#50 THUNDER

  Last time she asked him to call her Mia.

  -Why not Anna, it’s a pretty name.

  -Yes, sure. It is in all my documents and you know it’s quite officially. My parents called me Mia and I like to be called like that by people who are important for me.

  He was important for her. He was so happy!

  -OK, it’s not a problem, Mia. Now I get why I couldn't come to a common point with you, it is because Julian.

  -Julian? How come?

  -He was looking for a girl he met on his way and he said her name was Mia. He was looking for you.

  Mia was surprised. She didn't expect Julian to look for her and he never mentioned it before. In fact, they didn't have many opportunities to talk. Moreover, it would be very silly to ask: “Were you looking for me?”

  -Julian was looking for me? – Mia repeated carefully.

  Sebastian was a little confused. Her voice was different. Was Julian important to her?

  Mia saw a shadow of sorrow in Sebastian’s face and she didn't want him to think there was something between her and Julian. There was nothing. Maybe she was in love with him, but he wasn't in love with her. Therefore, there was no need to talk about it.

  -And how did you meet Julian? He mentioned he gave you a ride, but he didn't say anything else.

  -It was just a ride and I didn't know that he was from Warsaw.

  -He isn’t actually. He often drives here and there. He was in many European countries before and I have always been jealous that he travels so much.

  -I have more the impression that he’s here all the time. I just can’t lose this feeling. – She said and waited for Sebastian’s reaction, but he didn't understand what she was talking about.

  Mia had this impression, when she was here at Sebastian’s place that Julian was there, too. It was a confusing feeling. She didn't continue to share her feelings with Sebastian. She started talking about something that wasn't connected with Julian, and Sebastian was very pleased about it. Every time she mentioned the name of his best friend, Sebastian got a small stitch in his heart and some fear tried to overwhelm him. Fortunately, she always had a feeling when to change a discussion theme and his fears never really plagued him.

  As always she suddenly said she had to go home and she left Sebastian in his apartment filled with happiness and joy.
