Second Chance - Episode 31

LOL! I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING AT YOUR COMMENTS! I WASN'T THE ONE THAT PUT THE SUSPENSE O, THEY JUST CAME NOONI LOL!

KATHIA

My heart was beating so fast and then quickly took another drink. This was not possible! I must be hallucinating..the person standing few feet away from me could never ever be Miguel!

Again, I looked and we caught each others' glances again , this time he didn't hide the fact that he was staring at me, he took two drinks from the waiter and he began to approach me..somehow, I panicked and I stood up, he would have to find his way amidst the group of people in front of him ..I took my purse and then I turned around to look at him, he was stopped by a gorgeous lady who wrapped her arms around him.. collecting one of the drinks from him while he waited to chat and as I motioned to go, I couldn't find him and the man the lady was talking with was not Miguel at all.

"Oh my God! I am going crazy!" I said to myself as I began to walk down to the elevator.

What was wrong with me?

I got inside the elevator, I sensed an impounding headache as I felt the elevator shifted under me. My heart beating was coming down to normal

. I would just take a walk and text Hannah later. 

I stepped out of the elevator and stopped as I saw him, he was right outside, at the entrance of the hall, he seemed to be looking for someone and when he spotted me, he smiled.

"You are really something . I had to rush down the stairs so as to meet you, why didn't you wait?"

I stayed glued at a spot, I was just staring at him, unable to speak.

He smiled and moved closer to me. That was when I saw his eyes

"Have we met before?" He asked , starring into my eyes for some clues but I was too dumb to give any.

I couldn’t even utter a word….

“Who..who are you?” I finally managed to ask…

"Michael..Michael Prince" He replied, extending his hand to me.

Michael...Miguel....Travis....that was the name of the gallery

"You own the gallery?" I asked.

He nodded with a smile. "Yeah. I am an artist."

I had no idea what to do next, I was feeling so hot and so  out of breath….God please, I must not have a stroke……..

"I know this mighty sound crazy but I need to show you something"

"What?" I asked, without taking my eyes off of him.

"Please come with me" He said and brought out his hand and then I took it...and the memory of Miguel's hand, taking mine at the staircase flashed in my head. The same structure and texture, the same warmth, this was the same hand ......what was happening!

We climbed down to the basement of the gallery. When we got inside, he pressed a button the wall and the whole room was illuminated. I gasped as I saw several unfinished work of arts, e everywhere ..some were hanging on the wall while others were just lying on the wall.

Read " When A Man Wants " by the same author ( Tobi Loba )

. Some were on the table and there was one quite unfinished. They all contained sketches of me.

I walked to one of them, it was just my  hair half of my face..another contained my backview, another my side view, several others...my eye and the one lying on the table had my face..just my face and half of a neck...

"I cannot explain it trust me. I had all these dreams and you were always there, at least..somehow...I just had to draw ...and I have never seen you before..believe me..I had waited for this day"

This was even more complicated than I had thought.

"I don't know what to say" I finally said.

"Have you seen me before?" He asked.

I smiled..."In my dreams" I replied and we both laughed. This was too good to be true, I could feel the tears gathering .

"Then I guess we have lots to talk about...what’s your name?"

"Kathia" I replied.

"Then Kathia, would you go out with me?"

I chuckled.

"You didn't say please...."

He smiled. "Please, my Kathia, would you be so kind to go out with me?"

I smiled. "That is way better and yes Miguel..I mean Michael...I would love to"

"Miguel? Is he someone I need to be worried about?" He asked and I laughed at the irony of it.

"Well, maybe" I replied as we walked out of the building towards his convertible.

He put on his sunglasses while grinning at me. "Well, I do love  challenges, My Kathia" He winked as he opened the door for me.

I turned to face him. "Your...Kathia?"

He nodded. "Yes..you would still be mine eventually"

I smiled at the hint of pride in his statement. Then he closed the door and went around the car and later got in.

"That pride......." I started

"You don't like it?" he asked ,looking so attractive in his sun-glasses  and  half-smiling. "Its the truth" He switched on the ignition key.

"Well, it reminds me of someone.

“let me guess, Miguel?”

I smiled….this is so ridiculous.

” I won’t tell you " I replied  and I heard him chuckle as we drove away to where I had no idea of but somehow, my mind was at peace…the only thing is, I really do pray this is happening for real, if it’s a dream, I will just kill myself.

SO I HAD TO POST THIS SO MANY CAN CONCENTRATE IN CHURCH TOMORROW ,LOL.....HAPPY SUNDAY SWEETHEARTS!
