His Scars

A Distractingly Good Arse

I step out into warm summer air, immediately making me regret bringing my jacket.
Even thought it's about nine at night the heat still makes you sweat as if you were in direct sunlight.

I throw my jacket into the backseat of the car, knocking around three empty chip packets.
I lock my car and start the walk to the restaurant, careful not to step in any puddles along the way.

The restaurant, Drumsticks , is a new chicken place that opened up a few months ago. I've been here a few times and they have the best chips in the world.

As I'm getting closer I notice a group of 'lovers', they always remind me of things I'd like to forget when I see them. They are usually teens that found their soulmates at a young age and hurt them to get 'high' off the pain.
It's a disturbing thing to watch and I've known people who have died from blood loss, leaving their partner to try to live the rest of their life knowing they helped kill their soulmate.
They usually never recover.

I try to shake the thought out of my head and push open the door, ringing bells above my head.
The smell of spices hit my head like a brick, causing me to loss my train of thought. Secretly thankful for their over spicing.
I blink a few times to adjust my eyes to the brightness and look around, the brick interior ascetically pleasing.
I look around and see Laura's dark brown, wavy hair sitting at a booth bit away and move over.

"I didn't know you had other friends?" I say as jokingly and as causally as if I've been here for hours.
"Well apparently not. I don't know why I thought they wouldn't be bitches, like really, they're from the preppy group at school."
I grab a chip from a half eaten plate.
"Do you want me to... you know..."
I drag my finger across my throat.
A hint of a smile touches her face.
I smile.
"You do know I know how to skin someone alive."
"Yeah right dumbass."
She punches me in the arm, radiating more pain then I would like to admit.
I stick the chip in my mouth and smile devilishly.

"So... How's life treating you? I mean, besides this night."
"Ummmm... Okay I guess, nothing much has happened since the last tim...."

I miss what Laura says because a illegally attractive... I mean, 'well groomed' man walks in. I suddenly feel my black shorts, blue shirt and bright red shoes are under stylish against his white shirt that shows of every muscle on his magnificent chest, very tight blue shorts and a complementing hat to top it off.
I have no idea why he's wearing a hat in the middle of the night but what ever it is, it's working.
I feel my chin and remember I haven't shaved today and feel stubble and shame.

"... anyway, how has your day been?"
I snap out of my trance and am sure I look like a lost dog.
"What? Ohh, ummmm?"
My eyes catch the 'well groomed" man as he walks out of the store with takeaway, giving me a great view through his tight shorts.

"Hey!"
I feel a snapping inches from my face and look back at Laura, her brown eyes drilling into me.
"What?" I say in the most chalant way possible and face palm myself in my mind.

"I asked you a question, and you just stared at that guys arse while he was walking through the door!"
"Was not!" I try to say with a bit more control and trying not to blush, which I could tell was failing.
"Were too!"
"Was not! I was thinking about your question and just happened to be looking in his direction."
"So you admit you were looking at him!" A cheeky smile attaching itself to her face, making me want to slap it off.
"I was looking in his direction." I say slowly and precisely.
"Fine." She says with an eye roll and a look in her eyes telling me she'll never forget this. I hate that look.
"Will you answer my question then? If you actually heard it."
"Fine." I say while desperately trying to remember the question. Ah! How was my day!
"My day was fine." I tell her and poke my tongue out at her.

We go into conversation again and I decide to put what happened a few minutes ago into the back of my mind to think about later.
