- December 9 2016.
I stepped out of the small record shop i was working in.
"You need a walk home?" Collin asked
I shook my head and humbled a thank you
I started walking it was raining of course cause it was winter and i was in the UK.
I made my way towards my flat and stepped in
I stood in the lift for a while until the doors opened,
I unlocked the door from my apartment and stepped in putting my coat off and laying my keys on the kitchen table pouting myself a glass of red wine.
The radio was still on, i never put it off
"Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine gotta gotta be down cause I want it all
It started out with a kiss how did it end up like this" i sang softly to myself making my way towards the living room
"It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag now they're going to bed-" i sang again but got cut of by my phone
"Hello Becky" i said with a sigh
"Your in the middle of something?" She asked
"No, what's up lid?" I asked "haven't seen you in a while, you fancy coming to your favorite bar tonight?" She asked
I looked at the time "sure see ya in a bit, do i need to pick ya up?" I asked "yeah that would be nice cheers liddddddd" she said
"Bye Becky" I said hanging up
I grabbed my phone walking into the bathroom brushing my hair and teeth
I didn't bother doing my make up over so i walked into my bedroom grabbing a blue nice jumpsuit and black high heels walking out of my apartment
I messaged Becky saying that i was on my way
I walked out of my flat and opened my car hopping in, i turned on the radio and heard a song that i haven't hurt in a long time
Someday by the strokes
There was something familiar about it though
Then i remembered, van and me danced to this song.
I sighed and started my car speeding off
-
"Ello mate" I said as Becky opened the door
"You look gorgeous" she whispered
"Oh why thank you" I chuckled
She closed the door and walked towards my car
Suddenly a window opened revealing her brother and a couple friends
"Oi oi lexi" he said "shut up you wanker before mam comes home to read you before you go to sleep!" Becky said hopping into the car
Her brother looked taken back and then looked at me "you know that's not-" he started
"I don't even care Brandon mate" i chuckled opening the door of my car "have a class night you" he said i looked again at him "you got a girlfriend right?" I asked he nodded "correct" he said "and your twenty right?" I asked he nodded "the fuck is wrong with ya then?" I asked he groaned closing the window
I got into my car and speed off
"Ready for a fun night?" She asked me
"What do you have planned?" I asked
"Nothing special just a little surprise" she said smiling
I nodded "right"
-
We arrived at the bar and walked in
i sat down "I have to use the toilet" Becky said i nodded ordering a beer
Becky got back with a guy by her side
He looked familiar as he got closer
"Remember Bob?" She asked me smiling
I frowned, if Bob was here, was van here also?
"Uh yeah- of course i do, alright Bob?" I asked him he nodded shaking my hand "fine thank you" he whispered sitting down
"Van and Larry couldn't come, they were busy recording but maybe later they'll come" Bob said i nodded and looked at Becky with a look that said 'this was the surprise?' I raised my eyebrow and then took a sip of my beer
"Benji and bondy are here in a bit" he then said
-
It was 2 am and i was tired as hell
"I'm going home yeah?" I said to them they nodded "can i come and sleep over at yours?" She asked "yeah fine goodnight" i said walking out of the bar
I pulled my jacket closer around my body and sighed
I turned around and saw, yeah i saw van
But he was older, well he looked older
His hair was older that made him look more mature and his clothing style changed slightly
Those kinda things "ello Lexi" he said with a ciggy in his left hand
"Hello" I said lighting a fag "you alright?" He asked "yeah excellent" I lied with a nod
"That's good" he whispered "what you doing here in London?" I asked "work innit" he chuckled "like last time" i said he nodded
"Like last time" he whispered looking at me
"I'm going home goodnight van" I said not looking at him "goodnight love" he said
I was furious, how could he act like nothing happened
We kissed danced he wanted me
And now all he could say was 'ello'
He didn't even explain why he didn't say goodbye to me
I walked home in the rain and sat down on my bed
Why didn't he say goodbye?
That was the question spinning around in my head
