The promise of our meeting wasn't postponed long since my father, being the amazing con-artist he is escaped to Canada, and requested that I meet him there. So here I am alone, at Niagara Falls with my absentee father living up to his name by being FOUR HOURS LATE! Staring into the watery abyss all I could find in my thoughts were Gene, Gene and that stupid whore. My blood boiled beneath my paper-thin cocoon, threatening to burst from my body in geysers. I must admit though, before I set off on my journey to Canada I left Gene a sobbing voicemail notifying him that I would be here at this specific time, I began daydreaming that Gene would show up and I would forgive him and we would get married and have a family. Still alone at this supposed "tourist attraction" I heard pounding footsteps, I expected my father but when I turned around I saw none other than a sweaty, panting, Gene.
There was an awkward pause before he regained composure and quietly said, "I followed you here."
"I noticed." I retorted.
"Look, I'm really sorry about the other night with what happened and drunk calling you and all that. But I honestly meant what I said on the phone." He looked deeply into my eyes, but I still wasn't buying it.
“I doubt it, I saw you with her. I saw you with that whore, I just wanted to give you that gift once everyone was gone but no when I come back to find you I find you tonguing some hussy!"
"She's not a whore. She's a friend and while I regret the kiss, there certainly was no tongue. She instigated it, and had you of stayed, you would have saw me push her away and remind her that I was with you, and no one else."
"So now you're defending her huh?"
"I can't have womanly friends? There's nothing between us, Ardor. Nothing. I only care about you. "
My blood was spurting out of my body in the form of words now,
"REALLY? GENE? REALLY?" I screamed "BECAUSE HOW CONVIENENT SHE SHOWS UP ONCE EVERYONE ELSE HAD LEFT. how PERFECT that she picked the moment I walked into the room to jump you HOW AMAZINGLY ACCURATE that you didn't even NOTICE that I was behind you! Maybe if the suction of that kiss wasn't so fucking loud you would have HEARD MY FOOTSTEPS THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE CAUGHT YOU CHEATING!"
I moved closer to the rails overlooking the violently rushing water
"I wasn't cheating. I don't want her. You're just paranoid, now stop it! She kissed me, not the other way around."
"So now I'm paranoid? I wouldn't be surprised you didn't even know my name for a majority of our relationship, you probably forgot I existed."
"Yes, paranoid." he took a step closer, I couldn't allow it. I couldn't allow him to close the distance between us I stepped over the railing.
"Get away from me Gene." The only thing keeping me from the water was this small wet ledge, I maybe this will get him to go away or dissuade him until my father arrives.
"Come on, be reasonable." He came closer.
"I am being Reasonable." No, I really wasn't. What the hell am I doing?
