Chapter 2: The café
Elijah took a deep breath and left the bathroom. The first thing he witnessed was the red haired girl struggling against the cop, "What have I done? You're hurting me, I have rights and I know them, I can get you for assault". "She has spirit" Elijah thought impressed. She could stand up for herself. "Let her go" he told the cop. He let her go and she sprang back brushing down her jacket. She turned as if to go. The cop moved. "Don't even think about it" she threatened. Then she turned to Elijah, "Are you the one who sent this brute after me?" she gave the cop a dirty look. "Yeah, and I apologize, I didn't think he'd harm you, I asked him to fetch you" he replied. "Well…" she stood tapping her foot on the ground, "I don't have all day". "Ammm, ok this will probably sound really weird when I tell you but…will you come for a coffee and I'll explain" he said. "This better be good" she said and strode away. Elijah followed after her.
She didn't speak until they reached the nearest café. She sat down at a window table and ordered a mineral water. Elijah sat down across from her and ordered a cappachino. "You're paying" she announced, "Since I'm here because you asked me". "First things first" Elijah said, "Introductions, I'm Elijah Wood" he offered his hand. She ignored it. "That's obvious, I'm Anita Coughlan" she replied. He sat back and started to light up a cigarette. "No way!" Anita said forcefully, "Put it away, they kill you know, and the effects are a lot worse on a second hand smoker". "Sorry" he said. Their drinks arrived. "So, what's going on?" Anita sipped her water.
He lay his hands on the table, "I had a dream last night. You were in it. I have never seen you in my life and in the dream you said your name was Nits and that it had nothing to do with the hair. I remember you had a strange accent and you didn't seem to want an autograph. I woke up and couldn't get the dream out of my head, it was that vivid. I go through my day. I'm nearly finished signing when I see you. I think no way, I'm hallucinating because of fatigue or something. I look back and you're gone. Next thing you're right in front of me with your friend. I ask you do you want an autograph and you shrug, and say the same words you said in the dream I had, Nits, nothing to do with the hair. I had to stop you just to talk to you. It could mean something, I don't know" he sat back and awaited her reaction.
She exhaled, took a drink of water. "Wow!" she said slowly, "That is really weird. Do you believe in that type of stuff?" she asked. "I don't know, I've never experienced anything like that" he replied. "Well, I do. You could saw I'm like Fox Mulder from 'The X-Files'. Sometimes I'm even called spooky because I believe in that stuff!" she told him laughing.
"So where are you from?" Elijah asked, "I can't place your accent. "I'm Irish, I moved to LA this spring to pursue my career". "What do you do?" Elijah was interested in this girl. "I'm a photographer, and I write columns in magazines sometimes". "So where did the name Nits come from?" he asked. "From when I was about 12. At first it was Neats, spelled n.e.a.t.s.because I'm neat, then it was Nites, n.i.t.e.s. because I'm Anita, then it was shortened to Nits. I used tell everyone it had nothing to do with my hair because I thought they would think I had nits!" she explained. "So, have you any freaky nicknames?" "Well, there's Lij, from Elijah obviously, then there's Woodie from Wood, that was way back in Iowa. I moved when I was about 6. Then of course there was shrimp, shorty etc. because of my height!" "Me too!" Anita laughed, "I had shrimp also and tiny, I didn't like that, cutie, and of course freak. Then there was appaholic because I eat lots of apples, and úlla, the Irish word for apples!" "What height are you?" he asked. "5 foot 1 thank you very much. I'm proud of it, I get cheap shoes and clothes. I can buy in the kids department sometimes!!" Elijah laughed at her, "I'm not that bad off, I'm 5 foot 6!" he boasted. "Ohhh, big man!" she teased. Elijah laughed. He was having a really good time with Anita. She had a really nice personality.
"So, what's with the hair?" he gestured to her red and blue spikes. "It was a dare. I'm a brunette normally but my friends bet me to dye it red and add blue highlights. I needed the money and it sounded like fun so here I am!" "I think it's bizarre" he said, "Bizarre in a good way though!" "Thanks, I get the weirdest looks and stuff but I prefer to be an individual. Be unique you know" "A rebel" Lij supplied. "Exactly, up the rebels" I'm actually from a county in Ireland called the rebel county!"
2 hours later they were still talking in the café!! A waitress came over and said they were closing. "Wow! Look at the time" Elijah said in surprise. It was 10pm. "Do you want to come back to my place for a while Anita?" Elijah asked her. "Sure, I've nothing on anyway and sitting at home on your own can be pretty boring, my housemates are away for two weeks" she replied. "Let's go so, my car is just down the street" Elijah said, "Back to my humble abode"
A/n: That's it for now folks!! There's definitely more to follow!! Review please**
