"Mattie!" Tessa flagged me over. "He's here!"
I walked over to the bar where she was standing. I stood at the bar waiting for her to come back from the door where she was obviously greeting him, when I dropped my bag. I bent down to the floor to pick it up.
"Mattie, this is my boyfriend."
I heaved myself up from the ground where I was picking my bag up and turned around to see a man's shirt. I raised my head a little to have a good look at him. If his chest was anything to go by, he was definitely going to be a very handsome guy.
I was met with an extremely familiar face and my jaw dropped. He mirrored this action and we both stood like this for what seemed like hours but was only a few seconds.
"Mattie, Ric? Do you two know each other?" She was met with silence. Neither of us spoke. We were both in total shock. Seeing his face again after three years brought so many feelings and memories flooding back. I found myself getting lost in those eyes of his. And studying his face.
"Erm… hey." I cursed myself for being so simple. 'Hey' that's the best I could come up with?
"Hi," his voice was coarse and croaky.
"Well I gotta go, I said I'd pop round to Martha and Jack's to see my new niece." I ran out of that door quicker than I'd ever thought possible. Did that really happen? Was Ric in there with a girl I had instantly become friends with?
-x-
I knocked on the door violently. Martha and Jack were living in the old Bachelor Pad. Where they were living before they broke up before. They had been going strong for three years now. They got back together three weeks after I left and I was so pleased for them. Now they have a beautiful baby girl, Christina who is two and a half months old. I've seen photos. She has her mother's beauty and her father's eyes, a perfect combination. She's definitely going to break a few hearts when she's older. Well, that's if Jack lets any men near her in the first place.
"Whoa Mattie. Calm down. What's up?" Jack asked as he answered the door.
"Sorry, I didn't interrupt anything, did I?" I instantly regretted being so loud. They had a new baby after all.
"No, no, it's fine. We're just about to put Tina to sleep actually. You wanna come in and see her? She's been dying to meet her Auntie Matilda."
"Sure. Why not? I've been dying to meet her to!"
