Backword and Forward

Lawls

I didn't know what to do...
So I just figured I'd turn around and run in the other direction..
Just like I had done my entire life..
I just reached for my bike the first chance I got for everything..
++++++++++++++++++++++*****+
Connor
She ran..
And I just stood there..
Gawking after her..
25 mins later
I pulled up next to a fancy Ferrari..
I went to Eric's house for these special moments in my life..
"Hey Eric?"
"Hey man!"
That was always Eric's greeting when I entered his house..
His palacial grounds more like..
We sat at the nearest couch and started talking..
But I seriously wanted to get first things first...
"Have you ever seen a girl who stood out?"
"Blunt answer?"
"Yeup.. I wouldn't want any cover ups other times as well?" I raised my eyebrow..
He smirked mysteriously and replied..
"You can't tell while fuckin'"
I sucker punched him..
++++++++++++++++******++++++
Tess
I was serious, this one time, I wanted an answer, I deserved one..
I went behind him, I basically asked for everything he gave me..
I went home..
That's the only place I wanted to go..
Nowhere else.
I sizzled in, embracing the serenity fervently..
Mum was still at work..
Oops..
Lemme be a good girl and study a bit.
So I unslung my backpack and started toiling at my portions of poison...

Connor
"Well, you can't say the same about Tess.."
"Really?" Eric was scowling as he pressed an ice pack against a swollen eye..
It had been friendly banter...to me..
It was taking sheer will not to laugh at him while toppling over..
"How sure are you, on a scale of one to ten?"
"Ten.."
"Ahhhhh.. You my man, have fallen for her.."
"Her? Pfffft.. That's totally why we kept together like glue..".
I narrowed my eyes at him..
"She's a taste of reality Eric, not like your flings, who're so full of fantasy and this and that, there's no time for differentiation..."
"Mate, I say you wash it off and leave it in the 'no strings attched'.."
"Wow, disregard her as a human being I say..You don't understand.."
"You're already acting like a pussy!"
"Was it a bad thing to confront you?"
He softened.. Making me bristle..
"Naw, it's just you fuck and you forget, never pegged you as a type for not even one session of THAT but still hanging out.."
"Mate, I just.. She's different.."
"I wouldn't know, you've come to the wrong guy.."
"She's.. Alright lemme explain alright?"
"Hit me."
I breathed in deeply before replying..
"She-she's like a-"
"Don't spurt out some song worthy bullshit about how she's as bright as the sun and fresh as the grass on a summer day.. Like she's your escape like a car, or when she's music to your ears who'll give you a listen.. I'm not buying that."
I was appalled..
"That is NOT my style..".
"Well.."
"Waiiit.."
I narrowed my eyes again..
"Did you just...?"
I widened them in shock..
"This is how chicks fall mate.. Like. Dominos.." He winked..
I rolled my eyes before continuing...
"Well.. What I was trying to say was, she's my fresh case of reality, like salt of the ocean sprayed into my eyes.."
"Woah, you need a whole lesson on how to be romantic.."
"Whatever, she doesn't lead me on, she's cut throat, straight to the point, domineering with a capital D, and extremely happy go lucky- broody version.."
"Hold up, all I heard was capital D *winks* and what's up with broody?"
"She often keeps to herself and wears black all the time, she looks pretty hot when she does that kinda thing.."
"That's pretty true I guess, I've never seen her wear colour man.."
"Mhm.. Wait, why does it feel like we're girls, gushing over our man? See, SEE this is what Tess WON'T be doing.. You get my point?"
Eric's forehead creased before straightening like he was about to yell Eureka any minute now..
"I think I got it.."
