Reunion 3

DJ: Of course he is welcome, please take a seat.

Lorant: Thank you. (sits next to Renie* (lowers his voice* Bae.

Renie: Hm?

Lorant: Bae, why did you call me over? Don't you think that James might have a bad feeling about me seeing how close we are?

Renie: (lowers her voice* Look around he is nowhere to be seen.

Lorant: What makes you think that he is not coming later?

Renie: Could you please calm down? Or do you need me to give you a kiss for you to shut up.

Lorant: Renie, I am serious.

Renie: The James I know is never late, so I just assume that he is not coming.

Lorant: The James you know is from 9 years ago.

Renie: Well you are already here so there is no way you are going to ditch me. Right?

Lorant: Renie, of course I won't ditch you.

Renie: Yep so let's enjoy.

Everyone arrived except James, Renie though he was not going to show up, she was enjoying her food and was socializing with the help of Lorant, she forgot about James. Sometimes later DJ and Kevin stood up and went out, Renie did not care about it.

Renie: Bae, I think we should get going. You have that conference tomorrow, father will not be happy if you screw it up.

Lorant: Yes, but it is only.

Renie: If you want to stay I am fine with that but we are leaving before 11 pm.

Lorant: Bae, we can just sleep here.

When Lorant said that Lise was shocked and had to ask.

Lise: Hm Renie, I didn't mean to listen but are you guys dating?

When she said that everyone stop talking and started paying attention to them

Renie: Lorant is my best friend.

Lise: Well you have been calling each other bae since you came here.

Renie: We have been best friends for 12 years. We just grew to call each other like that.

Lise: 12 years? So you met him before James?

Lorant: Yep, and this girl-

Renie: Oh no.

Lorant: So basically a year after we became best friends, no like 9 months after she met James at her new school. In December of that year I was like "I like you", I got rejected just for James.

Renie: I don't know what you are gaining telling them about that

As she was saying that DJ and Kevin came back with James. They were taking on their way to the table.

James: I know right.

When James said that looking at DJ, at that moment Renie heard him and her heart started racing. She immediately recognized this voice, it was James. She froze at that moment looking directly in the eyes of Lorant, she knew she still had feelings for him and wasn't ready to meet him yet.

Lorant: Bae, what's wrong?

James heard Lorant calling her Bae and saw her looking straight into Lorant's eyes. He froze there thinking she had moved on and lost all hope of being with her.

Lise: James hi! Come and take a sit.

Lorant: James? (whispered)

Renie nodded, Lorant understood what was wrong and started to laugh innerly. Renie saw the face he was making and looked away. Turning her head the only person she could see was James. Their eyes met and she shily look away and called a waiter to her side.

Lorant: That must be James. I heard a lot about you.

James: And you are?

Lorant: It must have been rude of me. I am Lorant DeLien.

Renie: Hi james.

Lorant: So should I continue telling you guys about how i got rejected?

Lise: Sure.
