At present I am at a party I have been invited to by some of my friends. It turns out he was invited as well, as we unfortunately keep company with the same crowd. For the last year and a half they had kept us away from each other and now they have unconsciously decided that we are ready to at least be in the same room as the other, if not be friends again. I'm not so sure.
He is standing on the opposite side of the flat talking to Mike and Rachel. They are probably talking about their wedding in April, yet another event I will have to see his aureate hair and hear his soft, honeyed voice. Unluckily Noah, the friend I was supposed to be listening to, has noticed that I am paying him absolutely no attention.
"I know that you miss him" he says. "I don't miss him at all. In fact, I am just thinking of how many ways I can make him trip over." I reply in a contemptuous manner. "You cannot hide your emotions all the time, Tina. We all know who the book is about." Noah responds as he starts to walk towards the kitchen.
Suddenly I feel someone's heated gaze on me. Quickly turning around I came face to face with Sam. I have to get out of here now, I cannot cope with this regret. I promptly commence walking towards the door to the apartment and as soon as I step outside the threshold, I begin rushing down the concrete steps. Thankfully, just as I get outside the converted warehouse in the middle of Chelsea several taxies go past. Hailing one, I jump in the back and instruct the cab driver where to go. Just as it speeds off into the night I hear a shout from a person standing in the middle of the road. Why does he always have to run after me?
