Chapter 4: Time to go home
A black haired man with a light sutble walked through an archway door, wearing a black suit and matching tie. He stood in the door frame, looking left and right in the room.
He stepped into the middle as he let out a deep breath, and gazed at the many white tables that were surronded by people.
His body felt stiff, his arms were tucked closley to his side. Tapping his thighs, he walked deeper into the room, still perusing around.
"Greg!"
{ Gregg POV view }
I turned around to see a woman with short wavy black hair, dark grey eyes, peach lips, wearing a yellow flowered summer dress. "Ah, Penelope" I called out to her, she stood up from her table and came in for a hug.
"I didn't think you'd come" She sat back down onto her chair
"Well, I am here" I found myself being slowly lost in her eyes again and I froze for a moment.
"So, What are you drinking?" I picked up the menu at the table and directed my full attention to it.
"Just a latte, you look good Gregg, How have you been keeping?"
"I'll just have the same them an" I replied
"A Latte, oat milk with two sugars?"
I looked up to see her looking at me with an eyebrow raised and a slight grin.
"Yeah, how did you kn..never mind, I guess I haven't changed" I watched her laugh away with her hand covering her mouth. Her eyes still had that sweet charm and her laugh still flowed into my heart.
The laughter died out.
The waiter came over and I made my order.
Then came the silence
' Man this is awkward'
I had kept myself occupied by folding a napkin until my drink came. I sipped my drink and gathered my wits "Oh, so why did you call me out here, you said you had news?"
She looked at me with a slight tense face 'Wtf is this going to be about...is she pregnant..no!'
"I want to invite you to my wedding...no, what I mean is, I would love for you to come to my wedding Gregg" She kept her eyes on me the whole time.
".What?....why?" .. 'I'm confused '
"Remember, we decided we'd just be friends.... and we used to be best friends....it would mean a lot to me to have you there "
I put my cup down and looked at her, I felt a deep urge to rub my forehead and groan.
{Flashback }
In a empty dimily lit bowling alley, there was a man and a women. The man was standing behind the women as she scored a strike.
{Gregg Pov }
I just couldn't take my eyes off her.
A moment later, my legs were walking towards her 'Damm what do I say.... shit she looked at me' Her red lips, and intense stare with her grey eyes shook me to my core 'She's staring....fuck shes staring'
"Hey"
"Hey"
"This is embrassing but I couldn't help but come over to tell you, that are the most prettiest girl I've seen tonight" … ' Did I just. ..think before you speak'
"Oh... I thought you would have said something better"
"I think I have to agree, my name is Gregg"
"Penelope, it's nice to meet you Greg"
'" So Penelope, do you believe in love at first sight? " …..'We are crushing It here Gregg'
" No, I can't say I do"
A minute pause occurred and all I could do was keep my sweaty hands in my pockets.
"I have to get back to my game, I do hope your game improves "
"I'm sorry, this isnt going well?"
"Bless your heart, what part of 'this' do you think is going well?"
'Think fast' " Ummm..How about this, we play against each other and if I beat you, you give me your number?"
"If I beat you?"
"and if you beat me, I'll give you my number. "
"Really?"
"Okay,Ookay.... You would never need to see me again ... and years from now on your wedding night, I can be just some guy, you met at that bowling alley."
{Flashback end }
It feels live I've been gagged and tied, every part of my body's wants to break free and just leave,
' I will be torturing myself if I say yes'
{Flashback}
"Have you ever seen one before?"
I turned over in the bed to see Penelope standing on the balcony, only wearing my boxers.
She was gazing up into the stars, with her black hair tied into a bun, revealing the hickeys on her neck.
I could still feel her nails digging into my back as I looked at her. "Are you serious?"
She kept looking up at the stars " Very serious"
I walked up behind her and put a blanket over her shoulders and brushed her hair behind her ears. She looked back at me with a soft smile and cuddle into my arms.
"Oh my god, did you see that" she pointed at shooting star
"make a wise " I softly whispered into her ears.
She breathed out, leaned against my chest and closed her eyes. I watched her chest slowly moving up and down, her eyelashes flickered every time. I could see goose-bumps slowly rising on her arms. I felt at peace just looking at her
She opened her eyes and stared at me
"What?"
"What?"
"You have that look in your eyes"
"And?"
"and....I think I love you"
{Flashback end}
' This was bad idea' I took a look at her " Why did you invite me?"
She took a sip of her latte and looked at the ground for a moment.
" What were you expecting me to say... You know, I'd always thought we'd end up married " she looked back at me and broke into a laugh.
"Please.. we weren't a fit for each other, we were miserable, I burnt your clothes, smashed your car.... remember that time you left me on the motorway or punched that hole into my computer"
Her gaze turned soft
" Though...…...you were always the romantic … I guess thats what i loved about you?"
" Do you ever think about me?" I undid the knot of on my tie.
" Now and then but im getting married now...…can we ever... just be friends again? "
"I would love to say yeah...'of course' but no... just no" ' time to go home' I stood up and prepared to leave "Congrats to you and groom...farewell Penelope"...….. as I was walking away i take one last look back, to see her still looking at me.
As i walked out of the shop doors, my eyes were blinded by a light ' fuck me'
"Hey,whats .." Upon opening my eyes, a golden pair of eyes were staring directly at me 'What the hell'
"Did it work?"
I heard a voice from come from the holder of those eyes, that crawled up to me, tugging and grabbing at every fiber of my body. It felt like I would die without hearing it again.
As my heartbeat raced, a red headed maid picked me up, bring me out of my trance.
'Wait, why I am being picked up..why do i have four arms, why the fuck am i purple!"
