I suppose that it was bound to happen. We don't exactly live that far apart and are so used to frequenting the usual places. Still ahead of the deadlines for work and school, I am ahead of one particular area by a landslide, I wanted to grab a little take out before heading home. The best japanese restaurant in the city, in my opinion, is about ten minutes from my place. The night had not truly begun at the time and I made sure to call in my order before I even left the office. Little did I know how thankful I would be for that later. The place was mostly empty when I got there. Greeting Mr. Tsu's daughters and his niece before the large brown bag was placed into my hands; I was happy to see that the Tsu's were alright and that the business was still doing well. During the tough times it is only his wife and her sister that take serve the seated area while he works the front end. As I pulled out my form of payment for the meal I heard the door jingle behind me. I did not look but I felt at least two pairs of eyes on me from different angles. Jade gave me a very soft look as she took my debit card. Looks like that from her were always hard to decipher,but, I could gather that the customer behind me was someone that she thought I knew. Mr. Tsu had walked towards the kitchen area and before I saw him returning, I heard his greeting of the people behind me.
"Ahh Music. Long time no see! How have you been?"
Great! i did not say anything. I did not move. I patiently waited for Jade to hand me the receipt to sign, the receipt to keep, and my slim sliver of plastic. The slender black pen that she handed me was cool between my fingers. In a quick smooth flow my signature was on the white piece of paper. There was a party of three at least, including Music. I ignored everything but the task at hand as they were seated. After giving a warm smile to the young lady in front of me and wishing her a good afternoon, I turned to leave. Right there less than two inches from me was Music. Had he quietly walked out of the seating area just to see me? Or something? It really did not matter because I had nothing to say. With a cool smile and a nod of my head in his direction I walked out of the building. He walked out after me.
"Silver."
I kept walking. I was not going to fight, I was not going to cry, and I was not going to let a very good day be ruined by one person. So I never stopped and I never turned around.
"Silver please. Please talk to me."
My pace quick pace slowed down a little bit. I was not about to stop walking, no matter what. I guess he still new me well. At least well enough to hurry his way towards me in the hopes that I would talk to him.
"He really misses you. So do I."
'So. I have mourned the loss of Firefly for years. He'll get over it. This relationship wasn't as good as even half an episode...'
I kept quiet. I kept quiet because I really did not believe him. I didn't believe him and I was not going to have a sucky night because someone who had not spoken to me for almost two months wanted to be in my good graces. If Film wanted to apologize, he knew where I was. He also knew where to find me. Clearing my throat lightly, I turned my face towards his general direction.
"I think everything should stay the way it is right now. I have some place to be so please excuse me."
Film's right hand found its way around my wrist and then I was suddenly facing him again. His appearance had not changed at all. His hair was still awesome, longer though. A breeze traveled past us and I counted to five in my mind before I pulled away.
"Don't. Just don't. I have nothing to say to you or him about anything."
"Silver please, I'm really sorry. I want to fix this."
"I don't want you to fix anything. I want you and Film to leave me alone. You both knew how things were before I met either of you and how much I can't stand cheaters and liars. If he wanted to break up with me, that would have been fine. I would have gotten over it. I want you both to stay away from me."
The rest of the walk was quick and quiet. Pushing the memories and concerns for the two friends that had joined the list of backstabbers that I knew; I let myself into my apartment. Tonight was mine all mine. I was going to share it with my favorite t.v. show characters and feast away on sushi, soup, and a few cookies that I brought back from the office.
