"Lunch break Stan the Man. Come on I'm hungry." "I'll be right there rich. Give me a second."
Small tapping on my shoulder startles me. "Jeez...oh sorry, you scared me." I chuckle. "Sorry about that...I wanted to know if I could get your number?" He smiles gently. "Sure." I return one. He walks away smiling.
"Did you really just give him your number?" I nod as Eddies face mixes with confusion and disappointment.
"Yes....is there something wrong with that?" I chuckle, walking with him, Richie's face softens at the sight of Eddie. "Yeah. Have you know heard of what he's been doing recently?" "No?" Richie stands silent, admiring the boy's face.
"He's dated like four different guys this month, they've quit their job for him. Now they can't get it back." "I'm not gonna date him, Eddie. All he asked was for my number...it's fine he's nice...Richie, you're being awfully silent." "Yeah...sorry." Eddie looks at me I shrug.
"Here." Beverly hands me a slice of cake. "What is this for?" Eddie looks away silently. "Eddie's birthday is today...." he smiles slightly. "Why didn't you tell me Eds? Now come on let's go do something." "Richie we're on a limited time schedule." "Please?" Eddie rolls his eyes before Richie takes his hand, rushing them out.
"Well, thanks, Bev..." "I see he asked for your number." "Yes...yes he did. And I know what 'he's done to other people' but I don't think he would be like that." She shrugs, pulling me down tony dressing room.
*Bill's POV*
"Y-Yeah. Okay cool. We're g-gonna start the shot o-over there." She nods, walking away. Pushing my hair back I take a deep breath.
"Question." "W-what Richie?" He sighs before talking. "I was wondering if I could like...uh take Eddie out on a date?"
"S-sure whatever. But if you break his h-heart, your career will be I-in the trash." He nods before walking away chuckling.
"Where's Connor?" "Uh...oh right there." I point in the direction. Stanley smiles as Connor hands him a phone.
Does he not know what Connor has done to others? Probably not.
Do I feel the tiniest bit jealous?
I don't know.
