SNEAK PEEK
We sat across from each other at a small,
round, wooden table in the crowded restaurant where Tara had insisted on
eating. It seemed swanky with its beige table clothes and polished silverware,
and we’d had to drive a few miles to reach it. The occupants of the tables
around us were largely wealthy looking Latinos and people of Afro-Caribbean
decent. The restaurant felt more crowded than it actually was because the
tables had been pressed together to form a clearing where a few couples danced.
Tara tapped her fingers against the table rhythmically to the beat of a heavily
Caribbean infused song. An awkward silence spread between us. I thought she was
crazy, and she was obviously aware of the fact. That caused a bit of
discomfort, I guess. The idea that she found my suspicion amusing made me even
more convinced that she was an insane asylum escapee.
"You are being unusually
quiet," I said, leaning across the table and placing my hand on top of
hers, effectively stopping the tapping.
She looked at me with a challenge in her
eyes. "How would you know," she paused dramatically,
"Dylan?"
I rolled my eyes. "Oh, please. Don't
start with that reincarnation crap."
Her eyes narrowed. She looked dangerous.
"Crap? Really? You can call what we shared crap? That’s just insensitive."
"Tara, I don't remember. This all
sounds far-fetched to me." I softened my voice as I tried to calm her. If
she was dangerous, I didn’t want to
upset her before I got the hell away from her.
She nodded. "Fine. Why am I here
with you? Why did you even ask me to come if this is all crap to you?"
I shrugged. Why had I asked her? The
truth was that I wanted to be around her. Crazy or not, I needed to get to know
her. I couldn’t explain it, so instead, I lied. “I was hungry and thought you
might be too.”
“Huh. Well, let’s order and eat so I can
get the hell out of here.” Her voice dripped with annoyance.
“Tara, can’t we just get to know each
other?”
She shot daggers at me with her eyes. “I
already know you.”
