Live and let live - Ch.3
"Good," Amy says twirling her hair in that way she does, I just stand there while Amy talks.
I browse the hat racks, but nothing catches my eye; Amy meanwhile is still talking to Justin
I her reaching for his hand out of the corner of my eye "Hey, Amy here's one you might like,"
I say trying to grab her attention, but like always she just shrugs me off. I then feel suddenly
jealous so I walk out of the store for a 'breath of fresh air' as the saying goes, I see Amy walk
out after me.
"What are you doing?," Amy asks, gently. "Leaning against a wall," I reply. "No shit," Amy retorts
"But really what are you doing?," Amy asks again. "Taking a breather," I say, "Wait, why," Amy looks
stunned "Because it looked like you and Justin were having a moment there," I scoff at her. "You know
Justin is just a friend we have nothing you know that," She pauses, "Wait, are you jealous?," she asks -
"Kind'a," I respond sheepishly. "Well you shouldn't be, we're just friends and I don't need to keep telling
you that we're never going to be anything so stop."
Now I'm the one whose stunned, "Fine, if that's how you feel," I say walking away. Amy chases after me
I turn around and flash her two middle fingers before turning around and walking again. Amy stops dead in
her tracks, I stop too. I turn around to discover she's crying, I run over to her and scoop her into my arms -
I then head toward lids. Justin is standing there in shock and aw, "I can't believe you did that," He says -
rubbing the back of his neck.
"It won't happen again," I assure him as I walk away. Amy is still crying when we reach the parking lot
cold, breathless, hard sobs the kind that cause pain in your stomach, I reassure her, "Its okay, Its over, shhhh
I'm here," I hold her close and offer her shoulder to cry on. She climbs into the cab of my truck and just looks at me
"What?," I ask, Amy just cocks her head and sobs harder I climb in and shut my door. I start the engine and pull Amy
close to me she tries to push herself away but I hold her close.
I hold her and speak as softly as I can, "I'm sorry, I was a dick, yes I was jealous but I couldn't help myself," I pause
taking a deep breath "I'm sorry. I'm that I'm a lesbian, I'm sorry that I always come on to you but there's just something -
about you that needs... needs to be loved, needs to be cuddled, needs to be held," I start to break down but I stop
myself, "Your, just perfect," I then put the truck in drive and drive out of the parking lot.
A few seconds later my stomach growls, "Hey, you want something to eat, I'll pay," Amy just nods. So I just drive to the
closest fast food place (McDonalds) and park. Amy and I get out and head inside, "What do you want?," I ask. "A cheese
-burger," Amy says, wiping her tears, "A cheeseburger for her and a Big Mac for me," I say to the cashier taking our
order. After that we walk around and search for a table "This one," Amy says pointing to a booth near a window -
so we sat and waited for our food.
I look at Amy and notice the sun radiating off of hair, "Your beautiful you know that," I say. She just continues to stare out the window.
