Misadventures
Because Without You...
I woke up the next morning and I had a bunch of missed calls from Tony.
“Shit.” I said, just now thinking I forgot to call him last night.
I called him and he answered, I told him I made it to his place last night and Honey-Lemon was being a good girl.
“Well good, I'm glad you guys are doing okay.” He said.
“Do you know when you'll be home?” I asked him.
“In about a month.” He replied.
“A month? That's enough time for me to redecorate your entire house!” I said, teasing him.
“You better not!” He said, laughing.
“I won't!” I told him.
We said goodbye, our usual 'I love you' and such then hung up.
“Okay, Honey-Lemon, time to eat!” I said to her.
The good thing about being by yourself and having a puppy with you, is that you can talk to the puppy like an actual human being and you feel like they understand you. I got me and Honey-Lemon a little snack and as she was eating I sat down with my snack, which was a bowl of cereal, and turned on the TV. I saw 'Ghost Adventures' on the guide, and thought of the guys, especially Tony.
“Aw, look Honey-Lemon, it's our show. I shouldn't though should I?” I asked her.
As she finished her food she jumped up onto the couch.
“Yeah, you're right, I should.” I said, putting 'Ghost Adventures' on.
I questioned if I should let her on the couch but I figured Tony and I could talk about it on our next phone call. After a few hours of watching 'Ghost Adventures' I got into my pajamas and was horrified to go to sleep, so I paced back and forth around the house, then decided to do some chores, laundry was always my favorite, so I started with that.
“Whites, and towels.” I said out loud. “Bleach.”
I didn't know where the bleach was, I needed to get my laundry clean! But I didn't have to use bleach. I was debating calling Tony this late, I'm sure it was a different time where he was at, as I was having this debate in my head I heard the home phone ring and I picked it up, which I shouldn't have done because I don't know any of his friends or people he works for besides his manager.
“Hello?” I said.
“Hi, I'm looking for Tony.” A man said.
“Uh, Me no habla ingles!” I said, freaking out and hanging up the phone.
I immediately called Tony and he answered, I asked him everything, where the bleach was, which he didn't have any of, if it was okay for Honey-Lemon to be on the couch, he said no, which I was totally fine with, and I told him about the phone call.
“Who was it?” He asked.
“I don't know,” I started. “I said 'I don't speak English' in Spanish.”
He laughed.
“You're hilarious, you know that?” He said.
I smiled.
“Thanks, you're not so bad yourself.” I replied.
A few days went by and I was okay, then a week went by and it was Hell. I started to cry at night, have dreams of Tony and wake up without him there, how could I survive this? I needed my music, better yet, the people who made the music.
Tony's POV
I woke up early, like six o'clock in the morning and tried calling Carolina, a bunch of times, not once did she answer. I was getting super worried now. Then about an hour later she called, and I quickly picked up the phone.
“Hello?” I said.
“Hey, sorry I didn't call you last night, I was pretty tired and fell asleep.” She said.
“No, yeah, I understand.” I told her.
“You'd be surprised at how well Honey-Lemon is doing.” She said.
I smiled and could just imagine the two hanging out together.
“Well good, I'm glad you guys are doing okay.” I said.
She asked when I'd be home. For once I've never been so anxious to go home. The manager said in about a month, when I told Carolina she threatened to redecorate my house. After the phone call we had to play another concert. After the concert the guys and I went back to the bus.
“Hey.” I said. “Let's do something fun.”
“Like what?” Mike asked.
“I don't know, watch a movie and order pizza.” I replied.
They all looked at me for a second, like I had two heads, then agreed. I'm pretty sure they could tell I was thinking about Carolina, I was just trying to fill in the void. We ended up watching 'Cheaters'. I thought about when we were staying at the hotel with Carolina, and she made the joke about someone always getting busted. It was getting pretty late when Carolina finally called me.
“Hey.” I said.
“Hey, where's the bleach?” She asked me.
“Bleach? I don't have any. Why?” I replied.
“You don't have any? I need to do my whites, and bleach makes them whiter.” She said, laughing.
“Oh, well now I know.” I told her.
“Hey, is it okay for Honey-Lemon to be up on the couch and bed? Just wondering.” She asked.
“Um, I don't think so, you know at this age, if she thinks she could get up on a couch and a bed, she'll go her whole life thinking that.” I replied.
“Right, got it. I totally understand.” She said.
I'm surprised she was okay with it, I thought she would go against me and say Honey-Lemon needed time on a couch or bed or something like that, but she was cool about it.
“Someone called you.” She said.
“Who was it?” I asked.
When she said she told the person 'I don't speak English' in Spanish I smiled, and let out a little giggle.
“You're hilarious, you know that?” I told her.
