The Beauty of Love

Chapter 15

All of us watched the horror movie. Good thing, it helped me sober up since I decided not to drink more. Maia suggested I stay so I wouldn't need to drive home anymore, but I refused.

I need to go back to my condo because of work. I have to go to the café tomorrow and monitor our sales for the month. It's for me to know what to do and what areas to improve.

After watching the movie, the girls and I decided to head home. Even Enzo. I was just really thankful that the movie was good enough to take my dizziness away.

Enzo drives home with me. His car was behind mine while I was driving, like a convoy. True enough, he was a careful driver. Following the rules and driving safely like what he said.

Honestly, I thought that was kind of hot.

When we arrived at the building at the same time, we rode the elevator together since we live on the same floor.

Inside, we talked a little. Just casual things. We even laughed at random topics, and I found myself feeling comfortable having a conversation with him.

I guess we're already friends. Are we? I'm not sure. I guess it's up to him.

The night ended with us saying good night to each other. It was a peaceful night for me. I dozed off immediately after taking a shower because of the tiredness from the day.

I can only tell that Maia's birthday was fun, and I enjoyed it so much.

The next morning, I woke up later than usual but it's still early. I'll go to the café at 10 AM pa, so while I was having breakfast, I planned to go the gym muna and have a morning exercise.

I wore my workout fit. A leggings paired with my sports bra. Then, I went down to the ground floor and head straight to the gym. I'm carrying my water with me because I'm so prepared for this.

There are only two people when I entered. It's a girl and a boy, each minding their own businesses, so I did the same. They are both doing different things while I start running on the treadmill.

A popular song is playing inside, and it adds a chill vibe, which is nice. I focused on what I'm doing while relaxing my mind.

I ran on the treadmill for minutes, so I'm sweaty when I stopped. It was a good exercise, though. My body feels more energized and ready for the day.

Taking my flask and drinking water from it as I sit down for a moment to rest, another person comes in. I'm facing the mirror while drinking, so I scanned the face of the person who enters only for me to almost choke up.

I coughed three times and had to curse myself because, damn, why am I so weird? Eh, si Enzo lang naman 'yan!

There's nothing to be weird about. We're good and cool with each other. Really, I only got shocked that he's also here. But then, why am I so shocked, knowing that he also lives here?

I'm so weird. I should reprimand myself for this.

Maybe I really need to get used to this now. To seeing Enzo all the time. Or even bumping into each other and to have a little talk since we're neighbors. I can't stop that from happening.

So, I stood up and didn't let his presence bother me. I realized I shouldn't make it a big deal. I even thought last night that we're friends. In my mind, we are. But I'm still not sure. I guess so?

He looks happy when he saw me. He doesn't even flinch, unlike me. His lips formed a smile while I secretly complimented him in my head.

He smells so nice as I get closer to him. He's wearing a compression shirt and shorts, so I can clearly see his biceps now. What the fucking hell. This is a really good morning for me.
