A Date For Val

Chapter 2

I turned over the open sign to alert customers that we were closed for the day. I took off my apron and dusted some flour off my jeans while Liv finished tidying in the kitchen

"All done", she announces walking out of the kitchen with her bag. "We can leave now"

"Just a minute, I packed myself a few pastries and doughnuts to eat at home. I was to exhausted to make dinner

After locking up the bakery, i and Liv walked back home. She lives just a street away from me so I had a five minutes walk alone back home

I finally get to the tall building which my apartment is located in, I stare up at the building and realize I live on the 6th floor. Not like am not aware of that but each time I have to climb up this flight of stairs, I wonder if it would have been better if I stayed in the 2nd floor

I took a deep breathe and started my hike up the stairs, I paused on the fourth floor trying to catch my breath. I really need to better with my physical health

"Well if it isn't Ava loner", a voice said from behind me

Without even seeing the face, I already knew who it was.

"It's Ava Jones", I told her through gritted teeth

"We might as well call you Ava loner", she walked up the stairs gracefully with her heels and came to halt just a step ahead of me

I rolled my eyes, Valerie has been my neighbor for the past five years. We have never been on a friendly note, she never misses an opportunity to annoy me

"Well it's Jones", I faked a smug smile

"Don't you think it should be loner, I mean you have been alone your whole life. No boyfriend, nothing", she rolled her hair between her fingers

"You don't know that", I snapped

"Convince yourself", she laughed. "Just don't bore us with your sad songs on Valentine's Day", she flipped her hair

"I would make you swallow your words, I promise", through gritted teeth

"I dare you", she winked at me and bounced up the stairs

I feel like slapping her silly.I squeezed my hand. I wonder how I haven't been locked up for attempted murder, I swear I could have killed that girl. I stomped up the stairs in anger

I placed the paper bag of pastries on the kitchen table, I went to the shower to have a quick bath. I put on my pajamas and in a matter of seconds I was on my couch munching on chocolate cake while listening to a Billie Ellish track

I was still very much upset by Valerie's words. Just because I spend Valentine's Day munching on products from my bakery and listening to sad songs in my pajamas, doesn't mean am a loner. Or does it?

I usually have a busy day at the bakery on Valentine's Day because Liv always takes a day off or works half her time to spend time with her boyfriend. I end up spending the night with some left overs from the bakery while listening to songs

I was beginning to think Valerie is right. I shook my head, I should not let her words make an impact so I closed my eyes and enjoyed my sugar filled dinner
