"So, I think it would be fun." She told me, tucking an unruly lock behind an ear. Her eyes gazed at me expectantly, and I looked away to the screen in front of her.
"It would be nice to get out and do some hiking," I conceded. "Especially with the ocean right there."
"Great! I'll be right back." she said, sliding down from her seat upon the table. I watched as she slowly made her way to the restroom across the room. The sway of her hips was almost hypnotic, especially with how her dress flared slightly at the bottom. It would have been daringly short if not for the tights she wore underneath, and the black heeled boots she wore just added that much more emphasis to her legs.
A flicker on the screen caught my attention, and her Facebook page popped up on it's own accord. One wall entry caught my notice, though it was dated some months ago. She's single. And apparently, her ex turned out to be gay. She thinks it's because of her, but going by how she looks and her bright personality, I don't see that as even remotely possible.
"She really likes you. I can tell."
He was a gangly looking fellow in cargo shorts and a t-shirt. As he came up to me, he made a gesture towards the restroom and gave me a very earnest look.
"She's been through some rough times, but she's the real thing. She's a good friend too, so don't break her heart. You get me?"
His tone held more concern for her than any threat or warning towards me. Still, I couldn't believe it.
"I know it. But she doesn't feel that way about me. I'm just a friend, nothing more."
"Sure you are. Just take care of her, okay?" And after clapping his hand on my shoulder, he walked off. Just as she had returned.
I must have given her a funny look as she regained her place on the edge of the table, crossing her legs before me.
"What?" She asked. I pulled my eyes away from hers, clicking the map open again on her laptop.
"It's nothing." I replied. Nothing at all.
