Say What?

Titanium

It’s been awkward at first, but after finishing the pizza, things became much comfortable with Nathan, just one thing that kept nagging me in the back of my head.

“What? No! You seriously cannot win again!” me and Nathan decided to play Call of Duty and he kept going on and on about how me ‘a girl’ can’t beat him, so far I have won two matches.

“Nobody like a sore loser Nathan” I said while trying to control my laughing and all I got was a glare “Well, I want a rematch!” he was acting like a child, who didn’t accept losing to a girl.

“Well, I don’t want to, besides you are not easy to beat and I am tired” I got up from the floor and moved to the couch, I sat down and opened the book, but no matter how much I try to look away or distract myself I always find his eyes on me with a strange look. I hear him sigh and felt the couch dip next to me “So, what now?” Nathan said “What do you mean?” where is he going with this?

“Well, it’s 7pm on a Friday night and you are spending it reading. As for me I am here and I am bored, so what should we do?” he took the book from me and kept looking at it “You have good taste of books by the way” he closed it and looked at me again “So?”

I sighed and shook my head “Why are you here Nathan? It’s like you said a Friday night, so why are you here? Why aren’t you at some kind of party or with your friends? Why did you come here?” I finally said what I have been thinking since the moment he stepped inside the house.

He looked away, but his face looked confused like a lot is going through his mind “well, I am invited to a party and my friends keep calling me every 10 minutes, serious talking I don’t know why I am here. I just felt bad for snapping at you this afternoon and you didn’t do anything, but then again you always snap at me and I do not do anything about it” I chuckled in the end and so did I.

“Well, I am sorry for snapping, hitting and cursing you. Turns out you are a good guy, but can be kind of an ass sometimes” he rolled his eyes “well, you can be violent sometimes” I giggled and shook my head wait! I never giggle! What’s happening?!!  

“We still didn’t reach an answer you know” he was smirking at me now, I shook my head and leaned back “Well, I don’t want to go anywhere so if you want to leave feel free” I got up and made my way to the kitchen.

“You are such a kill joy; well I am going to head to the party now. Goodbye” he got up and left, that moment I felt cold wind rush through me, I wanted to run after him and tell him not to leave me alone, that I don’t want to spend Friday night all alone.

God get a grip! Woman up! Just stop with the over thinking and you will be alright my inner mini me was right I need to woman up a bit. I went up to my room put some jeans and a pink Floyd shirt and made my way to the garage. The place looked haunted, we lived in a very quite neighborhood, no voices at all and with the lights off, it’s like a serial murderer is going to pop up any second now.

After a good 5 minutes of looking for the light switch, I finally could see and good thing that I found it once the light was on, actually it’s hard to hide a cello, the thing is too damn huge!

I placed it on my back, got my keys and skate boarded and headed to the park, I play the cello ever since I could remember, my mum was a huge fan of classic music and she insisted that me and my brother learn to play instruments, so Matt plays the piano and I the cello. Mum loved that every Friday night we gather around in the living room and Matt and I play her some music, but as I grew I started loving modern music, so I started watching YouTube video about how to play the modern song and tried it myself. Mum encouraged it after a huge fight that I don’t respect the classic music and that I will ruin my talent by playing these things, but after hearing me and the way I played it, she gave in. As for Matt he always loved classic music, but never mind of playing modern every now and then.
