How We Got Together
by Dawn

 

 

"It was a dark and stormy night..."

You can't start that way. It's stupid.

It's accurate. It was a dark and stormy night.

It's redundant. If it's night and storming it will be dark. Besides it's stupid.

Who's writing this? When you write your version you can write what you want.

This is my version.

What? We were both supposed to write our own personal version of how we got together.

I don't write. We'll use yours.

I'm not a writer either, but this is supposed to be special. Our own memories in our own words.

I'll use yours, so don't make it stupid.

Do your own then you won't have to worry about it because I'm not changing it.

Fine.

So, let's see. "It was a dark and stormy night. We had arrived at the bar in the early afternoon. We rode the bikes for it was a beautiful spring day."

It was cloudy.

It was clear when we left, it wasn't cloudy.

It was cloudy.

Then why didn't we take the jeep?

You wanted to ride.

I wouldn't have if I thought it was going to rain.

You were in a mood, you wanted to ride.

Merde! Why don't you write this?

I don't wanna. You write it.

Then stop arguing all the time.

Then get it right.

It is right.

Fine.

Okay, okay. What next? "We were just hanging out, drinking beer, playing pool. I was winning..."

No you weren't.

Then why were you buying?

Getting you drunk.

Are you telling me you were trying to take advantage of me?

Yes.

Oh.

Yeah. Keep writing. Change that part.

Non.

No what?

I'm not changing it. You were losing.

Fine. Keep your little fantasies.

But I like to share my fantasies. You like it when I do.

Yeah...Stop that. Keep writing.

You're no fun.

That's not what you said this morning.

Stop arguing with me and you'll be fun now.

No. Write. Now.

Non, I'll finish later.

I have to go later. We have to do this now.

That's why I want to do this now.

Not this! We need to write this now. I don't want her bugging me.

Tell her I'm working on it.

Work on it now. The sooner you're done the sooner we can...Stop that.

Okay. Work, work, work. No fun.

Write.

"We weren't close friends or even pals, but we did enjoy going out drinking together. We were drinking, pool playing buddies."

I liked you.

I never said you didn't.

That sounds like I just wanted in your pants and didn't care.

That night I thought you just wanted in my pants, fine by me, I wanted in yours.

Now you sound like a slut. I cared.

Cher, I know you cared now but then we never really talked, never acted on our feelings. Then we were fighting the attraction and decided to finally act on it.

You didn't know I liked you?

Not like I liked you. I wanted you any way I could get you, even for one night.

Well, I did care.

I know that now. Hell, by the time we got home the next morning I know. I fell in love with you that night.

Really?

Really.

Still, it sounds bad.

It has a happy ending.

How are you going to get there? This has to be rated G.

Well, instead of saying - wait, you'll see.

Finish.

"The night continued in much the same way, not much talking, a lot of drinking, but something was different. There was a chemistry between us that was never there before."

Lust, impatience.

Love, wanting.

I like that.

We still have it.

Yeah. Lust, impatience.

Love.

That too.

You say the sweetest things.

Finish. Now. My "chemistry" is rising.

I can fix that.

Finish. Now.

Okay. What happened next?

I grabbed you ass.

G rating.

That's what happened.

Trust me, I remember that. I loved that part, but we need to find a way to make it less graphic.

Huh. Beats me.

We'll leave that part out.

Too bad, good part.

We'll be leaving out all of the good parts. Maybe we can recreate them?

Finish.

How about..."We were so aware of each other we know the night was different then any other we had spent together before."

But not since.

"It was time to go but we were reluctant to leave, afraid that something would change."

I was afraid you'd sober up.

I wasn't drunk.

You acted like it.

I wasn't, but you kept putting you hands on me so I pretended. I was afraid you'd stop if you thought I was sober.

I wouldn't have, but it was easier because you were drunk.

I wasn't.

You think I couldn't tell?

Maybe a little buzzed.

A lot.

A little.

Drunk.

On your touch.

Ha. Okay, fine. You were drunk on my touch. Finish and we'll see how drunk I can get you.

Motivation.

Yeah. Hurry.

"When we finally left the bar we noticed the storm and decided not to risk the ride home."

Oh yeah, we are just so careful.

You said you didn't want to ride home in the storm.

The rain could have sobered you up and I might have lost my nerve at the mansion.

Afraid you would chicken out?

No. I might have changed my mind.

I should have jumped you ass years ago.

Should have. Finish.

What? You don't want me to change it?

I don't care what kind of drivel you write. JUST FINISH!

Yes Sir!

Smartass.

You like my smartass.

Oh yeah.

I like you arrogant ass.

Yeah?

Oh yeah. A whole lot.

Finish and you can like it up close and personal.

Promise?

Threat.

I like that even better.

You'll like what I do to your smartass even more.

How to finish this? "We decided to stay in town and spent the night talking for the first time. It was a talk that changed our entire relationship and we have been together ever since. The End." Done.

So, you wanna talk?

 

 

THE END
