Low Blow – Kristen Hope Mazzola

To think, without him, I wouldn’t be alive. I was a sixteen-year-old punk when my heart decided to fail out on me, and this one’s been ticking pretty good for the last ten years.” My jealousy continued to grow as the three of us sat in silence in the small office. My mind raced from question to question I didn’t have the guts to ask. Were Shaw and Olive just friends? Were they more than that?

Did they just work together? For some reason I felt an overwhelming need to know exactly who the hell he was and what his intensions were. It wasn’t anything more than instinctual, but in that moment, I felt like she was mine to protect and take care of, felt I needed to be with her from that moment on, every second of every day. Even being a desk’s width away felt like too far. I knew eventually I was going to have to get back onto my bike and head home, but I needed more time.

“Will you have dinner with me tonight?” I asked abruptly. Olive and Shaw both stared blankly at me while I waited impatiently for an answer. Finally, Olive spoke. “Sure? I guess that would be nice.” I got up from the chair, feeling like I was about to overstay my welcome. It was a work day and I was being rude, taking up way too much of her time as it was. “Great. What time should I come by to pick you up?” Olive’s cheeks turned the most adorable shade of pink, like strawberry syrup that I just wanted to lick and kiss off her face.

“Seven?” “Perfect. I’ll see you then.” She reached out to offer her hand to me. When I took it, the gesture felt too impersonal, so I pulled her in, tightly holding her to my chest as she sighed into me. “I’ll see you in a few hours,” she whispered, pushing me away. I waved goodbye to Shaw and then hopped on my bike. I had no idea what I was going to do for the rest of the day, but it didn’t matter.
