I want see you

Lorenzo

It’s been a long time

Lorenzo

I miss you

Some things hadn’t changed. He still sent multiple messages with a few words, when it could just fit into one message and one sentence.

Focus. He’d just asked if I wanted to see him. And he said he missed me again. Shit. The plan was only to message him, not to meet. Surely I was playing with fire…

Come on, Sophia. Remember MAP point number seven, to embrace all opportunities?

Yes, Reasanna. But after the shit he pulled before, which resulted in me becoming a pathetic mess, was it worth giving him a second chance? He certainly didn’t deserve it. And what about Charlie? Wouldn’t that be wrong?

What have you got to lose by giving him a second chance? It’s not like you’re flying to Italy. You can call the shots. Arrange to meet at a time and place that suits you. Give him half an hour of your time, and if you don’t like what he’s saying, then leave. And as for Charlie, technically you’re on a break. Plus, you’re only going to see Lorenzo to say hello and hear what he has to say for himself, aren’t you? Okay, probably not… but if you meet somewhere public, then that will help keep you honest and out of trouble. At least temporarily…

Seriously? You’re asking what I’ve got to lose?Erm, my sanity. My self-respect… Isn’t that enough, Reasanna?As for public places keeping me out of trouble, I didn’t seem to have any problems with PDA with Vincenzo, and he was nowhere near as hot as Lorenzo, so I wasn’t sure I agreed with that. But, yes, Iwason a break from Charlie and, yes, Lorenzo was in London and if I met him on my terms, then Isupposedit could work, if it was only half an hour out of my day…

Me

Maybe we could meet. Let me know when and where you had in mind and I’ll check my diary to see if it’s convenient.

Lorenzo

Tomorrow I have a day off

Lorenzo

You free?

Lorenzo

Don’t know. I am new to London

Lorenzo

You have ideas of where to go?

Lorenzo

I don’t mind

Lorenzo

Wherever you want

Tomorrow? When I’d asked, I hadn’t thought he’d want to meet so soon…

If this was six months ago, I would have jumped at the chance, but it had taken me a long time to get over things with him. Not that we were in a relationship or anything serious, but despite what Reasanna said about going and hearing what he has to say, I had to be careful about jumping back into something like that again and risking getting hurt.

Embrace life, Sophia. You owe it to Albert’s memory. Remember: MAP.

Well, IsupposedIcouldmake it, then. The team were self-sufficient, so leaving work on time wouldn’t be a problem. At least then we could get meeting up over and done with, and then I could just move on and forget about him again. I don’t want to meet too late, though. And it needed to be fairly close the office to minimise inconvenience.
