Chapter 18

    After the Breakfast with Deimos many day’s past.., And I did not hear from him. 

    I felt a bit bad but he must me a busy man! But I myself did also remain busy too., I was able to complete four episodes! And not to pat my own back but I am very happy with myself., But it would be nice to converse with other people than Gene!

    He is away angry about something…., Even when the story is really good he has a problem with it. 

    But hopefully when I finish the episode that I finished with the help of my ‘expressive imagination’ I feel he is finally going to be wowed! 

    I open the company chat on my computer.

   Yumi: There are a few more thing’s I would like you to   

    clear up with the first season, I like the ending but 

    there a two plot points that I would like to have a 

    more clear ending.   

    Gene: See! There are already too may pot points that  

    need to be worked out! LIKE HOW IS HE SUPOST TO 

    MAKE HER FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM AT FIRST SITE!!!! 

    HE IS A CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lana: Of course Yumi! I will see what I can work out!

    Gene: What do you mean you will see what you will   

    work out!!!!! THE PLOT IS JUNK! IT’S NOTHING LIKE 

    YOUR ORIGINAL WORK!!!

    There it is.., I close the chat window. I get up form my desk and head to my room.

    I don’t want to say in all day again, I hop in the shower and the change into some nice cloths. Then I head to the car, The first place I’m going is to get coffee!

    But I’m not going to sages oh no! I don’t want to have to stand in line for ever!

    Long after arriving and the second café that I usually frequent I order a cappuccino and peace of toast, I pick a seat out of the way in the corner of the café.

    After my name is called I take my coffee and snack to my seat, After which I feel a slight tap on my shoulder.

    “Is this seat taken?” I turn to see a unfamiliar face, And yet I feel I have seen him some where before!

    “Ah.., Sorry I should intrudes myself first.” 

    He stands up starter. 

   “My name is Finn and I’m Sages son.”

    Now I remember., He make’s me feel some what uncomfortable. “Ah, Yes.., I met you last week when you took my order at The Coffee Sage.” 

    He nodded as I finish.

    “Yes., I was hoping I would get to see you again.” His eyes wondered between me and the door, Was he looking for someone? Or did he just want to leave…

    “Really…, Why is that?”

    He shifted in his seat seemingly nervously.

    “Well my mother can not stop talking about you, Ever since I came back she has been telling me to get to know you. The sweet girl who always kind to her.” 

    His words where sweet and yet his eyes told another story, I don’t know how to react to him.

    “No, No your Mother is the kindest person I know! And not to Menuhin she make’s the best coffee!” 

    His concisely watches me as I sip my coffee from my cup, What is his problem? “But I’ll have to cut this short I need to get back o work.., It was nice to meet you Finn.” 

    I quickly jump to my feet, But I feel a tug at the back of my shirt. “Can we at least exchange number’s before we go” He gave me a shy smile.

    Why did he want my number..? Did sage really encourage him to try to ask me out? 

    “Sorry.., Did me abruptly asking for your number weird you out! If so I sincerely apologize.” I not going to allow myself to repeat the mistake of last time.., It may have worked out with Deimos and Troy. 

    But that does not mean every guy I meat will be a well mannered as they are. “No! I’m sorry.., But I only know you from buying coffee at your mothers café.” I step further back from the table. “And Well Finn..! I would like to keep it that way.” On my last word I turned fast and left in a hurry, Meanwhile even hair on my back stood on end at the thought of his eyes on my back.

    It’s not that he was bad looking or that he did not seem to have a nice personality.., It’s just. I got ‘that’ feeling…, Like when a cat can sense that there is something on the other side of the wall. 

    Or when an owl turn’s its head to get a better view of what may be behind in, I shook my head firmly as I got in my car. Though this time I would NOT allow myself to repeat my last misstep, I will push these feelings of dread down… After all I could be wrong I my assumption of him, No man is guilty until proven guilty.

    Snape out of it Lana! I sigh…. 

   What has happen to me these last few months! My life has never had this much drama!    

    After much over thinking in my car I remember that I had to go buy the store, I was running low on a few thing and well I did not really want to head strait home after that encounter….

    A quick drive down the road and boom! I was at the grocery store, While I’m here I may as well prep for a few meals. I head over to the magazine stand, I hope they have some good deals on their meats today!

    Ah.., The mundane thing’s of adult life. Who would we be with out supermarket sales!! I quickly flip through the magazine looking for anything I may want.

    Walking through the organic section I look for the list I made based on the stuff that was on sale, I know its still hot out but I’m in the mood for soup. 

    Looking around I find the leaks, Potatoes, And finally the carrots. Maybe I should add a couple more veggies, But I don’t see anything else that I’m really in the mood for. But, It would be nice to add some rosemary and maybe broccoli? Would that taste good together..?

    I should also focus on adding a solid protein, Oh! I would love some wine too! But.., I don’t know if this store sell it here…. Looking around I find an employ.

    “Excuse me, Do you sell Wine here?” The girl looks at her phone for a moment, The pinches her ear peace. “Does anyone know if we sell wine here?” After a few seconds of nodding her head she replied to me.

    “We do.., But, It’s not of the best quality. Follow me I’ll show you where we keep them” I nod and follow her, We seem to walk all the way across the store before she finally shows me only two different types of wine.

    “Here they are, If you need any more help please do come find me.” Before I could reply she rushed off, But thats fine….. Since I did not even bother to look at them, I will just need to go to a liquor store! 

    I finesse my way though checkout and hurry back to my car, I only have thirty minutes before the nearest liquor store closes! Luckily there is not much traffic and I’m able to make it ten minutes before they lock the doors! I rushed all they way here for a fifty dollar bottle of wine…… This better taste good! I wave my fist in the air and a vengeful way! Oh god.., I hope no one is watching me and my embarrassing personality!

    Placing the bottle in my passenger I head home, After I set the soup to stew for a bit I’ll have to get back to work… But that means by the time it is fully done the flavor profile will be off the charts! I take a deep breath.., I still have a bad feeling looming over me like a heavy pile of snow on a tree branch….

    I know that I can over worry.., But this time is different. I run up my hair before tying it back, Grabbing the first ingredient I start of preparing my dinner.
