Chapter Four Adrienne

I don’t know why I ran out like that. I felt bad, that’s for sure, but honestly I wouldn’t blame him if he never wanted to know of me again.

What I felt, dancing with him was unreal and scared the living hell out of me. I felt the connection between us and at the end I had a feeling he already knew who I was, which is why I had to leave. I didn’t want to but I had to.

It’s been two days since that night and I know he has a way of connecting with me. Jaz gave his friend, who’s name escapes me, her number and I don’t doubt he told Kristian. How would I be able to face him? Does he know or does he not?

“Are you listening to me!”

Hmm? Oh, I was holding a conversation with Anais and I didn’t even know it. “I couldn’t hear you, what happened?”

“Alright, what’s going on with you? You’ve been antsy for the last two days. Not to mention, you’ve been zoning out and not listening to me.”

“What are you talking about? I’m fine.” I look down at my black painted toe nails in my flip flops. I know this isn’t really the season for black but the color suits me.

“The hell you’re not. I mean look at you? Your leg is shaking and you’re clicking your pen and that is a full-fledged sign that something is making you nervous. Spit it out!” she crosses her arms, expecting me to confess.

I lean back in my chair. Unfortunately these little coffee shop chairs aren’t really the most comfortable and not to mention it has been a tiring day, doing errands for my mother wiped me out and it’s only five o’clock. I lean forward and hesitate. Should I tell her? She knows that I had a missing childhood best friend but she never knew how I felt about him.

 “Still waiting.” 

“Alright,” I huff and continue, “you’re right. I have been a teeny bit nervous, but that was only because I had a blast from the past the other night when I went out with Jaz. It’s no big deal, but I feel like at any moment he’s going to pop out and ask me for my life story and I don’t know if I –”

“Woah! Who are you talking about? Where and what place was this? And if you’re saying it’s no big deal, then it is a big deal.”

"Remember that kid I used to hang around when I was little? The one I told you about? We were like best friends, then I never heard from him again?” she nods. “Well, it’s him. Kristian. I saw him two nights ago at a club and we danced.”

Ana’s mouth was open with shock, “But you never dance with anyone. Let alone a stranger. Are you sure it was him? It could have been a look alike. What are the chances of running into him now?”

“Oh I’m sure it was him. His face didn’t change and he has that familiar-like birth mark in the same spot.” I look at the floor remembering his face and the photo at the same time. He really hasn’t changed and thank god he hasn’t. My phone vibrates in my pocket telling me I received a text. It’s from Jaz. 

Jaz: Apartment. ASAP. Emergency

I call her to see what is wrong. It went straight to voicemail.

Me: What’s wrong? Answer your phone!

Jaz: NOW

I look up at Ana, “Jaz needs me. I have to go.” I pack up my things and head for the door.

“Don’t think we’re done Adri! We’re going to finish this.” Anais yells behind me making a few people look at us. I knew she wouldn’t let it be. I give her a thumbs up and head to Jaz’s apartment.
