block. What the fuck?
“I could be asking you the same thing. What are you doing here?” The places he wanted to go to were well across town. This isn’t his neck of the woods, and he has no other friends that live around here for all I know.
“You sounded weird...I was coming to check up on you. You seem to have lost your mind, though, standing out here in the rain.”
I sigh and tell him about my key, leaving out the incredibly hot next door neighbor that I just learned about. If what his ex said is true, Jase wouldn’t take well to me living next door to someone that’s an eleven on a scale of ten. Especially when I’d put Jase at an eight.
“Just come home with me tonight. We can get this all fixed in the morning.” We. He always says ‘we’ when referring to something that I have to do. It irked me tonight, though. I don’t want to be around him, not until we’ve time to talk about what was said to me that night. I don’t want him to have feelings for me, he’s one of my only close friends that know what happened that night. I can’t lose him.
“Nah, I have a neighbor with a key. Just had a shitty night at work, low tips, and then this. Just needed a breather, but I should get back in there so I can get my key out of my lock.”
Lies. They were all lies. I just have a weird feeling around Jase tonight. There’s no reason that he should have been walking the streets of my neighborhood this late at night. Even if he were really coming to check on me, he would have drove right?
A few more times he tried talking me into coming home with him, but I really needed to stay here. He finally gave in and left, only after making me promise that I would call if I needed him. Sure, sure I’ll call you Jase. Just go away now, please .
After he left I was left standing in the rain, getting more and more soaked as time went on. I should probably go upstairs and face my demons, right?
Here we go.
Chapter 6
Eddie
What was that all about? I’m still a little drunk from that whiskey, but I’m pretty damn sure my dream girl just knocked on my door and ran away. Dream girl? I must be drunk still, I don’t let myself think like that. I can’t.
I walk out into the hallway and look around, rubbing my face to try to wake myself up. Maybe this is all a dream, I was dreaming about her right before the banging on the door started. No, that was real. She was real.
I look around, taking everything in. There’s a bag, phone, and keys lying next to the door across the hall. The only other apartment up here and I thought it was empty. Hell, someone lives there? Huh, that’s interesting. I guess when you spend as much time as I do in front of a computer screen you start to miss things. I wonder how long that’s been the case.
More importantly, what the fuck was that all about? Did she just ding and ditch? I still can’t fucking think straight, but to me it seemed like she slammed on the door hard enough to wake me out of my alcohol induced sleep, just to slam those brilliant eyes at me and run.
So god dammed confusing!
Walking back into my apartment I leave the door open in case she comes back. I’m not sure why, but I really need to see her again. Something just doesn’t feel right about all of this, and I won’t be able to sleep until I know what that was all about.
Grabbing a bottle of water I sit on the couch and wait. Unsure what I’m waiting for, I sit there and let my mind wander to places it shouldn’t be wandering. Red. Her eyes stuck in my mind, the glow on her skin when she looked at me in the bar, her voice that didn’t match her physical appearance. What’s her story? Everyone has one, whether they allude to it or not, but I feel the sudden urge to get to know her more and that scares the shit out of me.
There’s no way I would put a girl like her in possible danger just because I can’t get my mind off of her, though. I need to find another release, I need to get to the gym or head over to
