Tam couldn't help but smile slightly, turning to face him fully.
"Have you ever liked someone then just freaked because it seemed all new and weird and stuff, maybe that's it? If you can't see any other reason. Admittedly I don't know her all that well or you for that matter so I guess I can't really judge but if she means something to you; give it a try," She coaxed.
"You don't know if you never try right?" She said.

I knew she was right. I had to ask Chicago sometime, but just not at this moment. One, because it was an ungodly hour. And two, I needed to pull myself together if I was to ask her this. I also had to prepare myself for the truth since I was so desperate to know and I needed to steel myself because whatever it was, I knew it was going to hurt.
"I have had that happen before." I replied. "But that was 'bout a year or so ago. I've known her for a long time 'n' we started out as friends anyway, so I figure she'd be used t' my spontaneous outbursts." I raised my hand to my face, rubbing my temples. "No offense, but y' Aphrodites are gonna be the end of m' someday."

Tamara couldn't help but laugh.
"S'what we're here for deary. Love's a bugger," She teased.
"If you've known her for ages then that's even better!" She said.
"Sounds to me like one of those things you just need to talk out...might want a drink first though if you want to steady your nerves," She joked.

"Sure is." I muttered, lowering my hand back down. I just didn't like to think of Chicago as one of those people that just got with a person only to cast them to the side after just having sex, or something. She wasn't like that... er, not in my opinion, at least. Wait, why am I still going on about this? Everyone has choices; Chicago made hers and I would just have to deal with it my own way.
When she brought up alcohol, though, I quickly turned my head so I could actually see her. "Please don't bring up alcohol," I pleaded, shaking my head. "I quit drinkin' 'cause she didn't like it. That was hell in itself." I knew that if I had even a sip of alcohol right now, I'd just go overboard and end up killing myself from intoxication. That'd definitely get us nowhere.

"Oh...sorry," She said.
"That's kind of sweet," She grinned.
"None of my boyfriends ever did anything like that...then again I'm pretty sure on every count they would have told me to just sod off or something...so any idea what you kind of thing you're going to say?" Tam asked.

"S'alright. Y' didn't know." I said apologetically, turning back to look down at the ground and blocking her out on my blind side.
I wanted to ask her about her previous boyfriends but that seemed to be rude. So instead, I tried thinking about what I'd tell Chicago. "I dunno. I'll prob'ly jus' ask her what I did wrong." I answered, shrugging lightly. "I'll tell her I hope Kaleb makes her happy 'n' if he does anythin' t' hurt her I'll personally tear him limb from limb." The last sentence came out more harshly than I had anticipated, but I couldn't help it. If I ever found out that he hurt her in any way, he and I would have a prayer meeting somewhere secluded. Preferably in the woods, where I felt much stronger because of my genetics. It was all making me think back to how I had hurt Chicago, though. Would Kaleb come after me if she told him what I had done to her? I don't know. I couldn't fight him; I figured it'd hurt Chicago to see us fight, and besides, I didn't want to ruin her new relationship.

"Oh...another guy?" She said.
"Well I guess you just have to let her know you're still there, she might get bored of him or something," Tam said.
"I...what happened to your eye?" She blurted out all of a sudden. She'd noticed it a little while ago but suddenly the question came tumbling out of her mouth.
"That was...sorry that was rude," She said looking a little embarrassed, glancing down at her hands.

I let out a small sigh, nodding slightly. "She really likes him, from what I've seen. It's jus'... painful, y' know?" Again I gave a little shrug. Eventually it would get to where I didn't mind seeing Chicago with him, but for now it was too much to bear. I guess it really does get easier with time. "I'll always be there for her, whether she knows it or not..."
"My eye?" I asked, turning so I could actually see her. "No, s'alright. I've been blind in that eye ever since I can remember. I don't even know what color the iris is." I gave a little dry chuckle.

"I'm sure she'll come round," Tam smiled comfortingly.
"She'll know and even if she doesn't appreciate it right away I'm sure she will," She said.
She gazed curiously at the milky white of his eye.
"It must have been hard growing up half blind," She frowned ever so slightly.

I gave a small sigh. "If he makes her really happy, then I don't want her t' come around." I said quietly. "I always wanted her t' be happy 'n' obviously I couldn't do that, but since it appears that he can, then I'll do anythin' t' make sure she stays with him...." It pained me to tell Tam that, and even though I regretted all those words -- especially not being able to make her happy -- it was all true. I wanted Chicago to be happy, but it just seemed that I couldn't make her feel good.
Reaching out in front of me, I plucked a few seeds off of a wheat-looking stalk of grass and dug a small hole with my finger, placing the seeds in there and covering it back up with dirt. Since Tam was a demigoddess, I didn't mind using my power in front of her. My only good eye steadily watched the small mound of dirt, and after a few moments, a green stalk began poking through. It was like one of those plant films that put the growth of shrubbery on fast forward, you know? The stalk just grew and grew until it reached its full height in a matter of a minute or two, fully blossomed with its wheat-like seeds.
"It was at first, but since it had always been blind, I quickly got used t' it." I shrugged. "Took me forever t' realize that no one else could only see through one eye. Heh. I used t' believe that everyone saw things like I did." A faint, dull smile drew across my mouth as I kept my eye trained on the newly grown seeded stalk of grass. If only I could just start over with Chicago... maybe things would go over better.

Tam tilted her head slightly.
"I really didn't think guys like you still existed," She laughed.
"It'd kill me if the person I liked liked someone else," She shrugged.
She watched him pull a stalk of wheat towards him, she was about to ask what he was going when he dug a small hole and placed the seeds inside. She watched him curiously, her eyes widening at the green shoot that stuck it's head through the ground. She gave a gasp.
"That's amazing!" She said in awe looking at him.
"How do you...that's so cool!" She cried not really knowing quite what else to say. It was only after a little bit that she recovered enough to reply.
She couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I guess it's not so difficult like that," She shrugged.
