it how the breeze felt on my skin. Welcoming center, cafeteria, student lounge and around the corner, the courtyard. I took a deep breath and turned the corner confidently my eyes flew to the fountain and there my jaw dropped. I stopped dead in my tracks as I saw Freddie, and who was with him.
The same blonde, busty and all was standing there with Freddie, holding her books. She was smiling and Freddie just looked outright nervous. Probably because he knew I'd show up there any second, and he didn't want me to find out. My heart sank for actually letting myself trust him. Giving him a second chance was too much! Being caught with another girl TWICE??? This was too much for me. I turned around to go, but it was too late. Freddie had already seen me.
He called across the courtyard to me, but I kept walking. Tears rolled down my face, threatening to give away my hardcore exterior. What kind of a person did that? Pretended to be good, and then meet up with 'the other girl' at the exact same place that he was using to reconcile with? This guy was jacked up.
Suddenly, I felt a hand on mine and Freddie whirled me around to look at him.
"Leave me alone!" I hissed, furious that he even dared to touch me!
"Arianne, what's wrong?" Wow. Good acting skills. He really sounded like he actually cared that my eyes were getting puffy and, OH GOOD LORD! I yanked my hand out of his.
"Don't ever touch me again." I seethed and turned away again. I had taken about two steps when Freddie put his hands around my waist, this time holding tighter so I couldn't get away. He turned me around gently. "Don't cry, please. Tell me what's wrong?"
Freddie's hands on my waist felt way too good for the moment. I tried wiggling free but he just pulled me closer. Thank God there weren't really people around right now. This would be beyond embarrassing. "You're what's wrong." I spat at him. He looked absolutely stunned. Oh come on! "The blonde, AGAIN!?" Freddie's face literally turned green. He put one of his hands over his face and I could see him muttering something under his breath. This time when I jerked free of his hold, he let me go. Without another word I glared at him and ran the rest of the way to my dorm. My heart had been broken twice in a week by the exact same freak. How could I ever trust any man again?
Freddie
"Hey, thanks for meeting me here." I smiled politely at that retarted blonde who had caused so much trouble for me.
"No problem. And, I'm really sorry about last Saturday morning I was so wasted, it totally wasn't me." "Yes, that's exactly why I needed to talk to you." I stated and saw her perk up. No, you crazy woman I don't want to make out some more!
"I need to you explain that to this girl I this girl I like. She was supposed to meet me and saw you there and...well you can guess. She really, really got the wrong impression."
"Oh" The blonde whispered gently. Her face showed nothing less than regret. "I'm so sorry; of course, I'll do whatever I can. I feel so bad."
"Thank you so much!" I was so relieved that she didn't just blow me off. It hadn't been that hard to find her with secret service around, finding people was one of their many specialties. "She'll be here any minute."
"Okay!" She grinned and nodded mutely. Why was she so happy about that? Whatever. I was starting to get nervous for some reason. My forehead showed drops of sweat and I was tapping my foot and twiddling my thumbs at the same time.
"Are you okay?" She suddenly piped up. "I'm so nervous." I grinned at her.
"Dang. Do you really like her more then something to just screw around with?"
I looked at her and nodded fervently. "She's all that I think about. Her being gorgeous doesn't even come close to all the things that I really love about her." I hoped I gave her the impression that I was in no way up for grabs the last thing I needed was her flirting with me when Arianne was due
