What the hell is she doing here?
I thought her and Ethan had some bigggg project to do that they procrastinated on.
Lizzie, who apparently didn't see me, walked up to the counter with Ethan and ordered something.
After she waited there for a few minutes, the cashier gave them their food and coffee.
When Lizzie turned back around to leave, she finally spotted me.
The sublime smile she had on her face quickly went away as she walked towards my table.
"I thought you had some stupid project," I yelled.
"You can't even say hi to me?" Lizzie replied.
"Hi, I thought you had some stupid project."
"It's not stupid."
"It may not be stupid, but it's obviously not important to you as you're here, with.him!"
"It's just Ethan. And we're taking a break. All those books and facts can be really annoying. Speaking of taking a break, who's this?"
"Hi, I'm Natalia Muniz. I just moved here," Natalia answered.
Natalia stuck out her hand to shake Lizzie's but Lizzie just glanced down at her hand and looked back up at me. Natalia slid her hand back to her drink.
"Can we talk, in clandestine?" I asked.
"Whatever you have to say, just." Lizzie began but I jumped out of my seat and gently grabbed her by the wrist while pulling her away from the table.
"I don't like being covetous. Or having invidious feelings. I've tried for a long time to not feel so frantic and needy and be so suspicious. But, I just want to remind you. I'm forlorn little Gordo. And until a year ago, if even that, I was just a friend. For as long as I've remembered, you've been attracted to and madly in love with Ethan Craft. And for all those years I cried because I didn't have you and I wanted you so desperately, you were still after Ethan. But now, now we're finally together and I don't ever want to lose you. It's just that, seeing you with.him makes me feel the same way as I used to. Feeble and dismal and I don't want to feel like that anymore."
"You should know how much I love you by now. I'm not interested in Ethan nor do I think I ever will be. It's just a project, that's all. I love you and I know you love me. But if you really do love me, you're going to have to trust me, and believe me when I tell you I don't like Ethan and that I would never do anything with him that would hurt you."
"It's kinda hard."
"Why?"
"Because you're so beautiful and so much.better than I am. I mean, who am I?"
"Where are these feelings coming from? Until today, things were never better between us. You're scaring me, Gordo, and I don't like that."
"Please, please."
"Just call me later."
Lizzie went back to the table, grabbed her food and left with Ethan.
"So, who were they?" Natalia asked me.
"That was my girlfriend and the guy she used to be madly in love with."
"So that's why you were getting all jealous boyfriend freaky guy on her."
"Well I wouldn't call it that."
"I would."
I smiled.
I needed something to make me feel better after the complete and utter display of pitiable I just showed towards Lizzie.
Oh yeah, did I need it.
