Her head spun in circles as she sat up in an unfamilar room. She groaned as last ngiht events flooded back to her mind, givning her a massive headach.
Another one night stand she thouht. How could this have happened? She promised herself that she would stopping doing this knowing the risks, but she was just so stupid.
She flopped back on the bed when she noticed someone was sleeping beside she. She looked at the man, his wavy red gair covered a freckeled face that had a friendly look to it. HE was much bettter looking than most of her pick-ups.
And certainly tightier. The room was a apartment all in one. A small kitchennet stood to one side, the bed placed closest to the widow over looking the hudson river on the new york side. It was actully a good score. She wasnt in a rush like sh enoramlly would eb with her other druken rades. Normally she would run out the door before she would rememeber, but this one- this one was diffrent. She liked the looks of this boy- no he didn't look like a childish boy but a man that could actully take on his problems and carry his own wheight.
She smiled, it was like back in high school when the world was so innocent, to fall in love a t first site.
The man beside her stirred and turned to face her- he didn't wake- he didn't snore- he breatherd quietly and softly. She lent down curious if he smelled like barf and alchol. SHe pulled back shock to smell a light fragrance of lavander and pepermint- a strang sent on a boy, she thought, but he seemed trustworthy so she stuck around until he awoke at noon.
He Starred at her like she had 6 eyes. He sat stunned for what seemed like hours.
What? she asked, she touched her face just to make sure she hadn't grown some extra eyes during the night.
Your- your so beautiful! he spoke so forward to her, the girl inched away a bit.
OH! I'm so sorry! exclaimed the man Before you fell asleep you asked me to remind you what my name is!
Uh.. Ok SHe had not antisapated this turn of events, he seemed so happy and joyous
I'm Than, I just recently came to america so i could study art! He seemed so excited to express all his feelings tword her.
Ah, from Ireland? she felt sorta stupid, becaus she already knew the answer.
No he laughed, his vioces ecohing in the small room I'm from iceland, it might seem that way huh?
Ya, the girl noticed that she was sleeping on a pad that protected her form the cold wooed floor.
But your name? Iqured Than You never told me your name
You slept with me with out even knowing my name? she gasped I atleast know the name before i sleep with a complete stranger!
Looked seeplishly down into his hands Is that bad?
I could be some mass murder or something!
Nah, your to nice for that!
What are you talking about? the girls remembered the time she actully stole a lollypopo from a childs mouth, she wasn't nice at all.
YOur name? Than pushed again
Um... Ah... The girl fummbled for words his spakleing eyes starring gleeflly into hers. Cain. she wispered so quietly it was barly audible.
Than starred deeply into her soon she had to look away and preacubied herself with something else, like the loose string on the blanket.
Cain? Than fianally spoke, it sounded as if he was testing the words in his mouth alein to his tounge. it's pretty.
Cain stopped and thought tha no guy- no one- not even her own drunken parent s had ever said her name was pretty.
I better get dressed. keeping her head down Cain collected her scattered cloths and started clumsly putting them on. Damn! Cain felt the sheet slipp from her back on the floor. She knew Than was starring dumbstruck at her scarred back, many treatments from both her father and mother and every other person they dragged into their house on late nights. Pulling the sheet back over herself Cain continued to get dressed ignoring the shuffling behind her. She felt a tug at the sheet, Oy! she jumped when she felt Than's calloused fingers on her back. What again!? she thought Wasn't last night good enough?? Then she noticed he was tracing the scars, over & over again. He made no attempt to force himself on to her, he just traced the scars again and again. It felt as if slowly he was earsing the memories the memories so painfully carved into her damaged mind.
Sorry. he mummbled and stepped away
Sorry for what? Cain scoffed. You didn't cause them!
I know but... Than continued.
Cain was fully dressed now and faced Than. You're a good person, go home and find yourself a good wife get the hell out of this screwed up place they call "america" I'm not the worst of them, trst me their are more scarred and screwed up people than me, you don't need to taint your mind any longer. She brushed a finger against his cheek holding his lovly gaze for a few more second til rushing out the door.
When Cain didn't hear him chaing after he she felt both releved and depressed. He was a good catch once in a life time type of guy but she could love him because for her it hurt to be cared for to be wanted. To be outcasted for her whole life this sudden love felt strange and inhuman as it warmed her bossum.
Cain ducked into a underground bar out of the many in New York and ordered a beer. The beer ussaly gave Cain the staisfation of forgetting all her sorriful memories but today they all flodded back, to familar to crule to what her childhood nd adolence had been. Now her adultood was slowly withering away.
Cain starred at the bottle than passed it to a Bussness man that loked in the dire need to get drunk.
Once more she walked out into the crowed streets and saw Than , looking at every face that passed she giggled as she tapped him on his back.
His face was flushed with joy when he saw her. Slipping his hand around her waist he lead her away to place hopefully better than every where else she's been in her wasted life.
But now, she thought admiring his strong face, I'll be sure not to do that!
