Chapter 95
"Bec!" I stood there wide eyes!
"Oh um....hello....I didn't expect to see you here! I was ah....I was looking for Shan!"
"Oh come in! Yeah he's just in the shower!" I stepped into the locker room still totally bewindered!
"So erm.....how's your mum?"
"Oh she's fine thanks!"
"Sarah tell me to mind my own here but ah what the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm sorta dating Shannon!" she smiled.
"Oh right! I didn't know sorry!"
"Oh well it's just like a casual thing y'know?"
I felt my anger bubbling up inside & took a deep breath! It was obvious she was playing her little games again! For those of you who either don't remember her or those who didn't read 'Freaked' let me refresh your memories! Sarah is Mary's daughter & when I first moved to America she was dating Matt! We never really liked each other & all the time I lived at Edbrook I think we just put up with each other for the sake of keeping the peace! Well I no longer lived at Edbrook so I no longer had to put up with her bullshit! If she was playing Shannon for a fool she would regret it, I'd make sure of that! Obviously Shannon felt it was more that just casual if he was willing to bring her half way around the world! That was just it with Sarah though, the fame & the dollars attracted her more than the man!
I sat down on the bench to wait for Shannon to finish his shower.
"You don't mind if I wait?"
"Ah no....I you want!"
We sat in silence for a long time! it was clear that I intimidated her from the way she figited in her seat & bit on her fingernails & I liked it that way! She needed to be aware that I cared a lot about shannon & if she messed with him she'd have me to deal with! Eventually I heard the bathroom door being opened.
"Phew that's better!" Shannon rubbed his hair with a towel. He hadn't noticed me sitting there! "I needed that!"
"Hi Shannon!" I stood up & he twirled around quickly.
"BEC! You made it!" he threw the towel onto the floor & hugged me! "Man it's so good to see you! How are you?"
"I'm doin' ok thanks!" I smiled, "It's great to see you too!"
"I saw Jeff last week he said you hadn't been well & he had Jude! Are you comming back?"
"Ah I don't know right now! Maybe!"
"Man it's so good to see you!" he hugged me again. "Sarah hun would you mind going and getting me a coffee?"
"What am I your freakin maid now?"
I stared at her. "Ok how about we go & get one!" Shannon asked me.
"Sure! let's go!" Sarah's face dropped & I smiled at her & then left them alone for a minute. Once outside I could hear raised voices.
"She's a friend ok?"
"Yeah she was Matt's friend too remember?"
That bitch! I had to try very hard not to go back in there & give her a piece of my mind! Finally I heard Shannon yell 'Whatever!" and he came out into the hall, slamming the door behind him.
"Sorry about that!" He looked at the floor.
"What are you doing?"
He laughed, "Getting laid?" I swiped his chest.
"Shan, just watch your back ok? I know what she's like! She's a vindictive little bitch!"
"Oh?"
"Sorry!" I sighed, "None of my business I know!"
"That's ok! She's....well she's not all that bad y'know? Once you get to know her!"
"I know enough!"
"You two don't really get along huh?"
"Shan.....I was just a little shocked that's all! I didn't expect to see her here! Don't worry! It doesn't matter!" I smiled & he did the same. Poor guy! Hook, line & sinker already! Damn she was good I'll give her that! But God help her if she hurt Shannon!
We eventually found the arena's restaurant & got ourselves a coffee.
"So, how's life in England then?" Shannon said as we sat down.
"Ah pretty shitty really!" I forced a smile, "I miss Cameron!"
"You miss Jeff?" he raised his eyebrows & I shrugged my shoulders. "He misses you! He won't admit it but I've known him long enough...I know what he's thinking!"
I nodded slowly, "Things got a little complicated!"
"They didn't need to be!" he smiled.
"Ah well....shit happens! so, how's things with you then?"
"Ok, yeah! Pretty good really!"
"Because of Sarah?"
"Am I that transparent?"
I smiled, "No it was just a pretty good guess that's all!"
"Hello again!" I felt a hand on my shoulder & looked up.
"Brian!" I smiled, "Hi!"
"I didn't know you were comming over?"
"Ah I didn't! I was already here!"
"Oh, right! cool!" he smiled & Shannon cleared his throat. "Oh um sorry for interrupting! I'll see you around then!"
"Yeah, see you later!"
He wandered off. "Punk!"
"Shannon!"
"Well he's always hasseling you!"
"It's no hassel! He's a nice guy!" Shannon raised his eyebrows at me. "Don't even go there! I said he was a nice guy that's all!"
"Hmmm!"
"I'm serious! He's ok but.....not my type believe me! He looks like a baby!" We both laughed & I looked over to where Brian was bending over talking to to a bunch of guys sitting at a nearby table. "Hmm...nice buns though!"
"Spare me please!"
We finished our coffee & Shannon went back to the locker room, I left him to it! I couldn't deal with any more of Sarah's shit, I'd had enough for one day! So I went off to look for Dwayne, hoping I'd see some more familiar faces on the way! It had been fun meeting up with everyone again! I don't know why I'd been so nervous aboutit in the first place!
