Time on his Own

[Ron Spence]

It was amazing some of the random things Ron could be doing behind peoples backs. Sure he trained and worked out a lot to keep his shape up, but what did he do during those times of the workout? He was at hockey practice at this moment, or suppose to be training for it, by running up and down the bleechers. This was a simple excersize most of the sports wanted him going out to do and considering he only had to do a few laps of it and then go off on his own, which would probibly consist of more training since he hadn't talked about hanging out with any friend yet.

As he ran up his first lap though he noticed a door open into the press box and announcer booth where he had his south board and microphone to say things from. Seeing this door open he took full advantage of the situation and went inside to look around. He wasn't there to cause trouble on purpose but a guy like him just naturally got into it and in this case he had hit the big shiney red button and the on switch, along with a few other lucky settings like turning the computer and switcher on, to completely turn the microphone on. Then speaking from it he quickly realized his mistake and jumped from startling himself of his own voice as he had it on quite loud. Trying to touch one button to turn it down he heard the amps started to screech and so he quickly turned that knob up again and accepted the high volume.

"INTRODUCING! THE SPECTACULAR, LADIES MAN, STUD MUFFIN, TWO TIME PGA, NASCAR, SUPERBOWL, STANLEY CUP, GOLD METAL FOR BASKETBALL AND JUDO CHAMPION OF THE WORLD RON SPECE!" Then quickly getting off the microphone he held his arms up high like some sorta rocky and cheered out of the box as he ran up and down the bleechers, then at the top again he quickly made it to the mic again, panting hard now.

"GIVE A BIG CHEER LADIES TO STUD MUFFIN BUFF!" That was his strippers name and he was just quoting the mc of the strip club there, not that to many of his friends knew that little secret about that.

[Marinna Neilson]

Marinna walked into the stadium, it was what she did when she needed time to think. Boy, did she need time to think. She had just gotten back together with her ex, and she was obsessing over if it would work out or not. Taking a seat on the bleachers, she pulled out her cell phone to check for messages, "None." She was still clad in the same attire as she was wearing at walmart earlier, only her hair was a bit messier due to the wind blowing it everywhere.

Gentle snowflakes dropped on her, as she sat there staring blankly at the sky. She hadn't even noticed Ron was there at all. Well, she hadn't noticed him until she heard the stadium's speakers booming with voice. The first comment he made, just made her crack up laughing. When it stopped, she figured she would go over to say hey to him. As she was walking to the other side, she heard him say his stripper name. Obviously, he was imitating MC Get It Hard from the Spearmint Rhino. "You have got to be kidding me," she said to herself.

The idea crossed her mind to walk up there and catch him off guard. She quickly made her way over to the other set of bleachers and got on them. Step by step, she snuck up to the top and creeped over to the announcer's booth. "How in the world did he get up in there?" she asked herself as she hid behind the corner of the booth. When he finished talking about his stripper self, she turned around the corner and stood in the doorway. "Are you serious?" she asked him laughing about his announcing skills.

[Ron Spence]

Just as she was comming up he didn't even see her as he started to strip off his shirt the proper way. If he could play music like MCHammer he would but he wasn't close to that technilogically advanced to figure out how to do something like that and playing music would just attract attention anyway, and he sure didn't want to do that!

He didn't even notice her sneak up behind him on the door when his shirt was off and let out a startled yell as he jumped back, grabbing his shirt and quickly putting it back on again. It felt sweaty and old but he eventually had to put it back on anyway. Then seeing who it was he stopped acting so scared as she how he was doing all of this. "Oh, it's just you Marinna." He had less secrets to hide with her then anybody else.

"I was training here and the door was opened so I came in and thought I'd use the mic. I'm impressed I actually got this on." What he was saying echoed a little from what the mic was picking up, but nothing could be made out from it. "And am I serious? Honestly Marinna, when am I ever serious?" With exgirlfriends but it was doubtful either would want to bring up something like that.

[Marinna Neilson]

Marinna laughed a little more at the sight of him testing out his stripper moves. Not to mention, when he tried to quickly put his shirt back on at the sound of someone behind him. "I can think of one time when you were serious," she said with a wink and another laugh. She looked over at him, not feeling any spark now, like she had so many times before. She must have really liked Viktor. It was definitely something she needed for her.

"Anyways," she began with a sigh, "I've been meaning to talk to you about that. It didn't mean anything to me, I'm not talking about relationship-wise, I'm talking about I didn't want sex. I just wanted to fool with you, since you were a man-whore and all. The sex was just a fringe-benefit." She looked up at him waiting for a response of any kind. Then again, it was Ron. He probably didn't even catch half of what she had to say.

She adjusted her newsboy cap and took a seat on an area of the sound board without the buttons and such. Crossing her legs, she got comfortable and began to wonder if he really came here for practice.

[Ron Spence]

Ron was a little surpized they were going by this all the sudden. He thought they already had a great talk about it which was just as awkward as this one and since they already talked about it the issue was over with. Anything else to add to it just caused confusion, which is why they didn't tell others either.

"I don't know what else there is to talk about Mari.." He said her name short like he said a lot of peoples names short. He was bad at remembering them and he always had to meet and remember so many people that it just made it easier to make their name shorter when possible. "I wasn't in any relationship at the time and I don't care if you were. The money was what it was all about and there wasn't a single thing past that. Am I missing anything? Because if I am tell me." This conversation was awkward, he never met with clients past her in his social life. The ones in his social life usually got it for free to.

[Marinna Neilson]

"So, how long are we going to pretend we don't know each other for? I'm not saying people have to find out, I don't want anyone to. I'm just saying that we shouldn't just act like we hardly know anything about one another," she said taking out a piece of Bubblicious watermelon gum and popping it into her mouth and taking a couple of chews.

"I don't know about you, but I don't want to just be acquaintances. I'm not talking about fuck buddies or boyfriend/girlfriend, I already have a boyfriend, I'm just talking about friends, ya know?" as she finished she blew a bubble with the gum and popped it. The smell of artificial watermelon filling the air, "This stuff doesn't even smell like a real watermelon smells."

[Ron Spence]

Smelling the watermelon he thought about it for a second. "Does it taste like watermelon though?" That was the important part. Getting past those unimportant issue though he moved on to other other problem.

"Why we making a whole ton of planned rules here? We don't have to pretend we don't know each other, we don't have to avoid each other. I just kinda figured that you didn't want to go telling others about our little secret and so I don't plan on telling others. We can still be friends if you want... I have no idea what any of your interest are... except sex... but I'm into football, basketball, and hockey." Quite clearly from this situation and in the past that was no kept secret.

[Marinna Neilson]

"Well, no, not really," she said looking down at the package. How could they call that watermelon if it didn't smell or taste like watermelon. Stupid companies and their trying to sell products based on real fruit. Watermelon wasn't exatly that sweet, either. She shrugged looking away from the package.

"Well, I don't want anyone to find out about it. I mean, it's not like it's bad or anything. I mean, i'm not embarassed, you weren't bad. I just.. don't know," she said as she hopped down, "Your body had already told me you were the typical jock. I mean, how else would you get killer abs and muscles to die for? I'm not interested in just sex, I like shopping and clothes and boys..."

[Ron Spence]

She doesnt want anyone to find out about it but she's not embarassed by it? That didn't make at all sense to Ron but neither did her trying to explain her other hobbies. shopping and clothes... that she used to dress for sex, boys... for sex, she hadn't explained to many other very social interests that didn't relate to sex to Ron there. He wasn't going to say anything though. As said before, he didn't care, she was the one making a bigger deal out of this. "Well if my body keeps telling you that i usually work there on Mondays."

"Listen Marinna, does this situation bother you that much? Obviously its bother you more then me. I was in no relationship at the time, needed the cash, we had a good night. We're still friends and talking, which is much more then any other client I had in the past, and we both agree it's probibly just best we bring this up to nobody. Any other issues?" He felt this conversation was really over now.

[Marinna Neilson]

Marinna racked her brain for some other interests. "Oh, I like acting! Like in school plays and stuff," she said with a smile, "Also, I love Spanish! I'm the president of the Spanish club." She smiled satisfied with her other interests. She looked over to him once more, "I never said I was going to stop by again. I have a boyfriend now, remember."

"Oh, and also, I never said it bothered me all that much. I just, i don't know. Whatever," she said shaking her head, she wanted to stop talking about this, "So, care to explain your making my cousin burst into tears at the basketball game Christmas Eve?" She sighed a little on the inside, finally they had something else to talk about.

[Ron Spence]

So she finally brought up her cousin, it was like these two really wanted to be friends but they had so many awkward situations with each other that it was hard. Ron didn't bother listing off to many more of his interest personally, mostly because he hd already listed off the major ones and most in the school already knew what they were originally.

"Who... Chloe? You and I both know what that's about. She's miss drama queen and I broke up with her so she can't stop crying about it. She woun't leave me alone anymore either, the only way she can talk to me is my cellphone and she keeps leaving messages on my phone. I mean common, you gotta know it was best for her and I to break up. I can't stand constant crying drama queens and she can't stand not being paid attention to for like... 2 minutes." Neither could he though, except he felt the difference between the two of them was when he wanted attention he gained it, successfully to. When she wanted it she cried until somebody came to her rescue.

[Marinna Neilson]

Marinna's mouth dropped, nearly to the ground. "She isn't a drama queen, Ron! I should know of all people, i've known her our entire lives pretty much. I can't believe you would ever say such a thing. All she ever was, was sweet to you and now you're calling her a drama queen?" she took a breath, crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, and continued, "Typical boy! You didn't have a good reason for breaking up with her or you screwed up one, and now you're trying to put false accusations on her? Seriously, did your balls ever drop? Be a real man and fix the problem, not ignore it." By now, Marinna's face was turning red from just blowing everything out. Boys, boys, stupid boys.

[Ron Spence]

He raised an eyebrow looking at her. "She's not a drama queen? Yeah fuckin' right, she just happens to have tears always streaming down her face because something broke in her eye? One moment she's crying about her lover, the next minute she's the happiest girl in the world that needs to tell the world because she found her new love. THAT'S drama queen. And I don't want anything to do with it so I did fix the problem, I broke up with her. I have better things to think about then her and she has better things to overdramatize the situation with then me. What the fuck do you even care anyway? The relationships over and that's it." He was getting offended by her now. "I'm not going to go fix some stupid situation because I have nothing more to say to her. She's heard what I got to say."

Angerly he then brushed his shoulder past her and walked out of the place to go continue his training.

[Marinna Neilson]

"You'll end up regretting how you're acting later," she said following suit and leaving the booth, "Now, I'm glad you guys broke up. You're being a pompous ass!" With her last statement, she headed down the bleachers and out of the stadium gates. That damn Ron Spence, he could go to hell as far as she was concerned. He was getting pissed at her for trying to fix a problem.
