Spilt Liquor: Chapter 2
Three Days Before
She sipped her coffee slowly but as he appeared through the heavy glass door she leapt out of her seat with nerves. Adam smiled knowingly, she hadn't changed one bit since he had last seen her all of those years ago.
"Kezia, Kezia, Kezia…where have you been?" he asked her, trying to be light hearted. In actual fact he knew something was very wrong. She'd called him out of the blue at some ungodly hour of the morning asking for his help. It had been ten years since they had last spoken.
"I'm sorry about calling so late…" Kezia looked apologetically up at him from under her dark lashes.
"It's fine…what's wrong?" he asked taking his sip from her coffee.
"Can we go somewhere else? Somewhere more private?" she asked nervously glancing around. Adam nodded leading her out the door.
They sat in the car an awkward silence lingering in the air. Kezia calmed her nerves and turned to face Adam.
"I've…I've been seeing this guy…he's older...and…I tired to end it, but he won't leave me alone, I've tied everything…I moved, I've changed my number but every time he finds me…please…Adam I need your help." She looked terrified; Adam reached over taking her hand.
"Of course I'll help you, do you need a place to stay? You can stay with me." Adam didn't know why it was because he could recall every affection that he had once felt for her.

"Mind the mess." Adam attempted to move the empty beer bottles and pizza boxes out of the way.
"It's fine, seriously leave it Adam. You need to get to work." She smiled at him and pushed him gently out of the door.
"I'll see you later. Write down everything you can think off about this guy and when I get back I'll have a look and see what we can do." He gave her one last smile.
Adam stepped outside into the chaos of the city; a sense of calm filled him as he walked. The people around him got on with their every day lives oblivious to everyone else.
A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he thought about the first time he and Kezia had met in school; he's spilt ribena in her hair and she'd cried. But that hadn't stopped them from becoming best friends.
It had taken seeing her again to remember just how much he had missed her.
