When Seamus met Helen
It really started with a simple conversation between friends. It was all well meant and all in fun but it was the begging of the end for Helen Zzas.
"What do you mean I've dated ALMOST every dangerous guy in school? I thought I HAD dated every guy in school." Helen said laughing at Jake's last remark. She was hanging out with her two best friends at their usual table in the cafeteria. Jake was a purple haired punk friend that she had had since entering the high school 2 years ago. Her other friend that was to busy laughing her head off to talk. She was Ann, The Auburn Goth, and a friend since she stepped into the cafeteria on the first day of school. They had even met at this very table.
"Oh there's loads of bad dudes you haven't dated yet." Jake said taking a swig off his Pepsi.
"Oh yeah name one." Ann said between her laughter.
"Him." Jake said pointing over Helen's shoulder. She turned only half interested. She froze taking in the sight. You know that feeling like the world is in slow motion and all you can see is that one guy? Yeah, like that.
He was in the senior section of the cafeteria but he looked older, maybe held back a year or two. He had on this skintight black Tee with AC/DC in sliver on the front. Combined with his liquid brown pants it was almost enough to make you melt.
"Who?" Ann asked craning to see behind her.
"O'Grady." Jake said nodding his head at the head of the table.
"The Irish dude? What about him?" Ann asked looking him over.
"What did you say his name was?" Helen asked still looking at him.
"Seamus O'Grady." Jake said off handedly about to continue with Ann when Helen stood up. "Hey what are you doing?" Jake said alarmed standing as well. She didn't respond but started off in the direction of the Irish table.
Before anyone could stop her she had crossed the floor and at the table. She slammed her hand down on the table in front of Seamus silencing any talk and getting his full attention. At first he only looked at her hand, then his eyes rose to see her.
"Hey thar." He said.
"Hello yourself." She said with a mischievous grin. She liked the accent.
"You mind my asking what you ar' doing har?" He asked.
"You're taking me out tomorrow." She informed him. A wide grin broke over his face as he leaded back in his seat to see her better.
"Am I now?" He said with more warmth and amusement in his voice now.
"Yes you are." She said seriously. With one hand she picked up his hand and with the other she whipped out a pen from somewhere in her pants. "And you're going to pick me up here at 9." She said writing something on his hand. He looked her up and down thinking the offer over.
She snapped the pen close, spun on her heel, and headed back to her table. This would be the first time Seamus got a look at her ass. He sat straight up in his seat as if he'd been shot. If the lively spirit of the girl and her full putting lips didn't do anything for him that ass sure did. He didn't deny it he was an ass man, and what an ass! It was like perfection in denim.
"Who the hell was that?" Connor said craning his neck around to still watch her. Seamus looked at his hand.
"Helen apparently." He said reading his hand.
"Helen Zzas." Angus said to Seamus. Seamus grinned.
"You're kidding." He has looking around him to again admire he retreating form.
"Nope I'm not. So what's it gonna be Seamus? Going to get a little Zzas to tomorrow?" Angus pressed.
"Hell yeah, I got free time." Seamus said easily laughing along with his buddies. For Helen it was different.
"What the fuck are you thinking?" Jake hissed at her returning to the table.
"Dating every bad guy in school, duh." She said sitting down.
"Helen that guy is dangerous, really dangerous." Jake insisted.
"No more than any other guy." She replied.
"Yes more than any other guy. He's an O'Grady, as is the Irish Mob O'Grady's. You don't mess with an O'Graydee, they either get tired of you or they kill you." Jake said glancing at the table where they were laughing it up.
"Oh that's a load of bull Jake. Give me a break it's just a fucking date." With this she rose from the table, grabbed her bag, and stormed out of the cafeteria.
"Why did I have to open my big mouth?" He said to Ann. She just watched Helen go in silence.
(AN: I love the story Fasting the Past, I had the idea too and was very happy to see someone posted it. But it got me thinking 'How did they meet and what happen to them to end it the way it did?' I'm trying to answer these questions and ok I don't know how to write an Irish accent so maybe I'll stop trying. Next time their first date if I decide to keep writing. I'm not sure if anyone likes this type of story so I may not continue with it.)
