I park the car and walk with a skip in my step towards the restaurant. Nothing and no-one is going to stand in my way now that I have a chance with Jennie again. The one girl I loved and nearly a decade later, after spending some time with her, I have found myself hopelessly falling in love with her once again. Her giving me a second chance was such a long shot even after our first encounter. Part of me felt like it would never happen while the rest maintained a steady optimism.
From experience, I know how stubborn she can be, after all we were together for two years with nobody any the wiser. I thought her no dating rule was going to be just the same. Then again, she always did have a way of surprising me. There would be moments that would be completely out of character. She's always kept me on my toes.
Like now, there she stands outside the restaurant. In a navy-blue dress, down to her knees, with a black belt cinching at the waist and a light blue denim jacket. She looks absolutely amazing.
She turns my way and I think at first, it's because she's seen me but then she ignores me and engages with the woman next to her. Where did this woman come from? As I watch, the woman happily hugs Jen and kisses her.
What is going on?
Suddenly I find myself back in my car, I don't even remember walking away. My shaking hands clench and unclench a few times before I decide to head home.
If I stay here, I'll only end up making a scene.
