“Artie?”
I don’t want to look up from the computer. I’m almost done editing this scene, I can feel it. If only I can just find the right place to cut the last scene…
“Artie!” Her voice is more insistent this time.
I finally look up, it’s Jessica from my film class. I blink up at her, my eyes blurry from staring at the computer for too long. “What’s up?” I try to act casual, but man, she’s hot. I mean, she’s edgy and smart and talented and… did I mention good looking?
She chuckles a little, smiling at me. “They’re closing the labs now, you better finish up.”
I sigh. I just need a little more time, but I guess I’ll have to finish tomorrow. I make sure to save my project, on the school server and on my own flash drive, just in case. Finally, I look up at her. “Alright, I’m done for now.”
“Cool,” She’s so casual, but her eyes are intense. “Hey, a few of us are going to a club now. Do you wanna come? You look like you need to loosen up a bit.”
“Um…” I look down at my phone. I sent a text to Kitty an hour ago, but there was no answer. It’s been hard to keep in touch lately because our schedules are so different. I feel like she’s never available.
I send Kitty another quick text now, hoping she’ll answer. I know she’s probably just busy, but I can’t help it. I need her to answer.
I feel kind of guilty, but is it so bad that I miss her? Here I am in a city full of available girls and I’m kind of tied down to someone 800 miles away. I still like Kitty a lot, but man. I’m addicted.
A familiar old song starts playing in my head. I can see myself dancing with those girls. It’s almost like a soundtrack for a film playing in my head. I want them so badly… I wonder what it would take; one dance, one kiss could lead to much more.
I feel like a beast. I know I’m just missing Kitty. I wonder what she would think if she could see me now. She isn’t answering my texts, but still, I can’t do something like that to her. I know what it feels like to have your heart ripped apart. I shake my head and look up at Jessica. “I better not. I have to go home and get some sleep so I can come back here first thing tomorrow.”
That smile is still on her face. “Your loss, Abrams. You’re addicted.”
I chuckle. If only she knows how right she is.
