Coincidence or not?

So a couple weeks ago, a couple of my friends & I were just getting back from watching a movie & decided to chill in the parking lot of IHOP. By this time it was already midnight so what better to do than play truth or dare. We did some funny stuff, spilled some secrets, & then it was my turn. They dared me to call Luke.

It had been a solid year & half since I last talked to Luke. We ended on neither good or bad terms, it was just like, we stopped talking. He had since moved out of state for college while I was finishing up my last year in high school. But now, he was back for the summer.

For anyone who knows me, I don't back out of dares. I play by the rules, so I did what I was told. I called him. It rang.....and rang....and finally went to voicemail. But that didn't give me a free ride. They then told me I had to leave a descriptive message stating it was me & saying that I just wanted to see how he was doing. Is that embarrassing or what? But I did it anyway.

A week went by and nothing, not that I expected him to call back or anything. I was on my home from work & I look over & see a black jeep. Chandler has a black jeep, so I automatically assume it's him, but right before I give a wave, I realize it's not him. I do a double take & realize that it's Luke. He must have gotten a new car, because before he left for college he definitely did not have a jeep.

I try to avoid eye contact because I'm awkward & that situation would be awkward. This was the first time I had seen him in over a year! He gets behind my car and I'm flipping shinannigans. My car is pretty recognizable so I'm sure he's figured out it's me. We go our separate ways after almost 5 minutes & I'm relieved. I can finally quit gripping my stirring wheel so tight, I don't have to worry about how good I'm driving, it's over.

I get home, check my phone, & see a text from the one & only, Luke. The text message was as followed:

"Heyyy! Sorry for such a late response. I've been really busy lately! How have you been?"

Coincidence or not? He never mentions in our conversation that he saw me on the road, but it is what it is. Although my feelings for him had been long gone, seeing him after so long was refreshing. I mean, he's gorgeous. I literally thought I was the shiz when I dated him. I was a normal junior girl & he was this tall, captain of the baseball team, president of  NHS, senior guy. It was all dandelions & rainbows til he broke up with me out of nowhere. I honestly did not see it coming, but it didn't hurt me as much as I expected.

Anyways, we texted for like 2 days, but it was just about his time in college and me moving to Idaho in a month. But then it was over just like that.

It was fun while it lasted.
