After ten minutes are so, I get my room key and head up to my room to drop off my suitcase. Most of my stuff was till in London. It was going to be sent over once I found a place to stay.
Once unpacked, I head off to the diner to meet up with Jess.
I walk to the diner since I need some more time to think. Jess took the news awful well which is something new because last time I game him bad news he punched a hole in a wall. Therefore, I'm a little nervous on how he is going to be when I get to the diner and about what he will say next time the topic comes up. I can still feel all eyes on me and it's getting quite annoying. This town is insane and I have no idea how Jess has lasted so long in it. I finally make it to the diner and go inside to find Jess take an order from an overweight lady sitting in the middle of the diner.
I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his waist from behind. "Hey."
You can tell he wasn't expecting me for a little while longer because he seemed a little shocked to see me. Once he realized it was me, he turned around gave me a hug and than replied with, "Right back at ya."
The lady who Jess was taking an order from seems to want information because she interrupts with, "Well well well, Jess, aren't you going to introduce me to your little friend there?"
He mumbles just loud enough for me to here. "I'd rather not." I elbow him in the stomache and he says, "Right… Miss Patty, Alex… Alex, Miss Patty."
I decide to be nice and just give her the information she obviously wants because I really don't feel up with putting up with people today. "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm an old friend of Jess's."
"Nice to meet you dear, what kind of accent is that? It doesn't sound very familiar."
I hate nosy people. "Oh, it's kind of a mixture of a southern accent, a Brooklyn accent, and a British accent. I move around a lot."
Here Jess interjects with, "And who's fault has that been?"
"Well Jess, if you must know, the move to Brooklyn wasn't my idea, however the move to London was all me," I reply quite sarcastically. Its times like this you can really tell I lived in Brooklyn.
Miss Patty seems to be getting tired of being ignored because she than says, "Dear, how long are you staying for?"
"Yeah, I'd like to know this myself." This comes from behind us and I turn around to find Jess's Uncle Luke.
"I don't see how that is either one of your's business. I'll leave well I damn well please."
"Yeah, Uncle Luke, can't you be any nicer to my friend. I'm nice to all yours, oh wait you don't have any."
I slap Jess on the back of the head, "Play nice."
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."
At this point I'm getting tired of being in the spotlight since every single person in the diner is listening in to our conversation, "You know what, I'm going to head out and explore Hartford. I'll be back in a few hours. Love yea." And with that I kiss Jess on the lips in a friendly way and head to the door.
As I'm walking out I can hear Luke saying to Jess, "UPSTAIRS, NOW. We need to talk."
I smile to myself and head back to the inn to pick up my car and leave.
Once I get to my car and am on my way to Hartford, I decide to go to the mall because I need to pick up a few articles of clothing since most of mine are still in London.
When I get to the mall, I pick random stores to explore since I don't really know what any of them have and I eventually find 1 jean skirt, 4 shirts, 1 pair of jeans, and a couple of pairs of shorts. After I pay for everything, I head towards a café I saw near the food court to get some coffee. It has after all been hours since I last had some and a lot has happened since then.
I get my 3 cups of coffee and sit down at a table. I than take a book and a pen out of my purse and start to read. I've hung around Jess way to long for some of his habits not to rub off on me.
After what I imagine was about 25 minutes of reading and drinking my coffee, I hear a male voice that makes me come back to reality. "Is this seat taken Love?"

rkkgirl12 - The chapters are just as short is half of the other stories. I lack the time and drive to sit down and write pages upon pages at a time and since I'm sure everyone would rather have multiple short updates instead of waiting weeks for a long one, it's what I do.

Yay! The first chapter I've written in such a long time. Sorry it's a little short but it's going to take me awhile to get back into the swing of things. I hope this wasn't too bad. I love cliff hangers and I can't wait to hear who people think the guy is. Review and tell me what you think of the chapter and who you think it is. Hope it's all good. So review because it makes me happy and when I'm happy I'm more likely to write. And when I write, it's more likely that I will update. Sorry for any mistakes I suck at editing.
