  Chapter Eight That Can Only Mean One Thing

  SETTING: (Othello and Fredator are at Othello’s house, picking up small weights and putting them down)

  Fredator: Look man, I support you and all, and your little experiment, but I’m jussayin’ I don’t think I’m going to be going back to anymore Thirsty Club meetings any time soon.

  Othello: I thought you loved it there? (snickers)

  Fredator: I mean it was a nice place to visit and all.

  Othello: Ha! Yeah, well, me too.

  Fredator: I dodged a bullet with that Gabby.

  Othello: Ya don’t say.

  Fredator: Yeah, apparently she called the cops on Jawny because he wouldn’t take her to Dunkin’ Donuts.

  Othello: I see.

  Fredator: He’s sitting at his house right now with a bracelet around his sock until his trial.

  Othello: No shit? That is exactly what I needed to hear, kemo sabe.

  Fredator: Wait, so you DID have a thing for Gabby?

  Othello: Try again.

  Fredator: You had a thing for Dr. Dave?

  Othello: Mary has a thing for me, like a thing, currently, a very active thing.

  Fredator: Othello, you salty old dog you! Now she, on the other hand, she is a person of interest.

  Othello: I don’t know Fred.

  Fredator: She’s got more than a year and then some! How do you know she’s into you though?

  Othello: Oh, trust me, I know. I guess one can never be too sure about these things, but if I was a betting man I’d place a substantial wager on it. Something about it though, just does not feel right. Something inside of me is hesitant.

  Fredator: You just not feeling the chemistry?

  Othello: No, it’s not that but something tells me—

  (Phone Ringing…and ringing…and ringing)

  Fredator: Answer it!

  Othello: (sighs) Hello.

  (A pink zig-zag ling separates the screen diagonally. Mary appears on the other side)

  Mary: Why hello there. Do you know who this is?

  Othello: Grandma?

  Mary: Yes, it’s your grandmother, and I need you to come cut my grass.

  (Othello and Fredator look at each other, and Fredator shakes with excitement)

  Othello: You’re on speakerphone with Fred my dear.

  Mary: Hey Fredator!!!

  Fredator: Hey Mary.

  Mary: Are you guys having bro time?

  Fredator: No, you aren’t interrupting, not at all Mary, not at all.

  Mary: I have a problem with interrupting Othello, Fred.

  Fredator: I’m sure he doesn’t mind Mary.

  Mary: Othello have you ever seen the movie where James Woods plays Bill W.?

  Othello: I can’t say that I have.

  Mary: Oh Em Gee! You have to see it.

  Othello: I do like James Woods.

  Mary: Well I was thinking of watching it tonight, would you like to join me?

  (Fredator and Othello look at each other. Fred nods his head “yes”, signaling to Othello to accept.)

  Othello: Ok.

  Mary: Ok? That’s all I get is an Ok?

  Othello: Cool.

  Mary: You can bring Fredator if you want.

  Fredator: I’m busy tonight thank you very much Mary.

  Mary: Ok, then. Well, I’ll see you later Othello.

  Othello: Later.
