Two friends catch up after an escape
I Don't Like Pina Coladas
by ZekeNix
I Don’t Like Pina Coladas
There's only so long you can take it she confided in me that day we ran into each other in Chelsea. I know they were only trying to help but they crapped on every imaginable surface. I don't hold it against them, they're just birds, after all.
The "relatives" though... Cleaning up after them got to be such a chore. I've got a degree from Vassar, by God! I was on scholarship! So, I packed up everything, made an escape plan and left in the middle of the night.
That stupid, vapid Prince and his party, though. Diversion, plain and simple. I used a burner phone and hacked the bell tower to chime during the last dance. Then I split in all the confusion.
I lost one shoe on the steps, caught an Uber, and tossed the other out of the window at the base of a Willow tree on the way out of town in case they used bloodhounds like the first time. I imagine he looked all over for his "fair maiden." I don't even know if they ever found the other shoe. I just had to get out of that scene.
So, anyway, Aurora, how's life with you?
