Our Deadly Sins

Ch 6

I eagerly awaited Sav's arrival. I say in blue jeans and a tight fitting T-shirt on the couch, my leg bouncing slightly. I'm sure everything will be fine. But what if something happens? It won't. Shut up.

I sighed and got up, walking around my apartment. I heard a ding and eagerly checked my phone.

I'm here

I jumped up and grabbed my bag, checked for my wallet, and left the apartment. When I got outside, Sav waited for me, leaning against her car. "Hi there, I'm ready." I said enthusiastically.

Sav smiled brightly. "It's good to see you!" She pulled me into a tight hug. " I hope you like where we are going, there's a bit of everything there. "

I shrugged. "I'm good with pretty much anything, I'm rarely ever picky."

We both got into the car and drove off, I watched out the window actively checking my surroundings. There's still a chance this is a set up. Be ready.

"You seem tense, are you okay?" I could hear concern in Sav's voice but she didn't take her eyes off the road.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I replied.

The rest of the car ride was rather quiet, soft music coming from the speakers of the car and a slight road noise gave me something to focus on. When we pulled up to our destination my eyes found a large, wood cabin like building. There was a big neon side reading "Casper's Bar and Grill". The parking lot seemed to have a lot of cars, but Sav was quick to find a spot. "I hope you like it, I know you don't seem much for people, but at very least I should be able to get us somewhere away from the bar."

I smiled softly. "This looks nice, I'm sure it'll be okay."

Sav looked over at me, our eyes met and suddenly the world stopped. Everything seemed frozen, like I was in a bubble. My stomach fluttered with butterflies and my muscles relaxed. I have nothing to worry about, maybe my fears were wrong. All the voices were gone. I felt, free. What is this feeling? Sav leaned her face closer to mine, the butterflies fluttered violently and my eyes fluttered closed. So close to feeling safe... I felt her lips brush against mine before a loud ring erupted, my eyes shooting open.

"I'm busy, and this can wait." I heard Sav say into her phone. There was a small pause. "I don't care. I'm hanging up now." She grumbled and hung up, rolling her eyes.

The nervous feeling retuned. Who was she talking to? "We should head inside." I said a bit too quickly.

Sav nodded, seeming to hide her eyes from me and got out. I followed her inside. Opening the door we were met with an eruption of voices, drunken laughter and playful conversation, as well as glasses and plates clinking. The noise level made me wince but I tried to hide my uncomfort. There were several rows of seats right by the door, people eating in sets of 2-5. A woman walked up to us, menus in her arms. "How many for you today?"

"Just two."

"Alright head right this way." The woman took us into a different room and opened the door. The overwhelming talking settled down to a dull whisper as we set down, soft music and the hum of the Air conditioner filling my ears, I sighed of relief and started looking at the menu.

"Wow everything here looks good." I noted, scanning over everything.

"I told you, this place has everything." Sav chuckled and scanned the menu, finding what she wanted.

The server walked back to us, smiling. "What can I get you two for drinks?"

We both made our orders and she rushed out to fill them. I looked over at Sav and felt my cheeks flush. Am I really falling for her? She makes me feel like I havnt felt in a long time. Is this the right thing to do? Will she still like me if I tell her the truth?

"Your staring, everything okay dear?" Sav tilted her head. "You seem to do this a lot."

I laughed nervously. "Yeah it's a bad habit of mine, sorry about that."

"No your good, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You go through a lot don't you?"

I want to tell you so bad but I don't want to change how you feel... "Just the average stuff, collage, jobs, family, that kind of thing."

Sav sat for a second. What does she already know about me? "You seem to be dealing with it all quite well, anyone else I know would be a total mess."

I chuckled. "I used to be like that, I used to drive myself nuts over it, but you get used to it after awhile." That and I had much bigger things to worry about.

"I admire your ability to handle so much, I get so stressed at the smallest things." She smiled softly. "There's a lot about you that I like."

I felt great rise in my cheeks. "Oh yeah? Now you have me curious."

Her face turned a slight shade of red as she figured out what to say. "Well I like how smart you are and how good you seem to be with technology, I also like how you don't let things bother you. You just seem so comfortable to be around. And when I see you I-" she stopped, more blush rising in her cheeks.

Is this really how people see me? "You what?" I questioned.

"I-I get all flustered and I just want to-" I leaned over the table, our lips touched and the butterflies returned. So soft... I could do this forever.. our lips stayed connected for a few short seconds before I pulled away. Sav's face held and expression of awe. "That. That is what I want to do."

I giggled and propped my face up on my hand. "Well, it feels good, so I figured I'd do it again."

We both smiled happily, the server coming back with our food. "Wow this looks so good."

I nodded in agreement. We both ate in relative silence, processing what just happened. Before I knew it we stood up, leaving the tip on the table, to take care of the bill. We left the room, and the chatter seemed louder than before. I cringed at all the noise and instinctively held on to Sav. She looked back at me and furrowed her brows before nodding in understanding. I took a deep breath and tried my best to deal with all the noise until the we finally left, everything once again fading into the background. "I have got to get noise reducing headphones." I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.

Sav smiled at me. "I have a solution."
