'It's been weeks Aisla, get over him!' One side of her mind kept
saying but the other was quietly reminding her of the one thing she wanted
to forget. 'It's been three months Aise too long.' Aisla was sitting on her
bed staring at the wall, lost in thought. These past weeks she had spent
most of her time with Earl avoiding both Danny and Evelyn. Suddenly her
phone rang, startling her, she put a hand to her racing heart, and grabbed
the phone, "Hello?"
"Aise, how come you haven't called or talked to me since that night?"
"I've been busy Tony."
"Not busy enough to stop flying though."
"Don't Tony, I'm not in a good mood."
"Well tonight your going out with me and the boys, Danny and Evelyn aren't coming so your safe."
Aisla laughed, "Fine I'll come, where and when?"
"The Hula Hut; at seven."
"See you then," After she hung up she realized that was the first time she had laughed since finding out about Danny. Instantly her smile faded, "Stupid son of a .."
*~*~*~*~*~*
That night when Aisla walked into the Hula hut she was greeted by cheers and whistles. Smiling she walked to Tony's table, he sat with Red Goose, and Bobby. Aisla sat between Bobby and Tony, "Hey guys." Then some guy came to see if she wanted anything to drink so she ordered a margurita.
The five of them had been sitting there talking and joking for about two hours when a tall, broad shouldered man stormed up to the bar and ordered a whiskey. Red and Tony had gone incredibly pale and were staring at the man. "Tony?" When he didn't answer Aisla smacked him upside the head causing the stranger to turn his attention to them.
He nodded in greeting, "Red, Tony."
Aisla studied him and thought he looked familiar, "Who are you?" Red and Tony looked at her strangely but she just shrugged them off.
He stood and walked to our table and held out a hand, "Rafe McCawley."
Her jaw dropped but she quickly recovered and held out her hand, "Aisla O'Hara." Now it was his turn to look surprised but he as well recovered quickly.
"I'm very sorry about your brother, he was a great pilot."
Aisla smiled softly, "Yes he was but you Lietenant must be one hell of a flyer. Con hardly compliments pilots, he's to critical. For some reason he took a great interest in you."
Rafe winked and then Red and Tony congratulated him and began asking him questions about the war. Aisla wasn't really interested in knowing about what had happened so she zoned out and started playing with her straw. She hadn't even noticed Danny walk in but she did notice it when it became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. She looked up and her breath caught in her throat, there was Danny getting into an argument with Rafe.
Tony placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder but she shrugged him off and listened to the argument, while studying Danny. That's when it hit her, they were arguing over Evelyn. 'Of course, what did you think? He actually felt for you? NOT POSSIBLE!' She felt the tears coming and knew if she didn't' get out of there soon she'd break down. She stood up so quickly her chair crashed against the wall but neither combatant noticed, though everyone sitting with her did. They looked at her with pity in their eyes and she just couldn't take it. She quickly walked out the front entrance and to her car. As she was about to climb in Tony put a hand on her shoulder, she turned towards him and buried her head in his chest crying.
"Why Tony? I just don't understand why," Tony murmured nonsense words and tried to comfort her. After a few minutes she felt better and pulled away wiping her eyes, she smiled a small smile up at Tony. "Thank you, go have fun, and I'll call you tomorrow." He looked reluctant to do this but finally nodded and headed inside as Aisla got inside her car and drove home.
*~*~*~*~*
When Tony walked back into the Hula Hut he picked up his empty shot glass and threw it against the wall, shattering it. Red gave him a curious look but Tony ignored him, grabbed his coat and stormed out of the bar, deep in thought. 'God it's between one of my best friends and the girl like a sister to me. Damn it! Danny was wrong and he had better stay the hell away from me or I can't be held responsible for what I do to him.
A.N. Alright it's almost done, just like 6 or 7 more chapters.
