Today I went to the library to check out a book.
On my way back I decided to stop at the coffee shop I use to work at.
I didn't want to run into Matt though...
Matt equals SO.
My readers are right, I don't want to call him SO anymore.
...I quickly looked up and down each street that the coffee shop was cornered on, and I glanced briefly at the stairs that lead to his apartment floor.
No where in sight.
Since buying a coffee takes less than 5 minutes, I decided it was safe.

I was wrong.

In the 4 minutes it took to buy and get the coffee, he showed up.
I stood at the counter, waiting on my coffee, I knew he was behind me, but I hadn't turned around yet because I had NO idea on what to say.
When the bile started to build and I started having horrible thoughts of this turning into a bad situation, I felt my bookbag move up, and then down... as in someone kicking it lightly with his foot.

I turned around and smiled and said, "Hi how are you?"
He returned the question and I returned the answer he gave.
I turned back around to collect the money when a penny dropped out of my hand to the floor.
Before I dated him, he use to come down to that same coffee shop and throw pennies at the girls behind the counter as a flirty way of communicating his regard.
Looking down at the penny I said, "That's for later, when you run out of pennies and you need some to throw at people," I said with a smile.
I walked over to the counter to put cream and sugar in my coffee.
A penny came whizzing at my leg.
I looked up smiling, and said, "Wow, I didn't know it would be so immediate."
He just shrugged his shoulders smiling also.
I walked out the door saying, "Have fun Matt."
He said, "You too."

At least know I don't fear that situation anymore.
