Chapter 3: Phone calls and Coffee Dates
I park my car into the dorm parking lot and go upstairs. As I walk through the door I see Donna is watching TV in the living room. She gets up and runs over to me as soon as I walk in.
"Kori! There you are, tell me how did it go? Did you even recognize him?" Donna asks curiously.
I sit down on the couch next to her and sigh.
"Oh gosh, was it really that bad?" Donna asks.
"No, It was great", I say.
Donna looks at me confused, "Then what's wrong?", She asks.
"The love of my life left me to travel the world and after 4 years he comes back smoking hot!" I exclaim. "When I went to see him today, I started having feelings for him again", I say and shake my head, "Why did he have to leave in the first place, everything was so perfect", I say.
Donna gets in the couch and goes to the kitchen. She goes into the fridge and pulls out a pint of cookie dough ice cream and two spoons. She then comes back and sits down next to me.
"I have a feeling we are going to need this", Donna says.
I smile and take a spoon.
"So are you still in love with him?" Donna asks.
"Maybe…I don't know I am just so confused", I say, "I definitely felt sparks between us when I was around him", I say
Donna nods her head, "Hmm, well do you think it could just be because you haven't seen each other in awhile?", She asks.
"Possibly", I say while dipping my spoon in the tub of ice cream, "You're probably right, I haven't seen him in a while and I was probably just overwhelmed with emotions", I say.
Donna nods her head, "I'm sure when you see him again your emotions will be normal", She says.
"Yea", I say and dip my spoon in the pint for more ice cream.
"So I'm guessing he wasn't a scruffy old hobo huh?" Donna asks.
I smile "Far from it, He has more of a Ryan Gosling or Taylor Lautner body now", I say.
Donna raises an eyebrow, "What? and you didn't take pictures?, I'm hurt!", Donna says jokingly and puts her hand on her forehead dramatically. I burst out laughing knowing she is trying to make me feel better.
We finish eating the ice cream while watching TV.
After we finish Donna says goodnight and goes to her room. I go to my room and call Rachel.
"Hey Kori", Rachel says.
"Hey Rachel", I say and I hear Gar's voice in the background, "Let me talk to her, I want to say hi!"Gar says.
"Gar wants to talk to you", Rachel says annoyed and I laugh.
"Hey Kori!", Gar says.
"Hey Gar! What's up?", I ask.
"Nothing but the ceiling baby", Gar says and I laugh.
"I was wondering if you could come and visit us the weekend, I need your help with something", Gar says.
"Sure Gar, I'll visit Saturday, is that ok with you?", I ask.
"Perfect! well I'll see you this weekend Kori", Gar says
"Hello" Rachel says and I know that Gar has given her back the phone.
"Hey" I say.
"So how did it go today?", Rachel asks and I know she is referring to seeing Richard.
"It went well", I say.
"Kori! Details please!", Rachel says eagerly.
"Well I went to his house and he answered the door kind of mad I guess because it was early", I say.
"True Dick isn't really a morning person", Rachel says.
"Yea, anyway he answered the door and he looked pretty pissed but then he realized it was me and he looked happy all the sudden and gave me a huge hug and told me how much he missed me",I say
"Mhm, so did you two talk?", Rachel asks.
"Yea mostly about school and I asked him how his travels were and what he was doing back in Gotham", I say "Then he cooked me dinner", I say.
"Dick cooked?!" Rachel says surprised.
"Yep he made lasagna and it bread rolls and they were freaking delicious", I say and my mouth begins to water.
"Wow", Rachel says and impressed, "Did anything else happen?" Rachel asks.
"Er, well I did see him shirtless", I say and blush at the memory. "He looks pretty impressive" I say
"Impressive, huh…you said something embarrassing when you saw him didn't you? Rachel asks.
'Damn her for knowing me so well' I think to myself "Yea I did…I said 'Damn you look good'", I say.
Rachel laughs "Ah that's priceless" She says.
"Oh hush", I say.
Rachel laughs, "How did he react when you told him you are dating Xavier?", Rachel asks.
I am silent at first, "Umm, that did not come up", I say.
"WHAT! You didn't tell you have a boyfriend?!" Rachel yells and I am surprised Rachel hardly ever gets angry.
"No, I was just so overwhelmed with seeing him and I just forgot", I say shyly.
Rachel sighs, "I see what you mean, but you're going to have to tell him eventually", Rachel says.
"I know, I'm just afraid of how he will react, you know Richard can overact sometimes", I say
"Yea, but since him and Xavier were ok later in high school, I'm sure he won't react too badly" Rachel says.
"I hope not" I say "Aww shit, I forgot to call Xavier back", I say "I gotta go Rachel"
"Good luck Kori, & see you this weekend" Rachel says.
"Can't wait, Bye Rachel", I say.
I hang up the phone and call Xavier back.
"Kori, what the hell! Why haven't you been answering your phone?" Xavier says angry
"Hi to you too" I say, annoyed with his tone of voice. 'Why are guys so rude sometimes' I think to myself.
"Sorry, I was just worried about you and you weren't answering your cell", Xavier says.
"Yea I forgot to turn the ringer back on when I went to class", I say, "I just wanted to call you back before I go to bed" I say
"Oh", Xavier says and I can tell he is disappointed that I don't want to talk longer on the phone "Well goodnight Kori" He says
"Night Xavier", I say.
I hang up the phone and flop down on my bed. My mind is overwhelmed with the events that happened today. Seeing Richard for the first time in four years did bring back some old feelings. I just didn't know what those feelings were yet. Richard had hurt me deeply when he left and when he did I was afraid to open my heart again. I was a mess when he left, instead of my normal cheery self, I had become isolated. When I started dating Xavier I slowly started opening up to him more and becoming my old self again.
'Ugh this is too much thinking for one night,' I think to myself.
I decided to take a long relaxing bubble bath to relax. After my bubble bath, I brush my teeth and change into my pajamas and get into bed.
I wake up in the morning dreading the day ahead. I get up brush my teeth and shower. I have to work today. 'Maybe this will be a good distraction from all the drama' I think to myself.
I put on my shot black skirt with my light blue shirt with ruffles on the front. I put on my black sandals, grab my wristlet, phone, and name badge and go to the kitchen for breakfast.
I finish my bowl of cereal and put my dishes in the sink. I grab my keys and leave the dorm.
It only takes me about 15 minutes to get to the coffee shop. I park my car, get out and enter the shop.
"Right on time as always" Mr. Light, my boss says as I enter and I smile.
I go behind the counter and grab my apron from below the counter. I place my badge on my shirt and walk toward the tables to start taking orders.
About 3 hours later I am exhausted and I am only halfway through my shift. My feet ache from standing so long and my arms are sore. We are usually extremely busy on weekdays but I have never seen the place so full. Eventually the people begin to clear out so I can finally take a break
"I'm taking my break", I say to Mr. Light and he nods.
I grab a bottle of water, with a sandwich, big chocolate chip muffin. I sit at one of the empty tables. My feet feel relieved as soon as I sit down.
I begin to eat and enjoy my lunch. I hear the door chime and I look up and see Xavier. He comes to visit me at work from time to time. He scans the coffee shop and when he sees me he smiles. He then makes his way over to my table.
"Hey there cutie", he says and kisses my cheek and sits down across from me.
"Hey", I say, "I wasn't expecting you to come today I thought you were mad at me" I say
Xavier says "No, I was a little pissed but I could never stay mad at you", He says, "I did want to apologize for last night", He says. Referring to how he answered the phone.
"It's ok, you had a right to be mad I should have called you I didn't mean to worry you", I say.
Xavier chuckles reaches for my hand "Your amazing Kori, you know that? I am always amazed at how forgiving and kind you can be", He says.
I blush and Xavier leans in and kisses me. I am caught off guard, 'Thank goodness I didn't take another bite of my sandwich' I think to myself.
"I'm so lucky to have you as a girlfriend", He says and I smile.
"Kori? is that you?" A familiar male voice says.
I freeze in horror and my heart starts beating out of my chest. I look up and see that he is walking over toward our table.
Once he reaches our table he frowns in confusion as though to process what he is seeing.
I gulp and my forehead starts to sweat nervously.
'AAAAHHHHHH' I think to myself as I am currently screaming internally.
"Richard, what are you doing here?" I ask.
