I Want You

('I Want You': Part 2)

The phone rang loudly, interrupting his supper.
Picking it up, he pressed the 'on' button: "Hello?"
"Hello, dahling, how are you?"
"Oh, hello Colby dear, i was actually just in the middle of eating my home-made dinner"
She laughed lightly. "*You* actually made supper all by yourself?"
"Well, not exactly....but i heated it up in the micro-oven by myself, aren't you proud of me?" he asked, smiling to himself.
She giggled. "Of course i am, Dazzy! May i ask what gourmet meal you're dining on tonight?"
"Macaroni and cheeze a la Darren" he admitted proudly.
Married for 5 and a half years, and only recently divorced from one another, Colby and Darren were still close friends, and in all the years that she had known him, he had *never* been one to cook.
"I see....listen, i was calling to ask you how the filming for your video went yesterday?"
"Oh yes, the video! For I want you, you mean, right?"
"Well, yes, unless there's another video that you guys filmed yesterday that i don't know about" she said in her usual cheerful voice.
"Haha, no no, it was just that one, and *believe* me, that was enough work by itself!"
"I can imagine" she commented. "But you did at least *enjoy* yourselves during the whole process?"
"Of course we did, Colby. It was actually quite interesting the way the director managed to capture a certain mysterious air to it....i thought it was gonna be more, well, poppy i guess"
She laughed. "Poppy? Another new word of yours?"
He smiled. "Well, by poppy, i mean that i had pictured the video to be more bouncy and casual, you know?"
"Hmm, yes. Well, anyhow, i'm glad to hear that all went all for you, and i can't wait to see it on tv...what day is it airing?"
"Uh....i think Nigel had told me that its' very first airing day would be this upcoming friday, around 7:30"
"Alright, i'll be sure to tape it! Well, i'll let you go now, Dazzy. Have a good sleep and say hi to Daniel for me, alright?"
Darren sipped his pepsi. "I will, Colby. Night then, bye"
"Good night, Darren"

After he hung up the phone, he quickly finished eating his somewhat cold supper and then picked up the phone again and called Daniel just as he said he would:
"Hello, Danny boy, how are you feeling?"
There was a sigh from Daniel, almost like a sigh of relief. "Oh, not too bad Darren, how about you?"
"Well, i just got a call from Colby, and she was asking me about the new video and all, you know, the usual Colby questions" he said with a friendly laugh.
"Oh, so how is she doing?"
"Good. And, she says hello to you, as always"
"Alright, well tell her i say hi back whenever you next speak with her" he replied with a smile.
"I will. Ah, dammit, tomorrow morning we gotta get up early again....arh! I'm getting so damn sick and tired of not being able to sleep in anymore" he said in a voice that Daniel found to be angry, yet cute at the same time.
"Ah, Darren. I've gotten used to it by now, why haven't *you*?" he asked, laughing.
"Heaven only knows"
Then, Daniel could hear what sounded like footsteps that were presumably Darren's. "Where are you walking to?"
"Oh, i was just walking over to my stereo to play some U2 stuff, you know, to break the silence of the room"
"Oh, that surely surprises me, Darren" he said with obvious sarcasm. "What cd are you gonna play by them?"
More footsteps, and then the sound of cd cases being moved around. "Ah hell, why don't i just play the greatest hits one"
"That's it, play *all* the songs in one"
"Oh, can you hold on a sec? I have a beep"
"Sure"
After about a minute, Darren's voice popped back on the line, startling Daniel.
"Hey Danny, that was Ben. He asked when our next band practice was, so i told him that *you* might know, so he'll be calling you shortly" Daniel sighed. "Alright then, but good God, what do i tell him? I don't know when our next rehearsal is"
"haha, well, mr. jones, it's up to *you* now to decide, so when you feel the need to rehearse, just let us all know"
"Very funny, Darren" he said with a smile. "Well, my line is beeping, and it's most likely Ben, so i'll see you in the morning"
"Ok, Danny. Night then" CLICK.

more soon. promise.
