'Relive'

Chapter 9 -Part 1

                He made me blush, I could feel my whole blood running to my face like some kind of marathon,  turning it red. I laughed at myself, ‘’Next time I’ll make sure to have them on’’ I cheekily replied to him.

                 He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my right cheek,  ‘’So how’d you sleep?’’ he asked. I think I’m never going to get over this feeling, his skin against mine.

                I smiled and closed my eyes for two seconds, ‘’Happy, you?’’

                ‘’I bet he did.’’ Sawyer said from behind us. He didn’t seem to be that much late.

                I turned and gave Sawyer the look, the one where he  shouldn’t be saying that after he spent the night in Cher’s bed, ‘’Is Cher’s bed comfy enough for you?’’ ouch that much have hurt.

                Nathan laughed, ‘’Wow man you got owned.’’ he said as he patted his back.

                ‘’Nicely played Lena.’’ Sawyer said as he walked away.

                Nathan watched Sawyer walk away and turned me to face him, ‘’Me too.’’ he said as he kissed softly on my bare lips in front of the whole coffee shop to see. We were on public display.  I didn’t mind. He could kiss me any place and any time. I don’t care, I was his. ‘’So how about tonight, I pick you up at around seven and go to the cinema, and after we can get take-away pizza’’

                ‘’Sounds perfect,’’ I replied to him while still having his arms wrapped around my waist.

                ‘’Awesome’’  he said. He unleashed me from his possession and reached over to grab a slice of cheese cake and placed it on a plate and walked over to give it to an old lady.

                I thought work was going to be a bit awkward and tensed but, it was completely the opposite. There was flirting from time to time. For example when he slightly ran his index finger, barely touching me, down my arm causing me to breathe heavenly and sending shivers with the touch. Or when he winks as he passes by, six times and counting. It was fun. If you’re wondering, no I didn’t flirt back. I don’t know how to. My flirting is like those funny photos you see on Facebook where you have this handsome actor biting his lip and then you see Mr Bean next to it. I’m Mr Bean. If I’ll try I’ll make a complete fool of myself. So I just smile or giggle and shyly turn my head away, seeing him cheekily smiling from the corner of my eye. It’s cute.

                I was too busy gazing in Nathan’s eyes from a distant that I couldn’t focus on the real world. I heard some cough, ‘’Hey honey!’’ the most dreadful, annoying, double faced voice said. The sound of it makes me want to kill somebody. What the actual fuck is she doing here? And he, he got some courage walking again in here. I should like beat the crap out of them, both. OH! I had the greatest idea. I could vervain them  both, tie them up and lock them in my cellar, take their day time rings and let the sun creep from the window above them to burn them. If only they were vampires. I should probably stop watching series, they’re putting such strange thoughts in my mind. Damn you Damon Salvatore.

                I inhaled deeply, ‘’Desiree what a delightful present’’ I said to her holding my hands down from tearing her eyeballs out. Oh my god, I have such harsh thoughts when coming to this person. I need counselling.

                She, bitch-like, tossed her hair, ‘’So do you and your friend, Mike,’’

                ‘’It’s Nathan actually’’ I corrected her.

                She sighed, ‘’Nathan? It’s such a, how do I say it politely,’’ is she for real. I’m about to stab her right not, in front of me. I would, but I’m a good person and I have morals, ‘’anyways it’s not that important. What I was going to ask if you and Nathan would like to go to the movies with me and Jonah tomorrow?’’ she asked me blinking her eyes non stop.

                ‘’Oh I don’t know,’’ I tried to think of something to get out of it. I wasn’t going to spend a night with her for sure. God know what will happen if we spend too much time together. I think the beginning of World War III will begin.

                ‘’We’re going there tonight.’’ Nathan said from behind me. I didn’t even knew he was standing behind me. Good response Nathan, just short and simple and straight to the point. ‘’You’re more than welcome to join us if you want.’’ he finished his sentence as I immediately kicked him in his ankle. It was so fast, just like a sharp reflex action. No! You were doing so fine why did you have to say that? No Nathan no!

                ‘’Oh wonderful!’’ she said as her face lit up in excitement, ‘’well, I have to go now, Jonah is waiting for me. See you two love birds later’’ she said as she flawlessly strolled out of the shop.

It irritates me how flawless she is. Not a single zit on her forehead, no dark circles under her eyes, the perfect skin with the exact amount of suntan, with hair that doesn’t frizz. Oh, and those lips, to die for. Perfectly sculptured. A strut of a model, she has the ability to capture everyone’s attention by simply walking. She was flawless, but only on the outside. You could say that I was jealous, maybe of her lips or her hair, oh or even her skin. But that was only it. We all wish we could have better hair or a no-zit area, but that’s all. I don’t wish to be her. She was beautiful from the outside, I’m not going to lie, but from the inside, she was a monster. Maybe a monster is too harsh to say, but she could be the love child of a monster and a butterfly. Ironically, the good is only small just like the size of the butterfly.

After she left, I angrily looked at Nathan and crossed my arms, ‘’What did I do?’’ he asked as he took a bite of a blueberry muffin. Oh my! He even has the ability to eat a muffin at ten in the morning seductively. Focus Lena focus.

‘’You invited her.’’ I answered him.

He took another bite out of his muffin, ‘’I just want to get to know you’re friends’’ he said.

‘’She’s not my friend’’ I assured him of his terrible mistake, ‘’and now she going to ruin this for us.’’

‘’She sure seems to believe she is. And besides nothing in world could ruin this for us.’’ Nathan said, ‘’unless, Shailene Woodland comes in and asks me out. If so I have to reconsider ‘this’ ‘’ he said joking. I playfully punched him softly in his stomach, ‘’it will be fine.’’ he said as he threw away the paper and continued on his work.

It's not going to be fine.

It's just not.
