Alistair
Many things can be said for the color blue.
It evokes sadness. Reflects the inner miseries we try to
keep tucked deep inside, where no one can ever bear
witness.
Some claim it elicits a calmness, returning the human
psyche to its state in the natural world. Like water and sky,
blue flows effortlessly between one medium to the next,
making it the connector of all colors.
At least, according to the umpteenth Aplana Island Art
Historical Society meeting I attended yesterday. Two days
ago, the color blue was just that. Now, I can’t stop staring
at the lass across the pub, flitting from table to table, royalblue hair shimmering as it spills in waves down her
backside.
With an irritated grunt, I toss back the tumbler of club
soda in front of me.
My penance, I suppose, for building a political campaign
on the premise of restoring the arts in our community.
While mayor of this shitty little island town, I’m stuck
pretending to give a rat’s bloody arse about the endless
interpretations.
Slamming the glass back down, I slide it away and
glance at the phone resting by my elbow. My younger
brother, Jonas, hasn’t contacted me in over twenty-four
hours, which wouldn’t be abnormal, except for the
bollocking he gave me the other day.
The swelling in my nose still hasn’t completely gone
down.
Though we generally operate on a when necessary
speaking schedule, this silence feels pointed. Like perhaps
I should’ve told him I knew his absentee mum’s
whereabouts before she showed up and demanded
residency in his beach house.
Someone clears their throat, and I glance up to see the
bartender staring. She places one hand on her hip, and I
can’t help wondering how long she’s been standing there,
trying to get my attention.
My gaze falls to her lips, focusing on them as they curve
around syllables.
“Can I get you anything else?” she asks, leaning her
forearms on the bar top. Her name badge is marked out
with a strip of black tape and fastened upside down on her
plaid top, and her dark, oval-shaped eyes search mine. “An
actual drink maybe?”
God, don’t I wish.
“I’m waiting for someone. I’d rather not be pissed when
he gets here.”
She makes a face, then purses her lips. “A date?”
“No.” Pausing, I push my tongue into the bottom of my
cheek, considering the nature of my anticipated company.
At one time, potential lovers.
Didn’t ever quite get that far before our respective
darknesses took over and drove us apart, though. Neither
of us was interested in sharing much about our personal
lives, making a real relationship quite difficult.
“He’s… an old friend,” I say finally, ignoring the slight
pinch in my chest.
