Angelo and Laurie, Thursday afternoon
Angelo has a run-in with a poetry-cursed Laurie in the kitchen and ends up confiscating her laptop.
Angelo hadn't been on the journals since Angel's comments to Marius. Things had got disturbing enough there, he didn't need any more of that.
Unfortunately, that meant he wasn't forewarned when he walked into the kitchen to find Laurie already there.
Could this day get any worse, wondered Laurie as she saw Angelo walk through the door. It wasn't enough that Jay probably wanted to kill her right now, or that Kevin would probably avoid her like the plague, now here was Angelo. Amanda was going to kill her, and yet the compelling need to speak was almost overwhelming.
"Angelo, my friend, my pal, so good to see you round." she blurted, unable to help herself.
...that wasn't Laurie-like speech. He eyed her a little warily, heading for the fridge. "Good to see you too, Laurie. Did the poetry get you?"
"What you say is true, the poetry did indeed, as you say, get me. Perhaps it would be wise, to escape from my eyes, before I say, much more then I should." Laurie replied, clutching her hands on her knees as she allowed her hair to fall forward across her face.
He stopped in his tracks at that, looking back at her over his shoulder. "Oh God. Is this goin' to be another thing like Angel, 'cause if it is, maybe I will go."
"Another thing like Angel?" Laurie asked, trying to stop at that but feeling more words want to come. "Her comments about Kevin's bum? I assure you all is fine. If I were going to comment, it would not be on your ass, but a much more enjoyable part. Your hands that is, I meant to say, please don't take me the wrong way."
"An' Marius's", he confirmed before she continued. "My hands?" He glanced down at them automatically, the burn scars on the palms as obvious as ever. "Yeah, uh... maybe I'll just go find food in the suite."
"Marius is quite nice, and very easy on the eyes." Laurie admitted, expression pained as she huddled in her chair. "Maybe it would be wise, for you to go. I hope I have not offended so."
"You haven't offended me", he said hastily. "I just... whatever this is, it's makin' you say stuff an' I don't want you to embarrass yourself."
"I do believe that ship has sailed, but feel free to avail yourself of the door." Laurie said, looking down at the laptop on the kitchen table. She wanted to leave it behind, but every time she did, she felt a compulsion to go pick it back up again.
"You want me to take that for you?" he asked, following her eyes to the laptop. "Keep it away until this passes?"
"I must admit, I think it wise if you were to take it from my eyes." Laurie said, relief evident in the softening of the tension around her eyes and mouth. "But please be quick, else I say something thick."
He stepped forward quickly and scooped up the computer. "Okay then. Just come by an' ask in normal speech when you want it back."
"Thankyou, thankyou, you are quite kind, to take that away before I say something unkind." Laurie noted, tapping her fingers against her legs now she didn't have her laptop to write in. "Perhaps it would be wise, for you to retire, before I aspire to comment on your behind?"
That got a faintly alarmed look and he took a step towards the door. "Right. See you later, Laurie."

no subject
Actually, Amanda would have found the whole thing hysterically funny. She knows Angelo isn't the sort to go chasing after high school girls with a poetic bent, even if they do say he has a nice arse. She reserves the death threats for Latino ex-girlfriends who make it clear they wouldn't mind picking up where things left off. ;)
