Im Not Getting Married in the Morning
Who: Peter Marwood (with Alandra & the Psychedelic Creations)
Where: Parrots
When: After Alandra's last post
Peter looked at Alandra. Alandra looked at Peter.
"You want to get married???" he asked, puzzeled
"Well, yeah" said Alandra
He toyed the thought round in his head, whilst watching a pair of
Dolphins, who sounded like Noel Coward & Oscar Wild, having a
indepth discussion about where to have lunch (McDonalds or
Milliways? they postulated in their cultured tones). He turned back
to the problem at hand, he wasnt ready to get married, Marriage to
him meant 'settling down', 'career' (well he already had that one.
Worrying), and turning into his parents. He wasn't ready for
marriage, not yet.
"I..im sorry Alandra. But I can't get married now, not yet." he
managed to say, not making eye contact.
Alandra stared at him for a moment, emotion welling up inside her.
"Im sorry, I better go.." she said tearfully, before getting up and
running out of Parrotts.
"Alandra, wait!" called Peter, but it was too late. She was gone.
He sat back in his chair, and saw a shadow out of the corner of his
eye, He looked up to see Fritz the Cat, Tom Baker, Elvis Presley and
Elwood Blues staring back at him.
"Girl trouble, huh?" said Fritz
"Boy, don't get me started" said Peter lighting up his first Silk
Cut of the night. Knowing his mood, it probably wouldn't be his last.
