Chapter 1: Missing Links
Mechanically she passed a napkin. Looking up she found he was looking elsewhere at the others -his cast. Had his eyes always been that blue ,because she had never noticed. Eyes that read her like a book - saw things she tried to hide. How old could he be..35 maybe 40. His tie..God it was brilliantly yellow. Suddenly he seemed very human.
"And its only love..that can break a human being & turn him inside out...." Heart like a Wheel . What was his story? Amazed she realized she wanted very much to know.
Excerpt from What you need to know....
he said he would never let me fall ...and then to prove his point he kicked my feet out from under me- falling into his arms so easily.
I still love him as much as i did that day when it just hit me like an unexpected blow. I don't know how it happened ;one day he was nothing in my life just a flicker and in a moment that changed forever. It was like something clicked a light on and i was frozen in disbelief. I loved this man who i didn't even know.
Across the room Dimitri stood lost in thought. A blank expression on his face. His face a moving picture ,more often than not , it was capable at times of showing so many truths -but he never realized that.
Grace had moved away from Lily now as Rick had entered and joined them at the table. Grace crossed the room moving through the other students to reach the stereo and scattered cds. Ah the Goo Goo Dolls:
"I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose ,tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send, lost or thrown away....
You could hide beside me maybe for a while
And i won't tell no one your dream
I won't tell them your name"
She had wanted to taste his wine! He stopped himself -Don't even think of the symbolism.
Dimitri's eyes flicked , caught her movement and followed her. Only Jessie noticed as he walked with an unrealized purpose towards the stereo. Jessie dismissed the thought - Grace was always the favorite. Jessie wondered where was Eli.
Dimitri- (with a small smile) Ah, music the modern poets vehicle. What is Shakespeare when you can have Incubus. So have you have a decison ?
He leans in to sort through cd pile. Shoulder accidently brushing shoulder . Accidently on purpose ?
Grace- I think I have....
She is cut off.
Eli and Jessie together approach.
Eli- Let me see ...
His arm goes between Grace and Dimitri to pick up a disc. Dimitri backed away to observe the scene with honest interest. The actors without scripts what would they say.
Eli -I think i've got it. Rick Springfield- Jessie's Girl...
"I play along with the charade ..that doesn't seem to be a reason to change "
Eli grabs his sister and laughing they head for a group of students in distance.
With seeming absentmind he pushed a cup- his cup towards her.
-Would you like a drink? I mean...
The question hung in the air . In her eyes he saw confusion then acceptance . A conspiratory smile. She took the cup.
-Thank you
Suddenly his mind was filled with thoughts - what was happening all so alarmingly fast .He turned to leave.
-Fair Rosalind.
That night before sleep his thoughts again returned to the stage. He was relieved -proud of the courage- the effort shown by them all and the play a hard-earned success. If only I could bear my soul like that. Drifting he began to think of words- emotions ..fleeting thoughts and possibilities of capture by the pen. Last he remembered her eyes- so sad ...an ideal .. true emotion captured in memory.
"There is no truth in him .." he heard the words.
In the next 2 weeks that followed before the Holiday break in classes ..several writing projects assigned and handed in.
No mention of the Musician anymore.
A new intruding character appeared ..the Queen.
To be continued ..
