GREENWICH VILLAGE, 1994.
lucia had just stepped in the atm vestibule when suddenly the lights went out then flickered back on. "oh great! this is just." lucia turned her head in the direction of the man that had just spoken. he stopped in the middle of his sentence when he realized that he wasn't alone.
"we're locked in?" the man nodded and went to the back of the vestibule. lucia ran a hand through her hair, trying to figure out what to do.
great, i'm stuck with a stranger in a crappy vestibule instead of being on date. maybe this guy has some coins, should i ask him? maybe i shouldn't. he could kill me, couldn't he? stop freaking out lucia, the guy isn't going to kill you. if anything, he's more scared of you than you are of him. lucia chuckled at her thoughts, earning a glare from the guy.
"hey, excuse me, do you have 20cents? i really need to make a call. i have to cancel a date since we're stuck here for god knows how long." she finally asked. this guy really reminds me of someone, i just can't remember who.
"um, yeah, sure." he rummaged trough his pocket until he finally found the 20cents she asked for. "here ya go."
chandler watched as the girl made her way to the payphone. the phone, why didn't he think of that earlier. "jack? hi, it's lucia.. i'm sorry but i'm won't be able to make it tonight.. no, no, I'm stuck in a atm vestibule.. no i'm not alone.. no i don't know who he is.. yeah.. ok, i'll call you tomorrow.. bye." he was pretty sure that he knew her, but he just couldn't remember from where.
after she ended the call, she let herself slide down the wall, sitting on the floor. a few minutes went by before she spoke again. "hey, do we happen to know each other or something?"
"i was thinking the same actually, maybe we saw each other somewhere ya know." she nodded, watching him sitting in front of her. "you live in the village?"
"yep, do you?" lucia nodded, again, trying to remember what she did the previous months. she doesn't go out a lot, except when she works. suddenly, something came up in her mind. "oh wait! aren't you a friend of joey? chester or something? "
"actually it's chandler but yes-yes i'm his friend! when did we meet?" chandler was making big gestures with his arms which made the girl quite unconfortable, but she didn't say anything.
"a few months ago, i was looking for a lighter and i saw you smoking so I was going to ask if I could use it, then joey saw me and invited me to have coffee with you guys and then this guy, the one who works with dinosaurs started ranting about his job for what felt like a century."
