Des'Tai: Book One

40: Faye

At first, Faye was sure Tyron could hear the thump-thump-thump her heart was sounding, but as he continued to talk about how hot she was and wanting to take her on one date and have one kiss with her, she began to feel like this was another cruel joke the universe was throwing at her. No guy had ever told Faye she was beautiful much less pretty and then to be told he wanted to kiss her? Maybe she'd knocked some brain cells loose when she landed on his head.

Standing up straight, Faye felt her anger begin to rise. She didn't like to be mocked and his eyebrow waggling wasn't helping the situation. If she'd been normal sized, she'd have slapped him across the cheek for being so insensitive. This wasn't a joke, she was serious.

"Ya know, Tyron," she enunciated his first name as strongly as she could in hopes to prove a point, "I don't like being made fun of. Do you think being a 22 year old virgin is funny? Well I sure as hell don't."

Taking a few steps across the table, Faye folded her arms and was rather surprised at her outburst. Back home, she always kept her temper in check. Her parents were always so shocked when her brothers would throw candy or gum in hair and she'd simply pull it out. Why couldn't she keep herself in check in this world?

As much as she it surprised her, she liked she was now able to fully show her emotions and at this point, she didn't care if it sent Tyron running for the hills or not, she was about to tell him everything she's wanted to tell every other guy who looked her over for someone prettier, smarter, more appealing than the quiet book worm she was.

"I find it so very hard to believe that I land in this world on top of you of all people. You are by far the cruelest person I've ever met and trust me, humans are exactly as evil as you think they are...especially the men. Funny thing, you remind me of them almost to a T," she glanced up at him as she paced the table, not really noticing his reaction.

"Back on earth, I'm a quiet nobody. I lead a boring life. I have maybe two friends back there and they only come to me when they have problems, no one ever wants to listen to my problems. No guy finds book worms attractive and they definitely don't ask girls who don't put out on dates."

Turning to face Tyron, she placed her hands on her hips.

"During high school, all the guys wanted the cheerleaders, the popular girls. Even in college, the guys don't notice me because I'm unnoticeable. I'm normally quiet and very shy...which is why I blush all the time. I don't like attention and I definitely don't like it when people pick on me because I don't know how to kiss or act around guys I have crushes on."

Faye pointed her finger at Tyron, accusing him as she rambled, "So, if you think you're going to sit there in all your elvin glory and poke fun at me for being a virgin, it wasn't by choice. It's because no one wants me...no one needs me."

Not quite paying attention to her surroundings, Faye began to march across the table and slipped on a small patch of grease from the pizza, landing hard on her butt. As soon as she landed, she felt the tears begin to trickle down her cheeks. A part of her felt relieved for allowing years of pent up frustration out, however if Tyron had actually wanted to kiss her, he definitely didn't want to now, knowing who she really was.
