“Well,” I slowly spoke.
“Ugh. Stop it! Spit it out!” She grabbed hold of my hands.
“Yesterday, after leaving the hospital, I decided to walk. Where I was walking to, I had no clue. All I knew was that I needed to walk, and I ran into someone on the street.”
“Shit. Don’t tell me it was Grant or your parents.”
“I ran into Drew.”
“Shut up!” She cupped her hands over her mouth. “Drew from Hawaii? Drew that you had sex with?”
“Yes. That would be him.”
“And?”
“We had lunch, went back to my place, had sex, went to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy some dishes, went to dinner, he dropped me off at home, we said goodbye, and then he came back within an hour, spent the night, and then we had sex again this morning.”
“Wait. You threw me off when you said you went to Bed Bath & Beyond.” She laughed.
I shrugged. “We were going to order dinner, but I didn’t have any dishes to eat on. So, we went and bought some. But wait. There’s more, and you’re going to freak the fuck out. Are you ready?”
“Wait. Let me take a deep breath first. Okay. Go.”
“He’s my landlord. I’m his tenant. Go ahead, freak the fuck out now.”
“I’m sorry, what?” she asked in confusion.
“The apartment that I’m renting is his old apartment. I’m renting it from HIM.”
Kristen sat there, staring at me, without even blinking.
“Just hours after you left your fiancé at the altar, you met a man on a plane to Hawaii. You ended up at the same hotel and hung out with him and his girlfriend. He breaks up with his girlfriend, you spend the day together, have sex and then say goodbye. You move to New York, unknowingly rent an apartment that belongs to that man you met on a plane to Hawaii, and run into each other on the street, which neither one of you knew that the other one was here. Correct?”
“Yes. Sounds about right.”
“He’s your soul mate, Jill. All the fucking signs are there.”
“Shut up. I don’t believe in soul mates.”
“You don’t have to believe. The universe led you to him. You were meant to leave Grant on that very day, or else you would have left his dumb ass way before that. But no. It was that day. The day you and Drew were on the same flight to Hawaii.”
“You’re crazy.” I smiled. “It’s all a coincidence. Plus, he wasn’t even supposed to be on my flight. His earlier flight got canceled due to mechanical problems, so the airlines put him on my plane.”
“Ah ha!” she yelled, pointing her finger at me. “And his seat just so happened to be next to yours. Wake up, Jill.” She grabbed hold of my shoulders and lightly shook me. “Drew is the man you’re supposed to be with.”
I rolled my eyes. “I’m not supposed to be with anyone. I’m on a journey to find myself, to know who I am.”
“Duh, and your journey led you to him.”
“But I really hadn’t even started my journey yet when I met him,” I spoke.
“Then he is your journey. Maybe you’re supposed to go on a journey with him.”
“No. That’s ridiculous. I need to journey alone.”
“Ugh. I give up.” She threw her hands up in the air.
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Enough about me. Let’s talk wedding!”
