It was nearly 2 pm when Kara stormed into 'the friday place' with full hands of landscape fashion magazines and very delirious face expression. After 7 days at the peaceful Scottland,Posy still couldn't fully get back into the huge London rush.
-Oh my gosh,these are getting out of hands,- Kara said,throwing the magazines on the seat,next to Pose,- Can't believe you are back,Posy! Missed you,doll.
Within few seconds they had both offered the white wine and started chatting about how they should cath up now as Posy had been gone for SO LONG TIME,and Kara,ofcourse,couldn't stop asking about the trip,as well.
-Well,it was OK,- Posy said,slowly sipping her sparkling drink,- I really did had a great time out there,far from London and everything.
- Sounds like a genuinely boring road trip,Pose,- Kara couldn't help but declare,as she was done with the 1st glass of wine,- I'm telling you,Chris is such a nature geek.
-He's not a geek,- Posy told,looking at her best friend,- he just likes enviroment and loves spending time arround places with a good nature. What's so bad about it?
-Well,there is no coctails,wild beach parties and in your story,- Kara mentioned,offering another drink,- so your trip,I concider,was a slightly boring one.
-No it was not,it was BEAUTIFUL,- Posy stood up for herself,although Kara was a little,just a little bit right,- we even watched the sunrise,went out at nights and everything.
- Oh,TELL ME ABOUT IT,- Kara ironised,- I'm dying to hear how many sheeps crossed your way during your super-romantical midnight walks.
- Well,not that there was SO many sheeps,- Posy said,- Oh god Kara,it was Scottland. Not Nica or anywhere.
-Let's face it,you hated it,- Kara said,- and it's really not normal when you go on vacation with a guy you love and don't even enjoy the time. Unless you don't really like the guy so the trip seems to be OK for you.
Posy did not understood what Kara had just said; as usually,Kara seemed to be making a point,wich wasnt understandable for Posy's mind. However,she didnt replied a thing,just took another sip of her wine.
-So,how are you? Work and stuff?- Posy asked,trying to lead Kara away from her favourite topic,wich was Posy and her nerdy love life.
- Uh dont even ask,I'm in an urgent need of vacation,- Kara gazed,looking slightly tired,- and I mean a REAL vacation,with hot stranger guys,many many drinks and ocean in front of me ALL the time.
-So,it's going good,I guess,- Posy said,thinking about ordering some light salads,- well I'm glad.
- You know lately there's so much work,- Kara told in a busy-as-hell kind of voice,- who would've thought,people actually needs somebody to design small gardens for their 9th floor apartament's balcony? Weird people,I'm telling you. Or damn rich,that's for sure.
Posy did not said anything just chuckled,finally finishing up with her drink.
- We need more of this,- Kara declared to the waitress,who immediately dissapeared to get those two crazy lunch-time-drunkards their sparkling wines.
-so,how is Chris lately,- Kara spoke up,when the waiter had put new glasses on their table,- how are you BOTH?
- We're okay,no need to worry,Kara- Posy said,before her best friend started her relationship-hater's speech for the 1000th time already.
- That's beautiful,Pose. You two are really close,aren't you? Are you as close with him as you were with Adam?
-For god's sake,NO need to talk about Adam now,- Posy was furious,- or ever,okay?
- I'm just saying,I mean you and Adam broke up long time ago and there is possibly no way you will ever get back together again,so,- Kara said with a weird,almost provocative grin on her face,- as you have Chris now and you guys are PERFECTLY happy together,we can discuss Adam normally,cant we?
Adam was never going to be a topic,wich Posy could discuss normally. When they had broken up... When HE had broken up with Posy,it really did broke her heart into few thousands and hundred one peaces. Adam was her first real time boyfriend - her first serious crush,first real lover and in every way a perfect life time partner for her. They had met when Posy was in her early 20,it was actually a neighbourhood's party,one of those pointless get-to-know-eachother's events,and Pose had been bored to death,untill she saw him. She and Kara had just brought their in every way unperfect little flat at the outer area of London and somehow unexpectedly,every single neighbour was interested in meeting their new next-door girls.
Posy was wearing a ridiculous pale T-dress wich was being concidered as a #1 fashionable thing then and light blue high heels,wich were just from the store and hurt damn lot.
Then somebody had started talking to her,it was Mark,her neighbour from the left side to be exact,and she had just wished for somebody,ANYBODY,to come over and save her from the pointless conversation,how high London apartament prices were.
-I mean,its just UNBELIEVABLE,- Mark had said to her,gesticulating with his hands to obviously make a point how serious he was,- They ask SO much for a room without a bed and with NO service,by the way. And the water in showers is really cold! Seriously,outer area at least has hot,OK,warm water streaming.
-Totally,-she had said,still looking all over the place to signify to anybody how despirately bored she was in this conversation. And then there came a voice from behind,a low,manly voice wich Posy perhaps will never forget. She just couldnt get it out of her mind; his voice,precious face and after all,his very VERY toned abbs.
- Young lady,Pose it is? I'm new to this house too,I was hoping you could show me arround,- he had said and Mark,who obviously had understood the hint,went away to bor somebody else.
- Thanks god you came by,- Posy gazed looking at the man who had just saved her from another ten minutes of how huge jerks the downtown's people were,- yes its Pose,well Posy,but you can call me Pose if you want to.
Oh god,this even sounded so childish,she had thought to herself,meanwhile hoping the red lipstick was still shining from her lips.
- Okay emm,Posy,- he had told,looking as good as a God,- Adam.
-Nice meeting you Adam,- she had smiled to him and he had smiled back,showing off his perfectly white teeth,-So you need a guide? Let's go then.
- No I actually live at downtown's area,Blooming street to be exact,- he laughted,- I jusy said that to keep the poor bloke away from you.
-Thank you for that,- Posy said somehow feeling so vulnerable; as if he would have already stolen all of her heart. And it was,in fact,a total true.
-Ofcourse we can,but we WONT,- Posy said strictly,- come on,there's plenty of themes rather than discussing my old blokes,duh.
- Ya sure,- Kara blah-blah-blahed and drank her wine cravingly,- besides,Chris is WAY better anyways. You two are sharing the perfect relationship so I guess I'm not comming on your way.
- Thank you,- Posy said,and then ordered the greek salads. With full mouth she'll at least have some extra time to think before answering to Kara's often so provocative questions. Sometimes Posy wondered,is Kara REALLY doing okay with out a guy by her side; She,ofcourse,always made sure everybody knew how satisfied male-hater she was,but deep inside,Posy was sure,Kara was craving for a real time man. She have had many,like SO many guys in her life,but after the fifth-something relationship was finally ended,Kara just switched the side and turned into self-confident no-guys-woman. She was doing great so far,going stright and all things,but Posy sometimes tought that Kara was just simply afraid of getting in love with someone,like in a real,deep and pure love. Ofcourse,in the end it could probably cost her whole heart,wich would've get beaten into dusts then,but at least she would ever got to know what a real love was. However,Posy never said any of this aloud,as Kara was positive about how she was living and made a point that she did not wanted anything in this to change.
They had ended up their nice lunch time chat pretty quickly as Kara had to head back to her plants and posh people's balconies and Posy eventually had to get back to her own life as it was. Weird how she had been reminded about Adam again- could it be that some part of her now so grown up soul,was still aching? Aching for... Him? She didn't knew. However,she had Chris now for already two love fulfilled years and did not ever wanted to toss any of that away. She loved where she was now and one thing,the ONLY thing she loved more than that,was Chris,the simple guy with a georgeous smile and a honest heart.
