I continuously look around, and act like I'm on my phone, in the hopes of him not seeing me. Why is it always Jack? Why can't I run into Jake like this all the time?
"Jessica!" He said loudly. I looked around but avoided looking in his direction, acting like I didn't see him.
"Jessica." He said, walking up to the table.
Great. I thought.
"Oh, Jack, hi"
"Are you alone?" He asked.
"Yes. I'm just eating before I go home."
"Sweet. Mind if I join?"
"I guess not."
"Thanks. So your going home? What were you doing today?" I contemplated telling him what happened.
"I just rested most of the day, and just got done taking a walk and some photos."
"Nice. I just got done with a run myself. And like I said, if your wanting to exercise more, I will gladly be your trainer."
"Thank you"
"So you were resting all day? Why?"
Great. I was afraid he was going to ask that.
"I just had a long night is all."
"Oh, really." He said, leaning forward, "What kind of a long night?"
"It's not like that. I was just out all night."
"Oh, I see. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine."
We continued talking for the next five minutes. And it sounds strange now, but I was somewhat enjoying his company. He wasn't being weird our creepy, just talking and listening. It was nice.
"What did you order?" He asked.
"I got a hot ham and cheese sub."
"Sweet. I got a cheeseburger." Everything was going fine. We continued talking until our food came.
"Here's your sub and here's your cheeseburger. Enjoy." Right as the waitress was about to walk away, Jack asked her something I will never understand.
"Excuse me, could I get some syrup, please?"
"Umm, ok." She said.
"What do you need syrup for?" I ask, smiling, thinking he will give me a funny response.
"I like syrup on my cheeseburger."
"Eww." I say, "That sounds gross" Then he said something that I will never forget.
"I like a lot of things that are gross...because I'm a sick person." I continued looking at him looking at him, taking a deep breath. I suddenly had a flashback to that night when that guy told me the same thing.
Could it really have been him? I thought. It would make sense on how he knew everything about me and Jake. Why didn't I recognize his voice then? I guess he could've changed it. If it was him, he obviously didn't want me to know it was him. But why would he have done it in the first place? I mean, we've met before, we could've just talked.
