“What good will cleaning or buying me a new shirt do now? I’ve got a meeting to attend and you’ve. Actually you know what, I’ll get you a new shirt, but I’m really sorry, sincerely.” I apologised but it only made the man angrier. “I’m really sorry sir, I didn’t see you there, I’ll pay for the damages and the dry cleaning. “Just stop! Look at what you’ve done! I’ve got a meeting in 30 minutes and you’ve soiled my shirt!” The man’s voice boomed and I dared myself to look up to see a pair of deep blue eyes staring right at me, fuming with anger. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to bump into you, I’m really sorry!” I rambled,grabbed some napkins from the nearest table and started dabbing at the stain, only for the person to hold my wrist, hot tingles erupting from where he held me. When I looked up to see that I had not only bumped into someone twice, thinking it was a wall, but also spilled coffee on this person’s white dress shirt which was now more brown than white. Just as I was about to regain my footing someone pushed me from behind and I bumped into the wall again and felt a hot liquid trickling down my hands and then heard someone curse. It was only when I bumped into a wall and I fell face forward, but didn’t hit the floor before someone caught me. I kept my head down and pulled my hat and glasses closer to my face so no one would recognize me. this is why I like solitude” I muttered to myself and tried to get out of the huge crowd of people blocking my way. Okay?” I told her I’d call her in the evening and said goodbye to her, aware of the crowd forming in the cafe. You go to work and when you’re done, call me. “Are you sure you don’t want me to stay with you? There’s really no problem, I can go to the office later.” I asked Taylor, but she only smiled. I got up from our table after finishing my coffee and told Taylor that I had to go to the office regarding some designing, to which she told me that she had some work to finish anyway and would stay here a little longer. I could hear the people chatting, laughing and talking and I wished it could’ve been quiet for a while longer. When we finally stopped, we looked around to see the previously empty cafe now busy with people. “I don’t-I don’t think there’s anyone worse, B.” Taylor struggled to say all the while holding herself from falling down from laughing. They’re like Olivia, but like a male version, and even worse.” I shuddered, when Taylor looked at me for a few seconds before we both started laughing hysterically. “I know Tay, but I’m in no mood for wasting my time on dating useless men with an inflated ego. Move on, find someone who’ll actually love you and not someone who will run after your money.” I sighed like every time I did when Taylor mentioned him. “Seriously Bels, it’s been like, two years. “I wish one of us could find a man, who loves us for us, takes us out, buys us gifts and then gets jealous too, and sweeps us off our feet.” She sighed again and I nudged her with my elbow and told her to stop daydreaming. We chatted about the usual, the weather, politics, recent changes in the country, and gossiping about Josephine and Olivia.Įvery now and then Taylor would sigh and look out the window dreamily with her chin on her palm. Our bond only grew stronger with each passing day and I was thankful to have her as my friend. My life was far from normal, and Taylor knew everything about me and I about her. Our moms were best friends too, so it was only natural for us to grow so close to each other.Īfter my mom’s death, Taylor’s mom was the next person whom I could call my mother, not that sorry excuse of a human who lounged all day acting oh-so-concerned about me when my dad was around and then didn’t even spare me a glance once he was gone.
Taylor had been my best friend since I was a baby. “They’re back today, why wouldn’t I be happy?” I said, laughing at her reaction as she realised whom I meant then smiled too. “Someone’s giddy today” Taylor exclaimed in a sing-song voice as she sat down on her table with two coffee cups in her hand.
