Marli’s pov 18

Recap :

My eyes scanned the dance floor and for a second I thought I could see the green shiny material of Marinas dress before it disappeared in the sea of dancers. A soft warm wind blew across the garden and I felt the distinct presence of him near to me. The silent humming of his mysterious power that seemed to electrify the air made me smile to myself as I sat on my own in the candlelight.

Why do people always ask you to make promises that are so hard to keep?

……………………………………………………………………………………….

I stood at the buffet, staring at the plate of food in my hands.

Salad, a serving of tomato pasta, coleslaw, and a barbequed chicken leg. 

Damn … Marli you know working on auto pilot never ends well….

I don’t even like chicken leg , or coleslaw. In fact, I hate coleslaw.

I couldn’t even really remember picking them up or drifting away from the table I’d sat at and walking to the buffet, I’d been so lost in my thoughts.

I had sat there, frozen, feeling the electrifying current that hummed through the air, the exquisite calling card I’d come to associate with Trey.

He was near

Somewhere.

I remember sitting, looking out onto the dance floor, scanning the moving forms for Marina’s green shiny dress and Jenny’s short light blue one. All the while hoping to see a figure, clad all in black, with broad shoulders and a smile that made my stomach muscles tense in delight.

Nothing.

I can remember thinking that maybe it would be easier to avoid Trey and the IT group than I had thought. That maybe Marina and Jenny would give up after our run in at school and what I said in the living room – in front of all of them. I’d known Marina and Jenny my whole life; Marina hated not having the last word. That coupled with Jenny’s quiet stubbornness made thought of them simply letting me off the hook ridiculous. At some point I would have to face them again, when they were willing to talk honestly, and not before. I knew, despite my dread of confronting them, I needed to figure out what the hell went on between us. Even if it did mean dredging up the sharp, intense pain of loosing your two best friends… I felt my breath catch as I remembered how bewildered and hurt I’d been when they suddenly blocked me out of their lives that day.

Then I’d felt the enticing humming in the air intensify; seeming infinitely heavier around making and me my thoughts scatter. The electric current filled my senses, running over my skin and awakening what felt like every sensory nerve in my body. I could feel the familiar longing in the pit of my stomach unfurling like a match; sparked and lit.

Shit.

I take back even considering this would be easy.

The thought of staying away from Trey and the feeling I get when he’s near, would be as agonizingly difficult as trying to keep your thumbs apart when you clasp your fingers together.
