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."699Please respect copyright.PENANAwkIcU8VJxW

"But she cute tho isn't she?" Kai devilishly smiled trying to make me admit it.699Please respect copyright.PENANAaQSJX2sEZ9
699Please respect copyright.PENANAucOUCNQtGH
699Please respect copyright.PENANAcgX87IEklN
699Please respect copyright.PENANAOkjgXqjZqv
I didn't even look at him.699Please respect copyright.PENANAkVajXeuKND
699Please respect copyright.PENANAxUT8mxZdUg
"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. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAeudRuEPokr

I smirked and continued to keep my eyes on the road, now knowing I won't have anything or anyone disturbing me.699Please respect copyright.PENANAz4WaRfln7M

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.699Please respect copyright.PENANA661eenH7Vl

12:45 p.m.
I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was time for my lunch break. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAaAjyk1RSNp
699Please respect copyright.PENANADj2FDUZ3ey
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. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAPLYLDwye8V
699Please respect copyright.PENANA0c8zZjEFvt
He was right. 699Please respect copyright.PENANA8mY6JNu2EQ
699Please respect copyright.PENANAFU8iOwQ3x1
"Kai."
"What?"699Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ8PjR3WnE
699Please respect copyright.PENANA7T4OA1IWRc
"There was a reason why I even went to her apartment."699Please respect copyright.PENANAHZQrAY0ggr
699Please respect copyright.PENANANbs7z9iuEn
Kai calmed down once again and was ready to hear what I was about to say. 699Please respect copyright.PENANA24lVbCkNIC
699Please respect copyright.PENANASrN2MFtQbg
"It was thundering that day. Thundering really bad. I couldn't sleep. I began to sweat and lose control of my body Kai."699Please respect copyright.PENANASRWDmNGLB9
699Please respect copyright.PENANAALscZ7a6qm
"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."699Please respect copyright.PENANA0bQLI5cZY2
699Please respect copyright.PENANAsKNbe1AqoL
"Even if I couldn't see them, they'd still be there."699Please respect copyright.PENANA9PSt2SWfll
699Please respect copyright.PENANAOm5eSXi1i2
Kai slowly raised his eyebrows staying silent. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAyrl6zNw4kE
699Please respect copyright.PENANAgEbcIKMyQU
Eventually, "I'm so sorry dude." Came out.699Please respect copyright.PENANAgEnJ0FJmCf
699Please respect copyright.PENANA6PzMYjnIDv
I shook my head, "No it's ok." And smiled.699Please respect copyright.PENANAG3mObAEoBd
699Please respect copyright.PENANASR7dOLKJzj
"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-"699Please respect copyright.PENANABlFAGCtks1
699Please respect copyright.PENANAupb81dsIe7
"But?"
"Something is just drawing me to her."699Please respect copyright.PENANAW8EmRgjxJr
699Please respect copyright.PENANAQxkV68Gu3l
"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.699Please respect copyright.PENANAMgH1sMuTm0
699Please respect copyright.PENANABPJOPGXAZR
"Hm? Nothin."699Please respect copyright.PENANAOAYlYWEpas
699Please respect copyright.PENANA9OcZXpzTPO
"You'll figure it out."699Please respect copyright.PENANA0dXjBTJDKh
699Please respect copyright.PENANAHCDZw2zRzf
6:30 p.m.
Work was finally over and I was driving home.699Please respect copyright.PENANAiTFgBfUSQz
699Please respect copyright.PENANAMYjYsX43DK
I couldn't stop thinking about what Kai said, 699Please respect copyright.PENANADL4oO0zXI0
699Please respect copyright.PENANATOSIkcJyKu
"Nothin, you'll figure it out." 699Please respect copyright.PENANAZ315qcK2KV
699Please respect copyright.PENANAcZBx2sZK96
"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.699Please respect copyright.PENANAxXI4xAMJZH
699Please respect copyright.PENANARaQbowF4dJ
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." 699Please respect copyright.PENANANHUaM2baae
699Please respect copyright.PENANASvNYeing0S
Oh yeah, it's her dog sitter.699Please respect copyright.PENANARPETdxJVbj
699Please respect copyright.PENANAUlY6Uk2PLS
"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." 699Please respect copyright.PENANA6jbmZnMQfx
699Please respect copyright.PENANA8aH4JtOR15
Suddenly Mable got a message.699Please respect copyright.PENANAPoWoFcKoVy
699Please respect copyright.PENANA84OIfdUwht
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. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAHEmRs9uWbp
699Please respect copyright.PENANAT1XcMgCP32
"Can I have it?"699Please respect copyright.PENANAVYRMdZbl3K
699Please respect copyright.PENANApQnwxvhtlS
"Yes of course. But why don't you have her number? You're her neighbor." She asked, puzzled. 699Please respect copyright.PENANArRKbN3hEUZ
699Please respect copyright.PENANA6WC8Jimlrc
"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.699Please respect copyright.PENANA2VzmTbGaYK
699Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qi90ZN70I
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.699Please respect copyright.PENANA0ADGCyz0Ke
699Please respect copyright.PENANAwShRqIp5WC
"Man she's terrible." 699Please respect copyright.PENANAFyNKB2mazp
699Please respect copyright.PENANACV7LXTtDWE
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. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAWyfAsEvhBl
699Please respect copyright.PENANA4LG8OmMVyG
Sahana may be a hard rock on the outside,699Please respect copyright.PENANA89mJQG6tVP
699Please respect copyright.PENANAVeOE6AlxjG
but once you break through,699Please respect copyright.PENANA6lEteGoZjz
699Please respect copyright.PENANADwY26TtljF
699Please respect copyright.PENANAw79KSZzrrX
699Please respect copyright.PENANAeMQzj7x9Jn
she's a softy. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAnahFLIvl9X
699Please respect copyright.PENANA2L0O1mYBo6
"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. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAb0c8WNk2BB
699Please respect copyright.PENANAvoTBs5fvoE
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.699Please respect copyright.PENANAZHXSyZE9i8
699Please respect copyright.PENANAKMM69rIqiU
No response.699Please respect copyright.PENANA0TU8N75p1B
699Please respect copyright.PENANATZcBeNUevm
"But she read it." I stared at my message sent to her and under it: Read. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAY6hvui49y1
699Please respect copyright.PENANA3IWRTj2Xkv
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.699Please respect copyright.PENANA2a7mt5jsuv
699Please respect copyright.PENANAZvu2P7wQrq
I sighed,699Please respect copyright.PENANAAKrp2Hz9zr
699Please respect copyright.PENANArlDaGysTwo
699Please respect copyright.PENANAxMvbxiFMF6
699Please respect copyright.PENANA5IbsJ8EnIk
"I guess you're coming with me then."699Please respect copyright.PENANAv8yLbqUeEc
