Excerpt
The view from my
office was spectacular. It was a beautiful clear day, the sky was a
brilliant blue and while most people would have cursed having to
work, I was still smiling. Line five on my desk phone lit up.
My personal line. I picked up the receiver knowing who it would be.
A familiar voice spoke in my ear.
“Mr Elkin.”
I chuckled
into the phone. “Mr Jones.” It was the third phone call that day.
“Don’t you have enough to do?”
“Oh, I have plenty,” Cooper
answered. “But you haven’t agreed yet.”
“I told you it wasn’t really my
scene,” I told him again. “Why don’t you take one of your other
friends?”
“You mean younger friends,”
he replied. “I don’t want any of them to come with me. I want you
to come with me.”
Cooper had two tickets to see some
god-awful too-loud band at Madison Square Garden, and right or wrong
he wanted me to go with him.
“Is this not something we could
discuss over dinner?”
“I like annoying you at work,”
he said cheerfully. “Usually if I pester you enough, you’ll just
agree with me to shut me up.”
I groaned. “Is that a skill you
work on, or is it a natural-born talent?”
“It’s a Gen Y thing.”
“It’s a Cooper Jones thing.”
He chuckled into
the phone. Then his tone of voice changed to a playful
whisper. “Come on, baby. You know you want to. It’s Linkin Park.
They’re my favourite.”
“Lincoln who?”
He burst out laughing
this time, and I sighed. “I’ll talk to you about it
tonight,” I told him. “Will you come over?”
“That depends.” I could tell he
was still smiling.
“On what?”
“On you saying yes to the
concert.”
“I have a lot to do today…”
“Then agree with me.”
“Goodbye, Cooper.”
I hung up, still smiling, and not
even half a minute later, my private line lit up again. I pressed the
flashing button and laughed. “All right, I’ll go with you if it
will shut you up so I can get some work done.”
Except Cooper didn’t laugh. There
was only silence. I quickly checked the line to confirm it was on my
personal line and not a business call, just as another familiar voice
said, “Excuse me?”
Shit.
Author Bio –
I
am many things; a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer.
I
have pretty, pretty boys who live in my head, who don’t let me
sleep at night unless I give them life with words.
I
like it when they do dirty, dirty things…but I like it even more
when they fall in love.
I
used to think having people in my head talking to me was weird, until
one day I happened across other writers who told me it was normal.
I’ve
been writing ever since…
Where
can you find me?
