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."637Please respect copyright.PENANAF7zaZZUhQM

"But she cute tho isn't she?" Kai devilishly smiled trying to make me admit it.637Please respect copyright.PENANAq3CwNt2Il1
637Please respect copyright.PENANACGw5b0vo5A
637Please respect copyright.PENANApAuE59KFyy
637Please respect copyright.PENANA94f5axXlNP
I didn't even look at him.637Please respect copyright.PENANA0EX3GQktUq
637Please respect copyright.PENANAwc3qzKN1d1
"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. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7yBomAodo

637Please respect copyright.PENANAklyR3b6ODo
637Please respect copyright.PENANA7NR8m6aXLd
I smirked and continued to keep my eyes on the road, now knowing I won't have anything or anyone disturbing me.637Please respect copyright.PENANAhLwiKpd5kF

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.637Please respect copyright.PENANAg8Mowl49y9

12:45 p.m.
I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was time for my lunch break. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAk6IXoQF31i
637Please respect copyright.PENANA6WmarDkUIx
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. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAUjMenw23ff
637Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kp0lTDIjq
He was right. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAIXH6y3kbgv
637Please respect copyright.PENANACzosWCXbzj
"Kai."
"What?"637Please respect copyright.PENANAx39jM8u5U5
637Please respect copyright.PENANAqY2JscM79P
"There was a reason why I even went to her apartment."637Please respect copyright.PENANAm9pRsLsQtM
637Please respect copyright.PENANAx5g1PzRNxJ
Kai calmed down once again and was ready to hear what I was about to say. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAxWZ5PicY3r
637Please respect copyright.PENANAa3hOChZY1s
"It was thundering that day. Thundering really bad. I couldn't sleep. I began to sweat and lose control of my body Kai."637Please respect copyright.PENANA6RcrigDTYd
637Please respect copyright.PENANA3PrbzKtlQf
"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."637Please respect copyright.PENANAmlA1UVkakI
637Please respect copyright.PENANAXZg0nOTzh1
"Even if I couldn't see them, they'd still be there."637Please respect copyright.PENANAsMvSZs4geI
637Please respect copyright.PENANAZB9A6Gt2oa
Kai slowly raised his eyebrows staying silent. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAiWE80sK9iK
637Please respect copyright.PENANAgWA6v5J99K
Eventually, "I'm so sorry dude." Came out.637Please respect copyright.PENANAKMldfRgf7L
637Please respect copyright.PENANAG2f3YhGsc8
I shook my head, "No it's ok." And smiled.637Please respect copyright.PENANAh8M2U8wFnr
637Please respect copyright.PENANA1S1Sa0lgyv
"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-"637Please respect copyright.PENANAiKOh287fTS
637Please respect copyright.PENANAIEmbsGtzIa
"But?"
"Something is just drawing me to her."637Please respect copyright.PENANAHVvD8kZo0V
637Please respect copyright.PENANAmJzQLfoKRR
"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.637Please respect copyright.PENANAfyacahLCdU
637Please respect copyright.PENANA3qMp13OAi7
"Hm? Nothin."637Please respect copyright.PENANANkWh2Pmy9G
637Please respect copyright.PENANAUmcpiemNTL
"You'll figure it out."637Please respect copyright.PENANA9mkxj3zKtL
637Please respect copyright.PENANASDrYeBEcuF
6:30 p.m.
Work was finally over and I was driving home.637Please respect copyright.PENANA0K4Gn4qrCN
637Please respect copyright.PENANAL8ibAV5fCw
I couldn't stop thinking about what Kai said, 637Please respect copyright.PENANAOCAp5qy3Ch
637Please respect copyright.PENANA2J61eDD8Hi
"Nothin, you'll figure it out." 637Please respect copyright.PENANAAs2MsVaV51
637Please respect copyright.PENANABWTPoyNdda
"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.637Please respect copyright.PENANAaK7Fw5Z4mL
637Please respect copyright.PENANANaF22M04Z6
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." 637Please respect copyright.PENANAeSkEG1Z5li
637Please respect copyright.PENANAbiM8EbdrOb
Oh yeah, it's her dog sitter.637Please respect copyright.PENANALYHQMTlpWi
637Please respect copyright.PENANAepLCAnhhum
"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." 637Please respect copyright.PENANAVGsj6syXeR
637Please respect copyright.PENANAcY5SOa8r9e
Suddenly Mable got a message.637Please respect copyright.PENANAwRakVYW8um
637Please respect copyright.PENANAGWP0Ggpjls
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. 637Please respect copyright.PENANA90ZsINQrfH
637Please respect copyright.PENANA5sn40rMNAY
"Can I have it?"637Please respect copyright.PENANAv1TY23EjhS
637Please respect copyright.PENANAqntROIifsK
"Yes of course. But why don't you have her number? You're her neighbor." She asked, puzzled. 637Please respect copyright.PENANA2loGLbgedb
637Please respect copyright.PENANAZkm83m0DdR
"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.637Please respect copyright.PENANAP61wsXGSoq
637Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ttRfyxqF
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.637Please respect copyright.PENANAw2mPfBleyp
637Please respect copyright.PENANAn0m76kv5jW
"Man she's terrible." 637Please respect copyright.PENANAfkZJGyOxCn
637Please respect copyright.PENANA0Th0sjeH98
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. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAuE1trgfokO
637Please respect copyright.PENANAvqh2uH00h2
Sahana may be a hard rock on the outside,637Please respect copyright.PENANAQGfitgmBNS
637Please respect copyright.PENANAUdoxiApClW
but once you break through,637Please respect copyright.PENANAhy03Iikys2
637Please respect copyright.PENANALIghKSEWcW
637Please respect copyright.PENANAyHvzm6V7b9
637Please respect copyright.PENANAZTbexVhAwr
she's a softy. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAH1paxiulBz
637Please respect copyright.PENANAvlaioFpTrL
"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. 637Please respect copyright.PENANASXAi8gGphs
637Please respect copyright.PENANAdozJSxkkic
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.637Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ0qlUCihY
637Please respect copyright.PENANAqKLvoAVG2i
No response.637Please respect copyright.PENANAsLh1cSvXqK
637Please respect copyright.PENANAZHiskddXJp
"But she read it." I stared at my message sent to her and under it: Read. 637Please respect copyright.PENANAciitoj9mIO
637Please respect copyright.PENANA4NeklSw18b
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.637Please respect copyright.PENANAknjqtpPR3S
637Please respect copyright.PENANAm39bJZMsKU
I sighed,637Please respect copyright.PENANAJySX8Ie0BG
637Please respect copyright.PENANAN1UUpUlUdO
637Please respect copyright.PENANAWInrEd5fqo
637Please respect copyright.PENANAG7iFdwBUDJ
"I guess you're coming with me then."637Please respect copyright.PENANAsWX7tqSnr9
