Now What?

Now what thought Barry as he was checking the internet. Here was Scott Nevins over on Facebook telling everyone about him and Barry.  I have someone you idiot my wife Carly Manilow. Why do you keep on insisting that I'm gay when I'm not. Barry sat back in his computer chair. He could see her. Five foot six inches tall, medium blonde hair to her shoulders, blue eyes and one hundred twenty five pounds. Like he said four years ago Carly was a dynamo in a small package. Barry was totally in love with Carly. He got up and went to get their wedding album. He looked through all the photos. Carly looked so beautiful on their wedding day. He remembered when they went outside after they got married. Carly told Barry she had married her best friend which was him. There was the photo of them dancing their first dance to "I Just Want To Be The One In Your Life." His dear friend Melissa Manchester sand that song. She also sang "Looking Through The Eyes Of Love." from the movie Ice Castles as everyone walked down the aisle. He saw the photo of them feeding each other a piece of the raspberry torte wedding cake.  Just then he heard foot steps coming up the stairs. Barry turned to see who it was. There she stood in her khakis and boots. Damn he thought Carly looked so good in anything she wore. How was your day? Carly asked Barry. Ok said Barry except Scott Nevins was over on Facebook telling everyone about him and me said Barry. I looked at the computer screen and called him an idiot. Did it make you feel any better? asked Carly. Yes well sort of said Barry. What do saw we dress up to the nines and go into Manhattan for dinner? said Carly. Marc was able to score opening night tickets to the musical  Smokey's Café. He stopped by the zoo to drop them off. He figured that if we went to opening night we'd get photographed and end up in tomorrows New York Posts Page Six. The more exposure we get as a couple the more the public won't be thinking about you and Scott being an item. So Carly went down to the second floor to get ready. While she was in the bathroom Barry came in and got his black dress suite, white shirt, black  socks, black tie and shoes. He went up stairs to the third floor. Where he quickly took a shower in the guest bathroom. He went back down to put his clothes away. He went into the bedroom and there stood Carly. Oh wow! said Barry. Don't you look beautiful. Carly had on a sleeveless black dress with a full skirt beige nylons and black heals She also had on her dress watch and a strand of pearls. Carly told Barry Marc had gotten them a limo for the evening. They were going out to dinner first. Marc had made them reservations at Felida at 245 E. 58th St. Felida was owned by Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali. Felida was an Italian restaurant., After dinner they made their way over to the theatre to see  the musical Smokey's Café . Oh my was the paparazzi out in full force thought Carly. One of them asked if he could take her picture. He asked her who she was with? My husband Barry Manilow Carly replied. The paparazzi took their picture. Then a whole bunch more took pictures of the two of them together. Carly said is that Bette Midler over there? as she pointed at the couple just coming out of the limo. Sure is said Barry Bette and Martin walked over and she said hi to Barry. Bette this is Carly said Barry. Hi said Bette to Carly. So you're Barry's date? she asked. Actually she's my wife said Barry. Oh so your Barry's wife said Bette. Bette said to Barry what a donkey's rear end Scott Nevins is. I saw his rant on Facebook about him and you being an item. You played in a bathhouse   twice  and they think your automatically gay said Barry. Then here came Lorna Luft and her husband Colin Freeman. Barry gave Lorna a kiss on her cheek and asked her how she was doing. Lorna said she was doing ok. So this is Carly said Lorna. Yes said Barry this is Carly. You'll have to come over and see our wedding video since you couldn't come to our wedding he said. Did Susie Q. come to your wedding? asked Lorna. No said Barry I didn't invite her. She did that Bravo show in February where she told the host that I had married my manager Garry Kief. Then there's Scott Nevins who been telling everyone that he and I are married. That's because Garry Kief is straight and according  to Scott I'm not. He was ranting on Facebook earlier today. I called him an idiot while I looked at his rant on the screen. Don't worry about him said Lorna. He's not worth you thinking about him. It made Barry feel a little better to scream at the computer screen today said Carly. Scott even found out we were in Montreal for our honeymoon. Thank God we had chosen a fake hotel. That's where we went after we got to Montreal. Scott met us in the lobby of that hotel. He wanted t be alone with Barry so I left and went to the bar for a soda said Carly. Scott kissed Barry and tried to get intimate in the lobby with him. But Barry got up and left to hit the elevator. Someone else went into the elevator with Barry. The other person pressed their floor number and Barry pressed a higher number. However Barry got off on the same floor as the person who rode up in the elevator with him. Barry gave that person an autograph said Carly. He then took the stairs down and we high tailed it out of there. We then caught a cab to our actual hotel. I'm sure Scott had a field day trying to find what room he thought Barry went to said Carly. There's more than one way to skin a cat said Barry. We never saw Scott after that. So our honeymoon was wonderful said Carly. Now what are you up to Barry? asked Lorna. Well I'm doing an album signing on Tuesday at Rough Trade records in Brooklyn. We're still in rehearsals for Here At The Mayflower. Ok said Lorna. I should be ready to go next week. That will be great said Barry. Then after previews and opening night I'm off to London to do an album signing for 2:00AM Paradise Café II. I'll also be on a few UK talk shows wile I'm over there said Barry.  They went and got their seats The musical was super. When it was over Barry and Carly went outside to get into their limo.  Yesterday on Facebook some fan named Doreen asked her friend Rachel if she was going to the shows this year in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. I thought when did Barry announce shows in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. Right now your musical Here At The Mayflower is in rehearsals. It opens for pre-views September third and goes to October third. Then opening night is Tuesday October sixth. You leave on Saturday October twenty-fourth to promote 2:00AM Paradise Café II in London. Your doing an album signing plus some radio and TV shows while you are over there. You'll be back by Tuesday November third said Carly. Then I'm some much needed "ME" and "US"
