"Wait no! That came out wrong," I quickly get up and bump into a couple of guys walking by, "Oh excuse me."
"Are you trying to start a fight little man!?" shouted the one with the red hair as both him and his buddy circled me.
'Geez they smell like booze, clearly drunk,' I thought and said to the men, "No, I'm sorry for bumping into you like that."
The man with the red hair looked and walked passed me towards Tamara.
"You are just my type lil'lady, chicks with glasses are my weakness," he then points at me with his thumb, "You can't be with this kid, right?"
'Tck,' the sound that came out of Tamara's mouth as she takes a slip of her drink.
"She must be his babysitter or a pity date for the poor fool, ha ha," laugh the man with the hat.
"Leave her alone, she has nothing to do with me bumping into you," I said as I try to head towards the red hair man before I got blocked by other guy. The red-hair man winks at his friend, takes Tamara's drink, and drinks it, licking all over the top of the cup. He then stops to look at her were he tries to hand it back towards her mouth.
"Indirect kiss," he said as he lends forward trying to push the cup pass her hand blocking him from doing so. She tries to push the cup away but the man puts his hand on her shoulder, pushing her back so her neck can hit the curve part of the booth seat. Still fighting back, he squeezed her shoulder hard until she let out a small noise. 'Must restrain myself, come on, hold it in,' Tamara told herself. Hearing her grunts made me jerk away from the hat man and pulled the red man away from her to which started coughing.
"I said, she had nothing to do with..." I yelled as I get punched on my right side, and before hits me again; Tamara spills the rest of her drink over his head.
"Yeah, here is your indirect kiss," she said.
It seemed everything froze in place, I thought. The red hair guy looks at me with his eyes widen and the guy with the hat has his mouth opened unable to say anything. I looked up at Tamara, she was standing over the red guy with her eyes narrowed, and I have to say she looked kind of badass. Then I looked down and saw the red guy's eyes were tearing up...wait it's like he was rejected by someone he really likes, I know that feeling all too well.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked and the red guy rubs his eyes.
"No, wahhh!" he cried, "I'm all wet."
"Sorry man, where is your table?" I question him. The red guy sniffs and points to a table near the left end of the restaurant, it was like he was a little kid looking for his mom. I turned to Tamara and said "I'll help him walk to his table," I then turn to him, "Come on, I'll take you to the rest of your friends."
As I was walking the red guy to his table, the hat guy looks like he didn't like the change of plans. He looks around, grabs a beer bottle on another table, and runs behind me. As if we both had a sixth sense, we turned to see the hat guy swing the bottle towards my head.
"Stop James, that's enough!" yelled the red head.
I can see that hearing his friend telling him to stop made him even angrier and I was getting ready to try and dodge the attack. Next everything went so fast, first all I saw was a raging face, a foot slams into his face, and then his head went flying. I turned to look where the kick came from to see a light-blue dress flowing and black pants dancing in a circle as the same direction of the kick. As I watch her go down from the air, is when it was all in slow-motion and when she lands all the loud noises from the guy crashing and the drunken/sober cheers from the whole restaurant came rushing in. The red guy rushes to his friend to check up on him and I was just caught off guard for a minute.
I snapped out of it when I heard Allyson, "Oh my god, it's been a long time since I saw your spinning hook kick, Tamara!"
It seem to snap Tamara out of whatever mode she was in and looked at Allyson. She then jumps, looks at me, and looks down...was she embarrassed?
"Tamara?" said Allyson looking concerned and Tamara jumps and pats her on the head.
"I...I have to go, have fun, tell me everything later," she said quickly, "It was nice to meet you Toma, everyone..." She then rush though the door with her hand on her head.
"Wait hold on, Tammy..." Allyson yelled as she tries to run after her before I stopped her.
"I'll go after her, you stay," I told her.
"But..." she started and I shake my head.
"Do you think she will feel better if you ran after her now," I stated.
Allyson paused, "No she would blame herself for ruining my date with Toma, but I'll never think that!"
"Plus is it MY job to look after her, I AM her date today," I said trying to assure her and Toma puts his hands on Allyson's shoulders and smiled gently.
Allyson sighed, "Make sure you tell her I'm worried and bring her back," she then gets closer to me, "Don't let us suffer alone with these worms."
I let a snort, nodded, and ran out the door after Tamara.
