My Life as a Soap Opera

Guest

"Spencer, you and Maddison are just too young!" she sighed softly. The fact that he couldn't even live on his own yet should have been enough to knock some sense into him. What kind of married life was it when you were still living with your parents? "Why can't you wait, sweetie? Two years isn't a very long time, is it?" Kimberly suggested.

Joey cuddled with him after their bath and had finally been able to retrieve their food once they had dried off. They both enoyed a nice dinner together, and fell asleep in one another's arms. She was able to wake up earlier than he did, however, and dressed and left without even giving him a little goodbye kiss. It would be best if he had no trace of her; if she remained a ghost in his memory.

" Mom I want to express my deep love for her and sex isn't the way for me to do so. I don't want her just for sex. She's my world, mom. We do everything together. I mean I even brush her hair for school somedays!" he said. " We both agreed t hat sex is just something we shouldn't have to h andle till we're at least 20. And I agree with her. I know she's my life long partner...you just know after a 2 years...You knew with dad."

And it bothered emmett. He wanted to find her.

Guest

"That doesn't mean that you're ready for marriage." Kimberly said, sighing. It sounded like Spencer and Maddison were no where near ready. What was the game plan? What kind of married life involved celibacy and living with your parents? It hardly sounded like a romantic union between two people who loved one another. Sighing, she shook her head once more. "I'm sorry, Spencer. I just don't think you're responsible enough just yet."

He wasn't going to find her. Besides, Emmett had bigger fish to fry. One of the members of the band was on his back about finding someone to make a website for their ban. Their manager had been able to track down a website that advertised web designs. The place was run by some guy named Joey. They needed someone to go and meet with the guy. So far everyone wanted Emmett to do it, finding him to to be a better people person.

" You never think I can do anything! You didn't let me have a skateboard ramp and now this!" Spencer said, " I do have plans! Just not at our current age!"

Emmett didnt' really want to go but he knew he had to.

Guest

"If you don't have any plans for your current age then maybe you shouldn't be getting married." Kimberly suggested. She sighed, and ran a hand through her thick curly hair. She didn't want to be mean, but this was no simple matter. Marriage was nothing to sneer at. While she valued her marriage with Damien, it could be very hard sometimes.

Joey yawned softly, smoothing out her blouse and pleated skirt. She was supposed to meet with a member of a band to go over a design for the band website. Pulling out her black glasses, she placed them on and waited patiently for her client. Already she had ordered two steaming coffees. As she waited, her mind drifted back to the day before and to Ringo.

" You're impossible! I know how serious marriage is!!! If I didn't why would I be standing here having this conversation!" Spencer said. It hurt him that his mom treated him like a baby when his brother was prime cut rib in her eyes! " You'd let Deren. You let him do everything! CAUSE HE'S YOUR FAVORITE! YOU LET HIM GO TO PARIS!!!!!!! AND I CAN"T DO ANYTHING!"

Emmett sighed as he opened t he door.

Guest

"Your brother was nineteen years old when he went to Paris, a good three years older than you are now. I'm not doing this to be mean or difficult. I just don't see how you can have a happy successful marriage when you are still so young. The both of you are still in school, and Maddison is back and forth with her movie career. Right now the foundation needed for a marriage is rocky between you two."

Joey yawned softly to herself and took a sip from her steaming cup of coffee. Nibbeling one of the of the mini biscottis, she went through the samples on her computer for different website designs. She hoped that the band would pose as a challenge for her. She wanted something big to get her mind off of Ringo and the afternoon that they had shared with one another.

" I'm mature mom!" he said, " Me and her are strong! "

Emmett was lead to the room.

Guest

Kimberly sighed softly. Her objections and his false accusations and screaming were getting them no where. She felt strongly against allowing them to marry, though she knew that Spencer was not going to let up. And why would he? Maddison was his dream girl. "Look," she said softly, smoothing of the sleeve of her shirt. "We can argue about this all day, which you probably can do. But I can't. I'm an old lady," she said, and then sighed. "I'm not going to say no, but I won't allow a wedding until you can get a steady job and means of supporting Maddison. Even if you don't need it just yet, I still want to see if you can do it. Alright?" She thought it was a decent compromise.

Joey yawned to herself and looked down at the golden watch on her wrist. Pushing back down the sleeve of her jacket, she sighed softly. While Ringo would have nothing to remember her by, save for the love bite on his neck, she had taken his jacket with her. It hadn't really been on purpose; she hardly remembered taking it. But she had, and for the time being, she was going to hold on it. It still had the same scent form the day before; his. And she liked it.

" Deal." Spencer nodded. He could live with that.

Emmett walked into the room, " Um hello?"

Guest

Even though Spencer was a minor and wouldn't really need to support himself or Maddison until they were older, she still wanted to see if he could handle doing something that took a lot of energy and quick planning. He would need these skills for marriage. Spencer could love Maddison and adore her until the sky turned blue, but things were always a little bit different after a couple married. These changes weren't necessarily bad, but she wasn't sure if they were things that a sixteen year old could handle.

"Hello," Joey said, not looking up from her laptop. She was perfecting one of the templates, and clumsily gestured to the seat opposite of her own. Like usual she chose to meet clients at a public place, this being a Starbucks, just incase the person turned out to be a creeper of some sort and she needed to get away. Brushing some of her golden blonde hair from her eyes, she yawned, hardly looking over at him. "You are from the college band?" she asked, trying to look for the piece of paper that had both the bands name and the current clients name.

Subject: Re: My Life as a Soap Opera Sun Oct 25, 2009 4:22 pm

Damien had been working at the time and he had a wedding present; and apartment before they married. Spencer would be determind to marry her. " Mom can I still prepose to her?"

" Yeah. " Emmett said. She looked just like Josephine. >_ < What now every girl he meets is gonna look like his dream girl!?!

Guest

Kimberly ran a few fingers through her curly red hair, mulling the thought over in her mind. Proposing to someone wasn't the same thing as marrying them. Proposals could last for years and years before a couple actually married. Looking up at her son, she nodded her head. "Yes," she said, but then quickly added, "So long as you tell her the deal with when you may officially marry."

Joey finally looked up at him. There was the slightest tweak in her eye, but that was the only sigh that she gave off of remembering who he was. Smiling softly, she brushed some of her hair from her eyes. "Sign this, please." she said, handing over a slip of paper. It was proof that he had attended the meeting. "For today I thought it would be best if we go over the style and templates- I was hoping you could tell me what kind of designs the band is in." If Ringo remembered her at all, he wasn't letting her know.

Subject: Re: My Life as a Soap Opera Sun Oct 25, 2009 4:41 pm

" Alright" he smiled and hugged her.

Emmett wasn't sure if it was her but yet she looked so much like the girl. He took the pen and signed it: Emmett R. Vlad

Guest

Kimberly hugged her son back, sighing softly. She really didn't like being difficult with any of her children, she just didn't want them to make any mistakes that they would regret later down the road. "Do you really want this, Spencer?" she asked, pulling away and looking seriously at her son. The deal had been made, but she genuinely wanted to know why he was so keen on marrying Maddison.

Joey lookekd thoughtfully at this signature, specifically his middle initial. R. For some reason she felt a tightening in her stomach, but quickly shook it off. "Have a seat, please." she said, and then offered him the second coffee that she had purchased. "I wasn't sure what you would like so I just ordered a black coffee for now." she said kindly, and looked back down to her laptop to open up a file showing previous websites she had made for bands.

Subject: Re: My Life as a Soap Opera Sun Oct 25, 2009 5:33 pm

" More than anything" he said.

" That's fine" Emmett nodded before he noticed her coat. So it was her! " Excuse me but...uh is your name Josephine?"

Guest

Kimberly knew better than to try and stand in the way of a teenager in love. Both her and Damien's actions as teenagers proved that despite age, it was possible to love someone with your whole heart and being. "Just be careful, alright? I don't want you to get hurt in the future." Though she knew that Maddison would sooner die than hurt him.

Joey looked up at him thoughtfully when he asked what her full name was. He did remember her. "Josephina," she answered, looking back down at her laptop. "But most of the time I prefer that people call me Joey." She only let people who were close to her call her Josephina. The fact that she had let him, a complete stranger, call her Josephine meant something.

Subject: Re: My Life as a Soap Opera Sun Oct 25, 2009 6:34 pm

" I will" he said gently.

" It's me...Ringo" he said softly.

Guest

Joey was quiet once more, unsure of what to say to him. What exactly did he want from her? Last night had been intimate, she would admit, but they had been strangers pretty much. She was just learning his real name now! She coughed, and then started to shrug out of her jacket. "Here, I was going to try to send this back to you." Joey murmured, handing him the jacket. "I didn't take it on purpose..."

Subject: Re: My Life as a Soap Opera Sun Oct 25, 2009 6:47 pm

" No its ok you can keep it" he said softly.

Guest

Joey couldn't help but smile at him, "Thank you," she said, "I really like this jacket." Placing it back on, she sighed softly and took a seat again. "R- Emmett," she said softly, "What happened yesterday was nothing short of one of the happiest days of my life," she said softly, "But I don't think that there is a lot of hope for a future together. Let's just try to be professional and work together on this job."

Subject: Re: My Life as a Soap Opera Sun Oct 25, 2009 7:01 pm

" Couldn't we try to work something out because...yesterday was something I could only dream about and I'm so lucky to have it happen" he said gently.

Guest

"I'm sorry," she whispered softly. Joey really wasn't sure if she wanted a relationship with Emmett. For goodness sake, she was hardly able to call him by the name Emmett! She needed to catch herself before she called him Ringo. "I'll admit that yesterday was... special," Because it had been," But deep down, I'm sure we both know that it would never work out."

Subject: Re: My Life as a Soap Opera Mon Oct 26, 2009 5:58 am

" Why say die when you can try" he said gently looking at her.

Guest

"Please, Mr. Vlad, I would like to interact on a professional level." Whether or not she liked it, she would be spending time with him for a while until she finished making the website for his band. "I just don't think it's a good idea, surely you can understand." What had happened yesterday had been amazing and wonderful, but they needed to put it behind them.
