Yup.. Paul's got quite a developed sense of humour!

Through His Eyes.
Chapter 36
I can't find a parking spot... She's gonna think I'm not coming.
As I finally get out of my car, I look at my watch... Fifteen minutes late. Shit! I run the distance between my car and the coffee shop. God I hope she's there.
My eyes scan the tables out front, it's a nice day... she might like the sun. I miss the sun; my job keeps me indoors a lot.
She's not in any of these chairs.
I push the coffee shop door open and walk inside... Where is she?
I scan the tables...
I smile. She's in the far corner, looking out the window. I wait...
She turns back and glances down... to her watch. Shit.
As I walk towards her, she looks up and smiles.
"Sorry I'm late. I slept in and then couldn't find a park."
"That's fine." She says with a grin. "I actually came in late myself... I had a late night last night. Some guy kept me talkin'; wanting to know all about me..." she says dryly.
"Don't ya just hate chatty people...?" I say with as straight a face as possible. It's hard, she makes me smile.
She smirks and shakes her head. "Have a seat; you're makin' the place look untidy."
We order our coffees and talk... about lots of things, including our ex's.
You've had such a hard life. I think to myself. I don't say it out loud; she's not the sort of person who wants people's pity. I feel a draw to her but I feel like I should keep a distance, even after what happened last night. We're both coming out of relationships and I have a demanding job.
But we can take this slow... right? But can we... after last night?
I offer her my cell number, for emergencies of course... or if she just wants to talk.
Yeah... we all know Dimitri's version of 'talking'... LOL!
