POV Kai's

      Furious with anger I shot Lloyd the evil eye. My stance was sturdy like a brick walls. In contrary, it was also weightless and thin like a black feather floating off a seagull hovering above all of us.

"Kiss me", Lloyd had a hitch in his breath as he grabbed my waist and pulled me near him.

Dulled by arguments I just stared at him with a layer of firm regret as soon as I let my lips graze upon his. I didn't stop Lloyd from biting my bottom lip and lightly sucking on it. My body floated on the cool tile flooring and I closed my eyes for I felt as if I were in the serine blue ocean of the Caribbean.

"I love you, Kai", he pressed his forehead up against mine and smiled.

Gulping as I spoke, I pushed out the words, "and if I felt the same I'd pull you closer right now and pin you against the wall, never letting our lips pull apart, frowned upon it all I don't love you back, Lloyd, I don't love you", my voice was raspy and hoarse with regret, at the same time it was happy and flourishing with life.

Lloyd's baby soft face turned a soft peachy red and his hands slipped out of mine. Guilt overtook my sulking body and lifted me off of Lloyd, pulling me towards the door. Something stopped me before exiting and I felt urged to tell Lloyd everything I was thinking about.

"That doesn't mean I don't like you and wouldn't want to go on a nice coffee date, having said that meet me at the dairy on this street and if I haven't found a cuter girl then maybe I'll show up", lips were chapped and eyebrows curved down in a somber mood.

Lloyd bit his lip and smirked, "it's a date then".

A knife was being thrown at my heart repeatedly, it felt as if, and nothing could stop it. Gravity pushed my body out the door and strapped my feet down to the gray felt carpet.

Everyone passed me on the street as I walked calmly to the corner pub, prepared with a green debit card and hundreds of cloth bills that meant oh so much to humans.

Sure I was aware of what I was doing, but that did not ever stop me before, so it wasn't ever going to now.

The walls I spent years repairing and building started falling down on top of my badly broken back. Searching, my eyes rolled up and down the dirty pub. I spotted a seat up at the bar and smoothly grabbed it.

"Um.... uh.... a beer?", I asked the younger looking bartender.

"Confused? You can talk to me, that's what we bartenders are for right?", she laughed and handed me the freshly poured beer.

I laughed softly and replied with, "relationship issues.... I guess more life issues and bartenders are more then just people to rant to actually they're meant to pour your drinks", I left her with my witty punchline.
