Destiny
Milan, Italy, July 2003
I saw the girl walk out of the restaurant as we locked eyes for a second. I stood up, got one more bite of my meal and chased here.
“Why- why are you here?” I asked. The girl turned around and confirmed my initial thoughts. I never thought we’d cross pass again, but there she was, standing a few feet in front of me.
“Hey you. Did you miss me?”
“What are you doing here?” I continued.
“Well, I expected you to be happier, Reagan.”
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy, but still. How do you know I’m here? And since when you do you work here?” “I didn’t and I don’t. See, I was waiting for you in Rome, but you didn’t notice me. Every day, I hoped you’d call me, but you didn’t. All this time I was waiting for something which wouldn’t come.”
“So you just forced your way on me.”
“Quite the contrary, I went to Milan as I wanted after you left Parma and I managed to get myself a place to sleep. The woman I’m sharing an flat with was sick and worked here. I didn’t know you were in this hotel until I saw you sitting there.”
We left the hotel together and walked through the sleeping streets of Milan, where time felt to move at a very slow pace, where the stars were brighter than anywhere else. Where, I truly fell in love again.
“I love you, Cecilia.”
“Don’t leave me any more.”
“Don’t worry, I’m staying, right here.”
After a few hectic weeks, I moved in into my own flat in Milan, with Cecilia. Ready for the next chapter of my story.
