Chapter 4

"...And that's how we came together." Howie finished. Everyone rolled
their eyes. "What? It's so drilled in my brain that I automatically
say it." he shrugged.

Robin wrote it down. "Ok, I've finished the group's chapter of the book
now I need to launch into little things about you. Now for this book,
you can say whatever, I'm not going to alter anything you say. So, you're
practically writing this thing yourselves." Robin smiled.

"You were always sweet like that, Bobby." Kevin commented. Robin blushed.
"And still easily blushed. You're just the cutest little thing." he
commented.

"No matter what you say, Kevin, I'm not changing what I write." Robin
replied strongly. "If you didn't notice, I'm not a teenybopper just
waiting for the juicy things to write. I write what I feel, my clients
feel, what they want. Unfortunately, I don't sell out that easily."

"Come on, baby, maybe there's a little magic left." Kevin replied. He
moved towards Robin. Robin got up and vacated he seat before Kevin
grabbed him. "You know you still love me. I know you still love me. So
why don't we both make our wishes come true?"

"Kevin, you have a wife now. Her name was Kristen, last I heard. The same
one you ran out with." Robin replied very coolly. "You chose her over
me and I respect that descision."

"Well, what's YOUR history, Bobby?" asked AJ.

"Well, I was born in Hawaii but moved to California when I was about 9.
Ever since I got into writing, I never stopped. My parents died in a
car crash when I was barely 18. And that's about my history right there.
Pieces of it are in my stories, though." Robin replied. "Basically, when
I can't express myself with words, I play a song. I know it sounds kinda
cheesy and corny but it's true. I really like Dido and Tori Amos. Their
songs really speak to me. Like right now I'd play 'Thank You' on my CD
player at home."

"Wow..." breathed Nick. "What do you look for in a guy?" he blurted.

Robin blushed. "I'm not really looking right now. But I'd like someone
just to comfort me when I'm sad, laugh with me during happy times and
inspire me to write."

"No specifics?"

"Then why'd you go out with Kevin?" joked Brian. A pillow was thrown at
his face.

"Strangely, I thought Kevin was someone like that." Robin replied softly.
"But I found out that he wasn't. At home I'd wait for him but he would
call hours later saying that he's tied up at work. I was a bit confused
but it was probably the fact that I was only 15 or so. I went to his
house one day just to ask him to spare some time for me. He asked me a
question and I said that I'd say yes in a few years. I went home, glowing
with happiness. I went back the next day to find that he ran with a note
on the couch.

"I still have it with me today." Robin reached into his pocket and
unfolded a piece of paper. "It just says that he's too mature for me
and that he has found the girl of his dreams at his work. He also said
that I was too young for him. Too boyish. Lord knows that lead me to a
string of bad habits. Smoking, being on some sort of pill, binging,
cutting, pricking, etcetera. It really hurt me inside. But he didn't
know about it until now." He glared at kevin. "Am I still boyish for you
or did I grow enough for you to pounce on me?"

Kevin said nothing.

"What was the question he asked, Bobby?" asked AJ. "Well, if you're
uncomfortable with that, then we can move onto another subject. Like
how our Nicky got his ghetto, ghetto booty."

The room laughed for a while before quieting again to hear the important
question Kevin had asked Robin years ago.

"He asked me to marry him." Robin said.
