chapter 2



Miguel left in the wee hours of the morning as Adriana slept. His morning was a staple in his for the past few months. Miguel knew being in shape was of the upmost importance if he wanted any shot of making the team. He felt bad to leave Adriana there unexpectedly, so he went home to change and then ran to her home. There and back was a good 3 1/2 miles. 
HIs run usually took thing off his mind that plagued him, such as making the team, or finding a steady job. But all he could think about was Adriana.


"Snap out of it, she is not interested. the sofa? she had me sleep on the damn sofa. i'm such a loser." he thought to himself.
"I should have woke her up, she probably hates me for leaving so sudden." he continued the negative thoughts as he walked to her apartment door.
Adriana was already awake and dressed, and decided to cook her favorite dish.

Adriana wishes she had the guts to pursue a cooking career, but Matt prefers she stays home. He is afraid she might meet someone new.

Nash-Na-Poof? MIguel said as he walked through the unlocked door.

"oh my gosh, you scared me! Adriana was slightly startled.
"Don't drop that bowl woman, smells nice!" Miguel said.
"It is nice. better than nice. you want some?" Adriana asked.
"of course." Miguel said.


"and what does naskapoo mean anyway? and where were you this whole time, I wake up and poof you are gone, don't you think I ----



"woah woah! Ah, van vesua! Cummuns nala at least? can i sit down first ? Miguel said.
English please. I don't find it funny. Adriana wasn't amused. 
"i'm sorry". miguel said. 




They sat and eat quietly for several seconds before either spoke.


They were both waiting for the other to ask the things they really wanted to know about each other.
"oh no!" Miguel said.
"what!" adriana said.
"Oh nothing." Miguel said sarcastically.
"oh come on, you must have something on your mind." Adriana said.

"yeah i do. a lot. I really like hanging out. I think it something special that we met at all. I run every morning to stay in shape. to clear my mind.
