As our cab moves through the city towards the hotel where Mike and I are gonna stay, I keep thinking about a few issues.
First of all, Nessie, our Birthday girl of today. She's so kind-hearted, sweet and beautiful, I think I'm falling for her and I met her only a few hours ago...
There's more to her, well, she has the same surname as my bud Logan and somehow I can't help thinking about him when I look at Nessie - don't know why, really. Maybe the reason's behind this cute crooked smile of hers, or the way one of her beautiful eyes gives an impression of her winking, although she's not... Logan gives similarly crooked smiles, one of his eyes gives the same winking-like impression... Nessie's half American, Logan's partly Polish... Nessie has an uncle in America, but it seems she doesn't have much contact with him, his wife and their children. She's not even sure if both her cousins are boys, it's ridiculous!
What if Logan turned out to be her cousin?
Is it possible?
Eh, don't know.
Maybe it is.
Maybe it's not.
If I won't stop thinking about Logan whenever I look at Nessie, I swear I'll be a step away from assuming I belong to the LGBTQ society, under the letter B in particular. No, I have literally nothing against LGBTQ people - in fact, they have my full support. I just haven't seen my orientation coming this way ever before, I'm confused right now.
Secondly, Mike doesn't like me or so it seems. He shook hands with me involuntarily. Sure thing is, he did it only for Nessie. Why was he so pissed off? Maybe he wanted to have alone time with Nessie... Could it be he's also in love with her?
Thirdly, Nessie mentioned something about her best female friend Dinah joining us later tonight for Nessie's birthday celebration. I hope she at least won't look at me with pure anger like Mike does.
"James? We're here," Nessie makes me snap out of my many thoughts.
"Go get your keys, unpack, change, whatever you feel like doing and meet me in the hotel restaurant in an hour," Nessie tells us.
Mike and I get our keys and soon we enter the elevator.
"What a coincidence your room is next to mine," Mike says, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Listen," I sigh. "Mike, I get it, you don't like me, and I understand this, but please tell me if I did anything wrong - cause I don't want us to make Nessie feel uneasy on her most special birthday," I tell him.
"Most special birthday?" Mike asks, confused.
"She turns 21 on August 21st, you get it? She's been waiting for this birthday cause it's the one where the numbers match perfectly. Let's not spoil it for her," I tell him.
"Oh, you're right," he says, blushing. "I'm sorry for my behavior, James. You see, Nessie is like a sister to me. I know that her high school crush broke her heart, and I don't want her to get hurt like that ever again. I've noticed you're attracted to Nessie, don't deny it. I see you care for her, so... Good luck on winning her kind heart, bro."
"Wow, thanks, bro," I reply, overwhelmed.
"Well, see you in an hour," Mike disappears inside his hotel room.
"See you then" I say back.
I really gotta take a shower.
