Lost & Found
Ch. 7 – The Jay Case.
A week passed and Jay has gotten to know Pia more and more. And so he fell in love with her more and more…
Island in the Sun played on Pia's mobile phone. An unidentified number appeared on her blue colored screen.
"Yes?" Pia answered.
"Hi! I was wondering if you're around the galleria today…"
"Who is this?
"You're worst nightmare" said a creepy voice in the phone lines.
Pia hung up and looked around her surroundings and looked for any creepy guy around. She was sitting in an orange arm chair in her shop. Then Jay sneaked behind her back and scared her. Pia gave a yelp and stood to look who the hell scared the $#!& out of her.
"Damn you! Oh my goodness! You scared me! We're you the one who called me?" said Pia.
Jay laughed so hard he couldn't answer her questions. Pia gave him a smirk, then squeezed and pinched his hands.
Utt was on his way to meet Pia at Pulp when he saw Jay and Pia 'holding' hands. He turned away and headed out the galleria.
"I hate you! Do you know that? You're such a jerk!" Pia smiled at Jay.
"I was just playing!" he replied.
"But that was so mean! You call to scare me and then you sneak behind my back to scare me once more! Watch! I'm gonna get back at you…somehow! I'm gonna be planning it and you'll never know…yup yup."
"Ha! Like you can…I'll always know what's up. Nothing escapes Jay!"
"Trust me you don't know how I am."
"Utt sure does and I'm sure I can get info from him. Or I already have info about you!"
"Where is he by the way? He's supposed to be here five minutes ago, and he's never late."
"Are you guys meeting or what?"
"Yeah, he said he wanted to chill…coz you know he needed a break from work. He's too busy…he needs a breather like he says."
"Maybe he had an emergency and he couldn't make it."
"I should call him to ask what's up."
Pia grabbed her phone and called Utt's mobile. Utt was on his way to his car when his phone rang playing Linkin Park's 'Crawling'.
As he saw Pia's number pop up, he ignored his ringing phone, and turned the engine on and went home.
"Let me try to call him." insisted Jay.
"Okay. Put me on the phone if you reach him." said Pia.
Utt kept ignoring the phone calls he was getting. He just headed home and got himself stuck on TV.
Another week later, Kyle, Kate and Pixie were hanging out with Pia.
"So…Jay really likes you huh?" Kyle gave her a big grin.
"I don't like him back though. I really don't… I kinda find him annoying. He sticks around me too much. I mean I think I'm starting to get really irritated." Pia replied.
"Yeah, I can see that. I kinda miss Utt hanging out with us here at the shop" said Kate.
"Why? He doesn't come around anymore?" asked Pixie.
"Not really. Maybe he's busy, Pia." said Kate.
"Yeah, I think so. I think he has to fly to Thailand for his new TV drama." replied Kyle.
"Yeah, though he doesn't call that much anymore. Well maybe he's just really busy…" Pia gave a sad look to her friends.
"We all miss him…Don't worry… I'm sure he'll call one of these days." added Pixie.
Just as soon as Pixie finished that sentence, Jay headed inside the shop.
"Great…Mr. I want to be hard to get is here." whispered Kate.
Pia gave a big annoying laugh.
"Hey everyone! I didn't think all of you would be here, not that I don't want you to be here."
"If I had security I'd want him gone" cracked Pia as she smirked at Jay.
"Is anything wrong?" asked Jay as he turned to see everyone's faces with a mocking grin.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Pia said as she stood up to go to the caf's kitchen.
"What's wrong with her?" asked Jay.
"Huh? Nothing." said Pixie as she stood up to head out of the store with Kyle. Kate on the other hand went to the kitchen with Pia.
Jay stood alone in the café…he was too happy to even notice that the girls had ditched him. All he was thinking about was Pia. She sure wasn't a super model, but she could be your best buddy ever. She understands you so well; she makes you laugh so hard that you'll pee in your pants…she's just someone you can have real fun with. He sat in a table and started practicing his little speech for Pia. He bought something to drink because he felt so nervous that his throat felt dry and he became sweaty. He finished his juice, stood up and went to the counter to ask for Pia; who was hiding herself from the 'irritable Jay'.
As he stood behind the pick up counter he called out to Pia. She didn't take notice of him, and Kate came out of the kitchen.
"I know Pia didn't leave yet…can I talk to her please?" The nervous Jay pleaded to Kate.
She replied, "Uh, I hate to break it to you, but she did leave. She left through the back door, of course you wouldn't know about that coz you don't work here…right?"
"I guess. Is she mad at someone or something?"
"Oh, no…of course not! It's just that time of the month…so you better back-off."
"Okay, I sure will. I don't want to know how she is when she's mad."
"Are you sure? I think you already know a whole lot about her…" Kate said sarcastically.
"What's that supposed to mean?" screamed Jay.
Kate didn't take a look at Jay and went back inside the kitchen.
Utt was at the studio with Donita.
"Hey I haven't heard about you going to the galleria that often now, huh?" Donita asked.
"Huh?" said Utt.
"Earth to Utt? Where's your head nowadays? It's like you're mind's not working with your body."
"Oh…so what were you asking?"
"How come you don't go to the galleria that much anymore?"
"Oh, I don't have time."
"You always used to have time for everything. Even if it wasn't as much as you'd want it to be."
"Honestly…I'm just super busy."
"So how are Pia and her friends? I like Pia. I feel real loose when I'm around her." Donita stared at Utt's blank face, " I miss her…she's nice to hang out with. So how is she, and her friends?"
"I don't know really…"
"Why? You guys got real close over the past month. I really want to go to her shop. Maybe I'll go today! You want to come?"
"Nah, I have to go meet with Mel."
"Well maybe you guys can meet at her shop."
"No thanks. We're meeting at home."
"Ok sure. Hey Utt…how come you don't seem that hyper today?"
"I think I just need a break."
"Ok. Well, I'm done with filming and I'm heading for lunch. You want to come?"
"No thanks. I'm gonna go straight home. I need to take a rest."
"Okay, take care."
Utt arrived at his home. He was waiting for time to slip away. He was basically having a bad day. He picked up the phone and ordered a large Hawaiian style Pizza from Pizza Hut. As soon as he was finished with his call, the phone rang.
"Yes?" said Utt.
"Utt?" said Pia, "I finally get a hold of you. I really miss you! Well everyone at the shop misses you, but of course I miss you a whole lot more!" She chuckled.
"Hey…"
"How come you sound so dead?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm just really tired."
"Oh…Okay. Donita's here…I guess you're really busy. Well, hopefully you can get energized and we can hang out again. I better go I guess…"
Pia hung up with a cheerless tone.
Utt went to his bedroom to get his bag. His room became chaotic because of his hectic schedule that he tripped over a poster board. A brown packaged poster board.
