First of Jesse V

It was him... Oliver

What is he doing here? Could it be that we are neighbors?

"Oh, Good afternoon Mr. Red Wright" He said but I just standing there awkwardly without even smiling.

"We're neighbors huh?" He asked again and I saw him smiled so I smile too, but a fake one.

"Yes, Sir" I was facing the ground now because of the overwhelming embarrassment.

He smiled at me again and he enters his own apartment.

I didn't expect to be like this. I just want to have a normal life even without that thing called Love, but if he's always around me that stupid emotion will bloom inside me. I don't want to have such kind of feeling, a forbidden feeling. Darn it!

Buzzzz Buzzzz

I snapped out of my thoughts when someone called at my phone. I answered it.

"Hey!!!!!!!!" the caller yelled over the phone. It's Matthew.

"What is it now?" I asked him.

"I hate being actor now!" He yelled again. What a stupid person.

"You chose to be like that, and now you hate it? You're such a brainless person" I said while shaking my head even he cannot see me.

I enter my apartment too and Matthew continues to talk. I sat at my sofa.

"I have this fan that really wants to date me and she said that if I didn't date her she'll spread my deepest secret! Oh no! I don't to remember that thing!!!!" he was like a crying child.

"Don't worry, they'll never hate you for that but they even find you more adorable because of that photo" I cheered him up. But really he's annoying.

"Still I don't like the memories I had with that photo." He said. Well, I agree a little because he was like me, he hates his past and I hate mine too.

"So what are you planning to do?" I asked him. As if he had one.

"Be my girlfriend" he said frankly. I am too shocked to what he said just now.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? I am not even a girl! And I won't go out with you!" I scream over the phone.

"Who says that you will go out with me?" He yelled back

"You've just said it just now!" I yelled again.

"You asked me about my plan! And I just told you my plan, I want you to be my fake girlfriend" He explains, barely yelling.

"Gosh, what kind of plan is that? And do you think she will believe in that kind of plan? I am a guy so..." I asked him.

"Yeah I know but—"I heard someone called Matthew's name so he stopped.

"OKAY! Sorry Jesse, I'll go now" he excuses himself and then ended the phone call.

"Yeah! And don't call again! You're making my head hurt!" I yelled even if he already ended the call.

I stand up on the sofa and I throw my phone on it. I went to my fridge and grab a bottle of water then drink it. That Matthew is still a kid. He doesn't want anyone to know his childhood, even me, his best friend that has been with him since where still in our own mother's womb, didn't know a single thing about it. I wonder why?

I stopped wondering about that guy and of course I will sleep now.

But...

I am now in my bed but I still can't fall asleep. Knowing that my neighbor is the person that I don't want to see is like a curse that cannot be cure anymore. If that lady didn't sell her land then I am not in this kind of situation! Argggggh! I am rolling side to side in my bed because of frustration.

The next day

Shit, I barely have slept last night. The eye bugs are very visible in my face and my head is aching. I leave my bed not even fixing it and I go straight at my CR and brush my teeth.

After brushing my teeth, I wash my face and I was about to go to my kitchen when I hear the doorbell rings means that someone is outside of course. So I go to my door.

I know who is it already, he is the only person who's always bugging me early is the morning.

"You know Matt—"I stopped midsentence when I saw someone standing outside my door that is not Matthew. I was shocked of course! I am not expecting that he would come here.

"S-sir Oliver?" I stuttered

"What's up with the shocked face?" he asked like he was mocking me.

"What do you want sir?" I manage to tell him with straight face. Hell I am so nervous!

"I just want to check you up because I heard you're yelling last night like you're having a fight with someone." He said.

Dug-Dug dug-dug

My Heart.

It was beating faster. Hearing those words, he is telling me that he was worried to me. I- I can't...

"Aren't you going to invite me inside your apartment?" he asked smiling.

"Uh- yeah, c-come inside" I let him enter my apartment.

I guide him to my living room and I went to my kitchen to make a coffee.

"What a clean apartment huh" he complimented.

"Thanks" I said.

I went back at the living room and I gave him the coffee. Of course I have to be polite, he is my boss anyways. I sat across him and sip at my coffee.

"How's your work?" he asked and he sip at his coffee.

I saw a shiny thing in his finger and I realize that he is wearing a ring. Is he married? But his ring, it wasn't in the left ring finger but in his right middle finger. Did he just bought it by himself or did someone give it to him? Wait- why am I curious?

"Hey? I'm asking you, Mr. Red? Are you looking at my ring?" he asked that make me snapped out of my thoughts.

"Sorry Sir, your ring is beautiful, your girlfriend has a good taste" I complemented.

I saw him smiled and he looked at his ring.

"Someone gave me this back in high school, and I don't have a girlfriend." He stated. I was relieved a little but why do I feel that way?

"Anyways as what I am asking earlier. How was your work?" he asked

"I am halfway finished" I answered and sip at my coffee. I feel like the atmosphere is getting more awkward for me.

"Good, finished it tomorrow and then send me the manuscript" he said then he sip at his coffee for the last time.

I stand up and went to his side to take his mug but he stand up too so he almost hit me, good thing I stand back a little.

Dug-Dug Dug-Dug

"Oops, I'm sorry Mr. Red" he apologizes.

"It's okay" I just looked down. I can sense that my face is getting hot.

"Well, that was the only reason I came here and thanks for the coffee" He said then he exits my apartment.

Darn it. Do not come back here again.
