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."436Please respect copyright.PENANASm0Qhck3hW

"But she cute tho isn't she?" Kai devilishly smiled trying to make me admit it.436Please respect copyright.PENANAqzOMLVYI1D
436Please respect copyright.PENANAtnsDCLjwV8
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQoSsDR5CsB
436Please respect copyright.PENANAkKi8Xder0i
I didn't even look at him.436Please respect copyright.PENANANQkkpUoDzd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAeDk6fczrbp
"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. 436Please respect copyright.PENANARDsrHlOlNi

436Please respect copyright.PENANA61Zyzs1PLD

I smirked and continued to keep my eyes on the road, now knowing I won't have anything or anyone disturbing me.436Please respect copyright.PENANAhT6ykx9C0L

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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAxDGS1wpaAW

12:45 p.m.
I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was time for my lunch break. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAle56dvF82x
436Please respect copyright.PENANAVdfXPOl48G
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. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAh7z8aI12P5
436Please respect copyright.PENANA14TVnlSfuq
He was right. 436Please respect copyright.PENANA14VUWNvSMr
436Please respect copyright.PENANAvlJA1gSEmz
"Kai."
"What?"436Please respect copyright.PENANANbrJ6yiwus
436Please respect copyright.PENANATyrGoJ45mv
"There was a reason why I even went to her apartment."436Please respect copyright.PENANARcukyYd6m9
436Please respect copyright.PENANACsOyBhEcOg
Kai calmed down once again and was ready to hear what I was about to say. 436Please respect copyright.PENANANgrLS0CqDs
436Please respect copyright.PENANAdAMbki1WSa
"It was thundering that day. Thundering really bad. I couldn't sleep. I began to sweat and lose control of my body Kai."436Please respect copyright.PENANAsGz4JYNO8s
436Please respect copyright.PENANARWD88dAMyw
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANALu6ITtbysO
436Please respect copyright.PENANACRiPiABxR8
"Even if I couldn't see them, they'd still be there."436Please respect copyright.PENANAONVfPqiNgG
436Please respect copyright.PENANAWnJ3bGDzQ4
Kai slowly raised his eyebrows staying silent. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. 436Please respect copyright.PENANACAPkBOdJuL
436Please respect copyright.PENANAs3o49lJXVF
Eventually, "I'm so sorry dude." Came out.436Please respect copyright.PENANAhaUV3Qg4vo
436Please respect copyright.PENANAtUli02dABZ
I shook my head, "No it's ok." And smiled.436Please respect copyright.PENANAlDXmyrrZYP
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaCblrgpAPR
"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-"436Please respect copyright.PENANAZoB1aRTbU8
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z3CjcVXUH
"But?"
"Something is just drawing me to her."436Please respect copyright.PENANALFNICCeFLv
436Please respect copyright.PENANAtpGuE3t3Dk
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ka6R7G4Xr
436Please respect copyright.PENANAH1xrAGnD2g
"Hm? Nothin."436Please respect copyright.PENANAyRxRezLF59
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQEDF1nWkkf
"You'll figure it out."436Please respect copyright.PENANAWcU29oLhiq
436Please respect copyright.PENANA7GkQPl607r
6:30 p.m.
Work was finally over and I was driving home.436Please respect copyright.PENANAblnsGh5rlY
436Please respect copyright.PENANAX6163DArvE
I couldn't stop thinking about what Kai said, 436Please respect copyright.PENANA6TgVild4HA
436Please respect copyright.PENANAYcaoi29TMJ
"Nothin, you'll figure it out." 436Please respect copyright.PENANATSBuZs986A
436Please respect copyright.PENANA7WciKeQuQp
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAEVXIpHef3i
436Please respect copyright.PENANANkpWUVbc9L
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." 436Please respect copyright.PENANAuhQDw0qCfd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAoSJnwmRoCR
Oh yeah, it's her dog sitter.436Please respect copyright.PENANAg8vOeAtYoa
436Please respect copyright.PENANAV3p61UeyjZ
"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." 436Please respect copyright.PENANAp1mBu0UR2W
436Please respect copyright.PENANAetjVC4CkYO
Suddenly Mable got a message.436Please respect copyright.PENANAoDPiOMmUcn
436Please respect copyright.PENANAtYrLUChF1h
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. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAnpZxy08roB
436Please respect copyright.PENANALpdcwVWNoo
"Can I have it?"436Please respect copyright.PENANASHeCTfmruv
436Please respect copyright.PENANAZPCpOmitOS
"Yes of course. But why don't you have her number? You're her neighbor." She asked, puzzled. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAABva09X1p0
436Please respect copyright.PENANAjR1R8Vp5hw
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAtHuS5Nb1Ne
436Please respect copyright.PENANA1Aj1KFUKEf
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAe4J4EO4cxL
436Please respect copyright.PENANAKPEjzgcOGR
"Man she's terrible." 436Please respect copyright.PENANA5k6RdSXQ34
436Please respect copyright.PENANAVVltDHCeFf
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. 436Please respect copyright.PENANACXBH0GLCk1
436Please respect copyright.PENANADzAaCXOzc2
Sahana may be a hard rock on the outside,436Please respect copyright.PENANA28uzL7HU8I
436Please respect copyright.PENANAWF9tLrlH63
but once you break through,436Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ1YTDH7nQ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAAMUhziPk3j
436Please respect copyright.PENANAEqtTjD7dus
436Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dq0qWyoqJ
she's a softy. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAon8BpcEJab
436Please respect copyright.PENANANHNAhdTRPY
"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. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAMGk5vCQ2lj
436Please respect copyright.PENANAto8D2pJDo2
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAtZmueo3qpO
436Please respect copyright.PENANAYA6DLWt0qT
No response.436Please respect copyright.PENANAlktRxwxJoT
436Please respect copyright.PENANAVMejbBDDEP
"But she read it." I stared at my message sent to her and under it: Read. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAY7DusiKUIs
436Please respect copyright.PENANAAVcenMr1AG
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAbeoZz3Zre1
436Please respect copyright.PENANABA1TjKWm83
I sighed,436Please respect copyright.PENANAR29kLE2Cjb
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0aDxeOxjV
436Please respect copyright.PENANAOcwQnnsiYc
436Please respect copyright.PENANAeMnliEb4B9
