We must have sat there staring into each other's eyes forever. It felt like hours. Finally, Audrey noticed I had been silent for much too long. She followed my eyes.
"Ooooooh! Who's the hottie?" She squealed "He is soo into you! And apparently the feelings are mutual! I've never seen you like this." She said
"Whatever happened to playing hard to get, Em? You're practically drooling and I'm sure Mr. Sexy over there doesn't want a girl who drools!" She said, nudging me so that I had to stop the subconscious staring contest I was having with Sean.
"Audrey" I said, looking her straight in the eye. "I'm not just staring at some random guy" I explained as a look of confusion spread over her face, "That's Sean Cameron, the guy I dated throughout high school."
"OMIGOD!" She practically shouted "You mean the guy who went to jail? You said he was cute, but you sold him short. He is gorgeous! Like beyond gorgeous. Wait…" She paused questioningly "I thought he was in the army?"
"So did I." I said. Why was Sean here? Shouldn't he be out getting himself killed? I mean, I'm glad he's out, I was always strongly against his decision to go into the army. But, it didn't make sense. If he was out, why hadn't he told me? He could've called or wrote. And why was he in Maine? Especially in some small town, it wouldn't be easy to get a job with only a GED.
Why wasn't he with Jay, in California? They were inseparable. Sure, after I told him about the whole "incident" after the school shooting, they had definitely drifted, but it had seemed like when Sean left they were on good terms.
I'm over thinking this. I should just go over and say hi. Why does it seem like my feet are now a part of the floor? I mean, this is Sean we're talking about. We've been through everything together. He was there when Snake had cancer, when I thought I was pregnant and when he stole Snake's laptop, saw his parents in Wasega, went to jail, and got kicked out of school. We had literally survived it all, but I could even walk 20 feet, across a bar to say hi to him. Hell, I don't even think I can turn around.
"Is he still looking at me?" I whispered to Audrey
She turned around, "Uhhh, not exactly" She said with a worried expression pasted on her face.
I slowly turned around to sneak other peek at the gorgeous man I once called my boyfriend and was horrified. Maybe a minute ago he had been staring into my eyes, but it felt more like he was staring into my soul. And now, less than sixty seconds later, there was some bottle blonde bimbo all over him.
She was wearing way too much make up, her hair was obviously dyed and her outfit made me feel ashamed to be a woman. It was some skimpy glittery little number that made her seem like a piece of meat. Didn't she know that with clothes like that, she was only going to get the type of men who look for that? The men that would buy her drinks would all be wanting some cheap slut, because that's how she was dressed. I will never understand why women objectify themselves like that. I understand wanting to have a man in your life. But I wouldn't just want any man, I would want a good man. And no woman should have to resort to wearing that to get men's attention.
While I was enraged with jealousy and disdain, I had actually managed to feel sorry for this girl. She craved attention, probably because she had been deprived of it as a child, and that certainly was not her fault.
As I came back to reality I realized that Sean was not at all into her. He was squirming around and from the look on her face, he was turning her down.
When our eyes met again I felt a rush a adrenaline. It was just what I needed to get the courage to go over there. As I stood up, Audrey let out a large dramatic gasp. I walked over there and simply said, "Hi Sean" like it was the easiest most natural thing in the world. Which, it really should've been. He stared up at me, as if in awe that I had the ability to talk.
"Uh, H Hi Em Emma" He responded, stumbling over his words like he did in grade seven.
I pretended to be very interested as he introduced me to his friends, shooting the bottle blonde a glare as he said hers.
"Hey, wait a minute man" One of his friends said "Isn't that the chick that you have that picture of under your pillow?"
"Shut up Goodman" He growled at his friend, his infamous temper flaring up.
I giggled and again Sean gave me this look as though he didn't know I could giggle.
"Why don't we go talk somewhere more private?" He said as he lead me towards the bar. I hadn't even realized I was drunk until I almost fell on top of him.
I know it wasn't very eventful, but I'm still trying to figure out where to go with this. Leave a review if you have any ideas!
