Lucky Call

by bexie25

All she has is his name, the sound of his voice, his phone and the memories of one night to go on. She doesn't know why she didn't ask for his number. She doesn't know a lot of things but she's willing to find him to get the answers. Could a little spot of luck get her to him before his Paris-bound flight leaves Heathrow airport? Drabble-ish, 1 chapter update a day.

14. Chapter 14

"Um…" I say, my mouth hanging open in the most unattractive way as I try to think of something to say. "Are you alright?"

"Peachy," she says, sounding anything but. "Now, is there anything else you wanna tell me about you and hot-French-guy?"

"Well," I say. "He left his phone in the hotel room. It's locked though, so I can't do anything." I bite my lip.

"What?" she asks. "Spit it out, Isabella."

I frown. "I don't know," I whisper. "I just… I feel like I need to see him, Rose. I need to find him; something just tells me that if I don't find him soon then I'll just spend the rest of my life wondering what could have happened. I… I have to know what this connection I have with him could turn into. I need to know."

"Ok," Rose begins, her lips pursed. "Did he say something to you? Anything in English maybe? Or French that you understood?"

I frown and shake my head, but she raises her eyebrows at me. "Are you sure? Because, honey, if you're wrong and you just don't remember it 'cause you were drunk last night, or whatever, then this opportunity will slip right through your fingers." She sighs before quietly adding, "Not that I really understand why you'd wanna go after this guy. Men are stupid, selfish pricks anyway."

I frown. "But he wasn't."

She lolls her head to look at me, eyebrow raised again. "He left you there to wake up alone after he whispered what he whispered in your ear."

I think about that for a moment. "I know… but the way he said it, Rose… maybe he felt like it was easier that way? Like, if he left before I woke up and didn't have to say goodbye, it would be easier for him and for me in the long run?"

She shrugs. "I dunno, maybe. But just… think about it, B. If this guy is what you really want, and you think he felt the same, wouldn't he have waited, regardless of how that might have made him feel? And wouldn't he leave a note? Maybe said something?"

I sigh and close my eyes, a resounding she's right echoing through my head.

And at that, my eyes snap open as what she says resonates, and I remember something that I could kick myself for ever forgetting.
