Lisa
– I’m glad to announce you that you’re becoming a softy
– What are you talking about Grant
Both women are having coffee in their table, the one they were seated when Claudia offered a tea box and a wonderful advice the day Lisa and Rick’s relationship changed forever.
– Don’t pretend Lisa, or at least not with me, you know exactly what I’m talking about, your knight on shiny VT
– So the rumor get you
– Lisa you are still sharing working space with the bunnies, obviously the whole base knows it
– Sad but true, but what do you want me to say Claudia, it’s hard to me saying no to Rick
– By the way, at what time do you ran away today
– FYI I didn’t run
– He tied you to the bed, how kinky
– Claudia you need a boyfriend
– I don’t need one, thank you very much, but you didn’t expend the night together
– At my place
– ¿your place?
– Yes my place, sharing my bed and my shower
– He slept with you at home and showered together, Lisa it is official you are a couple
– Hold your horses, he didn’t say anything
– Why are you so pessimist
– I’m realistic
– Realistic my ass, you are scare to death of what you have and prefer to pretend there’s nothing
– You are right I’m scare to death of asking what are we and obtain as an answer that we are just having a good time while she returns into his life
– Don’t be yellow, I assure you that his answer will be different, you might be surprised
– Why he has to be so fool
– You love him that fool
– I wouldn’t comply if he were a little bit brighter
– Well you can have everything, besides I believe that if you give him a chance soon we’ll be hearing wedding bells.
– Claudia, I might be a pessimist but you my friend are the most optimistic person I’ve ever met.
– That’s why we are such good friends
– Well I believe is time to return to the bridge
– Yeah is almost time for Rick to returns from patrol
– Smartass
Both women walk together towards their working stations talking about nothing important, they arrive to the bridge and say good byes, Lisa enters glowing of happiness
– Any news Vanesa
– Rick hasn’t reported yet - “well everyone knows it” thinks Lisa while takes her seat
– Any other squadron
– Blue and Magenta returned a few minutes ago, nothing new to report
– Good
– Here Skull Leader requesting permission to land – she arrives just in time to direct Rick’s landing
– Permission granted Lieutenant, your landing dock will be 22
– Thanks Commander, by the way at what hour does your shift end
Immediately Lisa takes him off the open channel, but the trio laughing makes her realize that she wasn’t fast enough
– What was that
– I’m sorry, but you know how the girls are
– Don’t worry – she doesn’t know if his voice shows disappointment or indifference
– Don’t think I don’t want they…
– No really don’t worry, I just wanted to check with you at what time does your shift end to take you home
– I still have tons of paperwork and don’t think I’ll be able to finish it, I’ll be buried by papers for more or least two more hours – “liar”
– I… to be honest I’m really tired but if you want to…
– No problem Rick, I can take a cab or request someone to take me home, you know some of the benefits of being a Commander
– Are you sure???
– Positive
– Ok, talk you later
– OK Lieutenant
Lisa perfectly knows what went wrong while she seats totally defeated, turns to see Vanesa and can read the expression on her face – “I know Vanesa I’m such a looser, if God knows it so better the whole world knows it, but he didn’t do nothing about it… why I’m so afraid, I’m just going to confirm everybody I’m his bed while all know Minmei is the love of his life”.
Hours passed by, so much more than the ones she told Rick, she is trying to free her mind of any thought related with Rick and their relationship but she is unsuccessful… - “how can a little mistake can screw thing up or it was only a plain excuse to get rid of me for today, God why can I stop being a piece of ice, not even this help me” – tosses the file she was pretending to review over a pile of documents – “I believe is time to go home”.
She steps out her little office and walks lonely, all offices are closed… is more than 11 pm and she is leaving the base, she was loosing the habit, since the change in her relationship with Rick she avoided overtime as it was Khyron, she prefers to take work home and tries to work there than missing any opportunity to be with him.
– I don’t think walking home will harm me, fresh air will be nice
She decides to continue walking instead of taking a cab in the avenue, takes her Ipod and puts the earphones on, pushes play and returns the little device in the pocket of her overcoat – “admit it Hayes you are a dangerous in this feelings stuff” – the notes of a nostalgic piano starts, the song seams to be giving her an answer …
I know there’s something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You’ve built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.
Listen to your heart
When he’s calling for you
Listen to your heart
There’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
And I don’t know why,
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
“How the hell I learn to listen my heart, I’ve been ignoring to so long that know I cannot understand or follow what it’s saying, I know where Rick is going, but” – sights – “Claudia always knows that I need to hear, even when she is not with me”
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea
They’re swept away and nothing is what it seems,
The feeling of belonging to your dreams
Listen to your heart
When he’s calling for you
Listen to your heart
There’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
And I don’t know why,
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
“It’s not too late to call and apologize”
Pauses the song and takes her mobile out, in speed dial is the number she needs, it takes a while to be answered
– ¿What now? – asks a sleepy Claudia Grant
– I think I made a huge mistake
– Which one
– Come on Claudia this is serious, do you think I could lose him… I don’t want to lose our friendship when all this ends
– What happen
– I think we have an argument
– You are always arguing, besides all couples fight once in a while… it’s healthy
– Yeah… but he didn’t say anything, I couldn’t read him, he only said it was fine, but actually he should be rather mad or at least, I don’t know… I
– Look not all can be as fast as your brain, what about if you chilled out and talk about it tomorrow over a hot cup of coffee
– Claudia, I need to
– See you tomorrow at the base
– Claud… - she only hears the unmistakable sound of a cut line – she hang up on me
She pushes play and the song continues right where she left it, with that piano…
And there are voices
That wants to be heard
So much to mention
But you can’t find the words
The scent of magic,
The beauty that’s been
When love was wilder than the wind
She arrives to the corner of her street, taking right and walking two more blocks is Rick’s house, tanking left and one block is her place… during a few seconds she hesitate which road to follow.
Listen to your heart
When he’s calling for you
Listen to your heart
There’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
And I don’t know why,
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
And once again Lisa’s brain beats her heart; she takes the direction to continue in her lonely existence... without imaging that closely a young dark hair man lies over his bed observing the ceiling, thinking how he could understand the woman whose pictures are just in the open page of the album over this chest.
I don’t know where you’re going
And I don’t know why,
But listen to your heart
Before… you tell him goodbye
