Suck it and see

meet at the master's

„Uhhhh...you're wearing your good undies!!“
„Sam! What are you doing here!“
„Searching for a hairbrush“
Abby sighed and handed her grinning friend a brush. Abby stood in her small bathroom only wearing underware, and Sam was right, indeed it was her best and favourite.
„And? Do you want to stay here and watch me how I get ready or do you want to make us some coffee?“ she said and looked over her shoulder, looking at Samantha, who still smirked at her.
„You look hot!“
„Thanks darlin' but I would prefer hot coffee now“
„He will eat you“
„Sam!!“
„I bet you'll spend the next night at his' !“
Abby sighed deep and turned back to the mirror to apply her eyeliner and usual red lipstick.
Sam sat down on the closed toiletseat and looked up to her half naked best friend.
„I won't talk about him with you! And you promised me, you will not tell anyone anything!!“
„Yes...I knoooow...but still, you'll meet Alex Turner....again!!!“
„Yes...and? He's some guy, ok. And I'm not gonna treat him like Jesus, just because he's in some band“
„Some band...Not just some band! He's -“
„Stop it! Seriously, I can't hear it anymore. He's some silly guy with a even more silly band, and you should be the last one to be excited about him“
„ok...I'm sorry...it's just not on a daily basis that my best friend takes Alex Turner home to her you see“
„How about we just don't talk about him, ok“
„Good...by the way the coffee is already waiting for you, m'i Lady“ Samantha said and got up, giving her friend a quick kiss on her cheek while she applied mascara „I'm sure it's gonna be a nice evening“ and went out, giving Abby place to get dressed.
Abby had to smile to herself, she knew Sam would not tell anyone, she was a fangirl and hyped, but she would not do anything that would hurt Abby or do anything against her wil.
They were best friends and spent a lot of time together and Abby knew that she could always count on Sam, even though she was probably more excited because of Alex, than Abby herself was.
She took on some nice clothes, because she would go see Alex, if he would hopefully come, but she was pretty sure about that, after her last lesson in University.
She wasn't afraid of the test, she knew she had learned everything there was, most of it during the train ride with Alex and then again in the last night, first with him, then again helping Sam. Abby wasn't angry or pissed at her friend, Sam couldn't know that she had company, she was just a little dissapointed that the night did not turn out as she might wanted it to, but she was sure, that Alex had the same in his mind, how this days could turn out.

Alex took the underground to get to their meetingplace. He knew taking his bike or car wouldn't be a good idea because he would probably not get a parkingspot in hundred years. He was surprised that there were hardly any people recognising him, but he was glad about it actually, he did not want attention, at least not from the people around him, but from one certain person who would hopefully show up, if he was at the right place.
He walked over the Millenium bridge and checked the time, he was early, good.
The wind was sharp and cold and the rain falling from the sky did not really make things better. But he was no complaining person, he took things as they were if they couldn't be changed, and for seing Abby again, he would probably jump into the Thamse without questioning.
He did not think of bringing an umbrella, in fact he did not even own one, so his hair was wet, not yet destroyed, his hair gel did a good job in keeping his hair in place. But his leatherjaket was not as good against the rain as he had hoped.
Never mind, he thought, as long as she'll show up everythings fine.
He has never really been there, he thought as he stood in front of the building, looking at it's round shape and imagine how it must have looked at elisabethan times.
He wondered why she want to meet exactly there, because at this evening the venue had closed, but he figured she probably had a plan, that would hopefully continue where they had to stop last night because of her friend Samantha.
Somehow Alex thought the place fitted: The Globe Theatre, Shakespeare's workingplace more or less and where his plays were shown back then and after building it new, also today. He liked the idea, he liked her. And so Alex stood across the entry of the theatre, so he could have the whole place in his eyes so he would see immediately when she would come.
It was already getting dark, and the heavy rain clouds made the sky even darker. The rain got a little heavier and he hoped she would come soon.

It took another ten minutes and he finally saw a familiar figure getting near, holding a small umbrella over her head.
She did not walk like most people in the rain who walk lowered, their head facing the ground, not looking up and trying to get out of it as quick as possible, she walked different, her back straight up, her heels not trying to get around puddles, she walked with a constant balance through them, her face was not turned downwards, she looked around, reigning the weather as if it was only raining because she wanted it like that, he liked what she sensed out; elegance and a certain controle.
When she was only some feet away Alex couldn't fool himself, he was excited and happy, that she was there.
He stood under a lantern and waved at her so she would see him.
Abby stepped in front of Alex and put the small umbrella over his head as well, which forced her to stand really close to him.
„Hey lil' cigarette thief“ he greeted her and got a warm smile in return, together with a tight hug from her. „Hey arctic stripper“ she said and then gave him a kiss on his cheek before she hooked one arm through his and looked at him. He looked even more handsome than the day before and she imagined how he would look, if it wasn't water, but sweat running down his face after what she might had in mind. Alex laughed by he comment and looked at the closed building in front of them.
„So...seems like the master has already closed...“
„Yes...well...I know, they're always closed on mondays. But I got an idea. Right now they are playing Romeo and Juliet somewhere else, not far away. And because you got some steps further in making a fan of you arctic strippers out of me, I would love to kidnap you to have  something shakesperian“ 
„Box office?“
„Exactly“
„Romeo and Juliet?“
Abby noded and looked ecpectant at him.
Alex smiled and noded „Of course! How could I say no?!“
He could see that she was relieved about his reaction.
She started walking, the umbrella over them and being pressed close against his side, their arms still hooked „So you figured it out“
Alex smiled „You did not think I would right?“
Abby grinned „Well...just wanted to see if you'll get the shakespeare hint.
„Speaking of Shakespeare, how was the test?“
„It was ok. Sam was a little panicing and obviously after meeting the oh so great Alex Turner she did not really have Shakespeare in mind to be honest.“
Alex smirked „Yes...I saw that last night...I hope she recovered from the first shock“
„I believe so“

They kept on walking in silence for some minutes until they reached a small theatre entrance in some alleyway.
They got inside and half an hour later Alex found himself next to Abby in the theatre, waiting for the play to start. A modern interpretation of Shakespeare's probably most famous work.
He looked at her and noticed that her dark red hair became curly because of the rain and he thought it was really beautiful.
They did not really need words and both were glad that in fact they were not forced to fill the silence up with useless words like smalltalk.
Both enjoyed being there together and in fact Alex has never been to a theatre with a girl and he was actually really looking foreward to the following play.
Abby saw that her idea was good, that he did not concider it as boring and really gave it a go.
By the time the curtain lifted and the prologue stated, Alex's hand had found it's way to her thigh, and let it rest on top of it, she allowed him, enjoying the small touch and concentrating on the play.
Abby looked at him from time to time, to find him following the dialogues and scenes with all his mind, she could see, he liked it.
