The Showdown — Lindsay Anderson

Seth 11:35 pm For a moment, I stood there, frozen solid. I was so angry, that I was too scared to move. No one, and I mean no one, bad mouths my girlfriend. Finally thawing out, I growled, "You did not just say that about my girlfriend." "I did, so what are you going to do about it?" Taking a deep breath, I said, "I am going to tell you this one thing, and I am going to say it loud and clear." Looking deep into Riley's eyes and taking her hand, I said, "I am the luckiest guy in the world to be dating Riley Johnson. She has this strength that I wished that I possessed. Bald or with a head full of hair, she is the most beautiful girl that I have ever laid my eyes on. To be quite honest, I wonder some-times if I am good enough for her." Riley 11:36 am Before I knew what was happening, my heart was melting with pride. Seth was doing everything that he could to protect my honor. However, it made kind of sad that he wondered sometimes if he was good enough for me. Didn't he know how much I loved him and need-ed him in my life? Didn't Seth know and understand that he made a huge difference in my life? Before I could remind Seth of that, he turned to Zoe and con-tinued, "You can say what-ever you want about me, because I couldn't care less. However, don't you dare let me hear you or catch you saying mean things to or about my girlfriend. Do I make myself clear?" Without saying anything more, Erin, Seth, and I made our way out of Steak N' Shake. After all, there was nothing more we needed to see or say.
