Chapter 12

 

Thursday Night Possibilities
Watch Alisha Perform at the Summit Theater

Pros; Not have a boring night thinking, talking, and writing to Prithvi. Have fun, be with people.

Cons: Running into Angad, who I actually ran away from after he delivered that incredible, mind-numbing, moth-melting kiss.

Stay in My Room

Pros: Lots of times to remember how great Prithvi is…I mean his kisses have got to be better than Angad's….right? Not see Angad.

Cons: Be alone. Lonely. Spend my best days of my life, as my mother calls them, in isolation.

 

     I was sitting on my bed, staring at my decision maker. After the park closed at 10, there was going to be a performance at the Summit Theater for the staff, since we wouldn't get a chance to watch the show when we were working our shifts.

     I really wanted to go. After all everyone I knew would be going- Alisha, Patty, Liza, Mandy, Zo, and Jordan.

     And wherever Jordan was, Josh, Cole, and Angad followed. That was the main reason for my not going.

     I sat there, trying not to relive the humiliation of not pushing Angad away when he latched his amazing mouth to mine. The humiliation of actually moving closer to him. To smell his tangy smell, the cologne he always wore, and the smell of the sea mixing in with him. I knew I would never be able to think of the sea without thinking on him.

     When our mouths had finally unlocked, I sat there, breathless, numb, and o so darn guilty. I wondered how I would face Nick. Would he notice that some guy's mouth had branded its taste in mine?

     I decide to call Prithvi. "Hey" I said, thinking I sounded guilty.

     "Hey." He yawned.

     "Did I wake you up?" I asked.

     "Ya. Late night."

     "Why?" I asked, wincing at how jealous I sounded.

     "Just went out to a movie and dinner with friends."

     "Which friends?"

     "Some guys from work. Why does it matter?"

     "I feel like im not a part of your life right now."

     "Because you're not. It was your choice Kripa."

     "I don't want to fight Prithvi."

     "I don't either Kripa, but this is hard. I see the other guys with their girlfriends-"

     "And I see girls with their boyfriends. Look I don't want to get into this. I just wanted to hear your voice and tell me you love me."

     "Course I do." He said.

     Not exactly a resounding endorsement.

     "Can you say it?"

     "I love you Kripa."

     "K. I love you too."

     We talked a little longer about nothing in particular, and then hung up. I didn't feel better about anything at all. I sighed and lay down. Just then there was knock on the bathroom door.

     "Come in!" I called.

     "Hey" Alisha walked in, looking all flushed and excited. "You're coming right? Oh my god im so nervous I think im gonna puke!"

     I looked at her. I couldn't be a jerk to the poor girl- she had been nothing but sweet to me.

     I smiled and looked at her, "Wouldn't miss it!"

     She grinned and hugged me, after I got up. "Thank you! I need all the support I can get!"

     "No problem."

     I hope I wouldn't regret this!

******

     That afternoon was killer. I kept expecting Angad to come up behind my shoulder and suggest we take up where we left off last night.

     It didn't help that the gift shop was horrible. People kept going to the t-shirt rack, unfolding the shirt to look at the front, even though we had samples up on the wall. And people decided they wanted to buy a bell, and then halfway to the register decided to get something else and leave it on the shelf with the shot glasses (why would any kid need shot glasses from Hansel and Gretel?!).

     So this particular day was going really slow. I kept on wishing that Angad would come but then I would reprimand myself. This was not what I wanted to think about. Life was so dam* complicated.

    

******

     That evening Patti tapped me on the back. "We'll clean up tomorrow. Don't you have a show to watch?"

     "Ya." I said. Nancy and Gina joined us, as Patti and I pulled down the chair bars to lock the shop. We all headed to the Summit Theater together, laughing and talking. When we got to the theater, Nancy, Patti, Gina filed ahead of me, and I went behind them. The place was filled with people! Within seconds I lost sight of Nancy, Patti, and Gina.

     "Hey roomie!" I cringed. My worst nightmare alive. I turned and saw Alliyah standing behind me. She was grinning like she found the world's biggest nightmare. It felt good to be liked, but I noticed the usual suspects were with her. Including Angad.

     "You're gonna sit with us right?" she asked.

     How could I say no? "Sure."

     She smiled and started chattering excitedly about how cute Alisha looked and how cool her dress was. We finally got to the row of seats we were supposed to sit in, grateful because Alliyah was next to me. But when I edged my way down the row and into my seat, I looked up to find Angad moving in to sit in the seat next to me.

     Oh crap!

Merry Christmas!! Hope you all get all the things you wanted! This was part that I didn't enjoy at all. I hate the way its come out- the grammar sucks and the sentence structure does as well. Im so sorry! So this time im only asking for 6 comments. I would be grateful to get that many, since I know this part sucked. Next part will be about Angad and Kripa interacting and Angad will give Kripa a very interesting proposition. What is it? That you will all know in the next part. You can start guessing if you want anytime! K so merry xmas and sorry its kinda short!
