Sun Kisses



"So...hugmph... you're...uh..breaking up-nffnng- me?" I sniffle out as he stares cowardly at my beauty mark on my upper lip. We sit in some outside cafe, in-only-god-know's-where Spain. He took me here as a birthday present, even though my birthday is in February and it is June right now. I guess that should have been a sign.
"Lauren, its alright," leans in and touches my hand, to which i draw away in sheer puzzelment with a glimpse of rage. He sighs and continues, " There are plenty of guys who deserve you. I just want to take a break. It maybe a little while or not, I don't really know."
"What..uh..What went wrong?" I cough out commanding myself to get togethor.
"Its not you its me... really. I just couldn't deal with your constant.. well, you know how you do that thing with your hands when you get nervous then like expect me to be there right beside you. Yeah i think thats a part." He confesses to me. At least this time he looks me straight in the eyes. I scough at the reason he has just presented.
"You are breaking up with me because i was too needy?" I ask bewildered that he would even think that i was ever like that.I didn't pester him about the details of his family reunion, even though i knew his ex would be there! What a self-centered egotistical piece of scum on the bottom of a toaster in a dumpster!
"Actually its not only that... i met someone here... she is sitting at the table behind us.." He quickly glances to the woman who is behind me and gives her a don't-know-what-to-say-look. I can't turn around. It hurts my heart too much to wonder what she looks like. I feel that recently familiar twinge in my nose and know that tears are approaching fast. Come on, Lauren be brave face your replacement.
"Um, Hello... I speak little Englis..I am so sorre. My name is Alba" She sticks out her hand as if it symbolizes a peace treaty. I stand and so does my ex. He glides to her and I take her hand as i sniffle/sob.

Then i feel a hand on my back
