"The tension between us in this small space making me cannot breath. Why does this lift going too slow this time, ahhh......!! I wish someone walk in just to break awkwardness in here " .
"How have you been" his deep voice break silence between us.
"Uhm, so so" I answer while noding my head.
" I haven't been well" he replied
And that's it he take all my attention "get yourself together" my subconscious glared at me to get my head straight.
But I can bring myself to ignore.
"why" I asks. I wanna a slap myself at this point .
He look down at me and I look away , I can't bring myself to look at him or I'm gonna crumbe down again. Especially when he wear that Maroon shirt the one I told him that he looks good in that color. Damn he's hot . I roll my eyes at my subconscious she should just shut up.
"It's my birthday and you didn't even contact me". he whine as if he a small child , I bite my lip to stop myself from smiling.
" There's must be a lot of people who wished you a happy birthday " . I look at him. damn the look in his face its look like he really upset .
" but I want to hear a happy birthday from you "

That afternoon at lunch time everyone went out to get their lunch but I didn't, I sat on my desk in my cubicle and started to get my whole week paperwork I have pile up, after that inside the lift drama I was a little out of it, that's when my phone ping. I smile at my phone screen.
It's Daniel my childhood friend he just move to Jakarta a month ago and he work just down my office he says he'd come one day and he came,
"I'm here " it say on my phone screen.
I grab my purse and went down on my phone try to replying his messeges
When lift door open he there again
"Ahh not again " my subconscious whin and my feet froze.
"Aren't you getting in ?" He ask holding the button for me
I walk slowly inside the lift and the door close
All the way down we didn't say anything. There's only silence.
When the door open Daniel was there,
" Ninna" , he called while wave his hands gosh he's getting more handsome nowdays. And I wanna slap my subconscious so badly for comment like that he is a friend. he wear white shirt and he rolls his sleve I can almost see vein on his arm he look masculine in that way I never seen him at work before. We only hang out during our time back in the day when we're in high school.
he takes my hand , I was a little surprised though but it feel good.
I can feel Adam's eyes on us. But I don't care I take Daniel arm and start walking away. if feels good because you think you make him jealous, you don't care about Daniel feeling when he know about it, you're so pathetic Nina, my subconscious say while she cross her arm and glaring at me.
