Hello! Thank you so very much to all my reviewers, you are all amazing people and if it wasn't impossible, I would send you all some wedding cake! BTW, sorry it's been a while, I've been really busy this month.
Chapter 4
"Anyway, so that was what happened when I was in Corfu. Now when I finally made it to Portugal, I met Serge and well…"
Twist had been talking for 18 minutes and showed no sign of stopping. It didn't matter to her that Daisy had completely zoned out and Tim had long ago abandoned the kitchen, to grapple with Final Fantasy 7.Tim was planning to try and bring down Shin Ra and then go and draw the latest installment of his comic series. Tim had matured a lot in the past two years.
Suddenly, the door of the flat swung open, and Brian Topp, stripped to the waist and covered in splotches of paint wandered in.
"I don't suppose you have some chamois leather?" he asked. He turned to Daisy and stopped when he saw his ex girlfriend sitting at the table with her.
"Oh, hello, Brian. Still painting I see?" asked Twist in a smug, cutesy voice.
Brian paused for a moment, as though collecting himself. And then he said ;
"Yes Twist, I am still painting. After you left, I seem to come into my own and now I'm being recognized in the art world. In fact, I have an installation at the Tate Modern in a few months."
Twist stared at him. Brian seemed a little taller, a little less sketchy. He seemed stronger as well, emotionally and physically.
Twist suddenly felt annoyed. She hated it when people changed for the better and she couldn't feel superior to them anymore. So she had to take the only logical option. Take the piss.
"Oh yes, I'm sure you 'came into your own' after I left. Tell me Brian have you…"
"Twist, I will no longer take your insecure digs at me to heart. You are no longer a part of my life; you are really only a vaguely unpleasant memory. Sometimes I think we could've been good together, but ultimately, you are just a stuck up little princess and well… I'm too good for you." said Brian.
Twist's face had frozen into a mask of complete horror, broken only when she let out a noise, which written phonetically went something like 'Pffgftunwahh' as she turned and ran into the small bathroom behind her.
Brian fell to the sofa as soon as the door slammed, reached for a cushion and held it to him for protection. He also began to do that rocking thing that he only did when he was nervous.
"Do you think she knew I'd been rehearsing that for two years?" he asked Tim.
"No… it seemed pretty spontaneous." Tim turned to look at Brian. "Well done mate"
Brian smiled. Then a thought struck him.
"Maybe I should apolo-"
"No!" yelled Daisy and Tim in unison.
Tim turned back to his game, as the anime computer characters bounced around the screen. Daisy got up and headed for her bedroom.
"Right, I'm going to get ready." she said as she wandered out of the room.
"Ready for what?" asked Tim.
"Robin's taking me out for a meal, it's our 3 month anniversary." she said.
"But… but Marsha and Mike asked us out for drinks, to celebrate!" complained Tim. He knew he was being unreasonable, but he didn't really care.
"Well I'm sorry Tim, but Mike and Marsha understand. They know Robin and I are going out tonight." said Daisy.
"I just thought your friends meant more to you than that." said Tim, then instantly regretted it.
"Oh really Tim? My friends don't mean anything to me? Well, that's a good one, coming from you. When was the last time you said anything nice to me? You've been a moody wanker all month. Honestly, it's like living with a teenager sometimes. I've a good mind to take up Robin's offer!" retorted Daisy.
"What offer?" asked Tim, forgetting his anger in apprehension.
"Robin's asked me to move in with him." replied Daisy, and then she turned on her heel and headed into her room.
Tim stared at her door long after it'd been shut.
"Robin's nice, isn't he?" said Brian.
Tim turned to look at him. Brian sensed, by the look on Tim's face, that he'd said the wrong thing.
That's why you had to come back online, Becky! Please review guys!
NB If you've never played it, 'Shin Ra' is a corporation in the Final Fantasy series. It's all evil and needs stopping. Unfortunately, I don't own Final Fantasy; it belongs to the nice people at Edios. Who I really hope won't sue me as they are so lovely.
