"Hey Vee, I love you. I got to go. Talk later." I hang up and pretend like I am going to slide past him to go to the bathrooms but as soon as I make the turn to go to the bathroom I turn into the back area of the café. People in the back see me and start in about how I am not supposed to be here. But I know what to say, I've had to do this before - sadly.
"I think someone's following me. Is there any way I can slip out the back? I'm so sorry for any trouble."
The girl, who I assume is the manager, hesitates for only a second before ushering me to the back of the building and opening the back door.
"Thank you," I whisper because it feels like a time when I should.
"No problem. Be safe," she whispers back before closing the door. I wait a moment before going around the side of the building to go back to the sidewalk giving him plenty of time to get good and distracted.
When I'm in the front, I turn down the side that won't take me back in front of the window. Not stupid. I feel pretty confident about the fact that the guy isn't going to pop out the front door and come running after me. And it's kind of unfortunate too. I mean he was being creepy but he was the first guy who made me actually take notice of him. The first man who made me want to have a conversation with him.
No matter how sad I am I'm also pretty damned proud that I can dodge him. I might even start whistling, well I would if I could but I can't whistle, so maybe I'll just start humming.
Then it all goes to shit.
