Coffee, tea? Or me?

HAD SOME DRINKS- Part I

HAD SOME DRINKS

I've been around, brought you down, it's true

I had some drinks and said some things to you

If I said too much, I know you're mine to lose

Don't give a fuck, yeah actually I do.

I

Lucy grabbed two cans of Pepsi from the fridge and walked to the sofa where James was sitting ordering some takeaway pizza.

"Get three pizzas, please," she said, sitting with her legs crossed.

"Are you around your period again?" He asked.

Lucy shoved him and mocked a laugh.

"No dummy, very funny! It's for Ian."

James looked up at her.

"Ian as in my agent?"

Lucy nodded, busying herself with her can.

"Why is Ian coming over?" He asked, bemused.

Lucy cleared her throat.

"Well, the nominations are today and we thought we could watch the ceremony...plus he wants to check on you in person."

James put his phone down.

"Lucy, you should know that's the last thing I want to be watching today..."

Lucy squeezed his hand.

"People make mistakes James but you've been owning up to yours brilliantly..."

James scoffed, Lucy continued.

"James, your interviews have been so well received! I know you've done really well at distancing yourself from the situation but you've also missed out on all the support you've been getting."

"So?"

"So maybe there is a chance." Then, to reinforce her position she added: "Ian thinks so too."

James looked at her with dismay.

"So you two have been conspiring?" He asked, incredulous.

"No, well yes but only because we care about you!"

James sighed heavily.

"Is this why you proposed pizza for lunch? To console me with greasy cheese when I actually turn out to be right?"

Lucy chuckled.

"And ice cream," she said. "And I promise I will reward you very highly if you turn out to be right," she added with a mischievous smile.

James scoffed, with a grin.

"Well, now I really hope I'm right".

As they got lost in a deep kiss the doorbell rang, James reluctantly let her go and Lucy fixed herself before opening the door.

"Hello Lucy, it's nice to see you," said Ian walking through the door.

Lucy reciprocated the greeting and leaned for a quick pack on the cheek.

"I see you two got quite familiar," noted James as he stood up.

"Oh relax," replied the agent taking off his coat. "I'm a married man."

James rolled his eyes and walked to greet him.

"That's not what I meant," he said as the two shook hands.
