About two years ago I ran into this guy who seemed very familiar to me. It was while I was working for Enterprise rent a car. I was picking up a customer at the car dealership & this guy was there working. He would look at me in a flirty way & as I was walking by him I stopped & told him that he looks familiar. I asked his name & he said it was Luis. As I'm in the rental car with my customer driving off, I realized it was my boyfriend from when I lived in Puerto Rico! I was 11 years old at the time & he was 14 :P He was really my first boyfriend. He looked older for his age at the time so I think that's why it was easier for me to recognize him. He of course couldn't recognize me cuz I was too much of a beba [baby]. He still looked skinny as he did back then & still very, very good looking. So I went back & I told him in Spanish, "De todo los citios que hay, no puedo creer que tu estes aqui", "Out of all places, I can't believe that you are here".. & he was like "who are you?" & he was smiling. I told him it was me. He couldn't believe it either! haha. Definitely a small world. He's already married, with stepchildren. His wife is about 12 years his senior so she can't have anymore kids. He would flirt so much with me it was insane. I felt like that little girl again. But I have a boyfriend so I wasn't trying to let this go any further. It was nice to see him again though & I felt a huge relief that he was doing well for himself, here in the states, because I always wondered where he would end up. He was a bit of a bad ass in school & would steal. Now I don't know where he is, we just couldn't keep in touch cuz he wanted something more, & I couldn't give him that. Sad, because he's married, but sometimes that doesn't stop a man.
Indeed it is a small world.
