Reese blew the horn of his blue Cadillac. Calm wouldn't be the word used to describe the young man slumped in the driver's seat. Nervous would be more apt. However when AJ stepped out in jeans and a polo shirt, he was the spitting image of cool, calm and collected.
"Hey you," he said as she got into his car.
"Hi," she flashed him a smile. "Thanks for doing this again."
"No prob" he started the car.
AJ whispered a quick prayer to heaven and then they were off. The glasses were rolled up and they were sitting in enjoyable air-condition, not that AJ was enjoying it, it was really the life.
"So why do you that,"
"Huh!" AJ turned to face the brunette beside her, "do what?"
"You say some stuff when you get into the car before we can set off. Is it a charm or something cause then I won't feel bad jumping out and leaving you in here by yourself."
She laughed, just a small one, and Reese was pleased.
"I was praying," she noticed the slightly blank look on his face and continued. " I like to ask God to protect me and help me do as He wills before I leave."
"Ah, I see." He was confused 'why would a pretty girl like her believe in a God that couldn't possibly be there?' It wasn't possible scientifically and they both were science students. 'So why did she?' Why did it bother him so?
"So where to Monsieur?" She asked him with the slightest of smiles adorned on her face
"Well Mademoiselle, we are off to the campus first then to your church hunting. Sound good?"
"Great," she replied.
They laughed.

"So how did you find the tour?" Reese asked when they got to the car after the tour."It wasn't that great," she drawled out with a twinkle in her dark eyes. "Maybe it was the tour guide."
"Hey!" Reese exclaimed. He shoved her shoulder lightly.
AJ laughed, " let's go church hunting."
She pulled out her phone after another whisper prayer. Her fingers stared flying over the screen while Reese adjusted his sunglasses and smoothed down his hair.
"Do you know where Dowe is?" She asked.
"Yeah."
"So..." She motioned forward with her hands.
"Oh right," he chuckled and started the car.

After 15 minutes of driving, the blue, shiny Cadillac pulled into the out skirts of Dowe."Well this church is found on 5th avenue, Madri street. Do you know where that is?"
"Yeah, are you sure this is your first time in Cera?"
