My B-side

Last Call of the Day

Wicker Park was so amazing the first time that we just had to see it a second. We were 20 minutes to the end when the phone rings. Who calls at 2 o'’clock in the morning? So, Rachel answers assuming it’s her oh-so-cute boyfriend wishing her sweet dreams. BUT, it was for ME. (Yay!! Someone's going to wish ME sweet dreams!!!)

Me: Hello?

Guy: Hello, Melissa! This is Taking Back Sunday and you have just won a free acoustic phone concert!

Me: Wha? Huh? (ADAM LAZZARRA KNOWS MY NAME)

Guy: (singing) September never stays this cold where I come from and you know, I’m not one for complaining. How I love the way you roll excuses off the tip of your tongue as I slowly fall apart, falls apart...(sings all of Great Romances)

Me: (By now I'’ve melted to the floor, utterly confused.) That was brilliant, but please who are you really??

Guy: Adam Lazzara…

Me: I'’m not buying it.

Guy: You aren’'t?

Me: Ha, no.

Guy: I found you on facebook. And saw that you liked Taking Back Sunday.

Me: Facebook?! You go to BYU??

(Rachel in background, "Oooo you'’ve got a fan club Meli!!")

Guy: Ha, yea.

Me: Wow, well you guys are really STELLAR!! Do you ever play at the Muse?

Guy: I wish! You know of the Muse??

Me: Cha…

Guy: We’ll totally have to go!

Me: I don’'t even know you!

Guy: Hi, I’m Kobe!

Me: Ha, you are crazy!

Guy: You sound hot.

Me: I sound like I'm 5...are you some kind of pedophile?

Guy: No, haha I go to BYU remember? Do you have a boyfriend??

Me: Haha, are you seriously asking me that…

Guy: ...ya

Me: Um, no... not any more.

Guy: GREAT!! Can I play you something else?

Me: I’d love that.

He starts singing A Decade Under the Influence. He and his band are so good I question if they are just playing me the acoustic version's of actualTBS. But there’s this part in Decade that goes, “"to hell with you and all your friends”" (my favorite part) and haha... Kobe sang it as “"heck".” The cutest thing EVER. So they finish the song. AMAZING. But my roommates are about to kill me, because Wicker Park is on hold, with only 2 scenes to go.

Me: Hey, Kobe… I gotta go. My roommates are about to disconnect the phone.

Kobe: Suck...ok, ok. Melissa?

Me: Yeah?

Kobe: Can I call you tomorrow?

Me: Ha sure.

…Better than "sweet dreams."
