When We Started

At my favorite café named 'Je t'aime' I sat on my favorite table with a marvelous sea view where the sea was storming against the wind as if she were shouting to be heard..
just like how I felt.
It was so cold that I couldn't feel my face but that wasn't the issue, the wind was tickling every piece of my exposed bare skin though I didn't care with my headphones on, playing my favorite song 'it's you'
Some of my friends thought I was that French romantic guy but it wasn't the case because the truth was I didn't know if I were, I was on my usual self without putting a definition of everything I liked or did. 'Keep it spontaneously' my mom would tell me.
I took a sip of my warm cup of tea with my eyes focusing on the sea in front then put back my hands in my coat.
The smell of the cold air, playing all my senses was making me smile uncontrollably with my eyes closed.Even though everyone in the café chose indoor tables I decided to be the opposite of them and chose the outer one.
'Sometimes you gotta be different to start enjoying your time'
I remembered my favorite quote
It was hers too
So I remembered her
And suddenly I opened my eyes and stopped thinking for a small period of time.
Then I started thinking about her
And her alone as if she were the star of all my thoughts, capturing my mind and soul.
Now she was my worst nightmares.
she just left me.
She left as if we never mattered
Like I never mattered
To her..
I shook my head, erasing her memories again closing my eyes, trying to forget her special perfume, her dimples when she smiled and her freckles enlightening her wide dark eyes.
I steadied myself through all her memories filling the air around me.
She filled such a gap inside me and then left, leaving even a bigger one. I couldn't help myself but open my phone and read our old forgotten conversations.
Her: How was your day?!!
Me: other than our boss is such a crappy human being, it was okay.. a little boring too.
What about yours?!
Her: it was exhausting mostly, we had a lot of patients today but other than that it was okay.
I miss you ♥️
Me: I miss you too ♥️!
I hate this distance between us.
Her: I know! Me too but we'll fight this, we'll get through it as everything Else 😇. See u soon xo xo

I locked my phone right away, trying to let go of all these tiring feelings and so I threw my phone on the table, covering my face with both hands.
Through the words of the song, I was diving away from her.
I hope you push until you cannot breathe..
I know it might sound strange
But I wish you pain
Andy Grammer's voice playing in the back of my head was interrupted by someone's hand touching my back. It was almost like they were patting me. I turned around spontaneously and smoothly, trying not to sprain any joint.
I took off my head phones to look up, finding a Beautiful woman in her middle twenties with a childish smile on her face,
She said formally, " I'm sorry to bother you but can you let me Borrow your phone for a second I have to call my mom."
I frowned, trying to get along with everything she was saying.
I hated to admit or notice that she was cute in a way with her natural looks, short blond hair just below her ears and her half smile.
I stuttered a little, "ahh, sure!" Giving her my phone.
She stood there, throwing looks between me and the phone in amazement.
"What!" I said, raising my eyebrows and laughing nervously.
"The passcode"
"Oh yeah, sorry. It's 20192"
"Wow, that is so specific" she smirked.
"How would you even know ?"
"Because I could read people... it's my intuition I guess"
"Mmm.."
She then took the phone away putting it on her right ear after dialing the number.
I couldn't help but stare at the way she was moving and twirling spontaneously while being on the phone and her Golden long flowerlike earrings sparking in the dark and dancing around her neck.
I stopped staring and left her make the phone call in peace but every now and then I turned to see her to notice her flowery colorful clothes. However, I couldn't tell exactly what she was wearing because of the dark dimmed area but it seemed to have a sense or touch of fun and freedom just like her childish soul.
I could feel she was something else.
She returned back after few minutes, with my phone and smile was already decorating her face.
Without saying or even informing me, she sat on the seat on the opposite side of mine, crossing her legs and giving me a view of the sea with her on the front.
What a great beautiful view!
"Thank you for the phone call." She gave me back the phone and continued, " Also Don't give your passcode to a stranger, I might've hacked your phone by now. There is something called emergency calls without unlocking your phone." She smiled childishly.
So did I
"I'll remember next time, thanks"
"And here's a chocolate too from me" she left it on the table on my side and then stood up.
"You're a stranger! I can't take it, you might want to drug me or something" I said, playing with her rules.
She leaned towards me but leaving enough distance too, offering her hand "Hi, I'm Abby, nice to meet you! See we aren't strangers anymore."
She was bold, I gave her that.
I shook her hand, trying to contain my laughter, "I'm Samuel! You too" and by that she left.
I could guess from the way she was walking that she was a great dancer.
she was something else.
I couldn't just forget her hazel eyes looking at me and the colors of the moon shining and reflecting her gleamy natural face.
And her smile!
That was hard to get rid of or forget.
I connected the headphone back to the phone and unlocked my phone to notice something so weird and unusual.
The wallpaper was different!
She had changed the wallpaper of my phone into multicolored flowers just like her clothes and earrings were.
Just like her flowery soul!
I was smiling then
And for the rest of the evening, I didn't think about Maya
instead I thought about the flowery girl, Abby!
The one that just touched my heart with her flowery self.
I then realized.
I didn't know how or when I'd see her again, If ever again!!
However
I let Fate play its own game.
I accepted the challenge.
