Fuck it. Reid was going to take matters into his own hands. He called Z again and when she answered he asked her for directions about the subway. He hang up, walked around the city, found the subway station, bought a ticket, waited for his subway to arrive and got in when it did. He was a genius after all, Reid could take the subway even though it was his first time! Nothing went wrong and he didn't get lost ;)
He felt confused about how Z was acting. When he called her he didn't get the impression that she moved a muscle at all after she found out that she was at the wrong train station. It didn't matter. If she didn't come to him, he would come to her.
The subway stopped and he got out. He walked from the subway station to the train station. Finally they were at the same place now. He kind of expected her to be there waiting for him. But she was nowhere to be seen. He texted her: I'm at your train station, I'll be waiting for you at the flower shop, come and get me (L)
Their meeting had a delay of 35 minutes now in total. Pitty their first date was going off with such a rocky start. He stood in front of the flower shop at the train station. Reid got another text message form Z: Ok. I just have to go and get something first and then I'll be right there!
She had to go and get something first? What was more important than him at this very moment? It was their first date… The first thing that came to his mind was drugs, because she was saying she had to go and get 'something'. That 'something' was a word he used a lot as well when he had to go and get drugs. Reid kicked the Dilaudid and had been clean for over a month now, but he knew Z was still having trouble with her drug of choise… cocaine. If it would be anything else than drugs then why wouldn't she just say what it was that was so important that she had to get right now?
Maybe she was going to get something for him! Yeah that must be it! She probably felt guilty for being so late on their first date and now she was going to get him a present to make it up! That's why she said 'something', because she wanted it to be a surprise!
Meanwhile 45 minutes had gone by. He was starting to get a little mad at her. He stood nearby the flower shop waiting for the girl of his dreams. The girl that he started to love so much, the girl that was now in no hurry to meet him. They should have been hugging and kissing 45 minutes ago!
Reid had been waiting for her for so long now that he was starting to feel glad that he didn't buy her that rose… He was doubting whether or not she even deserved him. How could someone just leave him alone like this? She had to go and get something first? What the fuck! Well it better be a present for him to make it up or he'll be disappointed. That she was at the wrong train station; he could live with that. But that she didn't come looking for him and let him take the subway in a city he didn't know! And that she made him wait for 45 minutes! He didn't like that at all. He felt abandoned. Z meant so much for him, but she was treating him like shit!
