"Yeah Teagan and I caught a fes Re, Norent to last year?"
Teagan laughs "Oh, yeah Cillian and Maeve got so hae or so I swear it was Russian, which neither one of the some of the same words over and over so half the time it sounded realistic"
They both launch into memories of that trip but acid burns in ether? Is that how they spent their free ti like rabbits?
I can't help my jealous reaction I know that was in the past, and I know Cillian is with me now At least, I think he is I mean, we haven't uttered forether, so this feels like a relationship
But then a s will this last? Cillian will start traveling again; he'll probably be working long hours when they get back in the studio to record Will there be room for me then? And really can I be a part of that lifestyle? While I like to go out on occasion and tie one on, I'reat night is sitting in front of a TV and watching an old
I' to feel a lameness that hadn't occurred towhat do Cillian and I have in co comes readily to mind and that bums me out in a major way
Cady and Teagan don't seem to have noticed that I've dropped out of the conversation They eventually start talking about Teagan's latest sex-capades and I try to follow along I nurse at hts
Eventually, Cillian and the band et to our table, Cillian introduceshello Cillian takes the seat next to me, and it causes my stomach to churn when Maeve takes the one next to him It takes all of two seconds for Sean to order rounds of Tullemore for everyone to pound, but I decline and so does Cillian I note that he doesn't see alcohol down everyone's throats with Maeve so recently out of her failed attempt at rehab
Cillian sits next tomy shoulder every now and then But he's in his elehter and jokes don't include ood behavior and I' a bottle of water The entire conversation consists of stories of their tiether on tour, or parties they went to after, or crazy fan happenings It's like another world to me
Partly to take a break, and partly because I really have to pee, I stand fro myself for the restroom When I finish my business and co at the sink Her hip is resting against it and she's casually picking at her nails when I open the door to step out
I blink once at her and offer a smile "Hey, Maeve"
She doesn't return it and the intense stare she givesthat I've just entered judgment day
"I don't like you," she starts without preaood for Cillian"
Shocked wouldn't even being to describeI sort of expected her to be distant, iven the circumstances of our first run in at Cillian's apartht out with so so vile
"I don't knohat to say to that," I tell her quietly
"You don't have to say anything It wasn'tCillian up You ht now, but when it's all said and done, you don't fit into his world I do And I alill We have history together that you could never even hope to understand And you certainly can't compete with it"
Okay, now I' for me to have these doubts, but it's another for e my relationship with Cillian I won't roll over that easy
Still, it's with a calm voice that I tell her, "Look, Maeve I don't knohat your major malfunction is, and I don't really care Your issues are your own and don't have a daree not to like each other and be done with it"
She surprises h, when I half expected her to sirl Oh, and if you're thinking to tell Cillian about this little exchange, I wouldn't if I were you There's nothing he hatesover him That will cause him to turn tail and run quickly"
She turns to leave the bathrooo ahead and tell him It'll pave the way a lot faster for me to move back in"
I stand at the sink for a ain The adrenaline rush I felt over her words starts to ebb and all of a sudden, I just feel tired
When Ithat Maeve has her chair pulled close to Cillian's, although I get a s her Bending down near his ear opposite of Maeve, I whisper, "I' to head home"
He looks disappointed as I'd expected and stands frowe could just hang with the band for a bit tonight"
"I'ood night's sleep But, please stay and hang with your friends I want you to"
He looks unsure as he glances back at the table, the lot of the home by yourself"
