" Arnie " she's here.

" hey Williams " she says back to me ..

" have you been here for long? Hope they didn't give you an hassle at the last floor. Are you okay? " I asks and seconds went by and she is right in my front me. Her eyes pulls me closer.

" hmmmn? " I say as she seems spaced out...

" well it could gone better. I lowkey felt stupid down there " she says to me

" I'm sorry about that I didn't plan it well " I move closer unruffling her hair.

" where were you directed too? " I ask hands still in her hair and towering over her...

" umm the opening office where interviews are taken "

" Arnie do you want cake? "

" cake? " she ask in surprise " are you celebrating something? " she asks again...

" no I got it in thought that you might like it " she's so cute....

It's makes me feel like we back to when we were little....

She loved cakes it was her comfort it made her happy.....

" yes I'd absolutely love it " she says to me...

We sit and talk for hours. I hope it goes like this for ever....

He remembers the first day he saw her again in the city.....

William stood at the edge of the bustling city street, his eyes scanning the crowd with an intensity that was both desperate and hopeful. He had a meeting to be at time his running past. He'd been searching for another route but a friend of his said he saw her he didn't believe it, tirelessly he had searched for Arnie just get a wims of her hair, through every corner of the world, from the places they used to visit together to the ones they never had the chance to explore. He hadn't stopped looking, not even for a second. The last decade had been a blur of half-formed memories, too many dead ends, and nights where he wondered if maybe she was just a dream he couldn't hold on to.

But today, today felt different. He believes. He'd heard her name in passing, a whisper in the wind. "Arnie," it had sounded like a prayer, a call back to a time that still haunted him. And so, he found himself here, in this crowded little corner of the city, where his friend has said to him. His heart was pounding in his chest, a mixture of hope and fear, and as he took a step forward, he knew this could either be the moment he'd been waiting for, or the one that would break him completely.....

Maybe it wasn't meant to be. There she was standing ever so beautiful with her friends laughing at joke......

But now, after all these years, it was as though time had stopped. She was still the same....

" Williams" she calls me out of my trance....

" I have to go I have an online class by 3 and have to prepare " she stands...

" okay I'll drop you and the cake" we both step out...

Arnie pov

*******

He seems like his reminiscing something. Like his trapped in a trance.....

" Williams"...

" I have to go. I have an online class by 3 and have to prepare "...

" okay I'll drop you off and the cake" we both step out his office.

Down the elevator and minutes later we back at the first floor with the receptionist.

" Mr Williams ummm good...." she's shocked by my appearance at his back and the cake in my hands...

" good afternoon?" he says with a questioning tone..

" you defiled my order and stressed my visitor but good afternoon "......

" I apologise for the discomfort sir. "" I apologise ma'am "....

" it would never occur again " she say while we walk away lowkey I feel awful because it looks like her life force drain from her eyes but she deseverd it...

We're back at my place and he's driving off as he seems to be in an hurry and waves me goodbye.
