What Where You Thinking

On Wednesday Mits received a call from Shane saying that he needs to leave night, for a meeting, and that he will be in the City for a week maby two deping on how long it will take to sort out the problem there, he also told her that he will only drop in to pick up a few things before leaving.

A week has past since Shane left to the City, missing him more than she thought, Mits came up with a plan.

Phoning Mel she explained to her what she had in mind, and Mel was all to happy to help.

Half an hour later Mel showed up at the front door, when she knocked Mits ran to open the door.

"Hello Stranger long time no see." Mel said with a big grin on her face.

"Yea, yea get in her." Mits gave Mel a big hug.

"Are you packed and ready to go"

"Yes that one more thing that I need to grab then we can go."

Mel drove Mits to the airport.

Once there Mel gave Mits a big hug, "If you need anything just call me."

With a shy smile Mits thank her and went to get her ticket.

As she boarded the plane, her heart was racing.

This was the first time that she did this and she was afraid that she may be too naïve to go through with this.

But Shane, had a way of capturing her thoughts and speaking to her soul like no one else has ever done.

She put her small overnight bag in the overhead compartment and sat down in her seat, immediately strapping herself in as if to convince herself that there is no turning back anymore.

Finding Uber was easier than she though.

She didn't expect him to pick her up at the airport because she knew he was busy.

The fact that he made space for her in his busy schedule had a peculiar effect on her state of mind.

He set time aside for her, despite the fact that she did not want to disturb him.

As the driver drove past the mountain and she saw the city before her, he elaborately explained where she must look and then told her whatever he felt she needed to hear about that particular spot.

Interesting facts. Historical facts.

Just something that's good to know.

Warnings to not wander around there alone; especially at night; and thoughts on which areas are safe for a lady like herself to walk around.

She only caught parts of what he said, but he didn't really notice.

She was taken aback by the splendour of this place, in complete awe of the grey and white rocky mountain raising to the sky on the one side of the highway and the busy yet beautiful city arching down towards the sea on the other.

She felt an inexplicable sense of belonging while her Uber tour guide carried on about every thing around them.

As they got closer to the city and also to the place where she arranged to meet him, her phone pinged.

"I can't wait to see you!"

Her heart skipped a beat when she read his simple yet meaningful message and whatever doubt she felt earlier suddenly disappeared to make space for pure excitement.

"Neither can I.

The driver says we should be there in 10 because of the traffic.

Sorry for the wait…"

"No problem. I'll be here!"

A thousand things were rushing through her mind as they entered the CDB and took the turnoff onto the street where she agreed to meet him.

It was her first time in City, but she didn't feel overwhelmed or scared; she did in fact feel at home.

When the car stopped and the driver turned around to ask if this is the spot where she's supposed to be, her phone rang.

"I can see you!"

"But I don't see you… where are you?"

"Here! I'm walking towards you now."

Then she saw him. Tall, dark and very handsome, casually dressed, walking towards the car as a whirlwind kicked up a cloud of dust and leaves.

"Oh… I see you! Yay!"

She giggled and could feel that she was blushing a bright red like she last did when she was still in high school.

This is it, she thought to herself as she tried to focus on her breathing.

She got out of the car, watched as the kind Uber driver took her bag from the car's boot and thanked him once again for bringing her here safely.

When she turned around, Shane was standing right in front of her.

She froze and for a moment, completely out of character, she could not form a single word.
