THE GAY BARTENDER

Chapter fifty one

I got out of my car and delayed my walk to the back door. Laura was sitting on a crate beside the dumpster with a pile of cigarette butts beside her . she also had a pack of menthos on her lap.

"Are you done?" She asked when I got to the door and I pulled my keys .

I ignored her and unlocked the door so I could grab my apron.

"He saved your life ."

I whipped around to face her .

"I don't care."

"Maya" she stepped closer. I turned around to walk away but she got in front of me.

"Leave me alone." I tried to push past her but she was not letting it happen.

"No."

"Why do you care so much." I asked .

"He didn't hesitate. The second he saw me running into his house crying he was on his feet , ready to come to you and save you. If it wasn't for him you would be dead. Do you get it. She snapped her fingers to my face D-e-a-d." I moved around her.

"You loved him." She said

I stopped halfway to the lobby.

I could feel tears streaming down my cheeks, blurring my vision.I had to keep my back turned , she couldn't see my cry . I had already made a fool of myself countless times over him.
