Okay... 2nd of the two... ch 21 coming soon...
Through her eyes.
Chapter 20
She's letting everyone know, letting me know... that he belongs to her! I can't say he looks like he wants to belong to her though. In all the weeks I've known him, he's never mentioned her. Not once. He's never looked so... glum as he does right now. He was fine until he got off the stage.
I couldn't look at him while I sang. I had to think. Yeah... I think about what happened here at the bar a couple of weeks ago... I also think about him, herewith her... while I sing. I'm the world's best multi-tasker! I'm lucky that Adrian picked last Saturday night to walk into the bar I happened to be playing at. I don't know if I could have handled it if he'd come the night before; the night he played here.
"What the fuck are you doing here, Rose?" He screamed at me. "You're supposed to be with Lissa." Shit... I debate if I should say that she's in the bathroom but really go call her and ask her to come rescue me... but he knows when I lie. So I come clean...
"I know... but I'm here. I want to sing."
"You can't sing."
"Yes, I can. You've just never heard me." About anything...
That night... at home... we had our last fight.
"Liss..." My voice catches... she hears. It's half past three on Sunday morning. My car holds the last 2 years of my life... and I still have room for a passenger.
"The door's open." She says. "I'll have a coffee ready when you get here."
Twenty minutes later I'm standing in the middle of her driveway, wrapped in her arms... crying. Over what, I'm not sure...
I'm still not sure, but I'm not sad anymore. I don't miss him, or his drinking and smoking. Seeing Dimitri with her... I can see he's not happy. While I may not be able to slap a 'Property of Rose' on his back... my song choice may have been a shade shy of pissing on his leg...
'I've Got You Babe.'... Made famous by Sonny & Cher... made refamous by Rose & Dimitri.
So, do you think subtlety is one of Rose's strong points? hehehe
