I got inside my apartment. I sighed deeply and fell on the couch.
I watched TV for a while when I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door. It was Haley.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I just want to come over.' she said, her hair falling on her face.
"C'mon in." I said.
I went to the fridge and pulled out a couple beers.
"What have you been doing?" I asked, drinking some.
"Me and Kirby kinda....."
"What?" I asked
"You know."
"Oh." Finally realizing it.
We drank beer and watched TV. We usually did this every once in a while.
It was 1:00. Kirby was asleep on my chest. I stroked her face and her hair, finally falling asleep.
I woke up as Haley got off of me. Her hair was all messy. She rubbed the sleep off her eyes.
"You're really comfortable to sleep on." she yawned.
The taste of beer is terrible in your mouth after a day.
I got up, turned off the TV and went to the kitchen.
"You want anything to eat?" I asked.
"No. Kirby must wonder where I am,"she said" Hey Noah?"
I turned. "Yeah?"
She kissed me on the cheek. "Thanks for taking care of me."
With that, she left. Her lips were still burning on my cheek. If taking care of someone is feeding them beer then I'd be well taken care of. Megan Berry. I went to the phone book and searched the book. I found the name and punched the numbers on the phone.
"Hi, is this Megan Berry?"
"Yes. May I ask who's speaking." The voice was kind and comforting.
"This is Noah Green. Did you know my father?" I asked.
"Yes." She said.
"I found this letter that says my father kissed you. Is that true?" I asked.
"Yes. Noah?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you like to meet me at my home?"
"Sure, that'd be great."
I hung up and got in my car.
It was an old Ford truck. I drove through the snow and arrived at 1234 Alderson. I got out and went up to the door.
The door opened revealing Megan Berry. She smiled.
"Come in."
I went in and took a seat.
"How long were you guys in love?" I asked.
"Love? He loved me as a friend.I loved him deeply."
So it was true. "How come I never knew you?" I asked.
"Your mother never liked me."
She smiled. "You remind me of your father so much."
I pressed questions and got what I wanted.
It was an accident. My mom thought it was real. I got in my truck and went back home. My mother was truly a demonic soul. I went into her house. I destroyed her house.
"What the Hell!" she yelled.
I fired into her skull. She crumpled over dead.
I woke up. That was a terrible dream. Sure, I hated my mother,but I wouldn't kill her. I bundled up and went to my car. I had to drive my taxi today. I got in my car. I put the keys in the ignition and turned. My old car wheezed and died.
"Crap."
I walked to work. It was terrible.
The weather whipped at my skin and froze me. I got to work and took a cab. Time to go. I drove half the day. I greeted everyone with a hello and asked them about their christmas. I drove my car back at 10:00. I wasn't walking home. Who could take me home? Haley wasn't there. Kirby.
"Hey Kirby could you take me home?" I asked.
"Fine." he said.
"You've been friends with Haley for years,huh?" he says.
"Yeah for a couple years." I say.
"Do you love her?" He asks.
Why would he ask a question just like that? What does he want?
"Well?"
"What."
"Don't start this Noah, you love her or not?"
"Whether I love her isn't the question. It's if she loves you." I grinned, I was all over him.
"Uh." he replies.
"She doesn't want to love you. She's had a rough life." I decided.
Kirby's a handsome guy I decide. He has soft eyes and a square,solid jaw like a male model.
No wonder Haley goes to his house to..... you know.
"She loves you Noah."
I was hit with a mental brick."But she wants you." I realize.
That's the problem.
"She loves your personality."
My house came up.
"Thanks for the ride."I said.
"You bet." He said.
That Kirby guy wasn't half bad. I got home and dialed Haley's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's Noah, I was wondering if you would like to go on a date."
