The Sunset (Coming Out Strong 2)

Chapter #2

*Anna's POV*

Woah ! I had no idea what was happening. Okay. He sure was good looking but I dunno why Reyna was staring at him that way as the colour drained off her face. Actually, both of their faces.

Will someone tell me what's going on ?

Then , I saw Reyna leave her basket as she cautiously made her way towards the guy.

Great ! Now this was getting dramatic!

I heard her mutter something unintelligent. Something like ... Ron ?

****************

*Ron's POV*

It can't be her ! Was she always this pretty ? Was her hair always this long and her eyes this black?

Well of course they were you idiot!

Then , she did the unthinkable. I thought she would run away but she took a step towards me and said ,"Ron?". I gasped. She remembers?

After what you did to her , you didn't expect her to forget you so easily now did you ? 

"H...hey. Reyna", I nodded towards her. Yes .. She was beautiful.

She smiled. Ah ! That smile was something I had missed over the years. That toothy grin of hers. But this was a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Like she was almost cursing fate that we had to meet.

"What are..you doing ? I mean, in this part of the town ?", she asked.
"Oh well ... My aunt lives here. Didn't you know that ?"

Did you really expect her to remember ?

"Oh yeah. Yeah of course. I forgot"

Ookaaay.

*****************

*Reyna's POV*

"Oh well... My aunt lives here. Didn't you know that ?"

"Oh yeah. Yeah of course. I forgot". I saw his eyebrows raise slightly at my answer. Infact , I also remembered that his aunt had a kid called John who was then in preschool just around the corner and the fact that the two boys bonded well together. How could I ever forget ?

"So... I mean.. I have a lot to explain you know. We have five years to catch up on. If your Sunday is free meet me at the café at nine for coffee?

Okay. What did he think of himself? And .. We ? Did he say WE ? Well .. He had catching up to do since being the creepy stalker that I was knew about most of his life. At least until a year ago after which I was not really interested.

In my peripheral vision, I saw Anna raise an eyebrow. Oh damn ! Anna !
I could almost imagine her screaming ,"YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO YOUNG LADY !" , as I cringed.
But I couldn't refuse the offer the reason being I had to listen to his explanation.

"Sure", I heard myself mutter.
