5. how could i forget that face?

third person

"rough night?" farrah asked him, sitting slumped over on the curb was never usually a good sign. she joined him, sitting down next to him on the cold concrete edge. 

due to the nature of her job her people senses we're top notch, she didn't feel threatened by him. he was almost familiar in a way. 

"yeah, drank too much" he shrugged, "i know those ones" she said. "we're you at the concert?" she asked him, turning around to read the events sign at the front of the venue. 

gus smiled, "it's my concert" he tried not to sound cocky. "no way that's awesome" the girl seemed genuinely impressed. the way she spoke reminded him of someone, but he couldn't put his finger on it. he felt like he was having deja vu. 

"you should come around to one some time" he offered her, "i'd love to" she said. "i play here most weekends, unless i can get something bigger" he told her, "great, i know where to find ya". 

gus tried not to be too creepy and stare, but he was trying to get a good look at her face. 

"the shows just about over, do you want a ride home or something? so you aren't out here walking alone at night" he offered her. he definitely sounded like he was trying to kidnap her or something. 

"i only live a block away, i work really close so i'm used to the walk. thanks so much though" she smiled. 

the girl began to stand up from the curb, assuming the end of the conversation. 

"hey" he stopped her, she waited for what he had to say next, 

"sorry, i'm really not trying to sound creepy or anything but you just seem really, really familiar and i can't figure out where i know you from. i'm gus by the way" he forgot to mention his name.

"gus" she whispered to herself, "no, no you're not being creepy at all i was actually thinking the exact same thing" she lowered herself back down to sit next to him. 

"i'm d- farrah" she wasn't used to introducing herself to men with her real name. 

"farrah" he said, memories flooding back. 

"we went to h-"

"highschool together" they both spoke at the same time, remembering the connection. 

how could he forget that face? she was blonde now, he liked it better than her dark hair before. she was still pretty as ever. 

"i don't know if you remember me at all, i didn't have many friends back then" gus confessed

"no oh my god, i totally remember you gus. we met doing well, basically exactly this, it was storming, my lighter wouldn't hold a flame" farrah recounted their first encounter. 

after that they had talked a few times at school but nothing much more, the school year ended and they both graduated, going on their own paths, which were apparently very close to each other. 

"yeah, you had dark hair before didn't you?" gus asked, trying to clarify his memory

"yeah i did, i'm a natural blonde but i thought i was real edgy in highschool, so i kept it black" 

gus laughed, "i never outgrew my 'edgy' phase then i guess" .

"no you look good", farrah complimented. 

"how have you been?" she asked gus, placing her bag down beside her, she assumed they were gonna talk a while. 

"good. pretty good. i'm still doing music. i play some shows now and stuff. obviously. but you said you work around here? what are you up to?" he asked, babbling awkwardly like a teenager with a crush. 

"that's fantastic, good for you! i'm uh, i'm a dancer" farrah stuttered, losing her confidence as she spoke about her work. 

gus put two and two together when she said that. the bruises and fishnet marks, it made sense. he really didn't care though. bills gotta get paid, another day another dollar. 

"do you enjoy it?" he asked, she had every right to discuss what she did with as much ease as he did.

"it's not bad" she started to get her speaking confidence back, realizing that there was no judgement for gus, wether he realized what she really did or not. 

"so do you live around here?" farrah asked, "yeah i do, you?- shit you just said you did" gus blushed from embarrassment. 

"i should get back to my show, but it was really great to see you again farrah. we should see each other again some time" gus proposed. 

"i'd like that, i know where to find you" farrah winked, picking up her belongings 

"see ya"

"yeah, see ya" 

they both waved, going in their opposite directions.
