EARTH’S POV
Opened my eyes to some laughings coming from outside of mydoor. Probably from kitchen. I couldn’t sleep well because I was overthinkingabout my unnecessary feelings towards Arus. I mean, come on it was not monthsyet I got dumped. Not dumped exactly but yeah I left my boyfriend for twoyears. And how long it’s been I knew Arus? How can I feel something for him inthese much days? It was totally nonsense. Even if I felt something for him Icannot let them capture me. I did owe this to Leila at least.
I sighed and let myself to the bathroom to wash my face.After that I dragged myself to the kitchen. There I saw them happily laughingand preparing breakfast. Good sex ha? Please please Earth don’t do that toyourself and them also. Leila noticed me and smiled geniunely.
“Good morning darling. Did you sleep well?” she asked.
“Yeah thank you. Good morning to you too.” I said dryly. Andslapped my mouth mentally. Tried to smile.
“Are you ok darling? You look upset. Right Arus?
“…Yeah” he said without looking at me.
“No, there is nothing make me upset. I’m just…I don’t knowgetting bored I think.” I said matter of factly. It was not a lie right?
I saw Leila were thinking something while tapping herfinger to her chin.
“Do you know what? We play at the bar tonight and I thinkyou should come with us. It would be great if you say yes.”
I glanced at Arus who seems disturbed with the idea. Ididn’t know what to say so I kept silence. Leila sensed that I was hesitant andlooked at Arus for his support. Arustook the hot breakfast and put them on the table.
“What do you think darling? “ she pushed him to answer.
“I don’t know. He should decide whether he will come ornot. I mean the cruthces and his leg…I don’t know.” he said finally.
I got angry. It was obvious that he didn’t want me to comewith them. So…
“Yeah…I think I should come with you even if it is hard towalk. It will be better than sitting in the bed.” I said with a fake innocentsmile.
Leila clapped her hands and said she was happy for mydecision. She gestured me to the table and I sat with them. Previous happinnesand joy was gone on Arus’s side. I was not happy to put him in this mood but Igot angry because he didn’t want me there. We ate our breakfast and I offeredmy help for dishes. Arus looked at me as I was the dumbest person and Leilalooked at me as I am the most innocent young boy who wanted to help them evenif he couldn’t. None of them was me. I was a young man who wanted to got rid ofthe weight on his shoulders. And his heart. I excused myself and went to myroom. I had a little time to got a shower and got ready.
When it’s time to leave the house I got out and walked totheir car and Arus helped me to sit on the passenger seat. We arrived at thebar and they settled me on the table in front of the stage. A young waitresscame to me and leaned on me as showing her big boobs through my face.
“What do you want to drink dear?” she asked flirtously.
“Beer please.” I said got nervous by her flirting. Andthen she noticed my leg.
“Ohh what happened to your leg dear?” her boobs right infront of my nose.
“Had an accident. Nothing important” I said while her handin my hairs.
“Leave him alone Alexi. He doesn’t like boobs.” Said amale voice. I turned my head to see him. Arus was smirking on the stage.
“Oh..I see.” She grinned. “So I will let Dima serve yourbeer dear.” And she left.
I looked at Arus to understand what she meant, he wasshaking his head dissappointedly. Ahh this place got me confused really.
A bit later my beer was on my table. First I smell somecologne very freshy and hot. And saw the hand which hold my beer on the table.It was big. My eyes traced the hand to his strong arm and very muscled shoulderand finally his face. He was…someone that you didn’t want to got in a fight.You shouldn’t got him angry. His icy blue eyes were looking at me as if waitingfor something. I realized I was staring at him for a while.
“Oh sorry… thank you for the beer.” I muttered.
“Alexi said there is someone looks like a lost puppy andwaiting for his beer.” Oh my god his voice was very intimidate. But I didn’tlike that metaphor at all. Even if he could smashed me with his one punch on myhead I showed him that I got angry.
“Is that me? I think you should take that beer to someoneelse cause I am not looking like a lost puppy buddy.” He understood that I gotangry because of his words. Smiled. His face softened.
“Ok boy. You are not. I can see that myself. I am overthere at the bar. If you need aynthing just tell me.” He said and then left.
I glanced at Arus to see he was staring at us whole thetime and turned his head to the opposite side. Soon the band gathered on thestage and began to play.
Arus was playing the Bass guitar and he was looking reallysexy. I mean, yeah, sexy. And Leila was playing tambourin. Singer guy’s voicewas really good and the crowd in the bar was enjoying themselves very much.
I tried to keep my eyes else where but couldn’t. I staredat Arus whole the time. At first, he was turning his eyes away but later hecouldn’t either. We just stared at each other. I didn’t even listen to thesong. As if there was a whirlpool between us and both of us dragging in it.Even I forgot Leila was just there with us and it was the huge possibility thatshe could noticed us.
Then the song was over and I was out of my trance.
ARUS’POV
What was that? I couldn’t took my eyes of his. The wholesong we were like in a trance. I just turned my head other side and met Leila’seyes. She was looking like confused and there was a small smile like not asmile at all. What did I do ohh my God. How could lost myself like this. Iglanced at him again and he was looking at his empty beer blankly. Soon Dimacame to his table and sit on one of the chairs. He turned his head to Dima andlaughed at him. I couldn’t hear them anymore because of the music and thechatting of people around. We began to play a new song and I was aware ofLeila’s eyes were on me. Couldn’t stare at him anymore but furtive glances wasenough to see him got enjoy himself with Dima. I didn’t know what they weretalking about but he was having fun with him. It bothered me. I didn’t want toaccept but it really bothered me. Dima pinch his cheek and he shook his handwhile smiling. Dima offered him another beer and he grabbed it gladly. I wasobvious that they were flirting with each other. I got angry. Stupid me.
While we were finally going home. Me and Earth weresilent. Leila was looking a bit uneasy. Suddenly asked
“Earth darling, you were having fun with Dima as I saw.”
“Uhm…yeah he’s cool guy.”
“Yes he is. I am glad you had fun out of house by theway.” She said.
“Yeah me too. Thank you.”
Was that all? She should have continued to ask about Dimaand him. How could she cut it off?
“Yeah I saw that you were laughing at him like a highschool girl buddy. I didn’t know Dima is a funny guy.” I said finally. Icouldn’t keep my mouth shut.
Leila snapped her head to me and Earth frowned.
“Arus why do you…” Leila began but Earth didn’t let her tofinish.
“Doesn’t matter Leila. Actually we were talking aboutfunny moments of being bartender. I was a bartender too.” He said while lookingat the outside through the window.
“Really? You’ve never mentioned that.” Leila said.
“Yes I was. And I was living in a small room at the bar.It was two years ago. Then I met Sam and he asked me to quit my job at the barand move in with him. I was so in love with him and said yes. You know the restof the story.” He said in a heart beat. Now I understood that the bar that nightI went was the bar he worked and the room we…fucked was his room.
“Why did he asked you to quit your job? It is not fairdarling. You need a job to stand on your feet.” Leila said.
“Because I was fooling around and that’s the way I met himtoo and he knew that I was sleeping aroung while working at the bar and didn’twant to be cheated I think.” He shrugged.
I was just listening to them like a stranger. He wastalking about me and our night like I was not there. Like I was not one of hisone night stands before he cleaned his past by Sam. I was a part of his dirtypast nothing more and needed to stop that damn butterflies in my stomach beforeLeila felt something weird was going on.
