Life After Jane

Coordinates

Rob sat in the train, heading back to town. He was trying to grasp the time he had just spent with Jane at the café. He was happy to have been able to see her again after all this while. She seemed as though she had been waiting to see him just as much. She looked just as beautiful as she did when they first met. Her green eyes were so beautiful when she was sitting across from him at the café. The light was shining brightly through the glass windows of the café that her entire complexion seemed like she was glowing.

Her behaviour was an entirely different thing. She was a little shifty. Something was definitely bothering her. He could tell that she was speaking to him as though someone was listening in on them. That device she placed on the table when they were talking must have been some sort of a noise cancelling device or jammer. He couldn't shake off the thought of "keeping their conversation safe". What could she have meant by that? Who would be listening to their conversations? Why would they do such a thing?

Rob kept thinking about so many things as he got off the train. He was slowly walking back to his apartment. It was getting cold so he placed his hands in the pockets of his jacket and he realized that there was something in one of the pockets. It was a napkin. It had Jane's writing on it. He took it out and looked at it. It was a series of numbers like they were coordinates. Could they be a location of a specific place? Was she giving him a location for them to meet? As he looked at the napkin closely, there was a scribble of what seemed like time written in military hours.

Rob stopped and looked around. He shook his head and looked back at the napkin. Jane gave him a place and time. She wanted to see him again. He smiled to himself and rushed home. He had a few hours to get himself ready before heading out to the location Jane had given him. He got out of the shower and sat on the bed as he dried his hair. He looked at his phone and tried to figure out how to find the location Jane had given him. The most obvious thing to do was to open up a navigation system app and put in the coordinates he had.

After a few tires, he finally managed to find and pin point the location. It wasn't that far from his place. In fact, it was only within walking distance. Rob got ready and took a look at himself in the mirror. He wasn't really sure what the occasion was so he dressed however he thought would be presentable and decent. He wanted to make sure he was looking good to Jane. He was excited. He was finally looking forward to something and this was it. He was going meet Jane, by invitation.

Rob checked himself and checked to see if he had everything he needed with him. He took one last look at himself in the mirror and headed out the door. He took out his phone and opened the navigation app and started walking towards the coordinates he was given. It didn't take him that long to get to his destination. After a few minutes of walking, he found himself standing at the entrance of an expensive, private condo. Rob looked up and thought to himself, is this......her house? He checked the time to see if he was too early. He had about 30 minutes before the meeting so he decided to walk into the lobby and waited there.

He sat down at one of the couches in the waiting area. A man approaches him and asks if he was there to meet Miss Castellanos. Rob nodded and the man told him to follow him. Rob was escorted to the elevator area. The man assisted him into the elevator and scanned a card. He smiled at Rob and wished him good day as the elevator door closed. The elevator took him to the topmost floor. As the doors opened, he realized that it was a private floor, almost like a penthouse.

Stepping out carefully, Rob looks around to see if there was anyone else around. He stepped out from the elevator into an actual house. The floors were made of marble and everything felt like it was symmetrical and simple yet, luxurious and elegant at the same time. The natural light that came through the windows were bright and it made the entire house feel like it was by the mediterranean sea. There was a balcony overlooking the city. The glass doors were opened to let the breeze in.
