To See You Again
CH2 - Dinners
"Mum, Dad, I'm home" said Carmen a bit puzzled what to say. It wasn't her home any more.
"Kitchen" she heard her mother.
Carmen made her way to the kitchen.
"Funny, you still remember where it is" her father entered the room.
"Ha-ha" she answered sarcastically.
"You're here to spend the day with you oldy parents?" Ingrid put something in the salad.
"Sorry, not today. Can you imagine? All my things are now in Prague!"
"What do you mean?" Gregorio was confused.
"I only mean that they were on the wrong plane and now in the country that is very far away from the USA" Carm smirked.
"What are you gonner do?" asked Ingrid.
"Go shopping" and with that she kissed parents on the cheeks and stormed out of the house.
She had three bags in her hands now and was tired from all of the shops. Maybe that's exactly why she didn't see a person behind her and just bumped in him.
"God, I'm so sorry" she said taking the hair of her face.
"It's ok, I should see where I'm going on my own" said a familiar voice.
"Is that you?" she recognized the guy from the party in him.
"And you are that mysterious stranger" Gary smiled of their meeting.
"Yeah..." Carmen tried not to laugh at it "call me Carmen"
"Gary" he answered. "So Carmen I guess now when we met in a so fatal way you can't say no to cup of coffee"
"You can be sure about that"
"Let me take your bags" he did as he said and they went to his car.
"Where are we going?" asked Carmen.
"How long it has been since you've left America?" suddenly asked the guy.
"Well...10 years, I believe" answered the girl thinking.
"Then we should go to the beach. I think it haven't changed but I love it, I had one of the best moments of my life there" Gary put on sun glasses.
"Hay, I like the beach very much too. Are you sure we haven't seen each other before?"
"Don't know. I think I wouldn't forget you"
"Probably" she looked at her watch, it was half past seven now.
"Are you in a hurry?" Gary interested driving.
"No, just time flies"
"That's where you're right" then he heard her cell phone.
"Hello?" Carmen said.
"Carm, I called Gerti and today you, me, her and Gary are having dinner at Bettiny's" Juni said it loud.
"Calm down! Sure, I'll come. I really want to see them. But now I've got to go"
"See ya tonight"
"Bye"
"Why are you so happy?" asked Gary and stopped the car on the beach.
"Today I'm gonner see my friends"
"Wow, that's great"
They started walking, then had a cup of cappuccino and after that headed back to the car.
"I fell I should give you a ride home" Gary said.
"If you insist"
"Yes. Also I insist you and me to go somewhere..."
"Like on a date?" Carmen smiled.
"Yeah" he smiled back. "How about tomorrow?"
"I like the idea" she answered still smiling.
"Great then. By the way where should I ride you?"
"Hilton Hotel"
"Whatever you say, miss"
At the hotel he helped her with her bags to her room.
"Thank you and see you tomorrow" she gave him a quick kiss on a cheek and closed the door, leaving Gary to touch his cheek with his hand.
At 9 p.m. Juni and Gerti were waiting for Carmen and Gary at the Bettiny's.
"So, do you like to be married?" asked Gerti.
"Not many things changed so... oh, there she is!" Juni pointed at the door.
Carmen went in and came up to the table.
"Carm? Is that really you? I wouldn't recognize you" cried surprised Gerti, hugging her friend.
"Oh, Gerti!!! I'm so glad to see you! And where's Gary"
"He'll come in a minute" Juni joined in.
"Ok, I'll go to the Lady's room, but when I'm back, you're doing to tell me everything about your life, Girt!" and she made her way to the other direction.
As she went out, Gary showed up:
"Hi, hope I'm not late?"
"You are, Carmen will come in one second" said Gerti.
"Can't wait to see her!" he said with a stupid smile on the face, then he saw Carmen...well that Carmen he asked out 3 hours ago. "Hi"
"Hay...What are you doing here?" asked Carmen puzzled.
"What do you mean, sis?" said Juni.
"Sis?!" now thy both were puzzled.
"Oh, God! Gary! I mean you're Gary Giggles, aren't you?"
"And you are Carmen Cortez!"
"Am I alone who doesn't understand anything?" said Gerti.
"No, me too" Juni took the menu away.
But for some unknown reason Gary and Carmen didn't tell them about a single thing. But at the end of the dinner when Juni and Gerti were out, Gary said:
"So, are we still having our date tomorrow?" Carmen Cortez had this effect on him, he wanted to be with her.
"It's not against rules, right?"
"And if not. When did the rules stop you?"
"You're trying to remind me that you know me too good. Then try to remember tomorrow what flowers I love" said Carm, stood up and went to join her brother and Gerti...
