Almost everyday since the gossip girl post about Vanessa getting him to leave the house, Dan had been coming to his favorite coffeehouse from college to bury himself in his writing. He was determined to finish this book before the summer was over. He was on a role, writing in his opinion the best chapter that he had ever written when he heard an all too familiar voice call from behind him.
"Dan?!"
He looked up and turned around to see none other than Olivia Burke standing before him.
"Olivia" He said "It's good to see you"
"Oh my god you too" She smiled moving closer for a hug.
"Mind if I join you?"
"Not at all" He said pulling her chair out for her and flipping his notebook shut.
"Still writing I see" she observed taking a sip of her coffee.
"Congratulations on your book by the way"
He smiled bashfully "Thanks" But he quickly changed the subject quickly "What brings you to New York ..business?"
"Actually I just moved here full time about two weeks ago"
"Whaaaat?" He smiled
"Yeah, once I lived here even if it was only a few months in the dorms I couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else, it took a few years to make it happen thanks to my objections" she shrugged "but I'm here now"
"You are" he nodded. He had to admit, Olivia looked better than he remembered. Her eyes seemed to be sparkling her hair looked as if it had fallen perfectly into place and her skin was flawless even with the little bit of make up that she had on.
"Look" she said glancing at her watch, " I have to go ..I have an interview but we should totally get together sometime."
"Yeah, Yeah" definitely" he agreed. "Have your people call my people?" He joked.
"Will do" she laughed.
He sat back and drained his coffee as he watched her walk away.
Dan hadn't thought about Olivia in years, but after he saw her at the coffee shop she was all he could think about. He decided that he should wait at least three days before calling her so as not to come off too desperate. But he felt a little better when she answered on the first ring.
"Dan" She said, he could nearly hear her smile over the phone.
"Hey Olivia" he responded "I was just calling you to take you up on that lunch offer"
"Yeah of course" she piped "Let me just check my schedule"
His smile dropped "Umm ok"
"I'm totally kidding" she laughed "How about we meet at CerTe tomorrow at one for Pizza?"
"Sounds good" Dan agreed.
"So it's a date ..I'll see you tomorrow."
"I guess it is" Dan smiled pressing the end button.
