Kai and I were driving to work while he kept on shooting me with questions,
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SAHANA WAS YOUR NEIGHBOR??"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HER?"
"DO YOU THINK SHE'S PRETTY? UGLY? NOT YOUR TYPE?"
"DO YOU SEE YOURSELF GETTING MARRIED TO HER BECAUSE YOU KNOW I GOTCHU WHEN IT COMES TO THAT STUFF."
"DO YOU KNOW IF SHE HAS A BOY-"
I immediately cut him off, "WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP PLEASE??! I DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT HER BECAUSE OF WHAT IS EXACTLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!?
"ONCE YOU FIND THE SLIGHTEST BIT ABOUT ANY "RELATIONSHIP" I HAVE WITH A WOMAN YOU GO APE SHIT ON ME, ASKING ALL THESE DUMBASS QUESTIONS??!"
Kai became silent and whispered while slightly pouting, "I'm sorry, I just thought there was something going on between you guys, and that you couldn't tell me."
I sighed, "It's ok. Just know that there is NOTHING going on between us. And besides, I'm not even ready to date again let alone MARRY."676Please respect copyright.PENANA4ykE51Oyfe

"But she cute tho isn't she?" Kai devilishly smiled trying to make me admit it.676Please respect copyright.PENANAPKlK0bFTGZ
676Please respect copyright.PENANALlzswWjhIa
676Please respect copyright.PENANANyQTznNEKm
676Please respect copyright.PENANACBJ1EEuF2h
I didn't even look at him.676Please respect copyright.PENANAYXRRvD95BB
676Please respect copyright.PENANAwycnelkWDq
"You better get outta this car in 5 seconds BEFORE I DO IT MYSELF." I slapped his head hard and I heard him whining from pain. 676Please respect copyright.PENANA9d2CvXyzSN

676Please respect copyright.PENANAOlowNk9rCA

I smirked and continued to keep my eyes on the road, now knowing I won't have anything or anyone disturbing me.676Please respect copyright.PENANAE44riWvuxM

We finally reached the office and entered walking towards the elevator. "Wait, why did you even come to my apartment, Kai?"
I could tell Kai was still butthurt from me smacking him on the head, since he didn't face me, "I came to surprise you, dummy. Boss said I didn't have to go to work early and could come whenever I wanted."
"But how did you know boss told me that too?" I asked.
Kai faced me and smiled while placing his hand on my shoulder, "Instinct my friend, instinct." "Pfft, what the hell do you mean instinct." I laughed.
"Yeah you're right I just assumed." Kai laughed along, "If I got to come to work late, most likely you would too."
I nodded, " Yeah you're right. I mean it's not like you would benefit boss if you came early anyway."
The elevator opened and I exited while snickering to myself.
"HEY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT YOU ASSHOLE" I heard behind me as Kai was chasing after me.676Please respect copyright.PENANADr32KCix6B

12:45 p.m.
I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was time for my lunch break. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAAQWvwkbLE4
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUuNmwQ5TS2
I headed to Kai's area and knocked on his table to get his attention. "Hey it's lunch time let's go get something to eat."
Kai coldly replied, "No I don't want to eat with you, I already made plans with Lucas."
I knew he was lying.
Kai is the WORST liar you could possibly meet in your entire lifetime.
But seriously? This baby is still butthurt?
And then it clicked.
I knew a way.
"How about we get...some ramennn? It's on mee." I innocently smiled at him.
It didn't take Kai long to change his cold angry expression to a happy and excited one, "Hehe okay I forgive you." He stood up and from his chair and quickly grabbed his phone and wallet, leaving me in satisfaction.
"Operation: make the baby happy, was successful," I whispered to myself. "Leggoo" Kai said, swinging his arm over my shoulder and caused me to do the same.
We reached the ramen bar and entered. "Irashai-mase!!" all the workers yelled out.
We sat down and ordered while chatting about random things, but somehow came to the topic of what happened this morning.
"Since now you know about Sahana and I being neighbors, there is something I have been meaning to get off of my chest." I explained.
"What is it?" Kai asked. I hesitated, "Well, to begin with, my first interaction with her didn't go so well, and didn't give off a good impression of me."
Kai became more curious, "What did you do Jai?" I scratched the back of my neck, indicating that I didn't really want to tell him, but his face expressed: I don't give the slightest shit.
"Well... I kind of snuck into her apartment, thinking that she would be ok with it...." Kai's eyes slowly widened, then his mouth.
But before he was about to scream his guts out, I closed his mouth with my hand but Kai swatted it away.
"Are you fucking out of your goddamn mind?? Why would you do something like that?? Even I know not to sneak into someone's fucking apartment?!" he tried his best to not cause a scene.
I gestured my hands to try and calm him down, "Ok, ok I know what I did was wrong-"
Kai cut me off, "WRONG? Jai, wrong is not the word for what you did?! You could have gone to ja-"
Then I cut him off. "Just listen to me will you?" I stared at him until he was completely silent and then continued, "Ok, I thought she wouldn't mind me coming over to her apartment because I thought she knew me. We passed each other several times and she smiled at me."
"But did she ever come up and talk to you?" Kai asked while pressing down on the bridge of his nose.
I looked down, "No.."
"Then why the hell do you think she would know you??" Kai gritting his teeth. 676Please respect copyright.PENANA8IwwUG6iFn
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoFcEKi85JS
He was right. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAvbHtqGLLkO
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvEzrcDrQK9
"Kai."
"What?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAf9VHMEButm
676Please respect copyright.PENANAuI8kL9ME4u
"There was a reason why I even went to her apartment."676Please respect copyright.PENANANnZyIbRAnv
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPidn4dcFUz
Kai calmed down once again and was ready to hear what I was about to say. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAH9upbbNqhF
676Please respect copyright.PENANAqxL9eDwsFI
"It was thundering that day. Thundering really bad. I couldn't sleep. I began to sweat and lose control of my body Kai."676Please respect copyright.PENANAQM5hTXol5E
676Please respect copyright.PENANAH5VrTioS5m
"Before anything else would start happening to me, I thought if I went to Sahana's apartment I would know that someone would at least be there with me if anything happened."676Please respect copyright.PENANA6bW1XI2pda
676Please respect copyright.PENANA154tN2hosU
"Even if I couldn't see them, they'd still be there."676Please respect copyright.PENANA3zPXuEs8PA
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjoqXQW3kl6
Kai slowly raised his eyebrows staying silent. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAOeByytX0tZ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgCrFqD44Us
Eventually, "I'm so sorry dude." Came out.676Please respect copyright.PENANA5trUjHyO7P
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3ETSDtZ64f
I shook my head, "No it's ok." And smiled.676Please respect copyright.PENANAjTj1Qocgqn
676Please respect copyright.PENANAqGsPRzzPQJ
"But that wasn't even the thing I wanted to tell you about."
.
Kai was confused, "What do you mean?"
"See, I don't know why my mind has been occupied with this, but-"676Please respect copyright.PENANACF6B1BnYBi
676Please respect copyright.PENANAWgCneBlWc5
"But?"
"Something is just drawing me to her."676Please respect copyright.PENANAJTN4kaocwT
676Please respect copyright.PENANAY32kNZoKoa
"A couple of days ago, or maybe even a week now, she looked stressed out so I invited her to have some chai."
"But then I asked if we could be friends, and once she heard that she dashed out."
"I have so many unanswered questions."
"Why did she run out like that?"
"Does she hate me?"
"And...why did I even ask to be friends with her?"
I groaned in frustration and ran my fingers through my hair.
I looked up at Kai and this time he was at whole different type of speechless. His face was completely amused, "And you said there's NOTHING going on between ya'll"
"I. Knew. It." he smiled from ear to ear.
"Huh? Knew what?" I asked.676Please respect copyright.PENANARwGRb8rM54
676Please respect copyright.PENANARRupIWVyv8
"Hm? Nothin."676Please respect copyright.PENANAc4oefk6N8v
676Please respect copyright.PENANAlBodPCiLX8
"You'll figure it out."676Please respect copyright.PENANArGbBf3FWGs
676Please respect copyright.PENANAx4TDenMkcg
6:30 p.m.
Work was finally over and I was driving home.676Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0jWZqD2Te
676Please respect copyright.PENANAH7w4EryjqG
I couldn't stop thinking about what Kai said, 676Please respect copyright.PENANAwyB3sJZxP1
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMreU6ivcq4
"Nothin, you'll figure it out." 676Please respect copyright.PENANAbXzfsY3Gh7
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7r1tcGwKW2
"What the hell does he mean by that? I thought he would give me some advice on what I should do with Sahana but no."
"Instead he gives me one of his dumb meaningless lines." I sighed and started playing some music to distract myself.676Please respect copyright.PENANAsdggYU1O9B
676Please respect copyright.PENANAyihKTdgayM
I reached home and saw a lady in front of Sahana's apartment.
I walked up to her, "Excuse me ma'am do you need help with something?" The woman turned to face me.
She was in her middle-ages and seemed very friendly. Slight streaks of grey flew throughout her hair, forming a bun, which complimented her style: a simple patterned blouse, with trousers and low inched heels.
"Oh, no I'm fine thank you." She smiled, "I'm just here to feed the dog of the person who lives here." 676Please respect copyright.PENANAaG1Plr00tp
676Please respect copyright.PENANAYhfTdPKsWi
Oh yeah, it's her dog sitter.676Please respect copyright.PENANAc9PwUqg2gS
676Please respect copyright.PENANAS3TrEQFRJE
"So you're Sahana's dog sitter? I'm her neighbor Jai," I introduced myself.
"Nice to meet you! I am Mable." She smiled. "Nice to meet you," I smiled back. "Well, I'll get going now. See you later." 676Please respect copyright.PENANApgFISkLtR1
676Please respect copyright.PENANA33hMtnOTvK
Suddenly Mable got a message.676Please respect copyright.PENANAf4pNrxitLx
676Please respect copyright.PENANAuyoJlZN2QA
As she was reading it, slight panic crept throughout her face. "Oh no, I have to head out right now. Do you mind feeding Monty? Something came up." She pleaded.
"No problem. Is everything ok?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Yes everything is fine, just children causing problems," she chuckled, shaking her head.
"Ok feed him one cup," Mable handed me the keys to Sahana's apartment, "Keep these with you, I have another pair at home." She smiled.
As she was about to leave, I stopped her, "Mable, do you have Sahana's number?" she nodded. 676Please respect copyright.PENANA2vkyBASdJZ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJsCHds3r3U
"Can I have it?"676Please respect copyright.PENANATBirKeil1P
676Please respect copyright.PENANAeK0yFTKgZK
"Yes of course. But why don't you have her number? You're her neighbor." She asked, puzzled. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAgG5JZXL9a2
676Please respect copyright.PENANACAuWetiwcn
"Um, I just moved in so I don't know her that well yet." I awkwardly laughed trying to convince her. Thank god it worked and she left.676Please respect copyright.PENANAun7mrxyiRy
676Please respect copyright.PENANABNUu3f622u
I entered into Sahana's apartment and was triggered by all the memories I had, when she knocked me out and tied me to a chair, making me sleep like that for the whole night.676Please respect copyright.PENANA3iaKtAeQFG
676Please respect copyright.PENANA1UoaphvjDr
"Man she's terrible." 676Please respect copyright.PENANASMot1c3psG
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMRNno7Rinm
But then I remembered how she acted the morning after, when she tried giving me blankets so I could sleep on the couch for a little, which made me slightly smile. 676Please respect copyright.PENANA2E7vGEIAzj
676Please respect copyright.PENANARmYsOQG0WR
Sahana may be a hard rock on the outside,676Please respect copyright.PENANAujEvJixRWT
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvxEkctInf4
but once you break through,676Please respect copyright.PENANATJVhT5fdlV
676Please respect copyright.PENANABAejwkdB4j
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnSUPJbN0wU
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzX1Jngcwvs
she's a softy. 676Please respect copyright.PENANA3UgyvaUoNf
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHh3gsTPeaS
"I guess she's not so bad after all." I said and looked at Monty, "Right Monty?" I gave him his food and began texting Sahana. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAywWEjqkkUw
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJIcoRyvnHv
Me: I fed Monty. Where are you?
For some reason, I felt nervous texting her. I wasn't even talking to her in person. My heart was slightly beating too fast as I waited for her reply.
Finally, I saw the speech bubbles.
Sahana: Um may I know who this is?
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell her it was me. God such a dumbass." I shook my head.
Me: Jai. You're neighbor Jai.676Please respect copyright.PENANANM80x8DlFC
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjq44YEsBkA
No response.676Please respect copyright.PENANA3Me7dfhCaP
676Please respect copyright.PENANArygpK4lnD9
"But she read it." I stared at my message sent to her and under it: Read. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAvgTHECJeHR
676Please respect copyright.PENANAWdcS5A8yC5
Monty finished his food and I was about to leave, when he slowly came up to me from behind. I felt him slightly nudge my calf with his nose.
It seemed like he didn't want me to go.
He didn't want to be alone again for so long.676Please respect copyright.PENANAvae2DDTIm1
676Please respect copyright.PENANAcq83jYKR9a
I sighed,676Please respect copyright.PENANAqgWD5JqCf3
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3bDvdwpmt0
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3glp9Ebydr
676Please respect copyright.PENANABDUlqxhDEB
"I guess you're coming with me then."676Please respect copyright.PENANAnJJjprydmL
