"Lena. Kostos seemed kinda happy that were going to Greece for a month. Maybe he will get back together with you" Bee giggled along with the other girls.
"I doubt it. It's been a long time since….Well since…ya" I didn't know what it has been a long time since.
The girl's special order pizza had arrived and everyone headed up to the beverage corner to get drinks. I stayed behind and thought about what had happened this morning. Was Kostos just using me as a rebound girl or did he truly mean that kiss.
"Earth to Lena" Carmen shouted in my ear "Hello are you there?"
I shook my head yes and grabbed a piece of sausage pizza. A lump of cheese fell on my white tank top. Thankfully it didn't leave a mark.
"Boy Lenny, you got some awesome clothes today. Kostos is gonna die when he sees you" Bee said
"Can we please stop talking about him!" I shouted and my words echoed through out the parlor
A family with four was the only ones there and they had just asked for a check. The family looked Italian and had olive color skin. The little girl had long hair that was braided and wore a cute sundress. The older boy who looked around 15 had long dark hair and blue eyes. I caught myself staring at him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Carmen noticed something was wrong with Lena. Was it the stress of the trip? Was Lena confused about her feelings with Kostos?
"Lets pack the rest of this pizza up and head back to my house" Lena sighed tiredly
We packed the pizza up. Grabbed are cups and walked out the door laughing. Eric, Bridget's old boyfriend was jogging, not paying attention to what he was doing and full on tackled her.
"Im so sorry….." Eric's words drifted off as he saw who he ran into
Eric was staring at her. He held his hand out and she stood up without grabbing it. Eric was soaked in sweat and didn't have a shirt on. I gazed down and looked at him. He was packed.
"Umm Eric" Bridget continued "This is Carmen, Lena and Tibby"
All the girls said hi and I continued to gawk over how muscular he was. Eric never said hi to me. No hellos to poor old Carmen. We walked two blocks to get to Lena's house. I sat the pizza in the fridge and the other girls left the shopping bags in the dining room. We headed up to Lena's room to pack up and head home.
"Hey Bridget can I talk to you" I asked nervously
"Ya what's up?" She asked
"Can I have Eric's number? I got to ask him something" I rushed through my words
She shook her head yes and wrote the number down on a napkin. I walked up to Lena's room and stuffed my stuff in my drawstring bag and got out of the house as fast as I could.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey Chicks. Carmen just asked me for Eric's number" I said carelessly flopping down onto Lena's bed
"Uhh. I wonder why" Tibs said trying to roll up her sleeping bag and talk at the same time
I packed up my stuff and headed outside. Eric and Carmen were making out vigoursly down the street. Tears welled up in my eyes. I went on the other side of the road and took off full sprint.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Carmen was such a great kisser. I wanted her so bad. As soon as I laied eyes on her at the Pizza Parlor I knew there was something about her that I just liked. Her tongue was floating around my mouth, exploring it. I rubbed her back trying to access her shirt but she just would let me.
"Eric" She moaned
We stopped kissing. Bridget was sprinting down the road. I called her name but she didn't hear me or didn't care. I grabbed Carmen's hand and headed in the opposite direction.
"So why are you here?" She asked me squeezing my hand
"Didn't you hear from Bee or does she not know? I moved here" I said wanting to know more about Bee
"I don't know. Don't worry about her. She's always saying that she hates you, saying she's moving on" She complained
"Don't stress out about it" I said soothing her lightly kissing her on the forehead
"So what are you doing this summer?" She asked dropping the subject
"I'm going to England and Italy for soccer tournaments" I replied simply
Carmen was in shock. We were both heading overseas. I just kept walking. She stopped.
"You know I'm going to Greece for a month right?" Carmen asked
I shook my head yes and pulled a slip of paper out of my pocket.
