I've gotta admit, I'm about as happy with this as she is, I don't appreciate being set up like this and I think I can handle my own business, you know? Besides, it's not like I can just show up at her hotel room at midnight anymore, she's not exactly around all that much.
Apparently, supposed good friends felt that we needed a push.. and just you wait, Colt, you'll get yours in due time. But you'll never see it coming.
Still, I think I'm taking this easier than she is, I can already see the wall going up, that one that she claims isn't there anymore, but it's there.. I know it's there, I can see it. Crazy, huh? Or maybe not so crazy because I know her. She doesn't want to admit it all the time, but I know her and she knows me.
I get what she's thinking and she somehow follows my crazy train of thought.
And I think I know her enough to say, it scares her.
And I can't blame her, for being scared.
I just wonder if she realizes she doesn't have to be afraid of me.
“Look, I know this isn't an ideal situation here and if you don't want to say anything, then don't.. but we might as well make the most of it.”
She eyes me skeptically for a moment.. we're stuck in rush hour traffic, bumper to bumper, the air conditioning in this car is crap-- another reason to kick Colt's ass later; and well, there's this issue between the two of us that's apparently as thick as a brick wall.
I shrug and eye the radio and my ESP must be firing on all synapses today because immediately I see her grin.
Sure, maybe this isn't the most ideal situation and sure, we have a hell of a lot to talk about but for now we'll just make the best of it.
