It wasn’t until Evie mentioned it that Dave realized he did abandon Helen. He felt a bit bad, but not as bad as he ought to. Evie always had this magnetiziment about her that pulled Dave and some other men in. That is probably why they even got together in the first place. The way she talked to him now, and the way she moved, she had the same magnetism that first pulled him in, but after being in a relationship with her for a year, it seemed different to him. The difference, that crept up into his mind, became all the more evident when she started to move away from him. She swayed her hips as if she was still on stage, not an acclaimed actress. This force a memory of her to come to surphace, one he didn’t want to remeber, because he liked it before, but now the memory loses the charm.
MEMORY FROM 2021
Back in 2021 Dave was still a soccer player. He was one of the most well known soccer players, but still. However he has acted in a movie beforehand, which wasn’t a great movie, nor was his acting spectacular, but it brought enough dough to the box office for Dave to now be friends with a producer. It was his birthday and his week up to that night was full of strenuous trainings and full of downs, so his friends, including the producer, took him to a strip club as a birthday present but also to wind off. Some of his friends were putting money in the dancers’ g-strings and ‘encouraging’ them to “TAKE IT OFFF!”. Dave was enjoying a beer talking to his producer friend when he suddenly decided to take a private lap dance. Dave, then looked up at the stage and saw a dancer who looked as if she couldn’t hear any of the shouts and wasn’t obliging them with whatever they ask for. She would only see the men waving the money but she was deaf to their demans, letting them know she’ll dance the way she wants to. Dave looked up at her and to his surprise she looked down on him. Dave liked her because out of all the dancers she was the one holding out on the public, making them wait longer for the finish and therefore making her the most desireable from the bunch. Dave, who is 6’6 and had a tight shirt on which exposed the outline of his muscular body which might be what she liked in him upon seeing him. It was the way she moved on that stage while sometimes making direct eye contact with him that made him want her. When her dance finished Dave felt like he either needed a cold shower or a cold drink, and since one was more of an option than the other, he went to the bar. He ordered his drink and by the time he almost finished it, she showed up to the bar. They were both happily surprised to see each other again and it was at that bar their relationship started. They both assumed their relationship would be a one night stand and that they felt only lust for each other, but when they were talking in the bar that they realized they had a lot in common and would actually like to be in each other’s company. That’s how their relationship started, but the descend of the relationship would be the very next morning when Evie would become an actress. The producer Dave was with that night got his sights on Evie when watching her dance on stage and decided to get her into a movie he was making. Dave thinks their relationship might still be ongoing if he retired and became an actor sooner, or if she remained a stripper. Dave remebered how his playing was amazing when he first met Evie, but after a few months the relationship strained on him and his playing got worse, and it was only after their break up in 2022 that he won that MLS Cup with his team. Little did he know then that this performance would be his last good one and that his age was slowly catching up to him.
CURRENTLY
When she kissed Dave on the cheek and started moving away from him in that fashion, he felt as if she was on that stage again, making all the men want her more than any other girl out there. If she really wanted him to stay away from her she wouldn’t have kissed him on the cheek like that, or swayed her hips like that. Dave’s remebered what she said about this Sant … something she mentioned as her boyfriend. 'Santana, my boyfriend, can be a little ruthless when it comes to what is his." Dave would think it a turn off to have a man say you are his and not allow you to talk to your ex boyfriend before turning into a jealous rage. She might be looking for jealous men so she can always be their center of attention and being suggestive to others to keep those jealous men thinking only of her.
Dave’s head was spinning, not knowing if he still likes her, or if he likes the good memories, but suddenly he also started remebering how hard it was to get her alone and how doing that became such a burden that they both stopped trying and started despising having to spend time together. Dave hadn’t seen her since their break up, and he was curious who this new guy is … Santana or whatever his name was.
