Chapter 2

Aaliyah's Pov

I'm here now at my friend's condo. She is Lyca. My friend who is always unlucky in love. And now, here I am taking care of my drunk best friend. As I am also her one and only friend, so I am the only one who sympathizes with her.

Actually, we are the same. She is also my only friend. We have been friends for a long time. From high school to college we were in the same class. The same attitude, and the same intelligence. We were both scholars when we were studying. The only difference is, Somehow her family is able to afford to buy a condo for her so even if she doesn't work yet, she will be able to live, while me, I'm just happy that my family can live with the money I earn for being a call center agent.

'Just-sleep here a-ali' Lyca said even though her eyes were closed. After I took her to her room, I wiped her body and dressed her because her clothes were full of vomit.

That's the price of drinking more alcohol earlier.

Gosh, this girl. Are you gonna die without a man in your life?!

Actually we are the same. I also got drunk from the drinking we did but I knew what I was doing. I'm still in my right mind somehow.

'Go to sleep.' I just said to her as I winked at her and let her sleep alone.

I'm going home, because I can't sleep here because my mother will definitely be angry with me again like she was once when I didn't come home early like last time.

What happened to me was terrible. My mom scolded me the whole day.

.....

I was just getting off the elevator because I was going home, but there was a man who had been teasing me with my name and number.

He's really annoying because he looks like he's educated, and he obviously lives here in this condo building, but he doesn't seem to have manners. I just told him my name, but he wasn't satisfied yet, he said he really wanted to get my number and social media accounts as swell. It's annoying!

Damn this man.

I don't know what I'll do because it's sticky, it looks as if it's something I don't know. And my problem until here outside the condominium is that he followed me.

'I'll bring you miss' he held my hand. But I immediately took it back. Who is he to touch me?  Tssss.

'Mr. I think you are now below the belt. That's holding. Can't you understand that I live here in this building, and I'm just going to buy something outside?' I said to him irritated.

'You live here? Are you sure? You're wearing that, it's obvious you're just an employee somewhere' he said raising my eyebrows even more.

I'm irritated to him already.

'Okay' I just said and walked back inside the building. Even the guard obviously doesn't care about us, so I just have to go back upstairs and pass the time.

Tsss I'm pissed off.

I sped up until I reached the elevator and kept pressing the close button. I saw the rush of the idiot who chased the elevator I rode, so I saw him press the elevator next to it.

'Faster please.' I talked to elavator.

I'm nervous. What is that one? What does he want from me?

I quickly ran to Lyca's unit and typed the passcode. Because I know her passcode to her condo. She trusted me like that.

But I scratched my forehead. Shit.

It turned out that she replaced the passcode earlier because of her boyfriend!

Fuck.

When I turned to the elevator, it was about to open.

My chest pounded hard.

What the hell is that!

When I turned to my right, a man had just entered his unit.

No choice.

He was about to lock the door, but I was able to run to him and quickly went inside and I locked the door myself.

I don't even know why I entered here, but when I saw the man's appearance, I trusted him more than the one following me!

He was obviously surprised.

Shhhhhh!' I just told him.

His forehead is furrowed

'Please help me' I said in a low voice because maybe that dumb boy is already around.

He was just looking at me.

'What are you doing m---' I didn't let him finish speaking because I suddenly put my index finger on his lips, a sign that he should not be noisy.

What I'm doing is embarrassing. T___T

'There's a man outside and he's scary, he followed me all the way here, I was about to go home but this is so bad, I'm sorry if I suddenly come in I have no choice because my best friend cannot open the door for me because she's really drunk.' I explained to him so he wouldn't ask any more questions.

He looks kind tho.

'What if it's scarier in here?' I was suddenly blank at what he said.

I looked at him seriously as if I was reading whether what he said was true. I suddenly remembered what we watched in Lyca's movie. The killers have an angel's face.

Shit. What did I get myself into!

He approached me. I was even more nervous. It's like he cornered me for what he did. One of his hands was leaning on the door as he bent down and looked at me.

Smell of alcohol

I can smell the alcohol on him, even his breath, it smells of alcohol but not that strong. It smells like peppermint.

Ah just like that. Smells like wine!

'W--what are you doing' I said to him. Because it's a little bit like we're about to change faces.

I just noticed that he's handsome. such a good man.

A hot----that's all it is!

But seriously.

It's like I felt something else. I know, he is looking at my lips.

I did escape from the stalker earlier, but I ended up with....

A kisser..?

If his face was close before, now he is even more closer. And I know his plan.

But why can't I move my self.

I closed my fist. And I don't know why I closed my eyes!

Omg.

'Miss, sit down first,' I heard him say, so I suddenly opened my eyes.

I saw his teasing smile before he went directly to the living room.

T__T

Omg! I'm so embarrassed!

I didn't expect a kiss no! I was just surprised so I closed my eyes earlier!!

....

I am now sitting here in his living room as I watch the man who is now approaching me with a drink.

'Thank you' I said with a smile while taking the honey that was still a little warm. He found out that I also drank and I smelled of alcohol, so maybe this is what he prepared for me. I also noticed that he's drinking the same while he was sitting in front of me. It's obvious that he has just taken a bath.

I also told him that I have a friend in this condominium, and I was about to go home when I unexpectedly ended up here in his unit blah blah blah.

'Your welcome' he replied with a smile.

He looks even more handsome when he smiles. Add to that his gentlemanliness, and his kindness.

Total package.

:)

'After I finish this, I will leave. Maybe the stalker isn't out there anymore' I said to him with a smile after drinking the honey.

'Alright, I'll take you until you can take a taxi' he told me, that make me stop drinking.

'Don't be shy. Do it thoroughly. Go ahead, maybe he's still around there waiting for you' he added so I just smiled and nodded at him.

He's really smart :)

'Sorry if I bothered you. You're the only one I thought of when I saw you. I'm going home now, thank you very much' I told him and stood up.

'Lets go' He said smiling at me.

...

'I thought until I got a taxi. It's embarrassing for you. It's too much,' I told him. How come we're just in his car now while he's seriously driving.

'No. It's okay. I just want to keep you safe, because it can be seen on the cctv that you entered my unit, and if something bad might happen to you, it's going to be my fault and  I don't want to involved myself' he said without looking at me.

Wow

'Ahhh, hehehe' was all I could say.

The way I thought about him just now, suddenly changed. So that's it. Wth! I expected at him again.

Well, I didn't expect that he might like me or anything, but to think that he's a gentleman, he's smart, he helped me, I thought he was that kind of person. But what?!

He just don't want to get involved?

Shhh. Okay.

I didn't say anything. I just looked in front of the road. I told him where he was going to drop me off and he said he knew it exactly.

He drove fast so he quickly dropped me off in our village because it wasn't far from his condo.

'Thank you again' I said to him while removing my seatbelt. His car had just stopped and I dropped him off around the corner because the road would be narrow if I got off at our house.

I was surprised when he suddenly approached me. It's very close. We're facing each other while he himself unlocking my seatbelt.

But what he did next.

....
