"I can still recall, our last summer. I still see it all, walks along the sane, dancing in the rain. Our last summer, memories that remain." ~ Our Last Summer~ ABBA

Im sat here wondering what he's up to. Wondering if I'm on his mind. Maybe i am? Maybe I'm not? And if i am, is it good thoughts? As i sat in the cab i couldn't help thinking about him, his green eyes with brown flecks, his soft touch, his laughter daunts my mind. I pull out my phone from my coat pocket and open it, i go straight to messages and swipe all the way up looking through our recent messages.

23rd October 11:52am

Me: "hey char, i was wondering what you was up too?"

24th October 1:26pm

Me: "Charlie?"

I lock my phone and throw it to the seat next to me.
Moments later, a ping draws my attention. I dive for my phone, looking simply insane, and a message lights my screen:

25th October 6:46pm

Charlie: "Hey claire! Im so sorry it took long to message you back, i just got off my flight and guess where i am?"

My fingers rapidly type so i can get the quickest reply but he gets there first,

Charlie: "NEW YORK BABY!"

I gulp, wanting to cry with happiness. Months had passed since id seen him, what if he didn't recognise me? What if he fell for someone else? I dial his number, it takes two rings for him to pick up.

Me: "Your in New York? Im so happy, when was you gonna tell me?!"

He stifles a laugh and replies,

Charlie: "i just did, didnt I?"

Its almost if i can see his smirking now, which makes me smile.

Me: "i guess, so where are you hiding then?"

Suddenly my cab comes to a stop and the left side of the taxi opens up. He's stood there. Charlie.
Still talking through the phone he says,

"Im right here"

I throw my phone to the ground and leap out the cab and jump, he catches me like fate. Im now crying, hes digging into my shoulder, hugging tightly,

Charlie: "i guess you missed me then?"
he asks pulling away.

Me: "you have no clue char."

I immediately pull him back in and take a gasp of breath. I can smell him, i can feel him. Im with him.
