I yawned and stretched my limbs. Today's been a long day I mumbled throttling to the bus station.
"Gosh I'm so exhausted" I should get a car I muttered dragging myself down the bus. My house is still a few blocks away I murmured annoyed
I got home in ten minutes, I was just about to open the door when I saw a young girl loading in stuff into the house beside mine
"Oh I have a new neighbor", may we never meet I prayed entering the house sluggishly
I'll just eat dinner and go to bed.
Gosh I have to cook!! My fridge is almost empty
I'll eat anything I have I'm too tired to go to the convenience store now.
I ate the last noodles with chicken and went straight to bed
The next morning...
Ah shut the fuck up!! I screamed at the alarm blaring into my ear
I can't believe today's Tuesday I sluggishly went to shower and almost fell asleep again as the warm water hit my skin wow this feels so good I can't remember how long it is since I've enjoyed bathing
I can't wait for the weekend to come I muttered rummaging through the wardrobe. Oh I found it!! I've been searching for this skirt for weeks. The shortness is just to my liking I said slipping it on paired with an ocean blue shirt and a black bag
How should I style my hair I sighed looking at my reflection on the mirror. I'll just let it down I mumbled straightening it wow Jennie you good I said twirling Infront of the mirror
Great! I don't have anything to eat for breakfast. Oh there's two apples left. I quicky devoured it and rushed to work
I arrived early and was surprised to meet my boss, did he sleep in the office?
Good morning Mr Slade. Morning Jennie he said smiling and looking at me weirdly
He's been acting strange this past few days
"The new client is coming today be prepared he informed"
Oh the owner of Blossom tech? Okay sir I said resuming my work.
It's lunch time I muttered happily closing the file Infront of me. I was about to head to the cafeteria when I heard a knock on the door Come in!! I said with a dissatisfied tone
A young man came in and I lost my professionalism.
Wow!! being handsome is an understatement he was my type.
Hey are you okay? he said looking at me with concern. I snapped out of my delulu and welcomed him professionally
Good day sir my name's Jennie I said extending my hand for a handshake, he took it and shook it gently.
"My name's Alexander Smith the CEO of Blossom tech", you're welcome to our company sir
This way please I said leading him to Mr Slade office
They started discussing business and I excused myself to go have lunch before I fainted
I came back few minutes later and they were still not done
Gosh where did this files come from? They're so much how didn't I notice it before
And I have to sign all of these?!!
I signed the papers for hours taking a few short break. Wow they're still not done? What exactly are they discussing
Just then Mr Smith came out and I stood up trying to be professional
"It was nice meeting you Jennie" he said shaking my hand again. Same here sir I said with a small smile
Xander's pov....
This girl is so pretty she looked like a model, I averted my gaze from hers trying not to stare alright bye.
Bye sir she said formally
On my way home all I could think about was Jennie, I have to meet her again somehow. But luck wasn't on my side, Cause my secretary will be going to their company from now on.
Jennie's POV..
It's almost closing time I said flopping on the chair. I had to see that handsome man again
I hope he's single too I thought with a smile
Gosh I'm so hungry I said yawning and took a nap.
I woke up to someone sliding my hair from my face, and was surprised to see it was my boss.
uhm Mr Slade what.... what are you doing? I stammered
I'm sorry I didn't want to disturb you, it's closing time already
Oh it is? I said picking up my bag goodbye sir I said running out of the office
"Wait let me give you a ride" He offered
No thanks I'll take the bus I said getting into the elevator
I arrived at the bus station just when the bus was about to leave
Wow today drained me I mumbled rummaging through my bag looking for my key
"Ah I found you" I said dangling it in the air, I rushed in and changed my clothes
I'm so hungry I said heading to the fridge and cussed when I found it empty.
I put on my headband and went to the grocery store which was just a few blocks away.
I was busy admiring a cute plushy when my cart hit something hard. I looked up to apologize and saw someone I wasn't expecting to see
Omg!! what's he doing here? I gasped
Xander's POV...
I was about to cuss at the person that hit me with a freaking cart when I saw it was Jennie
I'm very sorry she said looking surprised,
it's fine I said and dusting myself
Do you live in this neighborhood? she said surprised
"Yeah I live in the second street next to this neighborhood" and she gasped
I live there too she said with a small smile
Just my luck I thought happily
We went to pay for our groceries and left together.
We exchanged contact and I offered to give her a rid
My house is right there she said pointing to the apartment next to mine
You live here?! That's my house next to yours I said with a smile
Now it's her turn to be surprised I saw a girl a few days ago is she your..?
"No she's my little sis and I just moved here last week" I said dispelling any weird thought from her mind
Oh okay thanks for the ride byee! She said hopping out with her shopping bags and went inside
She didn't even invite me in I muttered disappointed and went home
Jennie's POV
So I was lucky enough to have that handsome guy as my neighbor?!!
I must tell Zoe I mumbled grinning
Thank God today's Friday I'll rest for two days!
I restocked the fridge and went to cook
After eating a mountain of food I opened a bottle of whiskey to celebrate my achievement
Having a handsome man as my neighbor is an achievement too I muttered happily
Before I knew it I already drank the whole bottle and went to the fridge to get another one
I was a little bit tipsy and went outside to the porch to have some fresh air and watch the stars I sat on the swing and was swinging back and forth like a little kid when I heard a voice behind me
It's cold what are you doing outside
Xander's POV...
I was went out to have a smoke when I saw Jennie sitting on the swing.
I went closer and was surprised to see her drinking
It's cold what are you doing outside and why are you drinking?
"I came out to watch the stars" she said sluggishly, she was really drunk
I took the bottle from her, you shouldn't drink this much you'll have a headache in the morning
"Alcohol is the only thing that can make me forget everything" she said sighing
And what exactly are you trying to forget? I said confused and sat beside her
Everything! The stress I'm going through everyday and my parents
Huh? Your parents? "Yeah I lost them to a car crash five years ago" she said and sighed again collecting her bottle and chugged down all the content in it
"My condolences" thank you she whispered
Just then the sky rumbled. It's looks like it's about to rain.
Yeah goodnight and thanks for tonight she said with a faint smile
You go first I said. Okay bye she said heading in.
She looks cute when she's drunk
