Turning off the engine, she answered the phone with a happy-go-lucky tone of voice. She always loved to talk to him. He is the second best friend she could ever have, the one that had raised her self esteem and showed her a way of life that she could have.
Ever since the fallout she and Ximen had, he was the one that helped pick up the pieces because he too knew how it felt to get rejected by the one person you truly loved.
Taking a breath she answered, “Hello Lei”. She heard a chuckle on the other end of then line and it wasn’t his.
“Good-morning, did I catch you at a bad time? Lei ask trying to hold in his laughter because the female he was with kept on running her hands up towards his ticklish spot.
“No, just heading out to work, who is that laughing? Xiao You asked wondering if it was just one of the many random girls Lei met up with for the day.
“O just a friend, I called you because I wanted to make sure you make it to lunch.” He said matter-of-factly.
“Yeah, I’ll meet you there. Well hey I have to let you go or I’ll be late for work. You know how bad the traffic is in this city.”
“Okay, just don’t forget to go, and you better not forget because I will drive over there and pick your happy little ass up and embarrass you with one of your many stories,” Lei amusedly threatened.
“Yeah… yeah… don’t forget I know your stories too, so I got some fierce ammo against you.” she slightly laughed, looking at herself in the rear view mirror to see if she had anything in her teeth.
“Okay” was all he said and hung up leaving Xiao You a bit curious as to why he was telling her that she BETTER NOT miss the lunch date.
Hanging up the phone and throwing it back into her purse, she started her car and took off to work.
Not realizing that someone that she had once known was doing the same thing.
“I believe I can fly…. I believe I can touch the sky… I think about it every night and day…I spread my wings and fly away…” Ximen had heard this song the last time he was in New York and remembered it instantly and sang to the song.
Ximen had came to New York on a business venture, he was looking to buy out some companies and to expand his more. He loved New York just as he had loved his home town because it made him feel alive. Plus the women weren’t bad looking either.
He was singing the words out loud and out proud because hell nobody could hear him, he made sure his windows were up. He couldn’t help but get into the music and at a stop light he began to move his arms up and down as if her were trying to fly, closing his eyes and trying to stay on tune.
The song was already ending and he turned the volume down again realizing that his phone had been ringing.
Without looking at the caller I.D he answered it with a raspy voice, he had sung too loud he hurt his throat.
“Hello” he answered.
“What’s wrong with your voice? Have you been yelling?” Lei asked on the other end.
“No, just singing.”
There was a silent pause.
“Okay then, on the other end Lei was raising his eyebrow and making his eyes go wide as if to say, ‘Ximen… singing…has he started drinking this early. He continued on by saying “I made a lunch reservation at the new French restaurant, so meet me there.” Lei said.
“What… I don’t know if I can make it.” he said truthfully because he had set up a date with this sexy woman he had met when he was talking business.
“I don’t think so, Ximen. You will come tonight because I haven’t seen you in over 3 months. You can meet up with your lady friend another day.” Lei stated knowing full well that he had a date.
“But… but… this girl is really special to me.” He pleaded
“Uh huh…for how long?
“Well you know, you know, a play boy to a play boy, I’m sure you know how this works.” Ximen was grinning knowing full well that Lei knew what he was talking about.
“Ximen” Lei said in a serious voice making sure that Ximen knew he meant business.
“Fine… fine, I’ll be there.” Ximen relayed in a dejected tone showing that he wasn’t going to get his way.
After hanging up the phone he put it back on the car charger and another song he remembered started to play, so he turned it all the way back up.
“There are two less lonely people in the world and its going to be fine, out of all the people in the world, I cant believe your mine, in my life when everything was wrong, something finally went right, now there’s two less lonely people, two less lonely people in the world tonight.” He laid his head back against the head rest of the car and with all his voice he sang out the song “Two less lonely people” by Air Supply.
