Unbelievable, Quentin Jacobsen what did you do?! I can't believe myself right now. Night is almost clearing up now in and the birds have started singing, it's so silent i can hear the minivan taking off. I have a feeling in my stomach that i can't describe... It's like butterflies and hurricanes at the same time, i guess i'll have time to find out what it means. However i can't can get the question out of my mind. What did i do? What if i did the wrong thing, what if i just made it worse for Margo?...
Margo! I remind myself, she is the reason why i came here,and whatever it is that i did for her i know it'll be worth doing and worth remembering. I have to stop before tapping the window of Margo's SUV and take a deep breath, taking everything that has been going on, i am proud of myself for having the guts to do this. It's amazing how you can change so much for one person or one cause, whether it is for bad or for good. But at any rate i know my change was for good. I proceed to walk up to the SUV and knock on the shaded window where Margo is sitting resting her head in the steering wheel. As she rolls down the window she gives me a serious look but not quite so serious.
"I thought you were having second thoughts"
"Pst me? Nope. So... Where to captain?"
At this she lifts up her head and clears her throat then giving me a wicked smile.
"I hadn't had anything planned after this stop... So i think i'd let YOU decide!" She claps her hands and laughs a little. That smile is melting me, I swear. I don't know where to go though so i just say the first place i can think of.
"How about we go to someplace let's say- populated? Boston perhaps. I've always wanted to be there."
"Sounds like a plan. We have to figure out couple things before we go, um do you have any money on you? Because that's gonna be a factor. Also, do you mind sleeping in the car? Because i've done that plenty of times and honestly i'm used to it already. We have to know what we're gonna do there and then i guess we'll see from there." Then she exhales and it's on me.
"I have some money on my bank account we just have to find an ATM somewhere before we run out of gas and then whatever you decide's fine with me okay?"
"Okay then hop on."
I get on the passenger's seat and Margo starts off the engine and almost instantly music starts to blast. We give a jump and I start to laugh like crazy. Margo snaps and quickly turns it off.
"No no leave it." I say chuckling
"Are you sure? Because i feel a bit uncomfortable with-" and without letting her finish i turn the radio back on and start singing along with it. I know the song and it's one of my favorites, it's called Whatever and to anyone who hasn't heard it, well let me tell you that you should listen to it.
I feel like Margo's still trying to put up with her mask and act like the Margo Roth Spiegelman we thought we knew. The one that doesn't blast music and the one that doesn't care about her haircut, but i want to make her understand that she can be herself with me so bad that i just go along with what she does.
I lower the volume just enough so that you can hear our voices and although i hate my singing i start singing the beginning of the song and then motioning my fist to Margo so she keeps on singing the second part.
"I'm free to say whatever I
Whatever I like
If it's wrong or right it's alright" she finishes with a smile and i notice that she's blushing. That is exactly what i wanted to see.
"I want you to see that- that you don't have to hide anymore. Not with me." I say looking into her eyes. She has to trust me if we're gonna do this together.
"I'm sorry Q, i really am" she trails off and her eyes grow red when a tear runs down her cheek.
"I just want you to trust me, i really do."
It's still pretty dark and i can't really see beyond the car lights since there are no lampposts or street lights. Margo takes my hand and gives it a squeeze, her hand is warm and a little sweaty. Ben once told me when he was going on about his dateless life that "first you kiss the hand, then you kiss the girl" so i smile for myself and kiss her hand lightly, surprised that she went ahead of me and is already leaning to my side and in a matter of seconds we're kissing.
