"talking"
'Thought'
Darkness of the soul
"You fancy goin back to that cafe?" Michaela said to Emily as they walked down the street "Which one?" Emily replied trying to keep the hair out of her face. "The the dishy guy working there, what's his name again? hank? the one you said should be a harry." she said with a puzzled look on her face. "Oh you talking about Hal?" Emily said pausing for a moment.
"Yeah! Hal, he was was dead fit. Kinda mysterious looking...I like it." she winked at Emily who was clutching her shoulder bag strap tightly, twisting it.
"yeah he was pretty mysterious...and kinda cute." Emily said blushing as she straightened out the front of her black Lolita dress. Michaela squealed in delight "It's settled we are going!"
Michaela walked into the shop swaying her head side to side as she walked smiling happily. Emily followed glancing at the disdained look on both the mens faces although the younger one hid it within an instant. Michaela sat down with a plomp and sighed forcefully and started tapping her black painted nails briefly before examining them and glancing at the men out of the corner of her eye.
Emily had already gotten her notepad out and was drawing a man in a old fashioned military uniform. She glanced up briefly "Um, can I get a cup of tea please?" she asked politely "yeah." said the younger man quickly before Hal could. He dashed into the kitchen area and boiled the kettle.
The guy came over and handed her the mug before taking the money left out on the table and heading back to his seat. "by the way what is your name? I never asked before you were too busy." Emily said with a soft smile on her face. "Tom. My name's Tom." he replied before giving a look to Hal. Emily smiled to herself before going back to her drawing giving the final details on the coat before moving on to the head.
Hal got up and made his way over to the table, Emily glanced up at him before glancing back at her drawing. "So, are you having a nice evening?" he said looking at Michaela,'never me' Emily thought begrudgingly to herself.
"J.k. Rowling used to write in a cafe, you know" Michaela said not looking at him staring out the window and something and nothing.
"Did he?" Hal replied confused "She. She wrote the Harry Potter books" Emily muttered loud enough for him to hear.
"I never used to understand why. But I get it now. Finally." Michaela continued laughing at herself "You know, from here, you can see all the passing warp and ..woof of humanity..."
"Woof?" Emily questioned only to be ignored so she went back to her drawing.
"...in all it's glory and it's despair" she finished in softer voice the men looked confused. "Maybe, one day, years from now people will ask you which table I sat at"
"It's quite a thought." Hal said "Isn't it." "yes, me still here in a year..." Emily giggled at his comment before reaching for her colours.
Hal suddenly sat down next to Emily making her glance and him in shock but he kept his eyes on Michaela who was also staring at him in curiosity. He looked her up and down for a moment before saying.
"That's a really nice look you've got going there, the both of you." he said confidently "Nice?" Michaela said almost outraged at him, he mutter a quick sorry before muttering "This is one of those things where negative is positive, inst it? Hang on. I know this one." he said before licking his lips 'I know this one? what is this a game or something?' Emily thought to herself. Hal continued "It's really bad."
Emily Sniggered to herself earning a pleading look from Hal. "Get you, Vanilla Ice (!)" she muttered sarcastically before scoffing and looking out the window. "look whatever the word is to compliment it, pretend I said it." Michaela glared at him and Emily gulped a little before adding shading to the jacket in her drawing. "Don't you have, like, floors to mop, or something?" she said harshly waving him away.
Emily frowned whispering to Michaela "He is not some kinda of servant of yours Micky stop waving him away." Michaela glared at her slightly. Hal then whispered very desperately "please"? Emily heart gave a painful twist and she found herself gasping harshly.
"Yes! Anything else" Michaela said harshly and waved her hands around. Hal got up and walked away slowly and Emily found herself missing the heat, she glanced up at his retreating figure to see him slap hands with Tom who sighed and stepped closer to our table.
"Er, I like your tights. You look like a bee, and I like bees." he said somewhat emotionlessly. Micky looked up at Tom and said in a similar tone "Are you coming on to me?" to which Tom replied "I don't know. Is that like chatting up?"
Micky groaned "Ugh, no offence, but, like, I'm into guys that are just a little bit more edgy." she looked him up and down before swirling her index finger at him "You know, a little bit more darkness about them." to which they both started laughing and Emily just stared at her with sad eyes and an expressionless face.
"Are you laughing at me? You'd better not be laughing at me." Micky said trying to be intimidating, "No, we weren't, honestly." Tom said "Sorry, it's just, um, a private joke, you see. We're actually both quite dark in our own little ways." Hal responded to Tom. "well, He's darker then me. I'm dark occasionally." Tom laughed slightly.
"Micky you know that some people can be very dark yet look very normal." Emily said in a quiet voice but everyone heard.
"Are you simple, or something" Micky said talking to Tom "MICKY!" Emily gasped in shock at her friend. "Here's and idea, order something or get out!" Hal said slightly angry.
"Fine, Then I guess I'm leaving, you coming Em?" Micky said making for the door "I'm staying." Emily said and Micky just looked at her before pulling huffing a childish face and leaving slamming the door behind her.
"I didn't like her. I don't even think I want her number" Tom said "that's what this was? you just wanted her number" Emily chuckled slightly they both looked at her as if they forgot her. "Sorry about Micky, she is usually very...charming, but I think Hal touched a nerve, you see, she has this whole "I'm so dark" thing, that she wants people to believe so badly. But there is no need to be rude and insulting. So I apologize on her behalf." Emily said before sipping her tea and going back to her drawing.
Hal and Tom moved closer to her as she coloured her drawing. "Uh, Emily? what you doin'?" Tom asked looking at her book. she looked back up and smiled "I vent my emotions into art and poetry, somewhat like Micky only I do mine from a dream I have repeatedly. not because I enjoy this dark theme" she said glancing down and her drawing the boys sat down across from her.
"Can we see? if its not too personal." Hal asked nicely looking at her face. Emily smiled and nodded.
As she was about to let them see she glanced down at the picture she just drew and gasped she had just finished the shading the picture and realized it looked exactly like Hal, only he had a well groomed mustache. she glanced up him and then black at her drawing. She was gasping for air and she felt like she couldn't breathe her heart was racing.
"I need some air!" she nearly shouted out breathlessly standing up and moving out of the cubicle Hal - who was sat at the edge shot up "What wrong with her" Tom said panicking slightly "She is having a panic attack. suddenly she went wobbly and Hal grabbed her by her arms to hold her up. She gasped and suddenly she passed out falling limp in Hal's arms who panicked and quickly lay her down on the seat before backing away.
Hal glanced at the Journal and picked it up looking at the picture inside, He gasped it was him. 'But...How?...' he glanced at her unconscious face and it occurred to him why he couldn't bring himself to look at her. 'She looks like Amelia"
