Ocean Eyes

Chapter Seven

Working in a restro bar can be so much fun. I loved my job. There were so many people here --> happy, sad, small, big, tall, short, gay and straight and they had no care in the world for this short while at least. they came here to relax and have a jolly good time at that. It was so intriguing watching all these people gathered under one roof socialize and this was also the only time of the day when i could be me. Totally free, happy and loving every moment of life. I also quite liked the idea of talking to people who i did not know and having a heart-to-heart with them and plus there was the bonus of getting free tequila whenever needed. When life blogged my mind tequila is the only thing that would keep me sane enough. I was serving a group at the right when a customer called me,

"A beer and a margarita, please." He called and i chuckled. Margarita indeed.

I poured the drinks and went to their seats.

"Sir." I said and when the guy turned i all but dropped dead.

"Theia." It was Ethan! Oh my god, it was him and he was just as shocked to see me here.

What was it with me and meeting Ethan everywhere.

Fate, karma .. what? Wherever i went these days he would be there.

But that was rather ... cute, i liked being with him, he was so fun to be with.

"Hi." I said in a surprised voice and then i saw the girl beside me and my humour vanished.

Okay so as far as descriptions went i could say she was a man's fantasy. Tall, curvy and pouting. And of course beautiful.

"You know her?" she asked Ethan and he nodded.

"Yeah Melissa thats Theia, Theia Melissa." He introduced and i smiled at her and she returned it but after that there was an awkward silence.

"Hey theia." I heard a shout and whirled around to see Aidan waving.

God, i so owe him one for saving me.

"Seven beers." He said and i nodded.

"Coming." i shouted loudly so that he could hear me over the music and delicate Melissa flinched.

"Oops." I was never the one to say sorry.

I handed Ethan his drinks and then moved back behind the bar.

The crowd was increasing like crazy and i was at my toes all the time.

"Do you need help?" Aidan asked me, he worked here at lunch and was helping today cause of the weekend. I nodded thankfully at him.

"Thanks." i said and Aidan winked.

Since i was sharing the work now my mind roamed everywhere and hopelessly i noticed my eyes going back to Ethan's seat for the thousanth time today and i dont know why i did that, but i glanced at them like every minute and whenever i saw them laughing or getting all cozy there would be this sick feeling in my stomach.

Everything was just such a mess right now. My life had been perfect before 'he' came into it and struck me at the head. Correction heart. and now it seemed like i had no control over anything anymore and all i could think of was him.

Which was unnervingly annoying because that had NEVER happened to me before and i didn't want it to now too.

But i couldn't help realizing that just how unsuited they both were.

Ethan was alive and bubbly and carefree and he had a positive approach to everything where as Melissa was so cranky and complaining, she had already complained about 'the low quality' 'the drink is just not correct' Ha. Its a freaking margarita and 'the place is so noisy' and blah. blah.blah >>

I was still staring at them sadly when Ethan looked right at me, i couldn't even break the stare cause of my surprise and then he winked at me. I smiled.

I liked him. A lot.

And i didn't like the fact that he was sitting with another girl.

Not one bit.

My shift was over and i was in a very. VERY sour mood. Now i changed into a jeans and a hoodie and started making my way out.

"Theia." Ethan stopped me.

Oh hell no.

"Yeah?" I asked him, i saw the irritated look at Melissa's face.

"Do you want to ride home with us?" He asked me and i gaped at him.

Wait, what?

"Um. im not going home right now." i said lamely.

"Where are you going then?" he asked me.

"To the restroom." I said. Now that was just the place to go.

"You guys go ahead." I said and then dashed to the washroom. What was wrong with me anyway?

As i walked in thoughts of them whirled my mind. Why was i feeling like this where he was concerned? Why couldn't i just see him with another girl? Why was he on my mind all the time? Why did i like the way he smiled? Why had i compared Aidan with Ethan? Why did i just couldn't face him when he was with Melissa? Why did i hate Melissa? Why did i want to be there with him? Why was i behaving like a lunatic?

WHY?
