Give Me Life

Chapter 2. The Meeting

Tigranui Danielyan watched from across the street, as an African American girl, and a frisky tanned white boy, began joking around, laughing and holding hands. She soon recognized that it was Katrina, and paused for a minute to think if she should interrupt them or not, they did look like a couple.

"Is that her boyfriend?" She thought, confused.

With Katrina, the girl is shy and had just moved there, so Tigranui thought it was impossible for a girl to get a boyfriend that quick.

"She is a beautiful young woman." She said to herself.

She looked back at Jessica and Devlin, and decided she wanted to go talk to Katrina.

Walking back to the bar; Approaching Devlin, and placing a hand on his shoulder, she told him that she needed to speak with someone, and he nodded, indicating he'll watch Jessica. She looked back at them and left.

"Stop it!" She heard Katrina say, as she slowly approached them, clutching her jacket. She saw her grab his hat, and place it on his hand.

"You know! One day I wish men would trade places with us, you will feel, exactly what I'm talking about!"

As she approached them, both pairs stopped awkwardly, and smiled at her, she smiled back and decided to speak first.

"Feel what?" She curiously asked. "Hello you two, it's nice seeing you guys out, in dis beautiful day isn't it?"

She tried not to let her accent flow but she couldn't help it.. Sometimes, she thought it came out too much.

"Jared doesn't understand why we bleed." Katrina said, her face turning red and Jared's turning redder.

Tigranui laughed at the adorableness, and sighed.

"Men will never know what it's like."

"Hello." They said in return, and rather late.

Katrina smiled warmly at Mrs. Danielyan, she hasn't seen this lady around town since she moved there.

Jared just stared...

"So? What brings you two out, on this nice cold day?"

"We just got off of work."

Jared quickly said, looking down, like he lost something.

"Ah nice, where do you guys work at?"

She was impressed with Katrina, just moving in and already having two jobs.

"We work at Kale & Ford." Katrina lightly exclaimed.

"Ah I see." Tigranui's brow furrowed.

"So you work with Mr. Roderick? The butthole..."

Tigranui paused, aware of what she said, and her and Katrina bursted with laughter.

Katrina had to admit, Mr. Roderick could be an asshole sometimes.

"I meant to say asshole." She chuckled. "Boy that man..." Tigranui purred.

Jared laughed a little, he glanced at the bar, and immediately stopped laughing. He swallowed, and began putting his hands in his pockets, looking down again.

"He's a very difficult business partner yes?"

"Very difficult.." Jared said, sounding a little rushed.

"Well.. I just wanted to stop by and say hello, my children probably need me to go back now."

"I'll see you tomorrow around noon Katrina?" She lightly asked.
