Review! Review! Review! :-)
Through his eyes...
Chapter 19
"I think the girl you sang with has the hots for you babe." Tasha says. I notice the tightness in her voice.
"Nah, she's got a boyfriend." It's the other reason I've held back. If I thought she was single... I probably would have flirted a little more by now. But she's not.
"I still think she likes you. Are you going to sing there every week?"
She's not going to stop me again... "Yeah, I miss it."
She nods her head and continues to eat. This is the first time since Friday night that she's brought up the fact that I'm singing again. I didn't think she'd take this long.
"I was hoping that we could go away this weekend."
Here we go, anything to get her way...
"I suppose we could but I've got a big case starting on Monday so we'd have to come home by midday Sunday so I can prepare. Seems a lot of hassle for an overnight trip." Hopefully she gets my meaning; that I'm not going anywhere until at least Saturday.
"We could always leave Friday night after work."
Obviously I didn't make myself clear enough... "No."
"Why not?"
"I'll be singing Friday night."
"They won't miss you for one night babe."
"No."
"It's her isn't it?" she says putting her cutlery down a little harder than necessary. I hear the bite in her voice.
I stare at her for a minute before I stand up. "No."
I'm not going to fight with her anymore. But I won't give this up again either. Plus, Rose is just a friend. I don't go there for her... well, not just for her. I just enjoy myself more knowing she's there; because we have a lot in common. She's easy to talk to. No... She's just a friend.
