every day hoping I can forget it but
every day you come in and drill it into my mind again.”
“You have got to face
the truth buddy. Out of the two of us this is just another example that I
am the lasting impression and you are the other guy. Don’t feel bad pal.
Nothing wrong with being the other guy. Like I’m a superhero and
you’re my sidekick. Like Batman and Robin. You don’t hear about the
boy wonder by himself. They know Batman just fine--but no one just
remembers Robin. It’s Batman and the boy wonder or just Batman.
But if it's any consolation, you make a really cool Robin.”
It was obvious Nick
wasn’t going to let him get his goat.
“Ok man, enough is
enough. We could spend all day sitting here talking, or in your case whining
most likely, about how she didn’t remember you but I have got to eat first so
your puppy love is just going to have to wait.”
“Now that’s a bit much
Aaron. I was just happy to see her again. I barely even know her.
It’s ludicrous to say I’m in love with her.”
“Well love or a big
crush, from where I was sitting and what I know, it all looks the same to me
when it comes to you and her. You have always had a big thing for her and
it hasn’t changed from what I see.”
“Aaron, could you just
order your food? I’m not even hungry anymore. I’m just taking a coffee.”
“Fine. Let me get
the waitress’s attention.”
As Aaron went about
putting his order in with the waitress, Nick spent his time thinking back to
the unlikely encounter he had experienced less than ten minutes ago. In
spite of everything else he was really glad that she was back. He
just hoped that he would have the chance to see her again without having to
stalk the diner from across the street. Although he felt prepared to do it if he needed to.
As the waitress got
ready to walk off and put in Aaron’s order, Nick stopped her and added more for
himself besides a coffee. Moments earlier his stomach had begun to
grumble and he immediately had second thoughts on not getting anything for himself
to eat. He had a lot of work to do that day and he had a feeling that it
was going to be hard enough concentrating if she penetrated his thoughts
throughout the day like she was doing then. The last thing he needed was
a growling belly or hunger migraine to slow him down.
After his order was placed, he sat talking to his
friend but his mind still floated back over and over to the most beautiful
woman he had seen in Stanton Falls since...well since the last time he had seen
her.
