You'll never guess who I bumped into at lunch today! Guess. Okay, I'll save you the suspense. It was Belle. Could not F-ing believe it. Total shock. She's supposed to be like 40 miles away from here, not 0.4 miles.
I went to lunch with some guys from work. We went to a cafe that's about 2 blocks from work. (We drove. ha.) This cafe is in one of the large office buildings in this industrial park area. So, it's not someplace the general public would go to. Anyways, we walk in, and I go to the order line. I ask the girl standing there, if she is in line. It's her! She recognized me immediately. I took 1.5 seconds. She was there getting lunch, of course. We said, hi how are you. What are you doing here (I think I asked that). She said she just started working at CPS (Child Protective Services) on the 1st. Shock. I was shocky. Still am. I was with my coworkers, so it's not like I wanted to be getting into an actual conversation and then have them ask about her. So, I asked her again if she was in line to order. She was still thinking, and said to go ahead. So, I said, have a good lunch. I ordered the buffet. I saw her as she walked out with carry out. She didn't look back.
I continued eating in shock. Of course, trying to look normal and involved in the lunch conversations. I couldn't tell whether my face was flushed or pale. I was feeling all shaky inside and not wanting to show a bit of it.
: Holy. Shit.
Yeah, exactly. I haven't seen her since about Feb-March 2006. And, the last time I talked to her was Jan. 2007, when she called me out of the blue after almost a year of no contact. [I could cite references to previous posts, but just check the label 'belle'. I don't want to go there right now. Thanks.]
(Later today, I saw my coworker, Jeff, in the hall, and I realized, I am sooo glad he wasn't there. He's met her. He didn't (doesn't) know who she was to me. He knows nothing about my involvement with her. I am soo glad he wasn't there. He's a hugger, and it would've gotten more attention from my fellow coworkers and be even more awkward. Sigh. So, it could've been even worse.)
: So...aside from the shock. How're you holding up?
Holding up okay. It's like I just need to breathe.
: Yes. breathe. Hugs.
thanks

I texted my dear friend Kay while I was riding back with my coworker. He needed to pick up some photos at the store.
'OH My F-ing G-d! You won't believe who I bumped into!'
She called back while I was in the store. (And, texted me 'Who?')
'Hello? Hello?'
'Who?'
'{Belle}'
... I had to cut it short, because I was getting in the truck with my friend. I didn't want to be a party to my conversation. 'Can I call you back in a few minutes?' 'Sure'
So, I called Kay back. We talk a few minutes. She understands.
She said, she guessed 5 possibilities, Belle, M., William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, or Wil Wheaton. The first two would be shocking. The last three would be totally surprising. (M. is an ex-friend and an ex-bf of Kay's and a whole another story.)
I told Kay, I thought about wanting to know more about what's happening with Belle. But, it's probably best that our meeting was brief and detached. Sigh.

Just got back from lunch. I'm still shaking from shock. I bumped into Belle. Total, total shock. I'll post about that for sure. Shock.
| ohmygaod, ohmy god, how did it go with belle ?????
Well, I kept my calm as best as I could, so it went okay. I was there with other coworkers, so I didn't want to get into a real conversation, well besides being in total shock too.
