"I loved you, Eva Farlow, I loved you. And I guess you never loved me..."
She slammed the door and sat down on the bed. Emma's screams made my head hurt like hell, and I couldn't stop thinking about Roger. I don't miss the fact that he's cute, but I'm not a hooker who's ready to jump into bed with the first guy she meets.
I looked at the screen and sighed. My best friend Jim called.
"Hey, how are you?" — immediately asked the guy as soon as I picked it up.
- Hey, it's just a headache.
"I'd like to take you to the cafe." I haven't seen you in a while."
And then a beautiful thought flashed through my mind.
— Nicely. You can pick me up in twenty minutes, " I said happily.
- Okay.
As soon as we finished, I went to the kitchen and asked my friend:
"Will you see if he's still there?" I pointed to the window.
"Yes, still sitting." He's probably had a pack of cigarettes by now, " Emma said.
Good, I thought.
I quickly changed into a short purple dress and put on a chic pair of high heels.
— You're going out with him, aren't you?" my friend asked as soon as I appeared in the kitchen.
"No, I'm not. Look out the window, there's going to be a show, " I said, opening the front door.
Roger sprang to his feet. His eyes were fixed on me, as if he hadn't expected to see me like this.
I went down the stairs and stood beside him:
"Buy me a cigarette?"
The guy silently handed me a pack and a lighter, without looking away.
After I lit a cigarette, Roger said,:
- You look amazing. Shall we go?
He was just about to take my hand when I interrupted him:
— Who says we're going anywhere?"
I saw Jim's car come around the corner.
"All right, let's just stand here," Roger said.
- Wait, but without me.
"What do you mean?"
The guy noticed that the car braked near them, the window was lowered and the driver said:
"You're fast today, eve. Sorry to keep you waiting.
"We're going, and you can stay here as long as you want," I said, opening the car door.
Roger was furious, and no one had ever made fun of him like that.
"Bye," I said from the car and laughed.
"Shit," Roger shouted as the car pulled away and headed in the opposite direction.
"Who was it?" Jim asked as soon as she got into the car.
"Forget it," I breathed.
I straightened my hair and looked in the mirrors.
After five minutes we were in a cozy restaurant of home cooking. There was once going to our company, but now nothing. Only Jim and I remained friends.
- What will you have? My friend sat down opposite me.
— Green tea.
"That's it?" "what?" he asked.
I looked out the window. Now, after what had happened, I should have been elated, for I had taught Roger a lesson, and he knew that I had someone. But on the other hand, my conscience tormented me.
I felt bad for him.
"You're weird," Jim said, interrupting my thoughts.
He tried to take my hand, but I put it under the table.
Everyone told me that the guy has long been in love with me, but I tried not to give him any promises, because for me he will always be a friend.
"It's all right, Jim, don't worry.
They brought me tea, I gently began to stir the sugar with a spoon, it lasted about two minutes. All this time my friend looked at me and did not understand what was happening.
"You're going to drill the bottom," he said.
"I'm sorry.
- Tell me what's going on. Who's this guy?
Jim decided to bore me, and he looked at me with his black eyes as if he were trying to bewitch me.
"Let's not talk about it," I said, " and by the way, I'm sorry I brought you into this."
"What story, eve?" I do not understand.
I dropped my spoon on the table and sighed.
Jim was still looking at me. He wanted to ask a question, but decided not to, lest he make it worse.
— This guy who was near my house helped me a day ago, and now he's keeping up with me. So I decided go with you in cafes and do this all under him, to Roger understood, that I have someone there is,-decided I explain friend.
Jim was silent. The silence lasted a long time.
- I'm sorry I dragged you into this. You never know what this jerk can do. I was the first to break the silence.
- Let me talk to him myself, okay?
I can handle my own problems."
We were silent for the rest of the evening. Afterward, Jim gave me a ride home, asking me a question. :
"Eve, honestly, do you like him?"
I looked at him, his eyes desperate.
"Good night, Jim," I said as I closed the car door and headed home.
"Roger, calm down. And you gave up this girl?!
"You don't understand, Rosalie! She's different. Apparently she doesn't know me, the guy walked around the apartment with a bottle of whiskey in his hand and the replica did a SIP.
"Brother, everyone in London knows you. She's probably retarded.
Roger looked at his sister menacingly and added:
— You don't understand me, or you refuse to. She's perfectly normal, and most importantly, she's not like the hundreds of fans I have who are ready to sleep with me on the click of a button.
He plopped down in the big blue chair by the fireplace and took another SIP of whiskey.
Rosalie walked over to him and squatted down:
- Wait, so you're in love?
— I can't understand it, but I'm drawn to her. Although, our acquaintance was crumpled, and the last meeting, to put it mildly, failed. But I always see her beautiful features as soon as I close my eyes. Don't know, maybe it will pass as soon as I can take possession of it — the guy looked at one point, he was uncomfortable with the behavior of eve.
"But she's gone with a boy, Rog, which means you don't stand a chance."
The nurse got up and covered herself with a warm blanket as she prepared for bed.
"There's always a chance. I will not give up, "he said in a monotone," eve will be with me, I will win her by any means.
Rosalie smiled and went to her room, leaving her younger brother alone.
Thank you for attention!
