“Tell him to call me. It would be nice to discuss a fee.”
“I’ll give him your number.”
“Good night, Stark.”
“Good night.”
I walk over to Candy’s desk and make a big show of looking at my wrist.
“What are you doing?” says Candy.
“Looking at my watch.”
“You don’t have a watch. You barely have socks.”
“I’m supposed to be hinting about the time. Julie’s request.”
“Oh.”
Candy glances at Julie’s office.
“I guess I lost track of time.”
“It’s cool,” says Alessa. “I don’t want to get you in trouble with your boss.”
She gets up. Candy comes from around the desk and gives her a hug.
“Call me tomorrow?”
“Yeah. Let’s figure out a time to get the whole band together.”
“Great.”
Alessa tosses her noodles into the trash and heads for the stairs.
“See you around, Stark.”
I give her a wave.
“You too.?
?
Candy comes over and kisses me hard.
“Isn’t this the best thing ever? We might be an actual band with an actual guitarist.”
“You’re a guitarist.”
“I’m a guitar player. I know three chords. Alessa is a guitarist. Big difference.”
“Well, I hope it all works out and you get to work together.”
“Me too.”
“You need a ride home?”
She shakes her head.
