Mikkel saw that girl once again, stood in front of his apartment building. This time he wasn't mistaken, this is not a coincidence. And he wasn't hesitate to approach her directly.
"Hi!"
Mikkel stood in front of this girl. To his surprise she didn't seem to be surprised at all. She looked aloof. Only her eyes whose gesturing her response.
"Hello, I'm Mikkel, I have a unit of apartment here. I've saw you here three times. Is there something I can help you with?"
Those eyes now fixated on his, while showing that she was thinking. Then a slight curve on her lips.
"Hi, I'm Arryan."
His smile broaden when he usher his hand for a handshake, he notice that she didn't hesitate to take his hand. She gave a firm handshake and let it go after, looking at her face Mikkel saw that she was a bit restrained. He repeated his words.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
She sigh before answering
"Yes, I think you can help me," and showing a wider rather timid smile, "I'm looking for a place to stay."
When she saw the question look on Mikkel face, she become a bit flushed.
"I'm sorry... I mean I'm looking for a unit apartment for me, I need a place for me to stay." Her blushed cheeks made her gestures feel awkward. Mikkel smiled wide try to erase her awkwardness. He pointed to the building.
"Do you want to look around the building? I can show you since I'm also living here. Don't worry it won't trouble me at all since I also just got back from work." Mikkel notice her uneasy gesture. "It's alright, I can show you my floor and my unit if you don't mind."
"Ooh, Don't worry. I only need you to show me the building management office. I think I'll be fine from there. We just meet and I really don't wanna bother you." She showed again her aloofness.
"Okay, I'll take you in, you can come with me," with that Mikkel took the lead to got them both in to the apartment lobby. He waved to the security guards and exchanging pleasantry.
Then he quickly hand gestured her to follow him through the corridor and enter the building management office. After brief introduction, one of the staff showed them few unoccupied units.
Arryan made her quick decision by chosing the unit she wanted. She looked on every unit in thorough inspection. She asked questions and even asked for Mikkel thoughts as she regard him as the recent occupant of the apartment. Finally she chosen one small flat with two bedrooms and completed the registration paper right on that time.
To his surprise, she chose the flat right next to Mikkel's on 9th floor. This apartment building was just one of 4 buildings on that building complex area. The smallest one with only 10 floors. Other building looks towering with their heights.
6 Days later...
[Arryan POV]
I opened my eyes after releasing a deep breath. Then I took a few moment of enjoying a relaxed body in a child pose on yoga mat.
The knocks sound on my flat door made me wake from the pose. I don't think that I'm expecting anybody this afternoon. But the knocks went on again. 'Persistent' I thought and finally I made a move toward the door. After peeping through the hole I open my front door.
"Chocolate mousse" Mikkel showed two goblets filled with chocolate and finessed with chocolatey cream in his two hands. He is grinning and his eyes looks mischievous.
"I make it myself for a pretty new neighbor"
I step back and opened the door wider gesturing him to come in. Mikkel smile gets wider showing the dimple on his left cheek. For a tad moment I realized Mikkel is cute. From the first moment I met him I'm aware that Mikkel is tall and handsome but watching his expression up close now I find his cuteness.
Mikkel walks inside with no hesitation.
"I'm not interrupted anything right?" he asked as I closed the door behind him. I saw his eyes looking on my yoga mat near the balcony window, then turn his body to face me. I think right now he is aware of the sweat on my forehead and my tank top.
"Of course not, you come on a perfect time after my exercise", I swiftly walked to the kitchenette taking tea spoons with long handle for desserts. I take the chocolate mousse goblets from his right hand and give him the spoon. Feed myself a first scoop.
"This is really nice," I exclaimed, "bitter sweet chocolate, I like it, thanks" I sit with my folded knees on the sofa, I like this creamy stuffed in my mouth.
"Glad you like it" I see Mikkel made himself at home and sit on other corner of the sofa. He also took a bite. There were silence for a few minutes when we both enjoying the mousse.
"So how's this new place so far? Do you like your apartment?" he asked.
"Yep" short answered are necessary while my mouth licking the spoon.
"What do you think about your new neighbor?" Mikkel smiles teasingly winking her eyes.
I raised my left eye brow, then pointed my finger to him, he nodded repeatedly.
"Hmmm... what can I say. He is descent I guess" I was answering nonchalantly. Then bow my head to hide my grin.
"You...." Mikkel exaggerated a sigh. "Fine, I'll try harder"
