"Come on come with me to Chicago think of it as a mini holiday just for the weekend."

"I don't know I need to open my shop I'd lose three days I can't keep not opening it."

"How much do you make a day?"

"About six hundred on a good day."

"Fine, I'll give you two thousand to come with me."

"I'm not a whore. I'm also not at your beck n call Norman. I'm trying to run a business."

"I want you in Chicago with me. I want you to meet my two best friends. I want them to meet the woman I love."

"Fine but no money Norman I'll just suffer the loss instead. Oh god, I shouldn't have had those eggs this morning." She runs to the bathroom.

"Babe those eggs were fine. I'm not feeling sick."

"I don't know I haven't eaten since yesterday. But you're a cast iron stomach nothing upsets you."

"True I've eaten Mingus's cooking."

"How's the little bugger anyway?"

"He's good only another two months until he's back with me."

"Not that you're counting and that means we have two months together."

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm not I'm staying in Senoia it's my home."

"Well come with me to New York."

"Don't ask me to give up what I love. I've made a home here. I can't just up and move back to New York and close my business a business that is doing well, I wouldn't ask you to stay don't ask me to leave."

"So as of November we're over?"

"No. We can figure it out. Lauren does it with her boyfriend I can with mine I need to try."

"Your boyfriend huh? Am I your boyfriend?"

"Well if you want to be I don't know what we are."

"Well, you're my girl. So before we got sidetracked with New York are you coming with me to Chicago?"

"Yeah, sure I will. Never been before."

"You probably won't see much we leave on Friday come back Sunday, you'll be by yourself I hope you won't mind."

"Yeah conventions?"

"Well I stand at a desk for about seven hours talking to my fans signing whatever they have I used to do photos at the table but they stopped that. I also do what's called photo ops with the public."

"Sounds long."

"It can be."

"Well, then I'll look after you when you go back to the hotel." She comes around and sits on my lap.

"Look after me?"

"Yeah relax you make you feel good." Kissing and biting my neck.

"Babe I thought you weren't feeling good you were just sick."

"Yeah but I feel better now."

"Well don't want you being sick now do I."
