"Why don't we throw some questions with each other and see what more is similar to both of us?" Adie suggested.

"It's going to be a long night and I agree to that suggestion. Let's do this." Aldrich said and stretches his neck and arms, earning a laugh from Adie.

Aldrich reaches for the brandy that he's drinking and gulp it before saying "Let me do the honors of asking the questions?"

"Go on, shoot." Adie says while looking very intrigued.

"Education first. What schools did you attended?" Aldrich asked Adie.

"Well, I studied in Trinity and of course in NYU, what about you?" Adie asks back.

"During my early years, I studied in Willcocks in Keningston then Ludgrove School and of course in NYU." Aldrich answered. Adie's eyes got bigger when she heard that he studied in Willcocks and Ludgrove. "You looked surprised." Aldrich added.

"Well, that's because I studied in Ludgrove for like a year only." Adie surprisingly said and when Aldrich heard her, his eyes got bigger this time. Adie just nodded in agreement to what Aldrich is thinking.

"Wow! You know it's amazing that we almost have the same schools." Aldrich said. "But, I'm just curious. Why did you study in Ludgrove only for a year?" He asked.

"Well, that's because I've got in to a fight with one of the students. I was the only American in the whole grade and she's been discriminating against me from being one, especially my acccent. I've got furious and so things happened that led me back here in New York." Adie explained, shrugging her shoulders.

"Don't tell me you were the girl in an org headline "The hot chick fights back" "Aldrich said while laughing.

"Oh my gosh! The one who looks like sweeping the floor using the girl's hair?" Adie asks Aldrich while grinning widely.

"Yes! The very same. That's you?" Aldrich asks looking amaze. Adie nodded and the two laugh it off. "I was there in the picture too." Aldrich added.

"Wait, What?" Adie surprisingly said. "Why? How?" She added.

"I was at the crowd laughing at Beatrice. That's one hell of a fight if I can remember." Aldrich replied.

"Oh, yes. That's her name!" Adie replied back, still laughing. "I won't remember her name if you did not say it" she added.

Aldrich while still chuckling, shakes his head. He cannot believe that they already met years ago before University.

"You know, it's kind of creepy that we might have bumped each other but haven't had the chance to be introduced." Adie said. "And oh, if I can still recall, I believe I have heard some gossips around that time. I believe one royal also studied there secretly when we were there." Adie added, thinking if her memories serve her well.

"Yes, I heard that story too." Aldrich nodded his head in agreement.

"A lot of girls in my grade were looking out for him. It's like every boy that they see is like a royal or something. They've been doing some manhunt." Adie shares to Aldrich, laughing.

"Did you look for him?" Aldrich asks.

"Well, out of curiosity, I guess. But then I decided, I've got no time." Adie answered back. Aldrich just nodded and went on to ask another question. "So, that's the main reason why you left Ludgrove?" He asks.

Adie just looks at him curiously but dismissed it "Yes, and my parents misses me that's why after that year, I went back here in New York and never left the country to study to another." Adie replied.

It's amazing to know that people already met years ago and still find each other after years, a decade even. They won't know until later when they officially meet.

"So, what's next?" Adie asks to Aldrich who by the way replies with a grin. 

"So, we've covered your education and family, why don't we go straight to your love life?" Aldrich asks.

"Well, didn't we cover it earlier this morning?" Adie replied, smiling.

"Technically, yes. But, you know I know that its not the whole story." Aldrich said.

"Is it not the other way around? I think its you who will tell your story." Adie says. "Its the last text conversation we had. Now, if you could please tell your love story?" Adie said, looking like she won a battle. Batting her eyes as well will surely win her case. She's seen this happen quite a few times when she wants something she's trying to get.

Aldrich was just stunned with what he saw and release a sigh of surrender. She's making his heart quite weak. Adie's becoming his weakness.

"You win." Aldrich laughs. "Here's my story, you better sit tight." he added. "Let's order some snacks first so you'll something to eat while I induldge you in my pathetic and boring love life."
