A Rose In A Dress

"I can already tell its going to go bad." I think to myself.

I finally arrive to the café. I'm not too confident of how Julianna looks like or where's she at. I simply walk in and order a cappuccino. I sit by the window and start reading a newspaper article. Headline says "Bank goes Bankrupt?" First I'm skeptical about the article because Travis works in that bank.

Julianna walks in. I see her and automatically I smile. She's wearing her red and black dress with a white jacket. She orders and sits right in front me.

"I see that you're still the classy girl I used to love also." I start to say to her.

"I see that you're still the classic conceited guy I used to love." She replies.

I laugh and as I see her laughter I start to think, "How could I have been so dumb to leave this?" Then I pop the question.

"So who's your boyfriend?" I asked.
"His name is Michael Hunt." She replied.
"He used to go to our school correct?" I asked.
"Yes. He was the straight A student. Who had no friends. You and Travis would make fun of him remember?"

Memories started to cross my mind and it came to me. Michael Hunt was the guy who was after her all the time so I never liked him. Giving me my reason for messing with him. Now he has Julianna and I can't do much about it.

"How long have you and him been together?"

"2 years and a half."

That killed me even worse now.. She has been with him for this long and it will last.

"Anyhow, enough about me. What's been up with you? Any lucky ladies?" She says sarcastically.

"Well there was one. We met at this reunion of entrepreneurs and we talked and laughed but you know me, I don't like commitments."

"Never really could hang on to a woman, could you?"

I was almost at the point of leaving because in that moment, she made me angry. Her words. She doesn't understand why I never could keep a woman but she'll know later.

2 hours go by and I forgot I had to go home and meet Travis.

I send Travis a text saying ,
"Travis, I will be a little late. Not too much. Twin turbo got me hooked, so we'll meet in the diner beside the old Pizza Place."

Julianna comes back from the restroom and she excuses herself.

"Steven, I've better head out now. Mike is probably wondering why I'm taking so long. I'll call you soon."

I says, "Okay, that's fine. I have to be going too. But don't take too long."

So i hug her good-bye, oh how I miss her hugs.

I step out and back into my car. All of these memories flashing in my head, first kiss, first hug, first date. Everything feels right. I stop thinking and head to the diner to meet Travis.
