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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAzZmUJJkAp6

622Please respect copyright.PENANAaHmXuaFrGv
"But she cute tho isn't she?" Kai devilishly smiled trying to make me admit it.622Please respect copyright.PENANAg1c6SU7S36
622Please respect copyright.PENANAQJrXH0S5l0
622Please respect copyright.PENANAW6ebD4L8lj
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVFMoAnIvMj
I didn't even look at him.622Please respect copyright.PENANAvKTX5pl1T3
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYJP8832MeG
"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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bt1dLSHla

622Please respect copyright.PENANAYwJUqINOTd
622Please respect copyright.PENANA6nc16oQOss
I smirked and continued to keep my eyes on the road, now knowing I won't have anything or anyone disturbing me.622Please respect copyright.PENANAtNa5CklIN1

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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA3cq1pVoIEf

622Please respect copyright.PENANAY3ktGD5dUt
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4SVBFMdYWV
12:45 p.m.
I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was time for my lunch break. 622Please respect copyright.PENANANyOUqPGlri
622Please respect copyright.PENANAI2C6GItYf8
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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAMMS6emytRN
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9RzHE0eli4
He was right. 622Please respect copyright.PENANA1rVU5EK4bE
622Please respect copyright.PENANA5oCXikLUDX
"Kai."
"What?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAkdWWIZYctH
622Please respect copyright.PENANA7qTVRhPSm9
"There was a reason why I even went to her apartment."622Please respect copyright.PENANA3S2wP8nIWv
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYRa5IoHKAs
Kai calmed down once again and was ready to hear what I was about to say. 622Please respect copyright.PENANA8WFvCxB5yk
622Please respect copyright.PENANA7tGlFQ2MV3
"It was thundering that day. Thundering really bad. I couldn't sleep. I began to sweat and lose control of my body Kai."622Please respect copyright.PENANAv7CorYIXOD
622Please respect copyright.PENANAdY3468fREL
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAbndH3YOVfa
622Please respect copyright.PENANAAjr8FlAbqm
"Even if I couldn't see them, they'd still be there."622Please respect copyright.PENANAya8y3ICR9n
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMwtP03L0f2
Kai slowly raised his eyebrows staying silent. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAGC4AqAwcZl
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4rWW6K4L1B
Eventually, "I'm so sorry dude." Came out.622Please respect copyright.PENANAwRWfo0rxN8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAobqTqfc1qX
I shook my head, "No it's ok." And smiled.622Please respect copyright.PENANAbY6LLcPG31
622Please respect copyright.PENANAK9JA4VNczR
"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-"622Please respect copyright.PENANAJdFrUVqgva
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0IPui4o5yN
"But?"
"Something is just drawing me to her."622Please respect copyright.PENANAJYrbu4bGf4
622Please respect copyright.PENANAGgWUDj6H21
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANACMG5tiSfja
622Please respect copyright.PENANAc7WuZlLze8
"Hm? Nothin."622Please respect copyright.PENANAb5a7JSKl4G
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmmRPOkCofR
"You'll figure it out."622Please respect copyright.PENANA7cUjaPP8O0
622Please respect copyright.PENANAi9u626khBR
6:30 p.m.
Work was finally over and I was driving home.622Please respect copyright.PENANAoubT4CmKsz
622Please respect copyright.PENANAWipYrSCRBo
I couldn't stop thinking about what Kai said, 622Please respect copyright.PENANA7T0QeVPgX1
622Please respect copyright.PENANADl7Whr4xxF
"Nothin, you'll figure it out." 622Please respect copyright.PENANAhn1oCGPudd
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8btvxtwJ5I
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANALEPMnYmO6x
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzsSIrrZEhB
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." 622Please respect copyright.PENANA3LQGpBubTo
622Please respect copyright.PENANAkEXdRq0pxv
Oh yeah, it's her dog sitter.622Please respect copyright.PENANAiDRrUnecOI
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2TbjFOWLkG
"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." 622Please respect copyright.PENANA8a72WDQ8Mm
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4nM7lrBLje
Suddenly Mable got a message.622Please respect copyright.PENANAONigHn97m2
622Please respect copyright.PENANAARH77ACp5j
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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAbaFwsy5hUn
622Please respect copyright.PENANAcWNPLd4KUX
"Can I have it?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAfH23YsrqOd
622Please respect copyright.PENANAPAg9ozWqO2
"Yes of course. But why don't you have her number? You're her neighbor." She asked, puzzled. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAH5YZjw9SLe
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvNHcZvz6gh
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANARSLKplSn7A
622Please respect copyright.PENANALbkKqbrPAT
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANATB1MqfIDZp
622Please respect copyright.PENANAJowPPy3TFD
"Man she's terrible." 622Please respect copyright.PENANAhESgxGgza0
622Please respect copyright.PENANAwuYL4FmDDy
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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAHHJuceHqfZ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAR8rNLmGRs8
Sahana may be a hard rock on the outside,622Please respect copyright.PENANAHZgvAc22iX
622Please respect copyright.PENANAwKeHnfNr6I
but once you break through,622Please respect copyright.PENANAc7U2YGAEVe
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ok0NCJtq2
622Please respect copyright.PENANAUpG1OMjfFT
622Please respect copyright.PENANA5fHvyVjGMI
she's a softy. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAkwmCA9ISR8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAT02mv4obgK
"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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAoNgS4S9ybw
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYqs7OsJfQQ
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAhksfDjYSql
622Please respect copyright.PENANANZR4dPxrJ8
No response.622Please respect copyright.PENANAL0RESmt2hp
622Please respect copyright.PENANANmhjLwPIWe
"But she read it." I stared at my message sent to her and under it: Read. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAoygRfhCz1V
622Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sx1nsu299
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAEIyh52KvH9
622Please respect copyright.PENANAuOCpAeLZex
I sighed,622Please respect copyright.PENANApftX7A1d3n
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9ciUjORGpm
622Please respect copyright.PENANABEcaZHFIrJ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAGN80kBlZVh
