I ran until the running ran out. Every time I heard that skateboard rolling on the pavement - I would take off running and hide. He was a friend to the owner's Son. He started asking the front desk guy who I was. The front desk guy started asking me why I kept running from him and mentioned that he got the impression the 'teen' wanted to meet me. I told him,Mama2HRB said:Did you chase down the skateboarder or how did you see him later? When the two of you first saw each other was there the look of recognition in his eyes?
"Heck NO! Tell him I have moved to Alaska."
When the front desk guy started asking me questions about it, I told him to talk to the cleaning lady - since she had seen the moment. But yeah, she told the Front desk guy what she saw that day and she said it looked as if both of us 'knew one' another. A few weeks later, I was talking to the front desk guy about my computer. He said he knew someone who could help me out with that. He told me to watch the front desk and he would go get him. He called me outside when he returned and there was the teen standing there was a devilish grin on his face. I had to shake his hand and I was 'mumbling my words and couldn't talk straight. He had some friendly chat about computers for a short time. I ran back into the Front desk and was kicking him in his behind. He was laughing and said,
"I don't know which of you has the bigger crush, you or him."
I told him I wasn't all that - and the reason I had mumbled is because he caught me off guard - and it was everything I could do to keep my feet in place and not run away. I tried to run for a few months after that. One night I was walking down Waikiki and saw someone I thought I knew and chased them down to say hello. When he turned around - it was him and I just started laughing. I recalled what the cleaning lady and Front desk guy had told me. I could run, but couldn't hide and destiny had a way that was going to bring us together, one day or one way - or another.
I was struggling to make ends meet at the time. I couldn't afford a plane ticket off the island, if I would have had the money - I would have been gone on the first flight out of there. If I had been on the mainland - I would have hitchhiked to a different state where I had friends that could have helped me out.
I was 'shaking my fist' at God because I felt it was a twist of fate that had stranded me on the island - and I knew God had a hand in making it impossible for me to run away.
Chase him down? Not on your life.
