Seth shrugged in agreement. It wasnāt often he stopped and reevaluated his life like this, (which was probably the reason he lived to carelessly before now) so it was nice to gain some insight on the way Ophelia made choices about hers. āI guess so. Yeah, as long youāre happy, I think thatās whatās important. I mean, my decision was sort of made for me, but in the long run..itās made me a lot better person. What brought all this on, though?ā he smiled, his hand finding hers reassuringly. Ā
He noticed the uneasy look on Opheliaās face as the boys began with their rude advances on other customers in the bar. His fingers squeezed hers once more, a friendly gesture, more than anything, and he gave her a look that showed just how annoyed he was by the racket at the back of the bar, too. It was typical immature behavior expected from such a group, but what were they supposed to do about it? Ā āJust ignore them, theyāre just trying to boost their egos. Theyāll forget about it soon enough. he murmured, Ā āWow, you just about nailed it! You should come work with me already, weāll be two partners in crime, huh?ā
Ophelia ran her hands through her hair as she listened to Seth speak.Ā ā& being a good person matters as well, because if youāre a shit person than good things wonāt happen to you, & then you wonāt be happy. I uh- Iām not really sure what brought this on. I guess the guys are just getting under my skin is all. Itās almost like a game to them, a game theyāre good at winning.ā Letting out an annoyed sigh, the brunette grabbed her water & took a sip.Ā āPlus, I like talk about life choices. Like, imagine what would happen if we didnāt make the choices we made today?āĀ
Their voices were louder than anyone else'sĀ in the. Their footsteps vibrated even more than the music that was playing in the background. The group of boys made their way closer to where they were sitting, which only made Sethās squeeze a bit startling. Deciding to ignore the boys, she laughed at how he acted after her failed attempt at understanding cars. āSeriously! You & I would be great. You could yell small wrench & I would know exactly what you were talking about.āĀ
About to go on, she locked eyes with one of the boys. Her heart sank to her stomach as he walked over, his friends not far behind.Ā āWell look at this- itās the Virgin Mary & the father of the year. Ophelia, we do know now that you have to have sex in order to have children, & you know his record. Why donāt you just come home with me instead. I promise I have a clean record- plus I know how to use protection.āĀ
