It was a game of patience. 'Yeah right, like Thomas had any patience to begin with; hell, I don't have any either,' thought Van with a light chuckle as he sat with Thomas waiting for the ever-beautiful Fiona as Thomas had called her to arrive. Van figured that Thomas had it all wrong; his description did no good for Fiona. It was more like Eternal beautiful Fiona, but Van kept his mouth shut because he knew that Thomas would be mad if he was to learn that Van felt like this about the one woman that Thomas wanted more than anything at that moment. It isn't that Van would care, he just didn't want to hear the nagging and the whining that would accompany it all that he didn't want.
"Where the hell is she? I told her to be here nearly an hour ago," muttered Thomas while he was literally bouncing in his seat waiting for Fiona to finally show up. He was definitely drawing a lot of attention that Van didn't really feel like having at that moment.
'He looks more like he had to take a piss rather than just waiting for Fiona to show up. He really is obsessed with her. It is really sickening to even think about how much it was that Thomas wanted her. Hell, he wanted her. She was a little seductress without even trying to be one. He didn't know how but he didn't really care to try and find out at that exact moment.
"You really need to calm down Thomas. She was probably just stuck in traffic. So just sit down and stop drawing all of the attention in this restaurant," Van all but yelled at Thomas and to his great relief, Thomas actually settled down, for a second at least before he started to bounce up and down on his seat again. Van just groaned.
"Just because that was your stupid excuse for why you were late doesn't mean that that is her excuse as well. I am sure she has a much better one than just being stuck in traffic that I am sure doesn't exist. You were probably were just too lazy," said Thomas. He didn't know because he left hours earlier to wait rather than sleep like Van had been doing.
"I wasn't lazy! I got up shortly after you left but I had an errand to run on the other side of town before I could actually get a chance to get down here. I have priorities; you were the one who is so obsessed with her that you left three hours early to get here. So bite me Thomas because I really don't feel like hearing about it anymore," growled out Van. "Now I am going to go find a place that has a newspaper, I'll be back in a few minutes," said Van before standing up and walking out of the café leaving Thomas all alone.
Probably about five or so minutes after Van left the café, Fiona finally walked in. She looked a little flushed as she came running into the café making Thomas jump with happiness. "I am so sorry for being this late, I was kind of caught in a large traffic jam," said Fiona trying to catch her breath.
Thomas absolutely hated it when he was wrong and Van was right. Then another thought came to his mind. 'How much does it take to get from the parking lot to the door?' Thomas asked himself. He just couldn't figure it out. Fiona was a good runner when they were in high school so he was curious as to why it is that she was so out of breath. He looked towards the parking lot but he didn't see her car anywhere. "Where's your car?" was the first thing he asked her.
"I had to pick something up so I parked it down the street a little ways," said Fiona with a tone of voice that could make anyone with half a brain to realize that something was up. Good thing Thomas couldn't pick it up.
"Ok then. Van stepped out for a few minutes to grab a newspaper so I guess that we are all alone in this little booth," he said with a small smirk that instantly made Fiona a little nervous as she scooted away from him a little ways. "Fine!" grunted Thomas knowing that he wasn't going to get anything out of Fiona right at that moment. 'Not yet anyways; I just have to give her a little time and then she will be all mine," he thought smirking even more but Fiona didn't notice as Van came walking up to the table.
"I see that you finally got here," he said as he slid into the seat that was right across from Fiona. "Let me guess, it was the horrible traffic," he said with a smirk as he glanced over at Thomas who only gave him a little glare before turning away.
"Yeah, I thought that I would never be able to get out of it," said Fiona with a nervous smile. Actually the truth behind it was that something came up that detained her for most of the time. She didn't even live anywhere near where the traffic was but she didn't want anyone asking questions as to what it was that detained her. Although being here was nice and all, she wanted to get back to what happened earlier in the morning.
"Oh, well I am glad that you at least got here before either of us decided to leave. It isn't like we had much to do until later being bachelors and all," said Thomas with a cheesy grin. Sometimes Thomas had to wonder if Van was a bachelor. He never went for any women and he wasn't gay. Thomas just couldn't figure out why Van never got together with any of the women that he tried to set him up with.
"Oh really? Why are two people like you bachelors? I am sure that there are many people that would want you," said Fiona looking between the two of them but her gaze seemed to linger on Van for a few minutes.
"He doesn't seem to want any women for some reason. I try to set him up and he always end up turning them down," said Thomas pointing towards Van. "As for me, I prefer the bachelor life but I might reconsider that just for you Fiona," said Thomas trying to put on his sweetest smile but it only made Fiona uncomfortable and back away all little.
"Actually it is that most women won't come near him unless it is for his money," said Van smirking as Thomas prepared to hit him over the head. Van moved at the last moment sending Thomas flying right over him and out of the booth they were sitting in.
Fiona couldn't help but giggle at both the comment and at the incident that just took place. She looked down at Thomas who was in a very disturbing pose with his butt up in the air. She just looked away quickly because it was something that she really didn't want to see. It was then that she came in contact with Van's glances towards her. This she just couldn't seem to turn away from.
"Do you mind getting up Thomas? I really don't want you to be in the pose when you are laying flat on the floor beside me," said Van with an annoyed shaking of his head as Thomas got off of the floor while rubbing his head. Van knew there was going to be a bump there in the morning.
"It is your fault that it happened Flyheight," growled out Thomas as Van got out and allowed Thomas to get back in. "If you hadn't moved then that wouldn't have had to happen to me," he said slumping in his seat.
"Let me see here; stay still and get hit over the over by what I am guessing would still be a weak punch or move and allow you to make a complete and utter fool of yourself?" asked Van using his hands as scales before the one representing the fool part fell right to the floor as he started to laugh.
"Tell me Van, why is it that you don't go with any of the women that Thomas tries to set you up with? Is there someone important in your life?" asked Fiona casting a curious yet somehow knowing glance at Van.
Van merely looked at her for a second with a smirk on his face. "Not really. I just don't like to be set up with anyone and Thomas doesn't exactly have the best of tastes when he tried to set me up with anybody," said Van causing a grunt to escape out of Thomas's mouth.
"Enough with the idle chitchat about me you two. I have things planned so can we please just stop the talking so that we can get out of here," said Thomas trying his best to stop the teasing. It was bad enough with Van on a daily basis but he didn't want Fiona to start it as well. He had plans for her and those could slow those plans down quite a bit.
"Whatever you say," said Van shaking his head in silent laughter. "What about you Fiona? Do you have any sort of special person in your life?" asked Van as the three of the stood up and slid out of the small booth.
"What kind of a stupid question is that Van? She told us last night that she wasn't with anyone," said Thomas in a huff. The mere thought of the one woman he wanted most with another man didn't sit well with Thomas. He hoped that she hadn't been with anyone or ever gotten married. She had always talked about saving herself for marriage and if she hadn't gotten married then he would make sure that he got the honor of doing it for her. The mere thought brought a perverted grin to his face.
Van stared at Thomas with a slightly confused and disturbed look on his face. "Actually, she only said that her old boyfriend married some model. She never said anything about being together with someone else," said Van taking joy in correcting Thomas's answer.
"Actually, no, I am not dating anyone at this moment. My old boyfriend was the only one that I have been with since high school but we didn't continue dating," said Fiona but there was something in her voice that said it was the truth yet she was not telling the complete truth. This went noticed by Van but not by the one tracked minded Thomas.
Thomas was absolutely thrilled to hear this. This was definitely his chance to get what he wanted ever since he first saw Fiona. He watched Fiona walk ahead of the two of them. "Now is the best chance to make the moves that I couldn't in high school, I will have her completely. Someday, maybe I will take her virginity," said Thomas with a perverted smirk.
"What makes you think that she is even a virgin? For me, it is doubtful that someone that good looking can remain a virgin," said Van as the two of them walked behind Fiona but spoke soft enough so that she wouldn't hear. Neither of them could take their eyes off of her.
"So you too admit that she is good looking but she is mine Flyheight so don't you dare try a thing. Do you hear me? During high school she has said several times that she would wait for marriage before she ever did something like that. She keeps to her word so I know that she still is," said Thomas taking his eyes away from Fiona to glare at Van.
"Whatever you say Thomas, whatever you say. It is not wise to come up with assumptions though. Many can talk big but few can actually pull it off. Just keep that in mind," said Van turning a corner to walk to his car with Fiona following after him.
"Where are you going Fiona?" asked Thomas as soon as he noticed her change in direction. He saw her stop and turn towards him with a smile on his face that just made him melt on the spot.
"I am going to my car. It was parked in this direction as well. We are all going to the same place so I don't think it really matters," said Fiona before turning around and she continued to walk in that direction.
"If you want I can give you a ride and take you back here later to pick up your car," said Thomas trying to find any way in which he could keep Fiona near him. She just shook her head and continued to keep walking. He just stayed there for a few moments. "Wait up!" he yelled running after her.
"You have your own car Thomas. Why don't you just use it instead of hitching a ride with one of us?" asked Van not even turning around although he knew what Thomas was planning to do before he even said it. He always felt like he could get whatever he wanted but he would never be able to if he hung off of her constantly.
"This doesn't concern you Van. I am asking Fiona, not you," growled out Thomas as Van stopped and turned around to look at Thomas with an exasperated look upon his face. "Can I get a ride with you Fiona? I can come back for my car later," said Thomas putting on his best smile.
"Sorry Thomas. There are some important things that I have to do. I will meet up with you and Van a little later at the place where we were supposed to go. I don't think that it will take too long though. I will probably be there in about an hour," she said before turning back around and continued walking towards her car.
Thomas only growled as he turned around. He parked in the parking lot of the café but he didn't understand why the two of them were parked elsewhere. It was much more convenient where he was parked. He just couldn't figure others out. First Fiona had dumped him for someone else in high school and now he kept being denied what he wanted. He felt like nothing could stop him this time though.
Van continued walking with Fiona a few steps ahead of him and although he thought he was fooling them, Thomas was following Van and Fiona at a distance. There were so many things that he knew he could do at that moment just to annoy the hell out of Thomas. "Say Fiona, you seem to have a lot of free time. Why is it that you haven't gone to work at all and instead hung out with Thomas and me?" asked Van running to walk beside her.
Fiona looked at him for a second a bit confused before she realized what he meant. "I have a job every once in a while," she said in a slightly louder voice than was needed. "I know someone who takes care of me," she said with a small smile at the thought of who it was.
Van took a glance back to make sure that Thomas was listening without allowing Thomas to know that he was aware of his following. "I see, and this person. Is he special in your life?" Van asked knowing that Thomas would become both interested and jealous of the answer at the same time.
"Very much so. He is very important to me," she replied with a true smile. Both of them could hear a slight gasp come from Thomas. It was a gasp loud enough so that everyone in that street would turn to look at him as he covered his mouth. Fiona turned around to look at him as well as Van.
"Oh, hey there Thomas. Didn't know you still decided to follow along," said Van innocently yet a little annoyed at the same time even if he had known about it ever since Thomas had first decided to tag along.
"Oh sorry about that but I just wanted to talk to the two of you for a little while," Thomas said while laughing nervously. He was so embarrassed about being caught by the two of them that it was becoming hard for him to speak. He figured that he might as well start up a conversation to get off the subject of what he had done. "So... this person you were talking about, is he a possible boyfriend to you?" Thomas asked nervously. He knew what Fiona had said earlier so he asked a different question.
"No, we cannot be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship if that is what you mean," said Fiona looking at Thomas with a strange look in her eye. Everyone but Thomas could tell that there was a dreamy look in her eyes because of something that she was thinking about.
"Oh really? If that is the case then why don't the two of us go out alone tonight so that we can get better acquainted with each other again?" asked Thomas walking up behind Fiona and wrapping and arm around her shoulder. Unfortunately for him it was all ruined when he hand went lower and ended up grabbing her ass.
Fiona felt it immediately and turned around very quickly and slapped him across the face so hard that it left a glowing red handprint. "Not a chance," she said angrily before walking off in her rage.
Thomas held his face in his hands waiting for the stinging to go away. He heard laughing behind him and turned around to see Van literally rolling on the ground in laughter. "Hey! It is not funny Van!" he yelled turning so red in anger that the handprint was no longer visible on his face.
"Sure it is, Maybe not for you but it was one of the funniest things that I ever saw in my life," said Van as he stood up and walked away still laughing his head off at the now visible handprint.
Thomas just stood there for a few moments before he turned around angrily and stormed off muttering things like, "Friends need to stick up for friends, not laugh at them," as well as, "Women need to control their tempers," while he walked off to his car.
"Where the hell is she? I told her to be here nearly an hour ago," muttered Thomas while he was literally bouncing in his seat waiting for Fiona to finally show up. He was definitely drawing a lot of attention that Van didn't really feel like having at that moment.
'He looks more like he had to take a piss rather than just waiting for Fiona to show up. He really is obsessed with her.
