CHAPTER 6: Here Again

Steve, Linda and Jessica found a table in the back of the restaurant. They were in middle of a heated discussion about the movie they’d just seen.

“It was about love. Steven.” Linda told him. “ Not a fling.”

“But the heart had very little to do with his decision. The story led to the growth of a man. “ Jessica interjected.

“I agree with Jess, Linda’s it was a coming of age story.”

“Well, whatever. I loved it.” Linda said.

“Yeah, it’s a little to close to home.” Steve said

“Still thinking about John?” Linda asked

“John, I thought you were over that?” Jessica asked

“Yeah, I lied. It’s just, I think I still miss and hate him at the same time.”

“Hey who’s that girl with Kevin?” Linda asked pointing towards them.

“I don’t know.” Jessica answered, turning. “Maybe Dave’s girlfriend.”

“Who is she, is she new around here?” Steve asked

“Must be, I’ve never seen her before. Wait, isn’t that Dixon next to her?”

“Bloody hell it is. “ Linda said.

Steve nearly choked on his hamburger. He hadn’t expected to see John this soon; actually he hoped not to see him all. A wave of emotion rushed him. Hurt, from the pain this man caused, fear of what he was thinking. Love, an emotion he’d never felt for anyone else, he couldn’t feel for anyone else. Why come back this summer, why not last summer or the one before? It was fate, Steve told himself. Maybe this was their second chance. No that was foolish talk, he and John could never have what they had. It was over. But why did this man have such hold over him. Controlled his feeling so easily. Steve felt like a puppet on a string, waiting to be jerked around.

“Steve, babe, you ok?” Linda asked, shaking him from his thoughts.

“Yeah, I’m good Linda.”

“Hey, I’m going to give Kevin a piece of my mind. He had no right to pick with you.” Jessica said getting up from her seat.

“Jess, let it go, it’s no big deal.”

“Besides he’s on his way over here.” Linda said.

“Jessica, you should be careful who you hang with.” Kevin said stopping at their table.

“Shut your face Kevin. What do you want, can’t you see I’m in the middle of something.”

“Did your queer friend tell you he hit me?” Kevin asked

“Yes. He should have him you harder.” Jessica said.

“Jessica can I talk to you outside?”

“Whatever. I’ll be right back.” She told Steve.

“I just don’t understand what she sees in him.” Linda said, watching the couple argue.

“Love is blind.” Steve said. He looked towards John; it was at that moment their eyes locked. Neither made a move, or attempted a smile. After a few seconds, Steve broke away.

“God, why can’t I get over him?” Steve asked, more to himself.

“Steve, it’s been three years. Sweetie, you never had a chance, your dwelling on the pass. Go
over and speak to him.

“Right Lind’s, just walk over and say Hi John, remember me, the guy you strewed, in more ways
than one.” Steve laughed

“Steve your horrible.”

“Are we ready to go?” Jessica asked returning to the table.

“You looked streamed. Wanna talk about?” Steve asked

“ No, I’ve done enough talking for today. “

“I’m not ready to go home just yet.” Steve said, as they stepped outside.

“First I can’t get him out of the house, now I can’t get him back in.” Linda laughed

“We’ll I’m dead tired. I’m going to call it a night.” Jessica said. Call me tomorrow. “ She yelled as she walked towards home.

“So Lind’s, what do you want to do now.”

“Lets take a walk.”

“The park?”

“Of course” Linda replied
