I almost finished marvelous mrs maisel and my head cooked up a story! So going along my previous post of writing half cooked imagines,here comes the spoiler alert!!
Lenny and midge meet in Florida and have a whole night to themselves catching up. Lenny seems awestruck by midge,her smile! They compliment each other so well,one would often think why aren't they together yet! As Lenny and midge reach his hotel and he struggles with the keys,the door opens from inside. Lenny looks slightly taken aback but quickly a smile whips up on his face and he steps for a hug. The reader and Lenny break up from the hug and the reader exclaims that she needs to be introduced to the lovely lady standing next to the door.
"Ofcourse!",Lenny replies,as he ushers midge in and introduces the reader as his ex wife . Miriam is slightly shocked to see the reader there and smiles awkwardly. The reader smiles back warmly and starts ranting apologetically to Lenny about her sudden bussiness in Florida. She apologized to midge and Lenny sensing the palpable tension between them and made funny comments about ruining the meeting calling it a date night and bid farewell saying she didn't want to disturb the kids having some fun.
The reader and Lenny Bruce were married for 5-7 years ,Lenny was performing at a club locally during his struggling days while the reader was a student having a night off with her friends when they first met .
Miriam and her parents are invited to attend a wedding party which rose had helped with. As everyone is socialising around ,midge bumps into the reader. This time midge hugs her and asks the reader if she is stalking her. They both laugh and just chatting a little when Benjamin breaks in on their conversation,kissing the reader on her cheek and asking her if they could leave. Miriam seems surprised, slightly shaken and asks Benjamin how do they know each other. Benjamin realises who the reader was in conversation with and greets midge . Then he asks them both,"actually,how do u both know each other??" Looking confused. The reader replies," I met her in Florida when i was with Lenny! ". " Ohh,in Florida!,wait midge knows Lenny too? " Benjamin seemed surprised. The reader asked midge about how she knew benjamin,to which midge and Benjamin looked at each other. Midge stuttered,"aaah,ex.. - ex fiancé! ",Looking at Benjamin nervously. The reader smirked and brought her fingers to her face showing her engagement ring," well present fiancé! ,To answer your question before! " After a few awkward laughs at the situation and fake promises to meet again soon,they disperse into the party trying to not be around each other.
Joel opened his nightclub and midge had just arrived to support him. They normally greet each other and Joel takes her to the bar and asks her to wait!. Midge turns around and asks the girl behind the counter for a martini. The girl behind the counter turns with the drink in her and says ," seriously,we have to stop meeting like this or else call it a date! " Midge is surprised to see the reader behind the counter serving her the drink. "Tell me now,how are you here of all the places ?" Midge asks the reader chuckling! At this moment ,Joel turns up with Mei to introduce them. After a funny introduction with Mei and a little stand up, midge returns backs to her drink. The reader chuckles and says,"so the ex wife huh! I am the girlfriends best friend! " Miriam and the reader clink their drinks together and toast,"here is to the three men in our lives and how we ruin them !". The reader asks midge ,"let's have a real cup of coffee together and get to know each other better ! ". Midge agrees and says,"let's call it a date then."
