A Night in the D — Chapter 8
She felt panic rising. “I really do have to leave, babe. I have to.”
Tears rose in Dean’s eyes and Tina’s heart sank. No, no, no, not the crying. He caught her look of disdain and smirked. “Oh right, tears are for girls only. Boys don’t cry.”
The words hit Tina like a slap, taking her on a mental journey to last week, her own voice on the phone, in tears, begging him to cover for her. Though that wasn’t even true. He hadn’t made her beg. He had agreed right away, cooed in her ear, told her it would all be ok, to stay on the couch, make hot chocolate, “hang in there” until he got off work and could come check on her. Which he had.
She slumped into the chair, lowering her head towards the desk and exhaling loudly. This was her real life, her real friend, her real circumstances in which she might not show up for her ***** job and thus needed someone who loved her, like Dean, to make sure she didn’t lose it. And here he was, sick, coughing, with the same ***** job, and the same need not to lose it, needing the same someone to step in and love him. Which she did.
She looked up into his eyes, dark brown like Bette’s. His hair mussed by the wind, like Bette’s. Tina shook her head, watching him silently, and caved, ever so softly. With more angst than she could possibly fathom feeling, she nodded almost imperceptibly, and he, recognizing the crack in her veneer, smiled adoringly. “Oh my god, you are such a doll,” he said, tugging his hat over his ears and scooping his keys from the desk. “I promise you, sweetie. You won’t regret this.”
Tina would have bristled at the words had she not suddenly felt so numb. She continued to stare helplessly in Dean’s direction as he moved quickly whence he came, only turning at the double doors to smile warmly back at her, before coughing again, giving a quick wave, and disappearing into the winter night.
Tina shivered, feeling colder than she had all evening. With cringing disbelief, she looked down at her watch. The time registered exactly
