Chapter Two: When We Meet Again

...My mind wanders to the day I had met him....

...I recall the conversations that had taken place....

...The chances of reuniting are distinctly slim....

...Though, I'll still check by the bench — at our quiet space....

...----------------...

...Yes, I walked to the park again, just wishing to see him once....

...I sat there on that same bench, on that space where I had been....

...The breeze whispering coldly, giving me slight goosebumps....

...At least I had my jacket on, it kept me warm as I stayed keen....

...----------------...

...I didn't stay there 'til sunset, I waited a few minutes then left....

...I made my way to the garden — I loved the flowers truly....

...I admired their colors, trying to see which one suited me best....

...Until I saw a Hydrangea and a lovely Blue Daisy, subconsciously reminding me of Xavier's mismatched beauty....

...----------------...

...As I looked at the two flowers that swayed with grace....

...I took a picture to capture the beauty I had once before seen....

...I smile, recalling how Xavier's eyes sparkled due to the Sun's embrace....

...I look up to find the clouds floating through the crystal blue sky — soon invisible, becoming unseen....

...----------------...

...As I sit there, my mind seems to wander to the thought of Xavier....

...His smile is one so sweet, his eyes are ever so unique, his aura friendly and calm — a charming person who stole my heart....

...I still ponder on our next encounter — whenever that may be....

...I smile at the lovely memory, "I hope this is a start."...

...----------------...

...As the days fly on by, Xavier never leaves my mind....

...I remember the gaze we shared, one that caused butterflies....

...Our conversations were memorable — our ideas intertwined....

...This growing feeling of love feels impossible to suppress — when it can only rise....

...----------------...

...I decide not to reminisce too much, I have no desire to feel obsessed....

...I put on my cozy jacket and walk to the neighborhood café....

...I hum a familiar melody, one which can be expressed....

...Soon, I reach the café — a peaceful place to be today....

...----------------...

...I walk into this homely area, the fragrant aroma is pleasing....

...As I make my way to a table, I expect something imminent....

...As if on cue, my purse slips out through my fingers....

...I pick it up in a hurry, brushing shoulders with someone on accident....

...----------------...

...I occupy a table, placing my jacket next to me....

...I reach for the menu, skimming through options to eat....

...A waitress approaches me, her demeanor as polite as can be....

...She then takes my order and I sit there patiently....

...----------------...

...My eyes wander to the window as I watch the scenes outside....

...The cars are moving swiftly, the people walking carefully....

...There are funny scenes and wholesome scenes — a smile I cannot hide....

...The atmosphere feels so calming because everything fits naturally....

...----------------...

...A few minutes pass in a blink of an eye, the waitress setting my meal down....

...I tell her, "Thank you." my smile genuine and kind....

...I enjoy my meal, loving every second — this is the best place in town....

...Done, my satiation satisfied — now paying for the meal was on my mind....

...----------------...

...A cleaner arrives to take my plate as I walk to the cashier....

...After the payment, I walk out of the lively place....

...Once outside, the breeze dances past me, "Did my jacket disappear?"...

...I step back into the comforting area, walking to the table I was by — my jacket wasn't there which struck fear on my face....

...----------------...

...A tap on my shoulder eased my panic as soon as I turned around....

...Xavier was standing before me with my jacket and a smile....

...He asked me, "Is this yours?" his words somehow leave me spellbound....

...I nod, taking back my jacket as I gaze at him since it's been a while....

...----------------...

...Again, we're both standing there our eyes never breaking contact....

...I'm seeing his beauty for the second time, and I've never been so amazed....

...I want to say something to him, but hesitation is what I can attract....

...Until he takes a step closer, his eyes twinkling with realization....

...----------------...

..."It's you." Xavier said, his smile now bright....

...My lips nearly part to reply until a faint 'Xavier!' is heard in the distance....

..."My friends are calling me," he said, "It was great seeing you again." Xavier leaves to join his friends and I smile at the site....

...I exit the sweet café, wearing my jacket as I walk home, "What a lovely coincidence."...

...----------------...

...As I look at the sunset reflecting off my window, I feel rather content....

...The feelings I had felt today were some I could not explain....

...I say it's a lovely coincidence — a day well spent....

...Who could've known that today at the café would be when we meet again....
