Riley thanked the woman when she handed her the latte, but froze at the name she mentioned. [i]Alex..[/i] Turning, she noticed the man who just sat down, wearing a familiar black jacket. It had been a few years, three to be exact, since she last saw her friend, and in some ways a brother. Slowly she walked over to this man, curiosity getting the best of her. She knew deep down it was Alex. Her Alex. She smiled, lighting up inside. "Alex?" She said, grinning from ear to ear. Riley moved to the side, in disbelief who she saw. "Oh my god, Alex!" She exclaimed, setting her coffee down to give him a tight hug.

She sat down beside him. The barrista brought over his coffee, shooting Riley a glare as she did so before returning to work. "How have you been? It's been so long." Riley said. She took in his new look, and damn was it good. She knew she changed too, having finally developed her curves, filling out more. "I've missed you, Alex." She said with a sincere smile.
