Embrace The Flames

PART.5- You again?

Unknown's P.O.V

People were buzzing around me, chatting and being around loved ones. As for me, I wasn't that lucky. Being 17 years old, I was still living with my siblings, Zach being almost 21 years old, I have a job to support my younger sisters who need a good future if they can still stand for that long. I let out a deep sigh. It was the middle of October and I needed to get out the house, so I went to the coffee shop a few blocks where I lived. Tugging my hoodie closer, I looked around. 

A middle-aged couple holding hands, a family of 4 playing around, a man reading a book on the park bench which was near the coffee shop, a mysterious but familiar figure walking in the coffee shop, a-... Wait! She looked familiar! She had black hair in a ponytail, a blue and grey stripped sweater, black leggings, with a black scarf, and with dark brown boots. The outfit didn't catch my eye, it was her face. I caught a glimpse of them, but I could totally tell she had beautiful brown skin and dark brown eyes like the girl I-... Was it her?

I ran, trying to get to the door that was opened in time, trying to catch her in time. But as soon as I got into the shop, I looked around and she was sitting in the back  of the coffee shop. She still looked like a goddess after all these years. I sound like a stalker right now, but please understand if you meet a attractive stranger years ago, your heart would beat really fast if you saw them again. I must've stood there like an idiot because a couple of guys told me to move out the way. How should I go over her? What should I say? She looked up and I blushed. Raising an eyebrow in confusion, she made a motion to come over to her.

I slowly picked up my feet and walked over to her. After sitting down in a chair in front of her, we both said nothing for about 10 seconds. Then, she spoke,

"Uh... hey? You stood in the doorway like you saw your parents getting slaughtered by a psychopath. What do you want?" She asked, a little annoyed. I almost wanted to die. My mouth was dry and I tried to get some words out.

"Ummm... I don't know if you remember this, but... we", my words were getting quieter, "we met in that alleyway, about... ummm... maybe..-" I heard a chuckle. I looked up and she had a smile on her face. I was confused by this. Why was she chuckling? "I'm totally joking with you Luke, I know who you are. I could never forget the cute face I saw years ago" She chuckled, leaving me blushing. She remembered my name! I let out a sigh of relief.

"So, she continued, "How about we start over? When I didn't leave out in the open that night when a drug dealer could've been after your boy holes?" She chuckled again at her own joke, which I giggled and nodded. She stuck her hand out.

"I'm Blossom Cage and you are?" She gestured. I shook her hand. "My name is Luke Winters" I smiled. I'm glad I met this mysterious girl once again.
