“You’re a great friend,” Christina says, beaming as she gets her way, while I’m going to be left looking like a total dickhead in front of Sylar.
Again.
Him not coming into the café yesterday spoke volumes. He’s not interested, and to be honest, he never gave me any indication that he was. I don’t know why I feel a little down about it, but I do. I have horrible taste in men, always have, and probably always will, and it’s probably for the best that he stops coming into the café. I don’t need to look forward to seeing anyone every day, and I sure as hell don’t need to be intrigued by a man who looks like he plays a villain in his spare time. As we approach the house, I exhale in relief as I don’t see the men out the front. Maybe I’ll catch a lucky break this time, and won’t have to see either of them.
“That’s the house,” I tell her hesitantly, nodding further up to the right.
“I have a plan,” she says, glancing down at me. “It involves you hiding in the bushes.”
I do a double take of my best friend, not sure that I heard her words right. “Wait, what? What are you going to do exactly?”
The sad part is, I don’t think I’m opposed to hiding in the bushes. As long as they never see me, I’m good to go. And I’m still being a great partner in crime by being here. It’s a win-win situation.
“I’m going to go knock on his door, and then act surprised when I see him,” she says, glancing down the street and back. She looks down at her boobs and cups them, pulling her bra up, making them look nice. “These two need to look perfect in case he answers the door.”
“And why are you going to say you’re at his door?” I ask, hoping her plan has more substance to it than that.
Her brow furrows in thought. “I’ll tell him I’m looking for my cat or something.”
I blink a few times. “You don’t have a cat. In fact, you don’t even like cats.”
“He doesn’t know that,” she says, and points to a large bush across from his house. “You and Snoop should hide there.”
“Are you sure this is the best plan of action?” I ask her, picking up Snoop and stopping in my tracks. “I really don’t want Sylar to see me at his house again.”
He’ll probably think I’ve turned into a stalker or something. Great, just what I need. And knowing Christina, this plan is going to be an epic fail anyway. She doesn’t get embarrassed, and will play any situation off. I, on the other hand, would rather not have to explain to Sylar why I’m in the bushes near his house. However, the sooner we do this, the sooner we can leave.
And I want to leave.
“No one will see you,” she promises, patting Snoop’s head. “I’ve got this.”
“You’ve also got no shame,” I tell her.
She nods. “I know. This dating world is rough though, so it’s time for drastic measures. Why take my number and then not call? He’s practically asking for this.”
I sigh and point to the bush. “I’ll be behind there.”
As I lower myself to the grass and make sure all of me is hidden behind the bush, I wonder if this is the lowest point in my life.
Sadly, probably not.
