"Taron?" I ask unsure because these days celebrities have so many lookalikes it's crazy!
"Yes, how can I help yo- Lauren? My gosh it's you!" He engulfs me into a tight hug and I hug him back with almost every inch of strength I have inside me.
I haven't seen him in five years, well on tv yes, but never in real life, not since high school anyway.
"How are you? I've missed you so much! You look stunning by the way!" He exclaims and hugs me again. He finally let go and I gave a slight laugh.
"Why thank you my dear. Yes, I'm doing great thank you, how are you? I mean we haven't seen each other in forever!" I say out of excitement and pure shock. It's a lot to take in.
He started talking and I of course didn't hear a word because I was busy admiring his figure. He's taller from when I had last seen him, he's more muscular as well and he looks much more mature than he did back then.
He's hot. Damn, he's definitely doing fine, just fine.
I smirk to myself and quickly snapped back to reality because Taron was looking at me with that, 'Are you even listening to me' look on his face.
I blushed and apologized. "I'm sorry, I was just admiring you, taking it all in. I mean it's you, my high school bestie, all grown up and famous now" I smile up at him, (yes, now I have to look up at him because he got taller, a lot taller).
"Why thank you dear" He mocks me and I slap him on the shoulder.
I admired his eyes as well, they were so beautiful, almost like the sea with a hint of grey.
Now I know, it all makes sense. We're basically the same person, so I can understand why he's also driving a Landie, we have so much in common.
I saw a watch on his left arm and a cold shiver went down my spine. I'm going to be late for work!
"Taron, here, quickly put your number in my phone and I'll do the same with mine. I totally forgot I'm going to be late for work" I have a mini freak out session.
He laughed and handed me back my phone and I his. "It was great seeing you again, I'll call you, we should grab a coffee sometime and catch up" I rushed the words while I get into my car.
"Most definitely!" He replied with a smile, that same smile I remember from years ago..
The one I could dream about for hours.
I shut my car door, reversed out of my parking space and waved a quick goodbye and drove off.
Shit. I really hope time stands still, just until I get into the building or at least when I'm under it.
I sped to work, praying that I didn't miss the meeting that I arranged!
***
I can't stop thinking about her. Wow, she looks amazing! I've missed her presence in my life, I really did.
She looks so different, yet the same. I can't explain it, I just remembered why I fell in love with her back then.
Yes, I started to fall for her, hard, but nothing ever came of it because I was too big of a wussy to tell her.
She's in great shape, she looks a bit taller, she's so elegant and professional now, I wonder what she does for a living now...
Oh, and that lip colour suits her perfectly. I don't know why but I just couldn't stop staring at her lips.
They look so kissable and I bet her lips taste better than strawberries.
"Sir, Sir! Your coffee!" The girl at the counter finally knocked me out of my thoughts. "Oh, sorry. Thank you" I reply and she just turns around and walk away.
