Who: Heather, Open! When: During Sam's birthday party. Where: Buono Gusto What: She'd had full intention on going, really she had. But then she saw the blond girl she'd argued with was going to be there. And rather than risk a confrontation, a trip to the unused Italian restaurant seemed like a better choice. Rating: Low for now. Status: Incomplete
Oh she was drunk, good and drunk. Maybe coming here alone had been a bad idea.
She'd been through a fifth of whiskey already, and she had only slowed down a little bit. She was working on a bottle of tequila. Inhibitions were out the window.
She'd bought a party dress, it was blue and brought out the clarity of her eyes, and made her boobs look great! Or so she'd thought. Not that she was trying to impress anyone, she'd simply wanted to feel pretty, over boyish. It was a retro dress with a modern twist, it was a halter rather than a sleeved dress-giving the girls a good lift. Where the bodice clung to her, the skirt flared out from her waist giving it almost a poodle skirt look. Set with a pair of sensible heals, a touch of make up, and her hair done up, she had to say she looked pretty darn cute. Even if she'd been the only one to see it.
The front door to the restaurant was propped just wide enough for a chair to fit between the jam and thick oak. Candle light flickered in the space left open. As did her soft slightly slurred voice...
"I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call It's just another call from home And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
And I'll be begging you, baby, beg you not to leave But I'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve Oh, for the next time we'll be here Seems like a million years and I think I'm dying What do I have to do to make you see she can't love you like me?
Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need? When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah
You keep telling me, baby there will come a time When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine But I don't think that's the truth And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting It's too much pain to have to bear to love a man you have to share
Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need? When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay?
I can't take it any longer but my will is getting stronger And I think I know just what I have to do I can't waste another minute after all that I've put in it I've given you my best, why does she get the best of you? So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine
Why don't you stay? I'm up off my knees I'm so tired of being lonely, you can't give me what I need When she begs you not to go, there is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah, oh"
If anyone stepped in, they would see that Heather had a headset plugged into her cell phone. She lay across one of the tables, her hair dangling off one edge while her feet swung below. One empty bottle laying on it's side on the booth, a half full sitting upright beside her.
