I still keep on thinking about what the old woman said a while ago. She's sleeping tightly now. One hour already passed after that conversation. I already changed my time and based it on London's time zone.

Time difference between London and California is 8 hours. Yes, I do live in California. I've been there for 17 years, and still counting, I guess.

So, in California it's 8:15 PM but in London it's already 3:15 Am. I'll be arriving at London at about 2 PM. I guess I'll just sleep too. I don't have someone to talk to anyway.

Lance:

I can't sleep. Is it because I'm thinking of Julia or is it because of what Michael confessed? Ugh! This is making me crazy. Love is rubbish.

Someone's calling me again?! But it's already 3 Am. I guess I have no other choice but answer this call.

"Hiya! Who's this?"

I heard nothing and I have to admit, it kinda scared me. I don't know if it's a prank call or what. After a few seconds, she spoke. Yes, the caller is a she and she sounds familiar.

"Lance, it's me."

"Julia?!"

Bloody hell. That's why she sounds familiar. It's Julia!

"Hey there Julia!" I exclaimed.

Then she asked, "You're still awake? It's already 3 Am."

Obviously. It is. I want to say that but that would be rude. I think I have to pull out an act. I'll act like I just woke up and she just disturbed me.

"Well, actually, I'm already sleeping but-"

"But then I called you and disturbed you from sleeping? Sorry for that. It's just that I'm here at the airport now, here in London and I, uhh, if it's ok with you?"

"Aight. Just wait for me there, okay?"

After saying that, she hung up. Now, I'm more confused. I was very sure that I had read in the letter that she's going back here in London next week. And not Saturday! Bloody hell! No choice, I have to go there at the airport. 

But wait! I have to call Michael. I know he'll be happy but I also know that it will be awkward for both of them. Well, for all of us.

 I still have to call him. I hope he'll answer it. RIIIING RIIIING! C'mon Michael, answer your phone! RIIIING! RIIIII--! 

"Hello?"

"Thank goodness you're still up."

It took him how many seconds to answer. I thought that he's mad because maybe he's already sleeping then I called him, then he woke up. But I was wrong, when he said, "So she called you too huh."

 Whoa. Does that she called Michael first? And not me? I was about to ask that when Michael said, "She called me first because she don't know if she'll call you because she should not arrive here in London within this week, but..."

"But what?"

"I don't know, she really didn't tell me what the reason behind that. But I think we should go." Michael said.

Sigh. I don't know if I should be happy now that she's back. Well, she's just going to visit and not really stay here , forever. What am I thinking?!
