Was it meant to be? (a Mingus Reedus love story)

Chapter nineteen

Me and Mayzie were about to get on her dads jet. Mayzie kept telling me how excited she was. I was really excited to see my cousin after like 8 years. My mom was crying, I laughed at her and told her I was going to be fine and that it was only going to be two weeks. It was time for us to get on the jet so I went and hugged my mom and told her that I would call her when we landed.

Me and mayzie went and sat down near the back of the jet. It felt so weird on a plane without other people on. I pulled my phone out and put some music on. I started playing some Sonic Youth when all of a sudden Mayzie started playing music with speakers I laughed and grabbed some ear phones cause Mayzie wanted to listen to Taylor Swift. I noticed that Mayzie turned her music down and was trying to tell me something but my music was too loud and i took my ear buds out and I asked her what she said. She asked me "Do you like Mingus?" I said "Um, why are you asking me this?" She said "Just wanting to know." I said "Alright, I do." She then said "You know I could probably get his num..." I said "I already have his number. Norman gave it to me on Friday." Mayzie then started laughing and said "Then text him!" I looked at her with a smile and said "Yeah, you think I should?" Then she said "Yeah, ask him if he wants to meet up or something when we get to New York. Well if he's with his dad." I laughed and said "Ok, I'll text him in a little bit."

I didn't know if I should text Mingus. I mean we didn't even say anything to each other Friday. Then Norman just gave me his number when we were complete strangers. I didn't know what to do until i grabbed my phone and went to my contacts list. I went past Mingus's number then scrolled back up and tapped his number. I tapped the message thing and started typing (M-Mingus R-Racheal)

R-hello

M-Hi, who is this?

R-I'm racheal, we kind of met at a restaurant in Atlanta Friday night.

M-How did you get my number?

R-Are you Mingus?

M-Yes, how did you get my number?

R-Your dad gave me it.

M-Oh, why?

R-I honestly don't know. I was the girl that went and talked to him when he came out of the bathroom.

M-Oh yeah yeah, I remember you.

R-Haha yeah. So what's going on?

M-ah nothing really, i'm sitting in my living room. What about you?

R-I'm on a jet to New York with my friend.

M-Wow, really? I live in New York!

R-Haha that's cool!

M-Yeah maybe we could meet up or something when you get here!

R-Yeah! That'll be really great!

M-Yeah, well I have to go. My dad is calling for me. Text you later?

R-Sure bye :)

M-Bye :)

I was all smiles after that. Mayzie looked over and asked "What are you smiling about?" I said "Oh nothing, other than Mingus asking me if we could meet up!" Mayzie started laughing and said "See! Good thing you text him!" I started laughing. This trip is going to be great.
