Life With An Indian Twist

Authors Note - Sorry for the super long post guys but this scene sort of needed to take place over one post. If I had split it up, it wouldn't have made as much sense or impact. 

Also I noticed that I have 2 new followers so I want to say welcome and enjoy the blog and also invite you to introduce yourselves. I hope you will both find that we can talk about anything in the comments and that I appreciate your comments, critiques and suggestions. 

Have a great weekend everyone! I get to spend it studying for finals, yay! wish me luck.

For  a moment I couldn’t do anything but stare at Kevin’s face. My min was screaming that this was not the way I wanted to start this meeting but then a little voice in the back of my head asked why because Kevin was doing worse by lying to me.

Finally Kevin turned and stomped into the café, slamming the door as he went. Instead of feeling guilty or even angry at the way he was acting, I just felt like laughing. I tried to control it but I couldn’t help myself and before long I was laughing hysterically, clinging to Aryan as he looked at me with the most adorable confused look ever.

“What? What happened? Why are you laughing so hard?” Aryan asked, looking at me like I was insane

I tried to answer him but I couldn’t and before long I was gasping for breath and holding onto Aryan’s shoulders for dear life. When I finally caught my breath and could talk again, I wiped tears from my eyes as I looked up at Aryan and said “Sorry. The irony and the sheer craziness of the last few days finally caught up to me. The look on Kevin’s face when he was saw you kissing me…well let’s just say that that was the last straw. I saw how ridicules my life has gotten and the humor finally came out”

After I finished my little monologue, Aryan just looked at me like I was insane and then said “Oookay. So serious time now. Are you sure you want to go inside and talk to him?”

My smile and good humor vanishing as quickly as they had come, I thought about it and realized that if I wanted to move forward and even think about whatever was happening with Aryan, I needed to deal with Kevin. Glancing up at him, I nodded and said “yeah I am. I need to do this right now so I can move on. I am starting to think that I don’t even know Kevin anymore and before I can move on and focus on the future, I need to put this to rest.

I paused and thought about what I wanted to say next and if I really wanted to say it. Before I could talk myself out of it, I said “I…I need to see if Kevin is truly in my past so I can see focus on you and see if you are my future”

The last few words had come out in a whispered mumble and Aryan had leaned closer to me to hear what I was saying.

“Did you just say…?” Aryan said, looking directly into my eyes

I could feel my face getting red and I looked at the ground and nodded.

When Aryan didn’t say anything, I peeked up at his from behind my lashes and saw him slowly start to smile. A moment later he was laughing and I felt his arms come around me. I felt some of the tension drain out of me and for just a second I let myself hug him and absorb some of his strength and warmth.

A minute later I pushed away from him and said “I really need to go inside and talk to him now”

“Do you want me to wait for you?” he asked “I could drop you off at home afterwards”

I thought about and said “No go ahead and go home. I don’t know how long this is going to take and I can either get a ride from someone or just walk home since it’s not that far away”

We said our goodbyes and taking a deep breath I went inside.

Inside Rally’s it took me and minute to get my bearings and find Kevin. When I did finally spot him, he was sitting off in a corner, clearing sulking. As I walked towards him, I realized that I was already irritated with Kevin and his attitude and told myself to calm down because this wasn’t the way I wanted to start this discussion.

As I slipped into the seat, directly across from Kevin, he looked at me with a mocking smile and said “So. Lover boy done feeling up in front of everybody?”

My jaw literally dropped and I looked at Kevin blankly as I tried to say something “Yo…you…you BASTARD”

At the insult Kevin’s head snapped around to face me and he stared and started to say something but I was on a roll.

“How dare you say something like that to me? You have no right what so ever to be judging me or to be saying ANYTHING like that to me for some many reasons that I can’t even count them. One – have I EVER said anything when you were doing things much worse than just kissing your “girlfriends” in front of me? Have I ever made them feel uncomfortable or said anything bitchy to them? Two – WHAT RIGHT do you have to comment on any part of my life? What does it matter to you who I talk to or who I let FEEL ME UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN PARKING LOT.”

As I paused to take a breath, Kevin started at me like I had suddenly grown three heads. Before he could think of something to say, I continued. “Three – what right do you have to judge me? I am not the one who told his now ex-best friend, because I really don’t want to even know your name anymore Kevin, that he loved her and had loved her for years. And then goes and screws his high school girlfriend who’s back in town. Then lies to said ex-best friend when I asked you if you were seeing her”

I finally had to stop as I felt tears coming to my eyes and I paused to brush them away. Kevin saw them and reached out with his hand to brush them away. I moved my face out of reach and suddenly left totally and utterly exhausted.

“Don’t touch me, Kevin. You don’t have the right to touch me. You don’t even have the right to call my name right now. I’m done. I’m totally and 100% done with this. I am so tired of you always pulling crap like this and I’m just tired” I said as I grabbed my purse and started to slide out of the bench seat.

Kevin grabbed my arm and I stopped for second. “Let go of me Kevin. Let go of my arm. I don’t want to see you or talk to you right now. Please just let me go” I said the tears starting to brim over my eyes.

I felt Kevin let go of my arm and as I walked towards the door, I glanced back him once. He said there looking after me with the most lost and sad face I had every seen…
