It all started at the cafe

A Tango With Destiny

(^ Up top is the song I was listening to when writing this chapter)

Freya's POV
I was walking down rodeo drive when I saw my favorite cafe and decided to grab something to eat. After all I was on my lunch break might as well make the best of it. I walk in and a cool breeze awakens me from the California heat. I go straight to the line and look at the menu. I decide to get an Iced green tea and a chicken sandwich. Once I'm done I turn around to walk out when I see him. The man I tried to forget all these years. And let me tell you it was VERY hard getting over him. But I somehow accomplished it. But I felt all my hard work slipping away just by one look. Fuck me! Now I'm wondering whether I should go say hi or just leave. After a few minutes of arguing with myself I decide to go up to him. Hoping that I won't regret it in the end. I walk up to his table and say the words daring to spill from my lips. Nick is that you? His soft brown eyes look into mine and I feel my heart skip a beat. I curse myself damn you heart now you want betray me!!

It takes him a minute to recognize me which I understand.  It's  been a while and I've changed drastically since high school.

Freya? Freya Jameson, is that you? Wow it's been awhile. How have you been?

I've been great, how about you? How's life after high school?

Pretty good for me at least.  Finally getting a move on life I guess.

How's life been for you? Oh, pretty hectic but other than that really great.  So what do you do for work?

I am a computer software scientist. I know very nerdy but I love it.

Oh wow such a great career compared to mine. I am a journalist for the la magazine, nothing too crazy.

Are you kidding? That sounds like a great job. It also means your a talented writer maybe I will look it up and read your stuff  sometime.

Oh no you don't have to I write nothing special or interesting.

I bet you do. But hey I got to run my lunch break is almost over. Here is my number maybe we can hang sometime and you can tell me all about you amazing job.

Freya's POV

I watch as he writes his number down and my palms begin to sweat at the thought of even calling or texting him. I feel myself about to panic even more but he sends me a friendly smile. And his dreamy brown eyes encase me even more I swear I felt like I was gonna faint any minute.

He hands me his number and grips my shoulder as a friendly gesture but to me it felt like more.  He says bye then walks away as he is heading out the door I turn just in time to see it happen.

I stand there for two minutes wondering what even just happened. I immediately race back to the office to tell one of my besties the news. The whole time my thoughts are filled of things of the past and present. And I'm thinking of how this could have happened.
