From Two Different Worlds

Lunch Meeting Take Two!

(This chapter mostly going to be in Mike's point of view)

Mike POV:

  As I get ready to meet Angie at her school for lunch I was starting to get a little bit nervous I didn't know why. I looked in the mirror I decided on a button down shirt and jeans. I looked at my phone to see the time I am a ready little bit early so I decided to leave early so I can find a parking spot.

20 minutes later:

   I got lucky in a parking spot which is not far away from the school, I look at my watch and see that I am ten minutes early 'sweet! Now I can find a place to sit and wait for her.' I looked around the park to find a place to sit so she can see me I finally found a sit right in front of where the school is at. As I sat there I was looking up places to eat one place caught my eye it was an Italian food just down the block from the school 'Maybe she might like going there?' I thought to myself "HEY!" I hear someone shouting I look up and there was Angie wearing her pin-up clothes but this time it was casual clothing. I had to admit that she looks very attractive I get up from the bench and meet her halfway. "Hey, you! Did you get here okay?" She asked me I nod my head yes "Yeah I got here a little bit early so I can find parking, are you hungry?" She nods her head yes I told her that there is Italian place we can go to, she was totally down to some Italian food.  

   As we are walking to the restaurant I can tell that she is carrying an artwork folder "Is that your artwork folder?" I asked her while I was pointing at it, "It is actually I try to draw when I can so I carry it was ever I can, I actually wanted to take it yesterday to the lunch event but I convince myself not to." I can tell that she is being shy and embarrassed I couldn't help it but to smile. "Well if you like you can draw me and add it to your collection." I see Angie stop walking for a moment I can tell that she was completely shocked "REALLY? YOU REALLY MEAN IT!" I started to laugh I and I nod my head yes, I watch her jump around out of joy "YAY! I GET TO DRAW MY FAVORITE ARTIST!" I start to blush a bit when she said that, she stopped dancing and started to walk fast to the restaurant "LET'S GO! LUNCH AND DRAWING Are WAITING!" I started to burst out laughing when she said that I couldn't control my laughter I thought she was being cute and funny at the same time. Angie started laughing too because how funny she was being, we finally reached the restaurant the host sat us at a table near the window. 

   As we sat there looking at the menu I couldn't help but notice a scar on Angie's hand "Hey Angie what happen to your hand?" After me saying that I watch her slowly moved her hand out of sight. I can tell something happen and she didn't want talk about it. So I decided to change the subject I asked her why she wanted to do fashion as a career. "Well you see I love to draw and if I can draw clothes that someone would wear or buy then that would make me happy. Plus it is nice to bring back the Victorian style."

   As the lunch continue I can tell that I and Angie had few things in common, which kinda surprise me since she is so young. "Say Mike are you and the band on tour right now?" I finish what I was eating before responding to her question. "Actually we are not right now why you ask?" I can tell she starting to get shy around me. I watch her place the fork down on the plate and has her head down. "Well you see there is an event this weekend and I was wondering if you and band would like to come and support me and my band." I can that she is ready for me to say no to her question, I start to giggle which made her look up with a confused look on her face. "Let me ask the band tomorrow okay, send me the info on the event sounds good." She nods her head in agreement.

One Hour Later:

   We just finished our lunch Angie and I agree on taking a walk around to work off the food. As we are talking I feel relax and calm around her, it felt like everything that was bugging me has now disappeared. Then I remember the poem she sent me the night before "By the way Angie thank you for sending me that poem, it definitely gave me courage." She looks at me and gives me a sweet smile of hers "Of course, I remember that poem helping me through hard times say Mike were you serious about me drawing you?" I start to laugh and I told her that I was, as we continue walking and talking about everything my phone goes off. I look who it was and it was Chester.

Me: Hey man what's up?

Chester: Hey dude are you coming into the studio today? Brad and Dave have some new rifts for the songs.

Me: Yeah I will be there in 20 minutes or so I am still with Angie.

Chester: Well then dude take your time!!! I will see you whenever you come in wink. Later!

  I just shook off what he just said I can't think of dating right now I have music to write and band to be part of. I look at Angie and she can tell that I have to leave soon. She asks me if I could walk her back to the school which I did. We finally made it to the school "Thanks for walking me back Mike I will definitely send you the info on the event this weekend. I am not sure if I give you a hug or a handshake haha."
 
   I know she being polite so I thought why not a hug so I open my arms wide to give her a hug. She came into my arms and hugs me back. I couldn't help it but enjoy the hug it felt like she knew the pain I was going through and it will be okay to be happy now. We let go of each other and said goodbye I watch her walk away then stop to turn around to look at me. "By the way, Mike don't let what happen to you and Anna stop you from finding your true happiness. I haven't let my last relationship stop me from finding mine." After she said that she turned around and continue walking to her car. Her words hit my heart hard as if she just broke down all the walls I have built around me these past months. I knew that the words Angie said were the words I wanted to hear for so long. I knew right there and then that I wanted Angie to stay in my life, not as a friend but because she knows the pain to well. I started walking to my car I kept smiling because of the words she said.
