Give Me Love

Chapter 6

Andie’s POV

 

I don’t know what the hell happened last night with Jimmy, but I was clearly wasted. I remember getting a call from A.D. saying I could start the job Monday and Jimmy told A.D., Mike, Gavin Purcell, Pat Borelli, and Questlove, Tariq, and Kamal from The Roots all came down to the bar to celebrate. Jimmy and Gavin kept ordering round after round, and I drank from every round. Last memory of mine was the 5th round when I was trying to learn how to rap with Tariq.

 

I rolled off the couch and on to the floor, unknowingly. Why was I on the couch? I rubbed my stomach, because I fell tummy first and it hurt, and began looking for my phone. It wasn’t around the couch area, so I headed to the kitchen. My Aunt left me some breakfast and my phone was sitting on the counter next to it. I sat down and began eating, before grabbing my phone to check it. 3 new messages.

“Andie from Pretty in Pink! It’s Jimmy. I put my number in your phone last night I hope that’s alright.”

“I drove you to your aunt’s place last night because you were pretty drunk haha. Gavin, Kamal, and Tariq all needed rides home. We haven’t had a night like that in a while, so thanks for that.”

“Sorry, you're probably sleeping right now I’ll let you rest, pal! Congratulations again, we’re gonna have so much fun working together! :)”

What a sweetheart.

“Hi Jimmy! Thanks so much for the lift, I’m sorry you had to take my drunk ass home. Tell Tariq I’ll try to spit some rhymes for him Monday!”

I pressed send and walked my plate over to the empty sink. My phone sounded off and I walked back over to the counter to check it.

“Good morning! No way it was my pleasure. I’m so stoked to have you on the team. A.D. showed me some of your stuff.. TOO GOOD!”

“Really?!!!?” No, delete that. Sounds too teenage.

“I’m stoked to be on the team! And I’m so happy you think I’m good!”

“Are you kidding me, so good! I told Nancy I saw you last night, she wants to hang out with you today.. I’ll text you her cell. I have to go get Winnie ready for the day, I’ll call you tonight?”

“Yeah yeah sure. Thanks again, Jim.”

“Any time, Andie from Pretty In Pink. I’m always here when you need me.”

I usually hated when people referenced Pretty in Pink to me. It was so stupid and even my own mother admitted it. But when Jimmy says it, it brings a whole other meaning to it.

I texted Nancy and she wants to meet up at San Marino in the city. I grabbed my car keys and headed out. Traffic got backed up in the Holland Tunnel, and the music on the radio sucked. I changed to every station and nothing was good on they were on commercial break, so I left on some crap that sounded semi-alright.

“Baby, I seen the chick you're with, wish that I never did

Freakin' perfect and five foot ten, just wanna punch her lip

'Cause I know I've been wasting time trying to catch your eye

Yeah I know that I been so blind thinking that I'm your type

I wish I was tall, I wish I was fast

Wish I could shop with a bag full of cash
