“You know you can call me anytime, don’t you? Even in the middle of the night, I would be there for you.”
“I know,” I reply softly, bravely reaching for hishand, giving it a quick squeeze. “I wish we could stay out here forever.”
I go to pull my hand back, but he stops me and links our fingers. Staring back at the stars again.
“Yeah, me too.”
Thinking back, I don’t know when this infatuation started. It was like a simple childhood crush that never faded away. He has always been a charmer, but it’s more than that. No matter what I needed, Tommy was there, he helped me with homework, lifts home from parties or even just some company.
There is something so attractive about a brooding but caring man.
The fact that I find him so attractive doesn’t help the situation. I always had a feeling that it wasn’t one-sided, that he could feel the same way I do, but he never acted on it. What’s a girl supposed to do? It’s all so confusing.
I’m completely lost in my thoughts as I walk into the train station, not taking in my surroundings, when I hear a familiar voice. A voice I am not prepared to hear right now. Running like a crazy lady, I tuck myself into a corner on the platform, just out of sight of Jake.
He is standing, talking to a beautiful woman with that winning smile that first caught my attention. Is he dating already? Any normal person would feel distressed over this, having just broken up a couple of days ago. Yet, all I feel isrelief.
Thank the fucking lord.
I would never have told the girls, but I was a little bit worried about going home tonight, but seeing him with a woman has made me feel so much better. Unable to take my eyes away, I watch him as he does all the things he would do to me. Slightly touching her hand with his, holding eye contact with a sexy smile. All the things that draw you in to a man like him, before it all goes to shit.
After watching for a few minutes, I take out my phone to text the group chat. The girls need to be in on this.
Maya– You will never guess what I’m looking at right now!
Fallon– Tom Hardy?
Gracie– Another new coffee shop?
Blair- Hurry the F up, the suspense is killing me.
Maya– None of the above. Jake with another woman!!!
Gracie– SHUT UP!
Blair– Who else would be crazy enough to go near that psycho?!
Maya– Ey! Don’t be mean. I was blinded by the romance, I now see the error of my ways.
Fallon– Well thank fuck for that. This should mean he will leave you the hell alone now.
Maya– One can only hope.
I look back up from my phone and fortunately for me, they seem to have left. They must have gone to another platform, hopefully anyway. I can’t begin to imagine how painful that would have been, trapped in a speeding tin can for over half an hour with them both.
As my train pulls up and I have a quick scan around, thankfully, they are nowhere to be seen.
