Halfway Around the World
Chapter Two- Welcome to London
Seven hours in an airport lounge, twelve hours on a plane, and three nervous breakdowns later, Steve had arrived in London. He had spent the entire flight trying to construct a plan on what to do when he found Mary. There was just one problem.
He still didn't know where she was.
That was first on his list. Then again, Steve hadn't thought anything over since he left. Here he was in a foreign country with nothing more than the clothes on his back. He couldn't find Mary in San Francisco, a city he knew very well, finding her here was next to impossible. Well, at least they speak English.
Standing outside the London International Airport, he didn't even know which direction to go in. Casually looking to his right, a phone booth caught his eye. Wedding planners were in the phone book, which were in phone booths. Obvious as it was, it was all coming to mind one step at a time.
" Wedding planners, wedding planners, wedding planners, wedding planners" Steve muttered while flipping through the pages. " There you are!" his excitement decreased when he saw that there were five pages with listings under wedding planners.
It made him think, back to when he was engaged to Fran, and they were looking for a wedding planner. Had she caved in and gone with the other company he suggested, this wouldn't be happening. Steve would be with his ' wife' on their honeymoon. Not standing in a phone booth preparing to call seventy-three listings.
An hour went bye, no luck. His ear was getting restless, his fingers numb, and his hopes lost. He was beginning to believe the possibility that maybe he couldn't find her, and he have to wait those months for her return, hoping it would be all the same.
Steve placed the phone back on the receiver for the final time. He pushed the door open, accidentally hitting someone. " I'm sorry".
" Steve!".
His eyes darted upward at the sound of that voice. And there she was, Mary.
A/N- It's still going slow, but I really have a good plot in mind. Let me know what you think. P.S- please read my other story- When It Happens To You
