Special thanks goes out to the reader to give me my first review. :) Here ya go!
CHAPTER THREE
Neither of them spoke, the room was completely silent. Sally slowly let her eyes wander over his body while he did the same to her. It had been so long but besides his paint job, nothing had changed.
His body wasn't sleek and smooth like hers. It was more wide and angular, as if each curve was manufactured to perfection. His paint job attracted eyes while his large, powerful body commanded attention. He was the kind of guy you would pay the money out of your trunk to get to know. Females would give their two left tires just to see his smile. Even after all this time she had to admit he had the looks going for him.
She looked back to his emerald green eyes. They were full of heartache yet had a glint of happiness too. Sally refused to break the silence. He was here on her territory. She'd left him, but he was still chasing her it seemed.
"I see that the beauty of some roses never fades," he spoke at last.
He always had a way with words, she thought. However, she wasn't buying it. She had come to prefer McQueen's romantic lines. The ones she knew he spent days planning, only to mess it up when the moment came. It was so much more...meaningful.
"Well, roses have thorns you know," she shot back.
Justin smiled, "Believe me, I know."
"What are you doing here?" she asked impatiently.
"Just here on business," he replied.
"Oh really? Please elaborate, Justin," she said his name differently now.
His lips tightened, "It's confidential."
"Ha ha! Come on, I know everything about you. What could it hurt?" Sally grinned mischievously.
"No Sally. You don't know me anymore," anger lingered in his voice.
Sally's grin dropped, "Then I guess it's a two way street." The bitterness of her voice mixed into the tense air between them.
"Are you seeing anyone?" he finally asked pointedly.
"The love of my life," she said calmly.
"Oh Sal baby! Of course you are when he's parked right in front of you! Don't flatter me!" he winked.
She'd had enough of his antics. This type of thing used to delight her, now it just made her furious.
"Shut the hell up!"
Justin raised his windshield, "I'm sorry, does it bother you to talk about him? Are things difficult between you two?"
"Nothing is wrong, and it's none of your business!" she exclaimed.
"What's his name?"
Sally was about to scream at him but stopped. She narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice, "It's confidential," she said sickeningly sweet.
Justin was fuming, "We need to talk."
"No, we don't need to talk. I think you just want to talk," she said.
"Why did you leave Sally?" he asked.
"I'm not having this conversation now, or ever."
"Well, if you can't tell me then why don't you at least explain it to your parents?"
"They'll never understand," she said.
"Never understand? They don't care, they just want to know! You're a daddy's girls and I know it. Well guess what? Your dad is devastated! You were the most precious thing in his life! Your mother won't even talk about it she's so heartbroken! What did they do wrong? They deserve to know! For the love of Chrysler Sally! You're their daughter, they don't care what happened, they just want to see you again! They will love you no matter what. Clean your mirrors off, open your eyes and take a look at what you've done."
Sally's eyes dropped to the floor and she was speechless.
"And what about me?" his voice was breaking, "Your best friend? Together forever, through thick and thin, good and bad. Do you just forget? Everything we ever had? You don't have to love me but we could still make it work. Or at least try. If only you could put our relationship aside and remember what our friendship is worth."
Sally opened her mouth for words that didn't come. Her vision blurred but she could still make out the movement of Justin leaving the lobby.
Thanks for reading! More? ;)
