“So, what did you want to talk about?” Julia smiled up at me, as she reached across the table and intertwined her fingers with mine. Her deep blue eyes were bright with excitement.
Ah, crap. Clearly she has no idea what, ‘we need to talk’, actually means.
I shifted in my patio chair. While staring down at the picked-over fries on my plate, I mumbled, “Well Ju, um… the thing is…uh-”
“Um, uh, well?” She interrupted my stammering with a laugh. “Just spit it out already, Cayden. Please, am I really that intimidating?” Humour sparkled in her eyes.
Actually Julia, you kind of are.
I ran my free hand through my dark hair. I looked around the buzzing patio, hoping to use our waiter as a distraction. Unfortunately he was busy with another table. Great. I brought my attention back to my girlfriend, who was staring directly at me with wide eyes and a smile that showcased her perfect teeth.
I took a deep breath in. On the exhale I said, “I need some space.” My muscles tensed as I awaited her reply.
Her eyebrows drew in slightly. “What do you mean?” Her smile was quickly slipping from her flawless face.
“I think we should take a break.”
Her features hardened. She dug her manicured nails deep into my palm, before snapping her hand out of mine like a whip. My jaw clenched. “So, basically you’re breaking up with me?” She snarled.
I casually rubbed my hands together to try and sooth the searing pain. That girl has a nasty set of claws. “Basically.”
Julia pursed her glossy lips. Her eyebrows were pulled so close together, I thought they would become one. I rubbed the back of my head as I waited for the bomb to go off.
Three, two…
“Well it was nice of you to discuss this with me. But if you want space, then fine. Have all the fricken space you need! Go ahead and find yourself.” Her flushed face was inches from mine now. Somehow her teeth now looked as if they had grown into fangs. I wonder if she would actually try taking a bite out of me. I can’t say it would surprise me.
Breaking me from my thoughts, was Julia’s squeaky, “Okay, Cayden? Okay?”
I had no idea what she was talking about, but I quickly nodded my head. I could see the other customers watching us. The chattering had diminished, with only Julia’s lovely voice being heard. Great, looks like Crazy is causing another scene.“So that’s it. No more phone calls, texts, or emails. Nothing. You won’t be hearing from me, ever again.”
One can only hope. Julia slung her purse over her shoulder as she got up. “Well, I’m just going to get out of your hair now, which by the way has a little too much gel. Kinda looks like someone sneezed in it. Yuck. Anyways, thanks for lunch babe.” She blew a kiss before turning on her heel to leave. After a few steps she spun back around and tilted her head as she laughed, “Or should I say ex-babe. Silly me.”
She whirled around like the winter wind and marched away. Her heels sounded like hammers against the wooden panels. I think everyone outside stopped to watch her leave. That girl sure knew how to make an exit. If only she would stop coming back.
