I was sleeping so good until I'm awakened by my alarm buzzing in my ear. I peel open my eyes turning over smacking the alarm with a grunt. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I climb out of bed and stumble to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
I have been working with my dad, helping him manage 2 Miami nightclubs. Club space and shotz nightclub. Occasionally I help bartend when needed. Stepping out of the bathroom I pad over to the closet pulling out a dark grey suit with a pale blue button up shirt to wear under and a tie to match. I have a meeting about the club's at my dad's office at noon. I take one last glance in the full length mirror adjusting my tie as my phone buzzes on the bar across the apartment.
I pick up my phone and notice I have several missed texts from my boy Alex.
Alex- "Hey dude what's up?"
"You still going to the Sarah's party with me tonight?"
Me-"yea, what time you wanna meet up?"
Alex- " I will be at your place at 7pm."
Me- " Sounds good."
The meeting goes as expected, my dad stops me as I'm about to head out. " have a good 2 weeks off son!" He said with a nod of his head. "You have been working so hard lately, you deserve it". He says as the corner of his mouth turns up into a half smile.
"Thanks dad I plan to let loose a little and relax mostly." I said as I opened the door to my candy apple red Ferrari.
It's been almost a year since I had more than a day off. I have been saving money to hopefully get out of my apartment and buy a beach house. I haven't even really had time for women. Aside from the occasional hookup it's been 2 years since I have been in a relationship. I broke up with my highschool girlfriend a couple weeks before I left for miami. I wasn't really into her anyways. I have been taking a few online business courses also so between work and school i haven't had any down time.
I slide into the seat of my car starting the engine. I have roughly 2 hours before Alex is supposed to meet me. Enough time to run home, shower, and throw on some more casual clothing for tonight.
My phone buzzes as I pull into my parking space. I grab my phone and glance at it. It's my mom.
Mom- "Hey honey, hope your doing okay?"
Me- "yes mom, I'm doing fine"
Mom-"I know you have been busy with school and the club." Me-"you have no idea!"
Mom- "I ran into Harleys mom the other day, she mentioned Harley was spending spring break in Miami with some friends from school, maybe you guys will run into each other?"
The mention of Harley sends a shock through me. I hadn't completely forgotten her but I have been so busy that I hadn't though about her in quite a while.
Me- "how is she, I haven't heard from her since I moved away."
Mom-"She's great, I know she misses you, I saw her a few months back when she was home on fall break, she asked how you were doing."
Me- "what did you tell her?"
Mom- "just that it had been a while since I saw or heard from you, I have to go for now enjoy your spring break son."
Shit, what if I run into her this week? What will I say to her, after not speaking to her for 2 years it's surely going to be awkward. Me- "I will, love you mom!"
Mom- "If you need anything don't hesitate to call, love you!"
I close our messages and sit there momentarily, remembering the last time I saw her and all the memories come rushing back. I always thought Harley was pretty but she kind of awkward at times. We grew up together and I always thought of her as a friend. We sort of grew apart over the years, I gained popularity, and she sort of faded into the background. She wasn't an outkast but she wasn't popular. She had her group of artsy/musical friends and wasn't into sports much. Being the captain of the football team and the star quarter back in highschool I was always busy and we just stopped hanging out. Not to mention I had plenty of attention from all the popular girls. I had a new girl every month it seemed. I sigh and let out a soft chuckle. Ahh those were the days!
It was 6:50 when Alex pulled up and I had spent the last hour showering, and putting on some more casual attire. I packed a small bag as well in case we decide to stay over somewhere. Just a few changes of clothes and some swim trunks. "Let's get this show on the road!" I exclaim as I motion for Alex to jump in the ferrari. Alex comes around the car and climbs in with a smile.
