My feelings for her certainly hadn't changed.
Since I was so damn early to wake up, I killed some time. I took a long shower, then I made myself breakfast and ate. There was still plenty of time, so I went to find my phone. I didn’t need to, I had a perfectly good memory, but I had everything I wanted to do today in my phone, just in case.
I had the perfect date planned. One guaranteed to get me the results I wanted, and what I wanted was for Alessandra to give our relationship, and me, another chance.
Whoever this new person is in her life doesn’t matter. As long as she loves me, it’s fine.
I thought that, but I was still incredibly anxious. I didn’t know who this person was. Finding out would be a piece of cake, but then I’d have to invade Alessandra’s privacy, and I knew she would hate me for that. It was the one reason that had held me back from hiring a private investigator to find her for me before.
Luckily, I didn’t, and we met by coincidence, anyway.
“She should be awake now,” I murmured to myself after some time.
We hadn't specified when we’d be meeting today, but I planned to take her out early and let her go back home late. If I could, I’d just get her to come back with me, but that would depend on how the day went.
A couple of hours had passed since I woke up, and I decided to send her a message to let her know we’d be starting early. Sometimes, I did work at the office on weekends, but I’d finished anything important yesterday, and I didn’t need to go in until Monday, so I could enjoy the weekend thoroughly.
Minutes after texting her good morning, my phone vibrated with a reply.
I’m up! When are we headed out?
I grinned to myself and replied.
How about eleven? No need to bring anything. Dress semi-formal, warm.
I didn’t have to wait long before she sent her okay.
I had showered already but put on comfortable clothes. I headed back to my room to get changed and dressed for our date. I wanted her to be dressed warm and semi-formal for tonight, but I couldn’t go out with a full suit. The day was friendly enough, and I’d look ridiculous considering the places I wanted us to go.
As a compromise, I pulled on a light blue shirt that Wendy had told me complimented my eyes well, and a pair of dark slacks. I picked a dark blue blazer and pulled it on, then went to check myself out in the mirror. I left the top buttons of the shirt undone.
Dressed, I went to find socks and shoes. I still had time, but I was too eager to keep waiting. Then something occurred to me, and I picked up my phone and fired off a text.
Text me the address, I wrote.
Alessandra and I knew a lot about each other, I’d even met her parents before, but I had never been to her new house. I never questioned it back, because it was her business, but I regretted not asking when she walked out on me.
I’ll meet you, she replied.
I frowned. It wasn’t the response I wanted, but maybe she didn’t want me to meet her parents. Since she never spoke to me since we parted ways, I had no idea how her parents had taken the whole situation, though I could guess it wasn’t happy.
All right. Let’s meet in an hour.
I specified the where, and after a short back and forth, we decided. I went around the room and wasted a bit of time. I tried to style my hair instead of just pushing it back like I always did, but gave up on that quickly. I checked my watch collection and picked one to wear.
With nothing else to
do, I decided to leave the house. I might as well drive around before I arrived at our meeting spot, and I did just that. The roads were fairly empty, so there wasn’t even traffic to distract me. Every few minutes, I’d keep checking the time and wonder why it didn’t seem to be moving.
Finally, ten minutes to our meet time, I headed for the agreed spot. We were meeting at the park, not far from the place where we met again just a few weeks ago. I parked the car, then waited.
I didn’t see her around, so I must have been the first to arrive. I sent her a text to let her know where I was. Not long after, there was a knock on my window that startled me, and when I looked outside, there she was, smiling at me and waving through the glass. Quickly, I opened the door.
“You came?”
She arched an eyebrow. “You say that like you didn’t expect me to show up at all.”
“No, no,” I said quickly. “You don’t play games like that. Should we go?”
