Sing me Blues

‘’Please, just trust in me. I understand that he is still our rival. You know me, I wont do anything silly.’’

‘’Okay fine then, do what you want but if he breaks your heart don’t come running at me.’’ I scowled, obviously hurt by what he said. Rhodes rarely got mad at me, even now his tone was normal but what he said made me realize he wasn’t happy with the arrangement.

I wanted to convince him, but even if I did it wouldn’t matter. This was my personal life and at some point I had to make my own decisions. Up until now, Rhodes opinion mattered, it still did. But we were two different individuals, and our thoughts had some contradictions.

I decided to leave it to be, he would come around.

‘’What should I wear?’’ I asked him, after a little while, hoping he wasn’t that mad at me. It would suck if we fought because of Oliver,

‘’Don’t wear anything skimpy, it would give that asshole bad ideas.’’

‘’I don’t even own skimpy clothes.’’ I retorted,

‘’It’s your choice Quinn, I am not a girl. How the heck would I know?’’

‘’I can’t ask dad you know, and Drew is too small to give me actual opinions.’’

‘’What about her?’’ He asked jabbing his thumb in Stella’s direction.

Stella wore designer clothes, usually dresses, I didn’t like wearing dresses. Skirts were fine by me. Our clothing styles were too different,

‘’Not a good choice, between I don’t want them to know, they’ll make a mountain outta mole hill.’’

‘’You know they say that a person is likely to hide things when they are doing something wrong.’’ He said with a grimace,

‘’I am not having the same discussion with you again now back to the point.’’

‘’Why don’t you ask Melissa, she might know what that guy likes.’’ If I was supposing laugh on this, the joke wasn’t finny at all.

‘’Are you mocking me?’’

‘’Depends’’

‘’Melissa is already jealous of me because she saw_’’ the kiss…I wanted to say when I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t shared this with any other soul yet.

A person is likely to hide things when they are doing something wrong…

‘’Saw what Quinn?’’ Rhodes eyes were narrowed and curiosity was written all over his face. I wasn’t too great at lying, I usually didn’t get in such situation, and if I uttered a wrong word things could get bad. I wondered if Rhodes knew about the kiss – which was actually a very hot make out session – what he would do. He was against my going out with Oliver; his reaction on the kiss would be out of this world.

‘’She saw us get the highest score.’’ I completed, he nodded his head somewhat satisfied while my nerves were in relief,

‘’What does that has to do with him?’’

‘’Melissa likes him, I think.’’ He wasn’t surprised when I said that ‘’she was smooching him at the carnival.’’ Rhodes didn’t press on details, he wasn’t simply interested.

‘’Hey you two, we’re not on vacation right now, if you haven’t noticed.’’ Lana yelled from the other side of the large room. I got up making a face at her back, when I heard Rhodes say,

‘’Wear your purple silk shirt with jeans.’’ I tried to hid my smile,

‘’I can’t believe you don’t like ice cream.’’ Oliver frowned and gave me a sideways glance as we walked further in the central park which was deserted at this time of night.
