A small world
I was on my way out to take Evie out for a walk, "Evie! Come on girl!", I yelled in the house, she came running with her short legs and long body out of the kitchen. I hooked the leash on her and we started walking down the street. I was wondering why Mimi hadn't wrote back to me, it was strange to get a random email from someone I haven't heard from in years and then get nothing back, it was odd.
Evie started barking at something, I looked up, it was just a cat, I kept walking, I studied the things around me, the flowers, then the next thing I know Evies leash had slipped out of my hand, I "EVIE! Come here!", she ran up a driveway, a guy was standing and watching me, then Evie went and jumped on him begging for attention.
"Evie"
I said
"I am so sorry, I wasn't paying attention and the leash slipped out of my hand…"
He cut me off, I didn't really look at him, I bent down and picked up the leash, he was petting her.
"It's ok, I've got four dogs!"
He said that with a smile on his face, I could tell by his voice.
His voice... He sounded familiar
"Oh really what ki…."
I cut off in mid sentence when I looked up at him in his eyes.
He had the same expression on his face.
"Bill?"
I said, I stood up slowly
"Anna?"
He said
"Oh my god!"
I said surprised
"What are you doing here!"
He sounded excited
"I live two blocks away, but what are you doing you here? I thought you were over in Asia?"
"I was, we got back the other day, wow! I can't believe it's you!"
"Well are you just gonna stare at me or are you gonna hug me?"
I wrapped my arms around his neck while his arms hugged me tight around my waste, his hugs were still the same, it's amazing what you can remember from years ago.
"You wanna come inside?"
He asked me
"Yea sure, I would love to"
I followed him through his front door, I walked inside and looked around
"Wow, your doing good for yourself, really good"
I said, we went into the kitchen, he sat down at a table
"Yea I guess I am, you can sit down if you would like"
I didn't even realize that I was standing up, I sat down across from him
"You guess huh?"
"Yea!"
He chuckled
"I can't believe its you, damn, it's been so long"
I said
"I know, actually everybody was talking about you the other day"
"Really? I hope yall said good things about me"
I smiled, he laughed
"Yes, we all said very good things about you; we were just talking about how much fun we use to have and how much we missed you"
"Really! You couldn't think about me sooner?"
I looked at him to see his reaction when I said that, he took a deep breath
"Oh believe me; I have thought about you many times, you are constantly in my head"
"Really? It doesn't seem that way"
We both weren't smiling anymore
"I know, I did miss you though"
I didn't say anything, because I didn't believe it, so I changed the subject
"So, where is everybody?"
"Sleeping"
"Damn! And you're up? I'm amazed at that; you were always hard to wake up"
We laughed
