"You should come sit with us when you're done Tess." Abigail said as we both went to drop their orders.
" Sure. Maybe when I'm done." She said with a wink that made you think she was a Lesbo! And we both walked back to the kitchen in an awkward kind of silence.
" Don't apologize." I said closing the door, "I'll only feel more sick. Besides, they didn't do much harm anyway. It's not like they insulted me or anything, so let it be, will you." I said, sighed and slumped on on a stool next to the counter.
" I wasn't planning to apologize anyway. But I get it's kind of hard being and feeling invisible." She said, sitting above me , atop the counter. " You've not talked about the 'he' for a while now, that's rather unusual." I said, with a smirk evident on my face.
" Is that why you're suddenly looking smug?" She asked staring intently into my soul. If there's anything I hate more than cockroaches, it's prolonged eye contact- Even with people in my circle.
"Don't jump the question. Did you do something to put him off? Did you blurt it out?" I asked in mock horror.
" Did I tell him I was busy at the moment?" She asked sarcastically.
"Really? Just what is it you like in Austin? What do you see in him?" I asked assuming a skeptical position on the stool.
" He's handsome, and he's a hunk." She said dreamily. Disgusting! How do people conjure up such disgusting expressions when they fall in love?
" So you got your eyes on his balls?" I asked bluntly, making it sound like a statement, rather than a question.
" Uh No!" She said, and we both thought the same thing..... Bradley Jones! # crush No 6. She fell for him after she saw him only on soaked underwear, in a peek from the boys shower. Then she fell in love with his large DILDO (ahem)- and fell out of love with it when he started going out with Sonia Meyers.
Now this 'hunk' of an Austin, who by the word picture, obviously had a huge DILDO (AHEM!!!) also. How did she even see it? She definitely wasn't telling me something. Not my place to push it, so ....
" Then what?" I asked in a critical manner that made her make faces at me.
"He's handsome, he's... Ugh. I don't know, cute? A hunk?" She asked and groaned in frustration.
I smiled, and it deepened slowly into a grin.
"Really? You're still talking about him being a hunk? You're clearly are still deep into he's balls. How'd you even see them?" I asked in an annoyingly nonchalant manner, that succeeded in making her only more frustrated.
" Maybe you should find a girl, and shove your soul into her pussy! Maybe you'd know how I feel!" She said trying her best to annoy me, but It clearly wasn't working. I burst out laughing. *What's funny?!" She asked, staring daggers at me, only adding to the humor of the situation.
"That you think I'd do that? Shove my...? " I said in a fresh outburst of laughter. " Why should I do that? When you're all the pussy I need? Not that I would shove my soul into you or anything, but still..." I managed between my laughter, to which she was already giggling.
Soon we were laughing till our ribs ached. Reason? Still pending.
***********
"Be going now. I'll see you tomorrow at the town square by twelve." I said to Tessy when I popped by their table, where she was so engrossed in a conversation with Perry, that I was almost invisible to her too.
" Sure, see ya then." She said and waved me off.
I walked out of the shop, ignoring the flimsy gesture. Well, what can friends do?
When I got to my art wall, I saw that a certain #DonArld had graffiti-sized half the wall, with the portrait picture of a blue potted sunflower with a blue brick wall background. Under the painting was an inscription that caught my eye...
'What's your boldest stroke?'
