Life is Elsewhere; Dmitri, Chapter 4

“So what did you think of all that?” Kim twisted around in the swing to face me. We ended up wandering into a local playground after leaving McDonald’s.

After touching Finn, I felt myself blushing brightly. I had to get out of there before I started stuttering, which would make me cry of embarrassment and then I’d be even more freaked out and it would just snowball out of control. I hurriedly made my way to the bathroom after excusing myself.

You could just leave, I told myself. I had been sitting in front of the house for a while, but the pounding in my head had yet to stop. It was just too loud.

“So, what do you want to drink?” Finn asked as we squeezed into the kitchen.

“What is there?” I asked, trying to avoid getting a glimpse of…whatever it was they were doing in that corner, or that one, or on that bench.

“Looks like all they have is beer, punch and water,” Finn turned back to me and opened a can of beer for himself, “What’ll it be?”

So this was the girl Finn was falling head over heels for. Interesting. I never would’ve guessed, because, to me, this Delilah didn’t seem like Finn’s type. Despite her outfit, she gave off an air of innocence. Maybe it was the long blonde hair, maybe it was her large, green eyes. Eyes are the window to the soul right? Her soul screamed innocence. Something I didn’t think Finn would be attracted to. But hey, to each his own. And who knows, perhaps this girl could surprise me.

I laughed with Finn as we finished painting my room. Well, as I finished painting while he held my stuff so I could reach the ceiling. Now every part of me is on these walls.

Finn decided to pass up on the offer for me to show him their awesomeness.

After I got off the ladder, he started talking nervously.

“So,” He mumbled, “There’s this party tonight…”

I leaned against the counter of the bookstore. My fingers tapped an indiscernible rhythm against the wood as my mind wandered. I broke out of my reverie when Peter called out from the other side of the store.

“Dmitri! Did you finish inventory?”

“Yes! It’s on your desk!” I yelled back, before muttering, “Where I leave it each week.”

Light laughter followed my comment as Kim, my fellow employee, approached the counter. “You know he only does that to annoy you, right?”
