I just carry on walking and have no idea where I'm going, suddenly I find
myself standing at Claire's parents house. I slowly walk down the path and
knock on the door, I still have no idea why I'm here. Nina opens the door
and looks really pleased to see me but then again Claire's family have
always welcomed me with open arms. I took Claire home with me a few times
and my parents absolutely adored her and keep asking when she will be
coming again and now maybe it will happen after what happened between me
and Claire last night.
Nina: Ian, How are you?
Nina hugs me and I kiss her on the cheek before walking into the house. Claire's dad is sitting watching TV in the front room, it's football and Chelsea and Newcastle are playing.
Nina: Go in and sit down with Bob. Would you like a beer?
No thank you Nina I'm fine.
I sit in the front room with Nina and Bob talking and making jokes. I'm pleased I get on so well with them, they really are nice people. A while later the front door opens and I expect to see Claire's sister Gemma walk in but instead its Claire.
Claire: What's he doing here?
Nina: Don't be rude Claire.
Claire: Well what's he doing here?
I can tell that Claire is really angry from the tone of her voice but what have I done? I can't think of anything. I quickly think of an answer that isn't going to get me in more trouble.
I was just passing that's all.
Bob tries to change the subject as he can tell Claire is in a mood but unfortunately he changes the subject to Mark. I expect Claire to go mad and tell them everything but she definitely doesn't do that.
Bob: Where's Mark hunny?
Claire: At home watching the football.
Bob: Well why don't you ring him and invite him round to watch it with me? If you want to that is.
Claire: Yeah sure I'll just ring him.
A few minutes later Mark walks into the room and sits next to Claire, there all over each other and it makes me feel sick. He keeps kissing her neck and she keeps kissing him back and it's as if nothing ever happened between Claire and me. I knew she was confused and didn't really want me. I make my excuses and run from the room, as I get to the end of the path I turn around and see Nina standing there looking very worried, I run back up the path and tell her I'm ok before kissing her and running off again.
Later that night and I am sitting on the bed thinking about Claire, a few moments later she walks in and starts to pick up her things from around the room. I'm not sure whether I should talk to her but in the end I can't resist.
What are you doing?
Claire: What does it look like, I wish you would use your brain.
Sorry, next time I won't bother speaking to you.
Claire: WHY THE HELL DID YOU GO AND SEE MY PARENTS FOR? GOING TO TELL THEM WHAT I'VE BEEN HIDING FROM THEM WERE YOU?
I'm worried about her and I'm also extremely angry with her but I don't want to be. I try to hide my anger but I don't succeed.
DON'T YOU START SHOUTING AT ME YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S DOING WRONG HERE. YOU USED ME CLAIRE.
Claire turns and slaps me around the face and believe me it really hurt, I move my hand up and hold my face. I'm completely shocked that she had actually hit me. I look at her and she just looks back at me. I give her an evil look and tell her she's just a stupid tart, I didn't mean to say it. It just slipped out and I don't really think that of her at all.
Claire: YOU BASTERD!
GET OUT, GO ON GO BACK TO MARK.
Claire: H don't be like this I need Mark.
You don't need him.
Claire: Yes, yes I do.
With that Claire runs from the room leaving all her stuff behind, she slams the door behind her. I sit on the bed with my head in my hands, I don't know what to feel, I've never been good with emotions. But one thing I know for sure is that I love Claire and I want her.
Nina: Ian, How are you?
Nina hugs me and I kiss her on the cheek before walking into the house. Claire's dad is sitting watching TV in the front room, it's football and Chelsea and Newcastle are playing.
