Luke's Diner; Thursday [ 09/04 ]

It was another day at the diner where Cal expected things to be fairly slow and he could get a lot of reading done, alternating between his script for the play (how it had gotten so beaten up and used already was anyone's guess) and a novel. He was interested in both, especially since, if he was understudying he had two parts to learn now, but the look on his face would have a difficult time convincing anyone that he was anything except bored out of his mind.

Romeo had a vague notion Cal worked in the diner Thursdays, and a not-so-vague desire to ask him a few questions.

He took a seat at the counter around lunchtime, pleased to see he'd remembered the schedule correctly. "Good afternoon."

"I was wondering if you normally went on dates with other people's girlfriends," Romeo asked, tone suggesting he very much hoped there was a good story, there. "That's all, Cal."

Romeo was too self-absorbed to know who or if Cal dated, other than a vague sense he had something with Amber.

"Radio," he explained, relaxing just slightly at Cal's apparent utter confusion, "is of the opinion you took Dojima on a date last night. I thought I should ask you what they may have meant before taking offense." Or punching him out. Whichever.

"Their reporters are squirrels," Romeo reminded Cal, with evident relief. If he was lying, he was a far better actor than one would expect. "We ought be surprised when they get things wrong so rarely. That does sound like her; I will take you at your word."

"What sort of bet?"

"That's Yurika," Romeo agreed, sounding rather happily doomed. "I think that when she was learning English, she skipped over the word no. And she's quite good at making me think whatever we're doing was my idea."

That ... was not exactly expected, and Romeo drew back. Date or not a date, he would expect his name to at least come up if Yurika made a boy buy her a drink.

He needed to talk to her about this, though, as it could hardly be blamed on Cal.

"Since February," he nodded. "I take it she didn't exactly advertise the fact."

Amber walked in and said without preamble once she spotted him, "How was your date last night?" She was even smiling, but that expression didn't come close to touching her eyes.

She raised a brow. "Awfully defensive, aren't you? I'm right here, there's no need to yell."

Amber twisted her lips, shoved her hands in her pockets. "You met someone at the bar, what, accidentally?"

"Yah, going to a bar, buying someone a drink, is a date," Amber replied, then simply shrugged. "Whatever. So you dated. I shouldn't care in the least. I just thought... you know... you didn't date."

"That's riiight! How could I, of all people, think that you did date? 'Cause I should know," she said, her tone low, sharp, and not an ounce less sarcastic.

"Business. How nice for you. And blonde no less," Amber shook her head.

"I'm not jealous," she countered, feeling her shoulders slump.

"This is retarded. You don't date, yet you go on some fucking business thing with some blonde, and I'm supposed to get that? This is crazy. Why am I even here? I think, maybe hope, but for what? This is bullshit. It's all just bullshit and will never go anywhere."
