On a cold cold day

"What is it? You, need from me?" Kramer knew that look on Ollie's face. He'd gotten off the phone with Holly who was giving him the third degree over Dara. Even when Holly wasn't here, she was the big sis she always was, reaching out to make his life miserable.

"Nothing." Ollie said. They were meeting up at the grocery store. Kramer was getting off. Ollie was coming on. It was like changing of the guard in Siberia at the icy and black snow parking lot.

"You..you like Dara, don't you?" Kramer wanted to know. He'd made a mistake of sending Holly a picture of her. She said Dara was too fat and looked like she needed to be in a zoo. It was hurtful to hear, because he was very much taken with Dara.

She could cook. She would buy him things and well, she was a QUEEN in bed and her bed was actually king sized.

"Oh..I don't really know her, but I'm sure she's nice." Ollie nodded, telling him he needed someone nice after all the hell he went through with Birdie and losing Natalie to the Flower Boy, Joon.

"She works at a bank you know, not  just..one of  those..teller, you see, but a really good job..where..she doesn't even have to work at the bank, but she can work at home and she even trains people in Arizona and she..she won this trip to Hawaii ..and..and she wants me to go with her." Kramer told him.

"Wow, that's great." Ollie's smile was open as if he was pleased for Kramer.

Kramer gave him a big hug and thanked him for being happy for him. "You're, the best, man." He grinned. "How... you doing ...with the ladies, these days?"

Ollie gritted a smile, but Kramer knew something had to be up. Ollie was happy.

"It's nothing really." He stuffed his cold hands into the pockets of his skinny jeans.

"You, can tell me, man..you can tell me, anything." Kramer wanted to guess. "You and Candy?" He hit him on the shoulder. ready to play fight.

Ollie shook his head, no and did his best not to let it show that he got lucky.

"Oh man, you and Ivy? Finally?" Kramer questioned with kissy lips as he did a dance just to keep warm in the cold.

"You, don't know her." Ollie said.

"You...just don't want me to know. I tell you everything about Dara." Kramer furrowed his brow.

"Yes, you do." Ollie nodded. "Um, I dunno, I want to think it's OK. But..I don't really know, sometimes."

"Does she have a boyfriend?" Kramer asked.

Ollie pouted with a nod.

"Well, you should make a stand." Kramer told him.

"Its not that easy." Ollie bit his bottom lip. He stared at Kramer who could see the tears in his eyes.

"Oh..man..you really got it bad..don't you? Who is she?" Kramer wanted to know, but Ollie wouldn't tell.
