"HOLY FUCK IS IT WHO CAN ANNOY PEARL BEFORE LUNCHTIME DAY TODAY OR
SOMETHING ?!?" I snap.
- "Well, I wasn't aware that was actually a thing, but if it is, I'm in."
Woah, American accent. Deep, male, American accent. In this office. Who the
fuck just spoke ? I drag myself up off the floor, ready to confront the
arrogant voice who just backed a day solely aimed at pissing me off-
"Well sorry to disappoint, but that isn't a thing and even it were, I really
would LOVE to see you try you smug yank bast- OH SHIT YOU'RE SHANNON LETO."
My eyes didn't meet his until mid way through my rant, and so when I locked
eyes with who it actually was, lets just say mortified doesn't even cover it.
- "Yeah, I am Shannon Leto, last time I checked, but no, I'm not smug, not
all the time anyway, nor am I a Yank bastard, just for future reference" He
said it with such seriousness but the massive, shit eating grin he was
sporting told me he was enjoying my extreme embarrassment.
"Ok, firstly, sorry about the smug Yank bastard thing, but I did stop mid
flow, so technically ? I'd say I dodged that, and secondly, please excuse me
for just a minute whilst I go and have a mild panic attack at the fact I just
NEARLY insulted a member of one of my favourite bands."
It was at this point I noticed Jared and Tomo behind Shannon who had just
watched this cartoon-like scene unfold, before their very eyes. I have to
greet them... SAY SOMETHING TO THEM IDIOT, YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING MORON.
"Jared ! Tomo !" I chime, ignoring my inner monologue "Hows it hanging
fellas?" -- HOWS IT HANGING ? FELLAS ? OH JESUS, I'M ASHAMED TO CALL YOU
MY PHYSICAL, SPEAKING VOICE.
"We're good thank-you Pearl, beautiful name by the way. Having a bad day are
we ?" Jared said.
"Thanks, my names kind of old, but I've grown to love it. And yeah, its not
going great, all told, spilled coffee on my brand new phone, there are papers
floating round eveywhere, I'm late for a meeting, and I just blew up at the
best drummer in the fucking world. I'd give it a 1/10 at present."
-"Oh shit, you insult me, then you kill me with kindness. My kind of woman"
Shannon says, without a hint of sarcasm.
"Careful Shannon, she might lose it again and start throwing punches" I heard
a now cackling Tomo say as I was bending down to retreive the sea of papers
