I could feel the cold air of New York hitting my cheeks while I was walking through the streets of this big city. I've been living here in New York for the last ten years working as an actress on Broadway. Ten years ago, a theatre producer knocked on my door of my house in LA to asked me to cast for a play. Guess what play? Wicked! I got to be the understudy for any of the witches. After a few years of acting as an understudy, the director thought the actress who played Glinda The Good Witch was too old for the part so he offered me the part. So for the past years I've been playing the role of the Good Witch. It's good, I get to live in a great department in Manhattan to blocks from fifth avenue, it's great. Perhaps the only problem is that most of the time I feel lonely in this enormous city. Yes, I have plenty of friends who constantly invite me to parties, I've had several boyfriends, but never something serious. Although I really like my life I sometimes miss my old life in Seattle. Seattle will always be my home. I miss hanging out with Carly, Spencer, and even Freddie. I'm still in contact with Carly, she sometimes comes and visit me or we call each other. But lately not so often, not since she married two years ago with her college boyfriend, Max. And now they just had a beautiful baby girl called Emily. I went to both events but in neither I got to see Freddie. It's been almost 12 years since the last time I saw him... The only thing I know it's that he graduated from MIT and that now he works on the Pear Company as a Technical Designer in LA. Ironic, right? He moved to LA and I moved out to live here.
After walking for several minutes I arrived to my destination. The coffeeshop that's in the Rockefeller Center to grab a cup of hot chocolate and read a little of Jane Austen. What? Can't I read Jane Austen? Yes, I know a little to weird for me to read something as girly as Jane Austen but can I say? New York has made me a little girly, haha.
Oh. My. God.
I can't believe it. Could he be? Nah. Maybe he is. He looks so alike.
"Freddie Benson?" I asked to the man who was sit on the usually spot I sat on. The man looked up and saw me. It was him! OMG!
"Sam? Puckett?" He said getting up from the couch he was in. I couldn't get myself to formulate a coherent answer so I just nodded. A big smile appeared in both of us. He came closer to me and gave me a tight hug which I returned.
"Sam Puckett. I really can't believe it's you. How long has been since the last time?"
"Um" I frowned. My whole body was paralyzed. "Um? I don't know, like elven? Twelve?" I said still frowning. He seemed surprised. Jerk. Like if he didn't know.
"Do you mind if I sit with you?" I asked before I sat in the chair next to the couch he was, dropping the bags I was holding in my hands. I heard him chuckle.
"Of course not" he said after awhile.
Before I could say something my usual waiter came.
"Good morning, Ms. Puckett, do I bring you the usual?" Henry asked me.
"Please Henry" I looked up to Freddie to see that he was a little surprised that I was known here. The silence that fell on us was turning a little awkward. After five minutes Henry came back with my cup of hot chocolate and my cranberry pie.
"So... You live here?" He asked as I took a sip of the hot chocolate. Too hot and now I burned my tongue.
"Shit" I complained. "Yes."
"Here" He said giving me one of the cubes that were in his cup. I looked at him strangely but I accepted the ice anyway.
"Doing what?" He continued asking. I felt how the ice was slowly melting inside my mouth, it was very cold but quite comforting. Mm... The ice tasted a little like cherry.
"Well," i started taking a big breath "I'm an actress here in Broadway and I'm Glinda The Good Witch" I smiled before I took a bite of my pie.
"Are you serious?! Broadway?" I nodded. "Wow. Sam Puckett a Broadway actress, that's impressive." I couldn't help but to smile proudly.
"And what 'bout you? I heard you were working in the Pear Company" I asked. He smile and took a sip from his beverage.
"Um yes. I work there. How did you know? Have you been spying on me?" He asked playfully.
I glared at him and then rolled my eyes "Yes Freddiefer, that's what I do in my free time, I spy on you." I said sarcastically. He only rolled his eyes and laughed.
"You didn't answer my question" he said with confidence. I rolled my eyes.
"Carly told me you were. And to be frank, it was a matter of time for you to be working in that company I always knew you'll end up like that" I said looking into his eyes, those warm and lovely brown eyes. He hadn't changed that much, the only thing that was different was the fact that he no longer dressed like a geek and now he dressed like a total business man, with a suit and a tie. He also hadn't shaved. He looked like a man. He looked hot in that business suit. He certainly wasn't the boy I used to pick on daily basis. He also looked stronger, the shirt he was wearing seemed a little small for him.
He smiled.
"Yeah, that has been my work for the last ten years, it's my dream job." He said.
"I bet it is. So...? I'm not trying to sound rude but what you're doing here in New York?" I asked curious.
"I'm here because I might move here, to New York" my jaw dropped to the floor, literally. He nodded with a big cocky smile knowing why I was so surprised. "Yeah, um, Pear thinks that I might suit well here as the head of Design. And well, the heads of all sections are here in the Big Apple." He explained.
"Oh My God, that's amazing!" I laughed. "I'm amazed, that's awesome." I said happy.
'Beep, beep, beep' sounded the alarm on his watch. We both looked at each other and then he looked at his watch and frowned.
"hey, um I really hate this now, but I gotta go, I've got a meeting, my first one in the city" he grinned and got up I did also and nodded, a little sad actually... It hadn't been more than one hour. At least it was something.
"It's ok, I know it's important" I smiled. "It was great to see you after all these years."
"It really was... Hey, we should totally go to dinner or something!" He said excited. I laughed
"And also you should come to my show" I said winking at him, making him laugh.
"I'm running late! Bye" he said giving me a hug and a kiss on my cheek "I'll call you later" he said before running out the door.
Well, that was certainly a morning to remember... I guess.
Still, I don't know how is he gonna call me if my number is not the same it was ten years ago.
