Another Story About This Subject, chapter 3
Joey's POV
I stumbled into the kitchen, I hate mornings, expecially Monday mornings.
"Hey." Mark said from his seat at the kitchen table, I replied with a small wave and looked in the fridge.
"Damn nothing in here." I say to myself.
"Speaking of nothing, you have told me nothing 'bout this chick your dating."
"I'm not dating her."
"Yes you are."
"We just met!"
He shrugged, "I can tell you like her anyway." he muttered.
"How?"
"You had the happy look on your face."
"What happy look? Are you on crack?"
"The look I haven't seen for a while, your always frustrated and last night was the only time I've seen you smile in a while."
I sighed, "Yeah I know."
"Name?"
"Name what?"
"Name, what's her name?"
"Tamara." Mark choked a bit on his coffee. "What!? You have a problem with her name." Now I am starting to get pissed off.
"No it's nothing don't worry."
"Whatever." I slumped onto the chair.
"Last name?"
"I don't know!"
"You don't know!"
"Yeah!"
"You know it?!"
"No!"
There was a bit of silence. "What's with all the questions?" I ask finally.
"Well just tell me what she looks like." he says. Man what's his problem?
"Black hair with pink streaks, really dark blue eyes, 'bout this heigh (I measured with my hand in the air) and she is a punk."
He chocked again on his coffee. "What is it now?!?!" I yell, "Have you got a problem with her!"
"No dude." he says about 10 times calmer than me.
"What then, what is it?"
"Dude I think you're dating my cousin."
[b] Tam's POV <b/>
Lana and I were just sitting on the couch bored out of our minds until Amy comes in. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck, FUUUUCCCKKK!" she parades in that baseball tune.
"Why did you just do that?" Lana asks confused, I like it when there confused then I can make them pissed off easier.
"Cos I felt like it. Fuck! See?"
"Whatever."
My Sharona started playing. "Shit my phone." I say getting up and running to my room.
"Hello?" I say.
"Hey Tam"
"Hey Mark what's up?"
"Err I gotta question."
"Fire away."
"Are you dating anyone new?"
"Sorta why?"
"Cos I think you're dating my room mate."
"Is his name Joey?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah guess I am."
"Well what happened between you and Glenn." I heard him say, I sighed and sat on my bed.
"He dumped me."
"Why?!"
"Dude chill, he is just a boyfriend."
"No I mean how can he dump you, who the fuck would dump a rockstar?!"
"Errr... Glenn."
"Listen I gotta go but before I do I gotta tell you something."
"What?"
"Joey really likes you so looks like you can date again." I smiled even though no one could see me.
"Yeah and don't tell him about the band being famous and all."
"Ok."
"Kay see ya"
"Bye"
[b] Mark's POV <b/>
I hung up. I really don't like lying to family but this is something Joey has to know. I mean it would be hell if he found out by the media catching them or something. I walked into the lounge room where suprisingly I found Joey.
"Hey why aren't you at work?" I ask sitting down next to him.
"No bands are in today." He replys staring at the tv, yeah he works with his dad at Adeline Records.
"Listen Joey I gotta tell you something bout Tam."
"Yeah I know she is your cousin."
"Not that something else, something about her." He turned off the tv and faced me with a serious look on his face.
"How'd you meet?" I ask firstly.
"We ran into eachother walking down the street, typical situation, we run into eachother she drops her sheets and yeah."
"What sheets?"
"Music, she says she is in some sorta band probably a small one though."
"Joey the band is the entire reason she is in Oakland."
"Why?"
"Cos you know that new band with that song you always sing to."
"The chick band?"
"Yeah."
"What bout it?"
I breathed in, I really don't know what his reaction is gonna be. "Tam is the front girl of the band."
