"You have feelings for who?"
Lauren's eyes widened at the sound of the voice of the last person she wanted to hear that statement. She began trying harder than ever to break away from Tyr's grasp, while the older man just laughed at her.
Harper watched as Lauren fought viciously against Tyr, who in turn just laughed at her.
"Boy do you really want to know who she's talking about?" Tyr asked Harper, still holding Lauren tightly.
"Yeah." Harper replied curiously.
"It was....."
"Tyr, you overgrown swizzle stick! Let! Me! Go!" Lauren yelled as loudly as she could to avert Tyr's attention from telling Harper about her feelings for him. This is about the time Rev walked into the room.
"What's going on?" He asked Harper as he stood next to him.
"We're trying to find out who Lauren has a crush on." Harper explained.
"Boy...."
"Don't you dare! You undersized Wooly Mammoth!" Lauren yelled. All she got in return was Tyr's giant hand over her mouth.
"Now, as I was saying. The man Lauren was talking about was you." Tyr felt Lauren practically go limp in his arms and finally just let her go.
"What?" Harper asked astonished. Lauren walked over and stood near Chelsey who, in turn, looked sympathetically at her.
"You heard him." Lauren answered, so quietly that Harper had to strain his ears to hear.
"Lauren, can I talk to you outside?" He asked her innocently.
"I guess." She answered somberly, and then followed him out the door.
"Do you really have feeling for me?" Harper asked once the doors closed.
"You heard Tyr." She said plainly, never lifting her gaze from the floor.
"I know I heard Tyr, but I want to hear it from you."
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"And you call yourself a genius."
"Lauren, why didn't you tell me?"
"Because you hate Neitzcheans! And you know what, I was going to tell you. I was going to tell you when you took me to dinner, but now I find out that you're practically head over heals in love with some...someone else, and....and for the first time in my life, I dint' know what to do." She said honestly, lifting her gaze to meet his.
"Wow, uh, that's.....a lot to take in." He told her softly.
"I know, and I just want you to think about it, okay?"
"Okay." He replied quietly. Lauren gave him a weak smile and re-entered command. Harper didn't notice Rev walking towards him; he was to fixated on Lauren. He watched her walk back into command, walk right up to Tyr, kick him right between the legs, and call him "A sorry excuse for a brick wall," as he fell to his knees.
"Harper!"
His thoughts were interrupted by Rev calling his name.
"Yeah, Rev, what do yah need?"
"Are you alright?"
"No."
"Would you like to talk about it?"
"Uh, maybe later. Right now I just need some time to think."
"Alright, I will finish your shift."
"Thanks Rev."
