1Chapter 4 – My Invitation
"Girl." – Lisa started "You can't be so... selective. Men aren't perfect."
"Neither are we." - Sincerity put the dinner plates on the table. I had just told them about the night before. Judging by her tone of voice she wasn't so happy.
"Well, I'm sorry. I didn't like him!"
"Yeah, it's kind of gross." -Lisa joked
"NO!" –Sincerity shouted "It's kind of stupid! You can't judge people by appearance!"
"Hey, Sincy, that's not the point." -Lisa said "For whatever reason she didn't like him."
"She should have given him a chance!"
I didn't say anything else. I guess she was quite upset. Way overreacting, I think. But that's Sincerity. Always with the "don't judge, don't judge" crap.
So that means I would be spending my next two nights alone. Lisa was going out with Mike tomorrow night like she did every Fridays, and I was sure that after that argument Sincerity would be going out too. But Saturday upsets me the most. I have so many good memories of Saturdays. With my friends, with boyfriends, at parties.
Yeah, I'm alone on a Saturday night and NO ONE understands why I'm so obsessed in finding a boyfriend.
Go figure!
Of course, nothing happened. I just stayed at home watching movies where everyone dies and everyone is unhappy, where life sucks harder than mine.
And to make it worst, that Sunday, Sean called me. There's nothing wrong when Sean calls. We haven't talk since forever. He's an old friend of mine.
But I told him about my decision to get a boyfriend and after a while we kinda argued. I mean, he was mad at me. He said some evil things. Well not evil, but not nice either. And I got annoyed. Pissed, actually. I said some 'not so nice things' myself.
I couldn't remember why he got mad. I mean I had no idea why. There were so many reasons I could think off, I just didn't know which one was. I mean, not that he had that many reasons to be mad at me. It could be anything. He just never says what's on his mind. What hurts him. And I'm supposed to guess?
Sean has always been there for me. Most times anyway. We were friends in college and he stood by me all the time.
I sighed when I turned off the phone. My feet were cold.
«Jesus!»
My socks had a huge hole. That's an awful thing for a girl to have. An awful thing for anyone to have, actually.
I took them off and looked at them. My heart had a hole like that too. Stupid weekend. Stupid Sean. Stupid me
Then, magnificent Monday came:
At work, as soon as I opened the door, I heard:
"Well, good morning, you're late. Again."
"Yes. And don't you find those trousers a little small for you, Vivi?"
"Oh, shut up, you both." – I sighed "Leave me alone today."
"Aw. Feeling depressed?" –Xander asked
I looked at him.
"Yes." – Well, I was! I had no way to deny it. Even to those cold hearted assholes, who can't think further than their small minds allow.
They sat next to me. Each on each side. I felt like a hot dog.
"What happened?"
"You can tell us."
I looked at them. They seemed so caring, in that moment, so human, that I just spilled all out.
Everything.
Even my stupid ass weekend.
Yeah, I'm easy.
They kinda left me alone for the rest of the day, but later I realized I shouldn't have told them! KNOWNING THEM WHO WOULD?
"WHY did I tell them that?" –I cried on Lisa's lap
"Maybe they're not that bad."
"Yeah, honey." –Sincerity said touching my hair "You know there's more to people than meets the eye."
See? There she goes. "it's the inside that counts" Screw you.
"I don't have the heart to meet them face to face after tell them all that."
"Of course you do."
I'll be seriously bad if I haven't these two with me.
Even Sincerity and her «inner-beauty» crap.
But Seth and Xander didn't mention it, actually.
Until Friday came again.
Seth looked at me and said:
"Vivi are you going to have a sucky weekend?"
"What? Why?"
"Are you?"
"Are you making fun of me?"
"No." - Xander said - "Seth and I are going to see a 3 movies marathon at my house. We just do that every Saturdays, we either go out or rent movies, we get a discount."
Now I think they're really a couple.
"Okay. Your point?" – I asked
"Would you like to come with us?" – Xander asked
For a second I was speechless.
"Really?"
"Yeah. I have an extra sit and you have a whole weekend."
"Well, sure. Why not?" –«Yeah, really Vivi... Why not?»
"Great then!"
"Shall I pick you up?" – Seth asked
"If you don't mind."
"You live so close, how could I? I'll pick you up at 9 pm."
"Fine." –I smiled
.….…...erm.
I've actually agreed to this.
Ah, screw it. It will be fun! I mean they're good people despite the fact that they are always teasing me! But...
"Guys?"
They turned their faces to me.
"Do I look that desperate?"
"No way, sweetheart." – Xander said "We all have bad weekends. Let's not have two in a row, right?"
Then he blinked and I smiled.
...
Aw, I told you them seemed human.
