Standing up to go get some coffee ??? found it hard to walk on his legs,ever since that accident his legs didnt work the same way they did before,limping his way to the kitchen he gets a clean mug out of the shelf,going to make his favourite coffe he finds out there is no coffee left to drink,he was a heavy coffee drinker 2 cups a day wasn't enough for him
"haaaa"
sighing for the second time this day already ,??? got dressed to go get some coffee from the supermarket down the street,putting on a black hoodie and black pants,he gets his wallet and opens it to check how much cash his got on him,inside he finds about 600 dollars cash, a credit car and a picture of a boy with green eyes and black hair beside the boy a man with brown hair,standing by the other side of the boy was a woman with the same black hair as the boy,unfortunately ??? couldn't recognise the man and the womans feature,everytime he looked at there faces,it felt as if fog was covering it.
"haaa"
sighing for the 3rd time already he puts on his shoes and gets out of his apartment,walking to the building elevotar he presses the button to go down,when the elevator arrives and opens ??? walks in,just before the elevator's door closes a hand stops it and opens it back,a old man with white hair taking over all of his head walks in,??? Couldn't see his face,the same fog was covering it but ??? ignored it wasn't something new
"sorry young man man i was in a bit of a hurry i hope you dont mind me entering"
"of course come in"
even tho he already entered,??? started cursing his stupidity,the elevator started going down,thats when the old man opend his mouth
"oh,right where is my manners,young man my name is riley,iam new here in the building,so thats why you haven't seen me before,iam your new neighbour"
the man said with a smile on his face,??? was not the type of person to talk to people often,he like to stay on his own in his apartment,so he rarely makes interactions with other people,but he didn't wanna make it awkward so he responded to the old man
"nice to meet you too...mr.riley my name is...
"adam,yes the building owner told me about you,tall young man with green eyes and black hair,hahaha.
adam was a little weirded out why would the landlord talk about him,but he chose to ignore,it wasn't that big of a deal right?
"say young man,i heard that you are a writer,is that true?"
adam didn't feel comfortable talking to this man but he chose to answer anyway
"yes"
"hmmm i see,i see,you know i believe writing is one of the best way expressing your self,tell me young man what do you usually write?"
"novels"
adam's answers were short and quick his voice was low and...bored?it was as if he didnt wanna talk,but fear not as it didn't have any effect on big ol' riley here he kept asking questions,even adam was confused how the elevator still didnt arrive at the first floor,when the elevator door opened both men got out,riley extended his hand to adam for a handshake,adam kept staring at his hands without extending his.
"oh iam sorry youngman if i offended you in some way,i was just going for a handshake"
Riley said with a genuine concerned voice
"its okay,i just dont do well with...handshakes"
said adam with a awkward smile on his face,what he said wasnt a lie but it also wasn't the truth,it wasnt that adam didnt do well with handshake,it was that he had Haphephobia,he would get super distressed if someone touched him
"its okay young man i understand,just before i go,would you mind one more question?"
adam was annoyed at this point but riley sounded nice and genuine in his question so he said
"sure"
"between all the novels you've wrote which one is your favourite?"
adam was surprised,not only because of the question but because of how did riley know he wrote more than one novel,adam couldnt ignore that and asked
"how did you know?"
"know what?"
riley replied,adam asked again this time his voice change a little bit it was a little suspicious
"how did you know i wrote more than one novel?"
"oh it was just a assumption,hahaha"
riley replied with a awkward laugh he sounded like a guy who got caught doing something,adam stared at him for a couple seconds,riley opened his moth again
"its okay young man you dont have to answ...."
"my first novel"
"of course i understand if you....what?"
"my first novel"
riley opened his eyes wide,and then started laughing.
"hahahaha,of course of course it is,thank you for answering me young man,oh look at the time gotta go,have a good day young adam,i hope we meet again"
riley said while walking away,and waving his hand,it wasnt until he went away that adam saw a coin where on the ground where riley was standing
'it probably fell from him' thought adam he took the coin and followed riley out of the building it was dark outside the moon shining was the only light guiding people through the night, adam looked around but couldn't find riley.
"haaa,guess ill give it to him next time i see him"
sighing for the fourth time this day adam started walking to the supermarket to go get his coffee
