THE TRUE LOVE SURVIVES EVERYTHING SERIES : DECISIONS

The meeting

DECISIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

It was 7 a.m on a very cold Saturday morning and there was almost no one outside. Only the people who had done with working or the ones who let their dogs out. And then you had me, walking around , with my hood on and with music in my ears.

That was my daily routine, just get up and get a breath of fresh air and think about certain things, especially about my work. Don't get me wrong, I love my work, but if you miss a promotion, every single time, then you start to doubt yourself. And suddenly I thought: 'why I don't resign and start somewhere else again?'

My bosses were very disappointed that I made that decision, but continue to work somewhere and knowing that you don't get a promotion , that was not really what I had in mind. But my colleagues understood my decision and said that they 're gonna miss me very much and I'm  gonna miss them too of course.

I got already some job offers and those were all very interesting, but I wanted to leave Belgium and work somewhere abroad. But that was easier said than done. So I had took one of the most important decisions ever.Would I go to France, Great Britain, Germany, or just leave Europe and go to the States?

Okay, the pro's and cons, Germany and France soon fell off, because the jobs weren't really my kinda things. So, it went between the States of Great Britain. And then I read ,online, a very interesting job offer in Sweden. Oh yes, why not, I had to especially speak and write English , so I applied right away. They called me a few days later and after a few weeks I sat already on the plane to Sweden. But what a gathering at that airport and also what a fuss, that was not normal, it was a true people's situation there. Oh well, I didn't care less and ran towards the exit, where a few of my new colleagues were waiting for me and I asked them what was going on. Apparently they waited until Måns Zelmerlöw arrived and I looked at that crowd and just wonder, did I know that guy?

'Yes, he won last year the Eurovision song contest with the song Heroes ', said someone of my colleagues. AHA, I know that song, but the name eludes me, I didn't really follow it last year, but suddenly I knew why they all started to scream.

He didn't  looked bad at all, I thought myself. And someone of my colleagues punched me and said: 'He looks good, eh'.' Yes, he does', I said to her. Which I regretted that I didn't followed that song festival last year. And as the crowd was leaving, we also went further. But I had a thirst and  most airports have Starbucks, luckily for me  there was one here as well. And a Caramel Macchiato  can taste really good , especially when you are early at the airport.

But than someone bumped against me, and wham, there goes my coffee, a part on the ground and a part on my clothes. Damn, I can't change now, because one of my colleagues has my suitcase. And than someone asked me if everything was alright,  I looked up and looked straight  into  those gorgeous brown eyes. Suddenly I  saw who he was and I couldn't say anything , I was totally amazed. And he asked me again:" is everything alright?".  And I quickly said: "Yes, everything is fine, only I hate the fact that I can't change my clothes right now and I have to walk around with those coffee stains on them and I have to meet my new bosses, in this clothes".  And he smiled and said: "Yes, meeting your new bosses dressed like this is indeed a no go, but at what time you have to be there?" "Actually, I  have no idea, they went the whole day at the office. So, I can call them and explain the situation." "OK, you  do that already, I'm going to get you a new coffee , you only have to say which, otherwise I stand here with the wrong coffee", he said. And I thought to myself:' I will let him guess which it should be, then he have too stay a little bit longer at my table'. "Oké deal", I said to him, he looked at me and said:   "OK, but what do I get if I'm right the first time". Shit, what do I have to say now. Ok, I can also play this game, I thought about what I could say to him and then I said : "If you have it right from the first time, then I give you a big kiss ". '."OK, I'll do it ", he said. Was wondering if he would get  it right at the first time, and all of a sudden he stood back with a new coffee and I didn't saw when he went to the counter. "I hope it's the right one ", he said. He gave me the cup of coffee and there was nothing on , just a smiling face, nothing more, no name. How in God's name could he guessed which coffee it was, but apparently he knew someone who worked there and so he could easily ask which coffee I had ordered .  I drank it and started laughing and he looked at me: "Why are you laughing no? O, dear, I have the wrong coffee, there goes my kiss." And all of a sudden a cute, crestfallen face. That poor guy, I did feel bad for him, but I have to admit, he had it right. But I just had to laugh that he had guessed it right at the first time, cause everyone I know had a few attempts to find the right one.  I relieved him quickly from his suffering and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He looked at me, smiled and then said: "I had it right!!!" "Yep, the first time right, congratulations, there are few who can. Even the one who knows me best," I said.
