She hung up her phone and took her coat which was hanging at the back of the chair. Leonard sat there curious of how things had just taken a turn and she seemed worried.
"Hey are you okay." he scooted closer to her.
"Yes,I'm sorry. But I have to go." She took a last sip of her drink. All that hse was told in the call seemed to have changed everything. She immediately had to forget about her heart break and all her problems cause all that mattered was that she reached her sisters place.
"My sister...." she said in a shakey voice.
"Hey, how am I...." she cut him off.
"I hope to see you again." And that was the last thing she said to him. He was left there with no phone number to call her or text her cause in all this. He didn't even know where she live or even her surname to mahbe loom for her or where she worked .He felt like he was the one who had been hooked that she had been.
Why did he feel like he wanted this perfectly imperfect stranger to stay longer . Was it because his heart beat differently when she sat next to him and he loved the commotion she caused when she just came into the bar. Her scent made his intestines dissolve the moment he took it in.
He sat there for some time thinking of how his life has been since the last time he had loved or felt what love was like. He wondered what loving a person would be like after so long of hating the idea of temporary having someone that you were later going to loose. Especially when the ones you love will be the ones who take them from you.
His sweet Valerie. What could have things been if that had never happened. The memories of when he found her sweet Valerie having another man between her where he knew was his place. Where he loved getting lost while he loved her all night. And what made it worse was that the man who was there was his own cousin and he had been the fool all along.
The next time her mother doesn't like the perosn he is dating and if that persons is your sister's friend he is going to leave them cause he's not putting himself in the position he's in right now. He gets to see his cousin with his high shcool sweetheart during family gatherings. And that memory plays over and over again.
After a couple of minutes of thinking about everything that had happenes and how he had felt a connection with this young lady he was never going to see here. He called the bartender to pay his bill.
"Hey mate, can I ask you a question?" he called the bartender as he was about to turn continue with his work.
"Yeah sure what?"
"The woman that just left here?"
"What about her?"
He was hasitant about asking the bartender cause he didnt want to seem desperate." Umm never mind ."
"He put his wallet into his pocket and stood up ready to leave."
"She's a regular."He stopped and looked back at him and listened and the bartender let out a light smile knowing pretty well what he wanted to ask. "She usually comes here with her sister and friend. You should try comeing here more often you might see her again."
"Thanks man." he let out a chuckle to how he could have read his mind.
"You're welcome."
"Have a good one."
"You too."
He left the bar and stopped out of the cold night and felt a chill nip at his skin. He quickly rushed into his car and drove off. He opened his music on the back round as he played that nights events in his head before the buzzing of his phone disturbed him.
He let out a heavy sigh as he lookes at the caller ID and it was at the his friend and he knows what he wants when he calls during this time of the night and took it anyways.
A panicking voice was speaking on tbe other side of the phone and the was noise too at the background. "Hey I know that no more favours but this is the last one, I swear."
"Is it because I'm the only one that doesn't have a life or what You know I need my won time too. You can't keep on doing this to me Theodore"
"No I'm at work it's just that there has been three accidents and our hands are full. They are so many people here and we need one more doctor."
"How bad is it?" He siad letting out a sigh knowing that after aksing this question he had no option but to rush there.
"It's horrible. It's the last time. I swear." He sounded desperate and he knew that even in all the times he had asked for favours. And this was his befriend so he was not going to let him strees when she could do something about it.
