Three Minutes Into Random

~Chapter 3~

*Chapter 3* - Three minutes

Ursula sat at the drinks counter with a coke can in hand. Iris was still not back.

It was highly unlikely of Iris to be off when a party was in full swing. Ursula rested her cheek on her palm as she looked towards the entrance. Sighing to herself, she pulled out her headphones and put the playlist on shuffle.

Songs played one after the other and Iris was still no where. Ursula dialed her number for the tenth time. One Ring after the other went on but nobody picked up the phone.

A second call gave the same result. Ursula swore if Iris had left for home without her, she would make sure she cleans up the house at the end of the month.

Just then, the phone vibrated in her hand. A message from Iris.

Iris, the eye that is : Going home now. A certain scene happened. See you at home. Sorry. I'll clean up at the end of the month. :)

Well, thought Ursula. At least she says she'll clean up. But the fact that a certain 'scene' happened was bothering her now. Maybe it was with Brad, Iris's boyfriend.
After all, she went out of the party with him. It's only possible that he created a scene and she reacted.

Ursula looked around to find some very bored out groups of people that didn't know what they were doing anymore. The amount of alcohol inside them began to worry Ursula.

She got up for her own sake and walked out. Songs still burst happily into her ears and she couldn't help the occasional hopping and swaying.

She was walking along the streets to the main road to catch a taxi when she stumbled on a few stones.

Two steps went in a frenzy and then she lost all balance and tumbled forward to meet two strong arms.

The person held a firm grip of her shoulders keeping her from falling face first. She looked up to a towering figure crouching in order to hold her in place.

Well, embarrassing, she thought as she stood up again.
The man looked handsome. Ursula felt like a dwarf in front of him and had to arch her head high up to look at his face.

She smiled an embarrassed smile. "sorry."

"are you alright? " the man's voice came out strong and bold. A little husky but not girly. Very manly...

She felt a blush forming on her cheeks out of nowhere." yes yes. I'm fine. Thank you."

"it's alright."he smiled a set of teeth and Ursula just smiled back.

The headphones had tumbled forward and now lay on the floor. They had unplugged from the audio jack and her eyes grew wide as she spotted them on the floor.

She fell to the ground dramatically as she pulled her headphones close to her chest. A little sound of anger and despair came out of her mouth.

The man was still standing there, looking down at her from the first floor. She got up and held it out in front of him.

"you should have saved him!" she said holding the now broken headphones.
"look at that! What will I do without him now? "

The man standing before her let out a chuckle and took out his earphones from inside the collar of his shirt.

Ursula raised an eyebrow at that but he simply unplugged them and handed then to her.
" I have two headphones at home. You can have this one until you get that repaired, yeah? "

Ursula blinked a few times.
" no no! I cannot take these!" she hastily pushed them back into his hands.

He smiled down at her with amusement. Pulling out a visiting card he handed both the earphones and the card to her.

"there. Now you'll know where to come and give it back when your headphones are working."

"but.. "
"it's okay . Don't worry. If you don't come and give it back, I'll find you somehow, okay?"

"but... "
" Alright, how are you going home? taxi? "

" um.. Yes..? "

" I'll drop you home. Come on. That way I'll know your house, so if you don't return it, I'll come myself. I've to go by taxi as well. come on. "

Ursula stood there unable to process what was happening but for some unknown reason she followed him to the main road and got in a taxi with him.

Blurting the address to the taxi driver she sat back with her broken head phones, his head phones and the visiting card bundled on her lap.

He put his hand out. "I'm Ian Fernández, by the way."

"oh... Umm.. I'm Ursula Piettre."

"nice to meet you Ursula. I like that name." he smiled to himself in the most natural way Ursula had ever seen.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket. "you like music right?"

"yes, of course."

"maybe you'll like to listen to this." he said and hit play.

She waited for the song to start. It faded into a kind of hypnotic music and Ursula began to wonder if she had made the right choice by getting in the taxi with this guy.

But soon the music changed into a pop one and one by one each genre of music played, sometimes in English, sometimes in Korean and many different languages. But they all fit together as one piece of music.

Three minutes passed and the song was over. She looked at him and realised he was smiling at her.

She immediately shook her head as she realised how lost she had gotten in that piece. He chuckled.

"it's okay. I'm just glad you liked it."

"what was that? I've never heard anything like that."

"I made that. Haven't really shared it anywhere so only a few people have heard it."

"you made that? Oh my god. That is amazing!"
"well, thank you. "he smiled shyly.

"can you send it to me?"
" um... " he hesitated for a second but then agreed.

He shared a few more pieces that he had made and Ursula promised to listen to them.

He called his piece a 'Random'. The other pieces were named 'English' and 'Peter' and things like that. Ursula didn't think it would be nice to ask him to explain the naming so she let it be.

Her house arrived and they bid farewell.

"nice to meet you Ursula. I hope your headphones get well soon." he smiled.

"nice to meet you too, Ian." she let out a soft laugh. "and thanks for Random" she smiled one of her sweet smiles.

He laughed and waved goodbye as the taxi took off.
