Speeding(1)

[Creative wrting again]

'I used to read my horoscope and still do.'
'Why?'
'Cos..' there was a pause, 'cos...I dunno.'
Her eyes looked to the ceiling in a gesture of ...impatience, or is this guy cracked, or whatever.
'Lt's start again-'
'What's your favourite place?'
'All time favourite place?'
'Yes.'
'Robin Hood's Bay.'
'Yeah?'
'Robin Hood's Bay.'
'Why?'
'Why.'
Christ this was hard work
TIME.
At last. 'See ya.'
'See ya,' (not bloody likely).

'Hi,' I said brightly.
'Hi.'
There was that curious pause then:
'What'/'Well' we both spoke simultanoeusly.
'You first'
'No you.'
'OK, favourite band.'
'Favourite band?' I nodded.
'It's got to be Flaming Lips.'
(Christ where did that come from?)
'So you are still on the medication?'
'Whaat?'
Oh bugger I thought that would be obvious.
'Anyone who likes Flaming Lips-' Oh Fuck I am digging myself into a hole here-
She laughs, 'Sounds like you are digging yoruself into a hole here.'
'Yep.'
TIME
Ok fuck.
'Bye.'
'Bye'.
