I am. I am. I am. -- Chapter One: Move

Chapter 3: Neighbors

"Shit!" He yelled. "Im so so sorry!" I could already feel my eyes watering. "Ill pay for it," I sniffed, "what were you drinking?" He laughed at me. "Love, Im not worried about my drink! You are dripping with scalding hot coffee!" He helped me off the floor. "Its alright, I dont live far I will just walk home and" He cut me off "You are not walking, I dont care how far it is, it would be public embarassment for you to walk around like that." I laughed a bit. "Ill drive you." He said. We walked out to the street and when we reached his car he put a blanket on the passenger seat.

"Where to?" He asked. "Matrix complex..." I said. "No shit?!" He exclaimed. "What?" I was so confused. "I live there," He smiled, "Well me and the rest of the lads." I didnt really know what to say. I loved One Direction but I wasnt sure if I should inquire about his life to make small talk or not. "So the rest of the band?" I asked smoothly. "Ya, did you just move there I havnt seen you around. Or are you just not into the whole band thing?" His think accent was so cute. "I just moved here from the U.S. My moms job transferred her. And no I am a huge fan." I should have stopped then but when there is an awkward silence I always result to word-vomit. "I mean Im not like crazy or anything...I just am a rather large...I mean not a crazy big fan but.." He cut me off, and I was glad. "Relax, I am a fan of stuff too. I get it. Just as long as you dont start screaming in our conversations we are good." Conversations? So there will be more? I silently sighed with relief.

We were sitting in his car in the parking lot for a while by this point and I didnt even realize it. He unbuckled and I figured that was my cue to go. "Well I better go get a shower." I unbuckled. "Ill see you around?" I couldnt tell if it was a question or not so I just smiled and nodded. I sat down a couple euros and shut the door behind me. I started walking as quickly back to my flat as I could. "HEY!" I heard him shout I turned back and he jogged up to me. "I didnt get your name." "Its Sylvia." I shrugged. He held out his hand, "Take this back." I opened my palm. "Goodnight." I said as I turned to walk away. I went to put my money back in my pocket when I realized there was a slip of paper in my hand as well.
