Silent

Chapter 8

The party was going great. Everyone was laughing, drinking, relaxing and just having a good time.

Tim notice that every time he would look down the table at the others, the substitute Jeremy would be glaring at him. It was really making him a little uncomfortable. He takes a drink of his beer then leans over closer to Avi to whisper to him.

"Can you tell me why that Jeremy guy keeps giving me dirty looks?" Tim ask, then tilts his head so that he could see Avi's mouth.

Avi smiles and looks into Tim's dark brown eyes. Their faces extremely close. Avi turns his head a little toward Tim to make it easier for him to read his lips.

"He's intimidated by you. You're the good-looking new guy and he thinks you're automatically after Kirstie." Avi said smiling at Tim.

"She's pretty but definitely not my type." Tim said shaking his head.

"What is your type, Mr Foust?" Avi ask with a smirk.

"Oh, I don't know. I like guys, especially ones with long hair, a sexy smile, beautiful green eyes and facial hair is a must. Oh and a sexy body. Don't matter about the voice, can't hear it anyway." Tim says. "Those are the ones that turns me on. Do you happen to know of anyone like that?"

"Oh, I could look around. That's a pretty tall order." Avi chuckles.

Tim laughs and rubs Avi on the leg under the table. "I'm going to the bar to get something to drink. Need anything?" Tim ask standing up from the table.

"No, just you. Don't be gone long." Avi smiles with a wink.

Tim walks up to the bar not noticing that Kirstie was also there. He tells the bartender what he wanted when he feels a tap on his arm. He looks beside him at the crowded bar to see a very short Kirstie.

"You having Fun?" She ask with a smile.

"Yea, Yea I am. I'm having a great time." Tim said smiling down at her.

"I love these little get togethers. Gives everybody a time to just relax and get comfortable. And I notice you and Avi getting a little comfortable with each other. What's up with that?" She said biting her bottom lip smiling up at him.

He laughs and hangs his head. His cheeks turning red.

Suddenly someone moves in between them shoving Tim over causing him to fall into the guy next to him.

"Hey Dude! What's your problem?" The guy said.

"I'm so sorry. The bar's a little crowded, I was pushed." Tim said holding up his hands. The guy nods and turns back around.

Tim turns back around to meet Jeremy's angry glare.

"Jeremy, what is wrong with you?" Tim ask.

"What is wrong with me? I'll tell you what's wrong with me. I don't appreciate..." Jeremy was saying when he turns around facing Kirstie with his back to Tim.

"Jeremy, he's deaf. He can't read your lips with your back to him. Please don't start any trouble. We were just waiting for our drinks." Kirstie said but was completely ignored by Jeremy.

Jeremy turns around facing Tim.

"OH! I'M SORRY, FOUST! I FORGOT YOU WERE A MUTE! BUT THIS LADY IS MINE, SO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!!!" Jeremy yells as he moves his hands as if trying to do sign language. "UNDERSTAND TEXAS COWBOY!!" He yells poking Tim in the chest.

All the commotion at the bar had gotten everyone's attention at the table. 

"Oh Crap!" Avi said jumping up from the table heading to the bar followed by Scott, Kevin, Chris and Adam.

The hurt that Tim had felt by Jeremy's actions was quickly replaced by anger. Avi and the guys got to the bar just in time to see Tim grab Jeremy by the front of his shirt and shove him against the bar.

"You underestimate me Lewis! Just because I'm deaf doesn't mean this Texas Cowboy won't whoop your sorry ass!" Tim growled through gritted teeth.
