  " Cleo! Cleo!! " Edward called, snapping me out of my deep thought

    " ha!!" in shock " Yes? "

    "Are you alright?. you have been zoned out all through the night. " both the look on his face and his tone sounded worried and I felt guilty for making him worry

    " oh....ammm...sorry " feeling awkward " I am so sorry " I apologized honestly. I haven't been able to focus throughout the night. I couldn't stop thinking about the strange doctor. he was something, something like Vicnan and I felt a connection between us. do I have like an ability to identify non-humans now, because that will be the only logical explanation

    " don't apologize. Are you ok?" he frowned

    "Sorry.... I mean, I am fine. I am just so exhausted from work. "

    " I see" nodding in understanding "Don't overwork yourself, if the work is too stressful you should just quit, I can help you with a new job " his words took me by surprise, is this guy insane? I just got the job.

    "mmmm... no. no need for that, it is nothing that I can not handle " giving him a bright smile " What were you saying earlier?" curiously

    " I told you that we've arrived at your house "

    " Oh my God " looking out to see my apartment building. I didn't even notice he had stopped driving "Holy shit, I am so sorry, " reaching for my bag in a hurry

    " no problem, you should get a good rest "

    " Thanks for the ride "

    " we should hang out again. I don't know when you will have time, now that you've started a new job " Disappointment flashed in his eyes

    " call me anytime and I will tell you when I am free " With a smile I got out of the car and waved him off

In the elevator, I remained lost in deep thought. I couldn't get him out of my head and he keeps reminding me of Vicnan. or are they siblings? " Miss are you alright?" suddenly interrupted by a person with a deep voice who I didn't realize stood beside me

    " oh " turn and lift my head to see that familiar huge and scary-looking young man. my next-door neighbour who just recently moved in. his personality doesn't match his face and body at all. he is a lot nicer than he looks and I speak based on the few days I have known him. whenever I run into him, he asks about my health and if my day is going well. " yes I am fine thank you... Good evening" greeted immediately after my response

    " Good evening, how was your day? "

    " great " with a smile " How was yours? "

    " it went well thank goodness "

    " how about your brothers?" remembering that he lived with three other guys that were as built and scary looking as he is. I just assumed that they were brothers and he never complained when I asked

    " fine " Just then, the elevator door opened and we both stepped out " I will see you around " I nodded in agreement

    " bye " With that we went our separate ways

Throwing myself on the bed, with my eyes close. back in that deep thought. I wondered if I should confront Vicnan about this strange man. I have to, I know very well I won't sleep if I don't clarify this matter. " Vicnan " still in my laying position I called his name weakly and I knew he heard me but there was no response " Vicnan I know you can hear me, please just...." the movement on the bed cut my sentence short. I turn my head to the side to see him sitting at the edge of the bed. for the first time, I see him in a white turtleneck which displays his perfect muscles and black trouser. Damn, he looks hot in everything. he was holding something but I didn't get a good look at it because it vanished immediately
