. But me being me, am I too lazy to cook something, so I decided to go out to the pizzeria around the corner of my apartment.

Just before I leave my apartment, the phone rings. I get back in the living room and answer the phone.

"Hello?

"Hey Darlin', wanna grab some food?"

"Hey Steno, yeah 'course. I was just gonna head out to the pizzeria actually. Meet me there in 10?"

"Sure thing, see you then babe."

"Seee ya."

I hang up with a smile on my face. Recently Stone and I haven't had the chance to be together very often due to the band meetings and then they finally got their singer, so it was a nice idea to grab dinner with him again.

After about a two minute walk I make it to the pizzeria and get a table for two. Not too long after that Stone arrives and when he spots me a smile spreads across his face.

"Hi dear," he says before pecking my lips and taking the seat opposite from me.

"Hi love, I've missed you."

"I know, I've missed you, too." he smiles.

Soon after we order something to drink and our pizza's. The pizza's arrive, along with the drinks very quickly and we both dig in.

We just talk about how things are going and I ask him why he didn't invite me for tonights practice. He looks up with a guilty look and tells me he completely forgot due to the fact that he's a bit stressed out lately, because of the band and also because of work.

I tell him it's not a problem and he shouldn't worry about it, because I know he's stressed. And besides that, it's humane to forget something every once in a while. We both laugh it off and continue our delicious meal.

Afterwards we go back to my place and both get ready. Stone has enough clothes at my place to survive for a month.

In the meantime Stone got called by Dave, who told him he should pick me up, Stone explains he's already with me and we laugh a bit.
