In a county as big as Sacramento it would be nearly impossible to run into someone with whom you have not had contact with in over a year, by accident. All stars would have to align for this to occur. Today was the day.
I knew it would happen eventually. It has come close to happening before. I mean with a roommate of one of my friends including him on her myspace friend list and all. But I just really wasn’t expecting it to happen today.
I was happily driving along on a stretch of freeway, not only at a time when I normally don’t drive it, but also a section I tend to avoid. I look in my rearview mirror and see a motorcycle similar to my ex’s. Low and behold, he pulls up next to me and it is him. My heart starts racing and I start to panic, it was like a shot of adrenaline (think Pulp Fiction). I am hoping that he turns off. He doesn’t. He stays either a little ahead of me or a little behind me for at least a good 6 miles. Until the exit I know he is going to take comes up (where he goes to school)……and as chance would have it, it was my exit too. So here we are sitting at a red light next to each other, knowing who were are, yet not saying anything.
I turn to my destination and he continues onto his, without a word. This is pretty much how the relationship ended.
On a separate, but related note, I really should play the lottery today. (One in a million, right?)
