LEIGH-ARI

My conversation with Laura had made me think of my decision and everything i have done ever since that incident. And i knew for a fact that i was really being yellow, running away from my own mess which i sadly, would have to fix at the very end. Because truthfully, i couldn’t stay at Laura’s house any longer. Not because my girl wanted me out or she was complaining about my very unwanted and disturbing residence at her house.

Thus after a very long minute of deep thinking, I concluded on going back to my house and just see what life has in store for me. If Neighbor Dearest came to address what had happened, then I would be there to give him answers and even ask questions of my own. Although I really didn’t know what I would say if he happened to ask!

I arrived at my house late at night and luckily, I didn’t run into him in the corridor or anywhere and for that; I was very appeased! In the morning, I woke up early since I had a lot of patients to visit and some documents I had to attend to. I prepared my stuff and at 05:30 sharp, opened my door and locked it behind. I gracefully walked towards the elevator, got in and watched as it closed.

Right before it could sling shut, none but Neighbor Dearest stuck his expensive black shiny dress shoe on the double doors preventing them to close. He gave me a small smile then majestically walked into the small cubicle and stole all the air inside; I couldn’t help but shudder a bit.

“Ahhhh! She is still alive!” he said in a small voice looking at me. I decided to give the mirrored doors of the elevator my undivided attention and flatly replied:

“Good morning to you too!”

“Hmm. A very good morning indeed!” he intoned and then looked forward. I counted seconds, minutes, hours, and definitely centuries before the elevator stopped and the doors slung open. In a blink of an eye, I was out the elevator and running down the stairs towards my car, outside the apartment building.

“Care to give me a ride? They towed my car yesterday and I really need to get to work.” His voice boomed somewhere behind me, which was rather too close to say the least and I had to stop dead in my tracks and tum to look at him. And yes, he did follow me.

“I need to get to work.” I pointed out giving him a sharp eye, not that he wasn’t aware!

“So do i!”

think you will always get your way with me.” I pointed an accusing finger at him and then turned. The clunking of my heels against the hard paved concrete ground was the only thing that was heard as I walked towards my car. I unlocked it and placed my paraphernalia in the front seat and then got in behind

the passenger’s door and settled down. I will give it to him, he looked really yummy and his cologne blessed the interior of my car with its heavenly musk and expensive scent.
