Becca's POV
#######
I looked down and realized we were still holding hands. I quickly let go.
"Steven he's not my boyfriend"
"nice to meet you"
we said at the same time. Steven and Dave shook hands while I watched dumbfounded. I was prety sure Dave had just insinuated that he was my boyfriend. He was so not my boyfriend, we haven't even been on a date yet! I looked up to see them both looking at me expectantly. Huh?
"I said, do you want to get a table" Steven repeated slowly as if I were stupid.
"Umm sure" I replied unsure. I couldn't very well talk about Dave if he was joining us. Dave suddenly looked down at his watch.
"Sorry guys but I gotta run" He sent me a searing look " 7 tommorow night. See you then" he turned on his heel and left not looking back.
I felt breathless, I couldn't breathe!
"Earth to Becca!" I looked over at steven who was starting to get impatient.
"Damn girl you got it bad" he wrinkled up his nose. Steven had a fear of commitment ever since his first boyfriend cheated on him. I smiled remembering the day I met him and the night that ensued.
##############FLASHBACK################
1 year ago
I quickly counted the cash in my purse not wanting to make another withdrawal this month. It made me uncomfortable to use the money there. Ever since I had started running 3 years ago there was a monthly deposit into my bank account. Unfailingly every month I gained 50,000 dollars. It felt wrong using the money, like I was stealing or something.
WHOOSH
What the hell!? I looked out my car window and saw that a car had ripped my mirror clean off the front of the car. Well looks like i was going to have to dip into my savings.
KNOCK KNOCK
I looked up and saw a man standing at my window gesturing for me to roll it down. This made me nervous in general I didn't like strangers but I was especially adverse to MALE strangers. Whenever I dreamt of what happened that night it was always a man's voice telling me to run and that made me particularly skeptical of men. It didn't help that I still wasn't over-
"wro duwn wur windol" the window was making it hard for me to hear the man and I wasn't so good at lip reading so I decided to roll it down. How dangerous could he possibly be we were in a crowded supermarket parkinglot.
"I'm so sorry! so freakin sorry! how can I make it up to you? I'll pay for it for sure but that's not enough! Oh my god I've never been in an accident what do we do? do you need to go to the hospital!?" this guy was giving me a headache.
"no sir I'm completely fine and don't worry about my car I have insurance" I tried to smile at him but it probably looked more like a grimce.
"no no that's not acceptable my Momma raised me better than that.At least let me buty you a drink, and don't worry I'm not hitting on you" I wasn't worried this man was definitely gay.
"No that's really okay" I smiled more genuinely this time
"okay great! I'll meet you at Smog at 9!" he turned and left not giving me a chance to reply. Oh what the hell I hadn't had any real fun in ages.
Later that day
it's 9:30 whaere is that man!? suddenly I saw him running towards me with suspiciously red eyes.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! wow apologising twice today I'm on a roll" he laughed without humor it was then that I realized how upset he looked.
"hey are you okay?" he looked at me for what felt like a full minute before sitting down heavily next to me.
"No actually I'm not" that's when he started to cry
#########END OF FLASHBACK########
To this day Steven still insists that he didn't cry as he told me about him walking in on his boyfriend with said boyfriend's secretary doing the nasty. Apparently his ex had conveniently forgotten to mention that he was bisexual.
Steven gives me a measuring glance.
"Do you love him?" I was shocked.
"Steven I just met him today!" he looked unfazed
"And? it only takes a glance to fall in love. Just think about Romeo and Juliette, he saw her once and knew he was in love. So I ask again, do you love him?"
"I-I" I was having the hardest time answering this question. Why couldn't I just say NO! I knew why, it was because deep down I know that isn't true. I don't love him, but I'm definitely on my way.
