Chapter 2... Wheels Up
Mia got out of her Uber and headed to the Southwest check in terminal. She passed Spirit and Frontier airlines and shuttered at the long lines and lack of airline workers to address them.
She hated those airlines and vowed to choose comfort over convenience always.
Mia zoomed through TSA thanks to her investing in TSA pre check. She headed for her gate and stopped to get some gum on the way.
After a somewhat quick flight, Mia arrived in Houston Texas and was ready to relax and decide which activity on her list of "things to do" she felt up to.
She didn't have an itinerary so to speak, just a list of restaurants, bars, and places to go IF she decided to. Mia would also be content in her hotel room, reading a book at the pool or the bar.
As Mia was waiting at carousel 6 for her bag to show up on the belt, she heard a voice that she couldn't tell if it were familiar or not.
"Mia?"
Mia turned around to face where the voice was coming from. She scanned a few people and saw someone weaving through the crowd towards her. It was Xavier. Mia's stomach flipped and her throat felt tight.
'Xavier?" Mia question, before she was enveloped in a friendly half hug.
Xavier was Mia's ex ex boyfriend.
Mia and Xavier grew up together and fell in love after college. They were best friends before their relationship, but when it ended Mia lost a boyfriend and her best friend... and it crushed her. She powered through the breakup and graduated law school, while Xavier moved to New York City to go after his dream of working in the music business.
Now years later, Xavier was married and Mia had just ended a relationship she tried desperately to save.
Mia just looked at Xavier hoping that she could form something intelligible to say. Sometimes she had a problem with responding to people in her head and not actually saying anything at all.
Xavier looked great. He was wearing his ear length dreads in two cornrows. He had on all black and some Nike Panda dunks. He only carried a LV carry on, and had Bose earphones around his neck.
Xavier: Small world! *said with a bright smile* are you here for SXSW?
Mia: ...it is a small world! uhm no, I'm here just to get away...a little solo trip
Mia was very nervous but was pretending not to be. She hoped her voice didn't crack and she prayed her smile looked genuine. She wanted to get away from him. What sort of sick trick were her guardian angels playing? Really Xavier in the airport?? Of all places... of all people!?
Xavier: dope! Birthday trip?
Mia: Yup!
Xavier: you deserve it! where are you staying? Maybe we could get up?
Xavier adjusted his LV carry on on his shoulder and his yellow gold wedding band caught Mia's eye. Xavier didn't seem to notice that she looked at his hand for longer than a beat.
Mia: uhmm... I am staying at the Bloom Hotel...
Xavier cut her off with an eyebrow raised impressed expression
Xavier: oh wow! that's how you are doing it? My hotel isn't far away from there I think!
Mia: Oh cool
Xavier: Can I text you?
Mia: sure sure...
Mia began to say her cell phone number but Xavier cut her off.
Xavier: its still the same right?
Mia: Right.
Mia had the same exact number since college. She never changed it -and never planned on changing it. The fact that he knew she had the same number struck Mia in a weird way.
First, it was confirmation that he was able to reach her, but for whatever reason just did not. Mia always wondered what would happened when she stopped reaching out to Xavier- so in her first year of law school she did an experiment. Whenever she would call Xavier, he would call back-but he never initiated communication.
So she stopped...and communication stopped altogether. Whenever she felt the desire to contact him, she would just tell herself that if he wanted to talk to her he would...he never contacted her so Mia resolved to her self that Xavier could reach out to her- he just did not want to.
Xavier: Cool! I'll hit you later! Are you good with getting to your hotel?
Xavier asked, and it was with genuine concern.
Mia assured him that she was alright. They both said quick goodbyes and just like that Xavier was running out of the terminal. Mia was frozen. Her bag had been sitting on the carousel. Alone.
