"Long Awaited" Chapter 25: "The Chase, Part 2/Can't Be Over That Soon"

David's POV:

I came up on a four-way intersection, heading to find Virginia's house. I got the address out of the phone book and called the operator to get directions.. I wrote them down. I was going left. I look to my left and see another car, going straight, with a girl in the passenger seat. It was her. And she was with some guy. I didn't see him at first, I was too blinded by how much she had changed in two years. "Oh God, I want to talk to her," I throw my head against the seat as I ponder if it would be cool to follow them or just meet them at the house. Of course, what love does to me, I immediately change my signal to going right and I know Virginia got confused when the light turns green and I go that way. She obviously saw my blinker for left. I wondered if she knew it was me. I went right after they did, which might have creeped her out, but she didn't notice at first. I am following them. Going every way they are. I couldn't believe I was her stalker.

Virginia's POV:

Me: "Justin, there's a car following us..."

Justin: "What?" He looks back very casually to see what was going on.

Me: "Don't you see it?"

Justin: "Yeah, but maybe they're just going the same way we were."

Me: "Not at first."

Justin: "What do you mean?" He gets concerned.

Me: "Well, at the intersection, he was heading left, then he went right..."

Justin: "He could've put the wrong blinker on..."

Me: "Who makes that mistake?"

Justin: "It's not impossible!" He tries to reason with me.

Me: "But unlikely..."

Justin: "Fine, if he stops where we are, we'll confront the person, okay?"

Me: "Well, I don't want to start anything."

Justin: "We'll talk to the person calmly. It'll be fine." He tries to calm me down.

After about 10 more minutes of driving, we are about to enter the parking lot and the car is still following us. This is getting creepy. We park to the left and so does he, "what a shocker," I say to Justin as I exit the car. The other grey-ish car was kind of familiar now that I got a better look at it because they parked close. We get out and then we see the other person getting out. It wasn't a "they..." it was "he..." and I knew who he was.

Me: "DAVID!"

David: "VIRGINIA!"

This was all in front of my boyfriend, but at the moment I saw David's face, my heart skipped a beat and I didn't care. I run over to him and he runs to me and we give each other a big hug. He's really strong and picks me up off the ground. He's obviously very excited to see me.

David's POV:

Holding Virginia in my arms again was like Heaven. The love of my life in my arms once more.

Justin clears his throat so as to signal Virginia to let go of me. I was reluctant to let her go and I could tell she wanted to hold on a little longer, but she didn't want to get in a fight with him.

Justin: "And Virginia, do you mind introducing me?"

Virginia: "You don't know who this is?" she patronizes her boyfriend a little and motions to me.

Justin: "Not a clue."

Virginia: "Platinum selling Jive recording artist?"

Justin: "Who?"

Virginia: "Singer of the famous, double-platinum 'Crush?'"

Justin: "Still not ringing a bell."

Virginia is about to give up and uses her last resort..."American Idol season 7 runner-up?"

Justin: "Oh my gosh, David Archuleta!"

I smile when he knows my name. He is either a fan or just is a fan of music.

Justin: "David, you are so talented." He comes over to me and shakes my hand.

Virginia: "And you couldn't tell by his face who he was, Justin?"

Justin: "Well, he looks different from American Idol and I've never seen him in person."

Virginia scoffs at her boyfriend's stupidity in front of me. I laugh.
