Down with Love
Chapter 7 (my favorite number)
Who Loves Ya Baby?
------------------------------------------------- (Sere pov)
It was laundry day again. I had learned a good lesson after throwing all those clothes around last night. Never do it AGAIN! Don't worry though. More than half of them were dirty. I was also in a bad mood. Mina had taken back her car after I had a little accident.
I'm a very good driver. That old man shouldn't have been walking so close to the road.
Sidewalk or not.
Today had been a less than joy worthy day. I am a very sweet person. Polite, generous, and kind. I am a vision of perfection. (beep beep) "Watch where you're going lady!"
"Shove it you bastard! Fuck you!" See? I think I handled that very well.
Says who?
Why those two old women whispering about me behind my back. I turned around to catch them staring. With my fiercest 'I'm having a bad day and you just made it worst' glare I stalked up to them. "Do you have a problem? The shows over! Get lost you old hags! Find some poor cats to torture!"
"Listen here you little guttersnipe! You're lucky I don't kick your ass back to the sewer you came from! Now I want you to go home and think about what you've just done!" she said it all without her dentures falling out and cane waving ready to charge into battle at any moment. This lady was scary.
"Y-Yes ma'am. Right away ma'am!
Respect your elders my ass! They can take care of themselves just fine by the looks of it. They don't need my respect! Hmph! (respect ur elders or that can happen to you too!)
--------------------------------------
By now you're wondering if something happened on my date. No, nothing happened. THAT'S the problem. No kiss. No hug. No NOTHING! Not even a damn handshake! Now miserable, I stalked through the streets cursing everything with a male anatomy. I must not have been looking very well because ran into something.
And fell flat on my ass. That wasn't the bad part. The bad part was when all of my clothes spilled out of my laundry bag...to fall straight into last night's rain puddle...
I'm never going outside again.
I looked up to curse horrible, make a sailor proud words and saw...Amy AND Greg! Gasp! The scandal!
"Amy, I'm so sorry it was just the water, and the man, that infuriating, devastating, obnoxiously good looking man, and his thick skull and a guy almost ran me over and an old lady threatened me with her cane for no good reason, and...I'm SO sorry Amy! Are you OK?" I had gathered up any incriminating evidence i.e. bras and thongs and all that other good stuff and was still picking up the rest of my wet clothes.
When I was done I looked up to see her shaking. With her bangs covering her eyes I couldn't tell what she was feeling. Was she mad?
I found out when she looked up to wipe the tears from her eyes...
Only to let out the biggest snort I have ever heard.
She was laughing. At me! Me of all people! Her friend! "It's okay, Sere, but (insert scary snort here) an old lady? You were afraid of HER? I pouted and looked like the whole world was my enemy. She apologized like a good friend and stuck her hand out to help me up. A saw something glitter on her left hand.
I know it was rude but it was worth it. I grasped her hand a pulled it to my face. "Amy! When were you going to tell me you were engaged?" her diamond ring glittered in the sunlight. I looked around like it was a dirty little secret. She blushed and looked away trying and failing might I add, to hide her face.
"I was going to tell you, Sere, really. But my hospital hours just got longer." She tried to pull her hand away to no avail. I was amazed. You would think I had never seen an engagement ring before. "Who's the groom to be, Amy?" By now she was doing the best impression of a tomato I had seen in years. I followed her hand all the way to...GREG? No way. I pushed Greg out of the way who had been silent till now.
"Is he across the street getting something? I don't see him." I looked up and down the street till I felt a hand turn me around. Amy had put Greg right in my face. No! I couldn't be.
"Greg, you lucky bastard, when were YOU planning to tell me?!" I was always the last to know. He scratched the back of his conniving head and shrugged his shoulders as if saying 'I don't know I'm just the groom'. "Eventually." He looked around and I could tell he was looking for an escape route after that comment. I stared him straight in the eye with a blank face. "Eventually." Eventually? EVENTUALLY?! I'd better be a freaking bridesmaid for a damn eventually.
Amy had made up some excuse saying they were late for work. Was she fooled by the blond hair? I'm not dumb. (I love blondes! Blondes rock...brunettes do it better! Lol! Even I know the laundromat and the hospital were across town for each other. Hff!
Marriage...
-------------------------------------------------- (mina pov)
Andrew snaked his arm around my waist giving me a good morning kiss. I wasn't paying attention but managed to kiss him back. He noticed the change in moods and looked at me questioningly. "What's wrong Mina?" I turned around to ignore him. I was supposed to be down with love.
Wasn't I?
If I was than what was this I was feeling? Lust? No. Believe it or not Andrew did a good job of drowning that. It had to be love. But I can't be in love. Love is just a distraction. I have better things to do than to worry about some school girl crush. That's all it was. A crush.
I couldn't bear to see the hurt in his eyes as he padded out of the room. I made something in my chest squeeze to an unbearable level. I had to leave. Before things got any worse. Was I really ready to be down with love?
---------------------------------------------------- (sere pov)
I have finally made it to the cleaners. Three blocks, two angry drivers, four crying babies, and a million curse words later.
Mr. Petrovsky was still ironing clothes. I could see Mrs. Petrovsky anywhere. I asked him where she was and he sneered back. "She went to get hairs done and went to malls to go shopping clothes." "then who is manning the register?" Chad's head popped out from under the desk just as the questioned was asked.
"JESUS CHRI-Chad you almost gave me a heart attack!" I grabbed the area around my heart hoping to calm the beating a little. I passed my clothes over the counter for him take.
"Sorry, Serena. I was just writing a love song for my precious raven-haired beauty." I had definitely come at the wrong time. Chad was busy chasing two things. One was his rock star dream that half the people in New York knew about and for that reason steered clear when he was here. The other was Raye. You remember her don't you? My savior with the glass of water and her alter ego the devil's advocate who took me shopping? Yeah, her.
It was his plan to get her to marry him. That plan, since I have been here, has failed 236 times. He is a strong believer in if at first you don't succeed. It looked like he was trying again. Chad could not sing.
At all.
So serenading Raye was out of the question. "Would you like to hear it, Serena?" It's called The Fire in My Heart. Yeahhhhhhhh!"
Oh no! Run! Save yourselves! It's too late for me.
------------------------------------------------------ (dare pov)
Last night with Serena was...
Wonderful.
I haven't had that much fun with a woman in years. There wasn't even sex involved. Strangely nothing happened. It didn't seem to bother her but it bugged the hell out of me. How does the old spinster do it? More importantly, how did I do it? The whole date sex was the farthest thing from my mind.
Even Scarier. Why didn't I start anything? She could have been putty in my hands. Something was wrong. I shouldn't be thinking of her like this.
Then why can't I get her out of my head?
---------------------------------------------------------
