Chapter Twenty-Nine: Real Life

Grossly unedited

'Is that all?'
Lola asks as Malcolm carries the last box through her apartment front door.

'Yeah I think so, unless there's more stuff in your car.'
Malcolm breathes, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

'Nope that's everything.'

'Thank god.'
He sighs, falling back onto Lola's mattress that was in the middle of her living room. She falls down beside him.

'Thank you so much for helping me.'
She turns on her side to face him, Malcolm's puts her arms over her waist and pulls her closer to his chest.

'It's was my pleasure. I'm so unbelievably happy you are here.'
He grins.

'Me too.'
Lola leans in, kissing his lips. Malcolm runs his hand down her waist smiling against her lips. When Lola's phone rings. She breaks the kiss, flipping over.

'Nooo.....'
Malcolm groans,
'Just ignore it.'

Lola giggles,
'It's Corinna it'll only take a minute.'
She sits up. Malcolm pouts rolling on to his back and staring up at her face.

'Rinna hey!'

'Okay, okay.'

'Yeah I'm all moved in.'

'I don't know......'

'Fine...can I bring Malcolm?'

'Okay cool we'll be there at 8.'

'Love you too.'

Lola hangs up the phone tossing it to the side before rolling over and straddling Malcolm's waist.

'What did Corinna want?'

'She invited us to party tonight.'

Malcolm groans closing his eyes and putting his hands on Lola's waist.

'Noo...lets just stay in and break in your new mattress.'

He wiggles his eyebrows. Lola laughs poking his nose.

'Nope! I'm going and you're coming with me!'
She rolls off his lap and stands up, Malcolm sits up.

'Fine, But only because you're cute and I love you.'

Lola rolls her eyes,

'I love you too.'

By the time Malcolm and Lola arrived the party was in full swing.

'Lola!'
Corinna screams, immediately enveloping Lola in a intoxicated hug,
'I missed you so much.'
She slurs.

'I missed you to 'Rinna.'
Lola chuckles as Corinna pulls away and disappears back into the crowd of people.

'I'm going to go grab a drink!'
Lola yells to Malcom over the pounding music. Malcolm nods and Lola kisses his cheek before walking towards the crowded kitchen.

She grabs the half empty bottle of vodka on the counter and pours it into her solo cup of sprite when an extremely faded Dom in a pink Du-rag approaches her.

'Hey, I remember you! Your that actor friend of Corinna's.'

'I am—your name is Dom right?'
She takes a sip of her drink. Dom grins nodding.

'I am—but you can call me Daddy.'

Lola chokes on her drink, trying to refrain herself from laughing.
'That's the worst thing I've ever heard!'

Dom shrugs,
'It works on some girls.'

Lola was laughing uncontrollably by now,
'Really?! Name one.'

'Uhhhhh....'

Lola cocks her eyebrow.

'-Okay you're right it's never worked- not even once.'

'You're funny Dom.'

'You're sexy Lola.'

Lola rolls her eyes,
'Bye Dom.'
She walks away.

  Lola sways in the living room, her arms around Malcom's shoulder and their bodies pressed close together. Out of the corner of her eye she see's David. He's already looking at her. Lola smiles. David smiles back.
