7:51 AMnotice me.
is there an option where i don't have to?
no, obviously.
yeah, stupid of me to ask such a question.
yes, you are stupid.
i think you outplayed me there.
i did.
you know, life is filled with coincidences.
yay a free philosophy lesson. great way to start a day.
a great way indeed.
what are you talking about anyway?
its just that i saw someone yesterday.
wanna guess who?
yo mamma?
no, you lose.
okay, whom did you see yesterday?
roses are red, violets are blue.
oh great.
seven billion people on this world,
but i saw you.
even though that poem is kind of cute,
i don't believe you for one second.
you work at that starbucks near johns bar.
omygosh you did see me. did i serve you??
no. i just happened to be passing by and glanced upon you.
how do you know it was me tho? you don't know how i look.
like i said before,
im full of surprises, anastasia.
speaking of which, you didn't tell me your real name yet.
id like to keep it that way please.
so you know my name, how i look, where i work.
do you also know where i live?
not yet.
and that's not creepy at all. i should warn you, i've got an overprotective ex.
i just peed my pants a little.
don't take this lightly.
if he knows about you, believe me, he'll hunt you down.
and you like him for that?
to be honest.. not really. probably why i broke up with him.
that explains a few things.
like what?
about what you said two days ago. when you said, and i quote,
drowned yourself in liquor.
you got me there, but i'd really prefer to not talk about it.
i'm sorry for bringing it up.
it's okay, goodbye stranger, for today.
goodbye, but one last thing?
yeah?
you can call me ell.
