Grey skies, light thunder and the cool breeze with drizzle over the city. It was a perfect evening to cozy up sip on some hot cocoa. I was on my way to pick up my girlfriend from her work. She was excited to make me meet her new friend who had just joined their company, maybe a few days ago. Georgia was really happy about her new friend and I was enough happy to see her happy. I walked from the train station to her work place which isn't that far and better when you're lost in your thoughts in this beautiful weather. I stopped in my way when there she was, short, petite, big round eyes and that smile. I wasn't sure if it was her appearance or the vibe but I couldn't stop staring at her. Her hair was tied up in a bun, no makeup and semi formal attire with those glasses bigger than her face. It was late when I realized Georgia was standing next to her.
"Sam!" She called me and brought be back.
"Meet Nika, my new friend I was telling you about."
"Hi! It's nice to see you. Georgia's talked about you," she said extending for a handshake.
Her palm was ice cold but the smile was so warm. All I could manage was 'hi'. I never felt so stupid. I figured it was better to be the quiet guy.
We were going to the beach and I really hoped Nika would join us but she said she had made other commitments. I wasn't sure when would I get to see her again but I was sure about being poked about how I kept staring at her by Georgia. Nika turned around and walked away in her black and white polka dotted umbrella and we went on our way. It was a nice evening but I couldn't stop wishing spending some more time with Nika.
A few days passed and I hoped Georgia would ask me to pick her from work but in vain. I figured I should try to find if Nika was on any social media. And I found her.
She wasn't very active on social media but her posts spoke for her. Her bio was very basic and she had pictures mostly of partying with her group. Well, I found out what I wanted, she wasn't seeing anyone. I know I was wrong, I was with Georgia and I couldn't, I shouldn't betray her trust.
