Metamorphosis: Part 2 [PG-13]
"What if I'm an outlaw out for your head, huh?" I ask playfully, using my hand as a 'gun' that I point at Gene.
He hits my hand away and scoffs.
"Yeah right. -You're way too scrawny to be an outlaw..." he says before mumbleing "A good one anyway....." I put my hand back to my side of the table as I watch him smile.. "And why would you be out for me in paticular?" He asks... looking at me like he's smart.
I shrugg.
"It's just a point I'm trying to get through.... Well.. it would have been if I didn't know you were pretending to not know me."
His 'smartness' fades at my words.... Either because it was a hard statement to catch... or that he was shocked I knew- that he knew, who I am already.
"Hey, Gene.... " a waitress approaches us- and when seeing her.. Gene smiles once more, as he stands up... eyeing the girl's low trimmed skirt as he does....
"Hey, baby.. It's been while huh? Did you miss me like I missed you?" He plants a cheesy line on her before his hands on her body... I roll my eyes as I put myelbow on the table, and rest my hand on my forehead.
"I just saw you yesterday, Gene." She giggles, enjoying Gene's touch... I start to play with my glass after I consume what's left of the cheap liquor...
"Was that only yesterday? It feels like it's been forever." His hands are becoming more adventurous, I see....
"Can I get another drink?" I ask the waitress- who stares at me like I'm a cockroach... I guess it was kind of rude... But.. I really need a drink.. and... Hey! She's a waitress. I also accomplish another goal as I see Gene's hands.. and eyes slip from the girl. -She notices this of Gene as well... and ignores me.
"That reminds me." ..Her voice is different now... Serious, like her changed face. "You promised last night that whenever you came back... you'd pay off all you debts."
Gene then smiles, and holds the girl by the shoulders.
"Of course.. You know I always keep my word." He says, making her face soften once more, into an easy giggle.. making me want a drink even more.
"So where's the money?" She asks, looking at Gene like he were paying for her...
I then notice Gene is looking at me.. with a smile on his face. I'm caught off guard and my glass almost falls.... I can just tell he has something tricky up his sleeve.
"My friend Jim here said he'd take care of my bill... Isn't that right Jim?" ...I knew the words before they even came from his mouth. I knew he was just pretending! The stupid jerk...
The girl looks at me, with no emotion... and I just stare at Gene... trying to hold in my anger.
"No.. actually I think that is very wrong, Gene..." I say as I begin to get up... "I'm gonna go now."
The waitress is mad.. but it seems only when Gene leaves her side, to come up to me, with a smile as he slaps my shoulder- making me fall back into my chair.
"You're such a kidder, Jim!" Gene laughs, but the waitress is not amused.... Neither am I. -Even Gene's own smile disappears once I kick him in the shin, under the table.
He holds back any shouts of pain... But I can tell by his solem face.. that it hurt him.
"We'll have the money in just one minute, Iris." He tells the waitress... She eyes me once more with a frown befores she turns and goes off somewhere else.
Gene sits down, with a red face...
"I can't believe you kicked me like that!" He says.. as if he has any right to..
So I kick him again.
"What!? ..I can't believe you tried to screw me over like that!" ..I'm trying my best to keep my voice down... I see the waitress whispering to the bartender... looking at the two of us.. and I know we don't need the extra attention.
"Stop kicking me!" Gene grabs me leg.. and I grit my teeth, growling some at him. "We made a deal..." he says under his breath.
"You mean you made a deal, you jerk!" I restate for him- before I go to kick once more- this time with my other leg.. ... But before I can even make contact with his other shin... he grabs my leg..
He now has hold of both my legs- and I look at him, my face red with anger.
-And before I can even protest- I feel myslef being pulled under the table by my two legs- causing me to just about hit my head on the side of the table that I find myself under... That is.. after I land painfully on my bottom.
I go to sit back up in my chair... but Gene comes under the table...
He's smiling...
"You asshole..." I say through clenched teeth.
"You shouldn't kick people.." He 'lectures' me, as he comes closer.
"Well you shouldn't try and cheat people into paying for your debts- your drinks- whatever shit you're trying to pull!" I almost get really mad- and almost don't even care if anyone notices.... But then, he comes even closer...
"You've grown so much, Jim..." Gene whispers.. his hand on my chin... And I see something different in his face... in his eyes... Even in the darkness from being under the table... -Maybe I'm just gullible. I only hope the table's darkness conceals the blush I feel crowding my cheeks.
He stares at me a while longer.... As well as I do him...
He's really very good-looking... A handsome face.. tough looking- but cute at the same time. And a great body, from what I could see... I can tell he is very strong...Even with just his hand on my chin.. And I can't help but wonder... what his hands would feel like on me... -And I can't believe I'm thinking this! Esspecially after what he tried to do to me!
But it makes me wonder now... What is he thinking?
"So you don't have any money?" He asks...
Figures...
"Even if I did... I wouldn't pay." I say sternly, pushing his hand away from me.. which he pulls to his own chin.
"Hmm..." He ponders, rubbing his chin with his thumb and finger. ...And right when I think he's about to announce an idea... he says instead: "I don't have any money either."
I find my head fall... and my shoulders twitch some.
"You are such an asshole..."
I hear Gene sigh... and after a little while, I bring my head up some... to have him grab me by the shoulders.
"Jim!" He says quietly.. as if he were child- just about to tell me a huge secret. "I have an idea..." His smile is crafty.
"What?" I sigh anyway, not expecting much as his hands slip away from me.
"We're going to slip outta here..... ok? The bartender... he's pretty dumb-"
"Uh Gene..." I try to stop him, but he goes on...
"so he won't notice. And Iris... Well... she's Iris. I can get her to let us off." Gene says 'smoothly'... But I'm not impressed.
And neither are the bartender and Iris.. who are squatting to look, and listen under the table.. just behind Gene...
*
"Well that wasn't so bad!" Gene exclaims as he goes to sit down. "At least they didn't break our fingers, right?" He jokes....
"I should break your fingers..." I mumble, for him to hear.
He smirks.
"I'd like to see you try."
"Oh yeah?" I ask with narrowed eyes before accepting his challenge. "You owe me big time you know!" I shout as I jump on him..
We begin to wrestle on the couch... I can tell, at first he was going easy on me.. But soon- he easily overpowers me.
"Oh?... And what are you going to do about it Jimmy?" He teases me as he sits on my waist, holding my hands above my head.
I try to struggle away... But then I realize our position... And want to get away again.. This time in embrassment.
...But once I know he's not letting me go... I give up...
"What did you do at Fred's today?" ..I don't look at him as I try to get my mind off the fact he is laying on top of me.. in a position I've been in before many a time- however... for a very different reason.
And strangely enough.. he gets off me now.
"..Oh.. I just asked him for favors, really... Which reminds me- You're working for him, right?" He looks at me, as I sit up.
"Um.. Yeah.. Why?" I ask.
"Hm... How would you like to work for me instead? I'm trying to open a business" He asks straight out.
"Hah."
I 'laugh'.... and he looks at me... questioning it.
"You can't even pay for your drinks... What makes you think you can hire me?" I explain.
He shruggs.
"Well.. once I get started.. I'll be making the big money!" He claims... I try to hold in another 'laugh'.
"Sure.." I say instead.
"...So you still live with Fred?" Gene changes the subject..... I guess he wants to get rid of me.... But.. of course... I don't blame him.
"Ehmm... Usually..." I say... usually meaning always, apparently.
"That guy is really wierd." Gene yawns as he stands up.
"I guess..." I shrugg, standing up as well, and see he is staring at me.... "But eh... You don't mind if I stay here tonight.. do you?" I ask, looking away.. wondering why he's staring at me like he is.
Fortunately, his face changes as looks at me and smiles slightly.
"10,000 wong a night." He says.
I sweatdrop.
Yawn tears well up in his eyes as he laughs.
"I'm kidding, Jim. ..I guess this will be my pay back for making you do all those dishes with me." he hits my back a couple of times with one hand.. as the other wipes his eyes.
And I can't help but smile some.
*
..I wake up hearing a knock....
Not really acknowledging it, however.. I find myself turning over on the couch where Gene left me to sleep, to go back to doing exactly that.
And just as I was about to doze off again.... I heard the door open... And the some talking.... I hear Gene's voice... So I guess he answered it.
So I turn back over.. to see who it is when they come in.....
And I find myself hoping... That it's Fred. -Worried sick about me.. having been searching for me- day and night- and not finding me.
But I know... and it's not...
And in Fred's stead... is something terrible...
A woman.... A beautiful... beautiful woman.
I quickly close my eyes before they notice they were ever open...
"Who's that?" I hear the woman ask. "He's cute.."
"Oh.. Just one of my client's clients.... Real complicated business stuff." Gene says as they descend into his bedroom....
I can't help but feel offended... sad....
Jealous.
Gene...... Does he even consider me as a friend?
I don't know what's worse to accept... That he doesn't even consider me a friend... Or that he just said that to impress the woman... because he would never consider me as more than a friend.
"Oh, Gene!" I hear the woman cry from Gene's room.
I'd already decided I would not be able to sleep.. But this.... This was terrible....
And I guess I should be mad more than anything.... But the truth is...
I'm still jealous...
I wish I was that woman.... I knew now, that even in the bar- I had even wished I was Iris... With Gene's hands groping me.... I wish Gene had invited me to his bed- ..and not only because this couch is uncomfortable...
I don't know what it is about Gene......
But I do know that I have to get out of here....
Because I'm already crying.
To Be Continued!
