My Neighbour

Dinner

A week had passed since that incident had taken place. I had been busy with my school activities and the tests.

But today I was a bit free. As I sat to watch TV the doorbell rang.

I wonder who it'll be.

I went and opened the door to find Ace standing in front of me. He was well dressed and he smiled when he saw me but I didn't return his smile.

Of course I'm angry with him.

How can someone be so rude to a person.

"Hiii" he said coolly.

"Bye" I said and I turned to  close the door.

But he placed his hand on the door stopping me from closing the door.  I pushed the door harder but it didn't make much of a difference.

"Trying to compete with my strength?" He asked his hand still preventing the door from closing.

"Are you spilt personality? Or do you have short term memory loss? Few days back you saved me and just when I was thinking you are a good guy you proved I was wrong and how much of a jerk you are and now you are back  and behaving as though nothing has happened." I said all in one breath.

"Woah calm down. To answer your questions no I'm not split personality and nor do I have short term memory loss. I just realized that I was rude to you and so I came to apologize. I ah...Im s-sorry...." He said entering my house.

I stood there with my mouth open.

Ace Warner the biggest playboy who has never felt guilty of what he has done till now just told me sorry?

Am I dreaming?

"Are you gonna stand there with your mouth open for the rest of your life or are you gonna come in? " he asked.

How does he manage to know exactly what I'm doing without even looking at me.

"Are you alright do you need the doctor?  No this can't be real. I guess you have come to the wrong house....And...." I was cut in between with the sound of his laughter.

That was the first time I heard him laugh.

"I'm perfectly alright and stop acting so silly. I seriously came to apologize to you for what I did" he said trying to control his laughter looking at my face.

"But why? I mean it doesn't make much of a difference if you apologized or no so why bother about it" I asked him.

"Good question. Yup, it surely didn't make a difference whether you are angry with me or no but I just thought that you are not that bad after all so being friends with you would be fun." He said.

With that I raised an eyebrow.

Friends?

Did he just mean being friends with me?

Till now if ever we have done something to each other it is fight and revenge which friends definitely don't do.

" and I knew if I wanted to be friends with you I had to apologize for my behaviour so here I'm standing apologizing for what I did"he said and made an innocent expression.

I quickly turned away because I knew very well if I stared at him a minute longer I would have fallen for that face.

Huh why does god give the looks and hotness to such people.

"Can we be friends from now on? " he asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"huh?" I asked.

"Are you deaf?" he asked in an bored tone.

"Wait will our friendship even last for a day because we are the complete opposite of each other. Your views are totally different from mine if ever we have done something to each other it's only fight and now we being friends? Which means to forget about everything? And no fighting?" I asked not trying to sound rude.

But I wanted to make sure it was genuine and not some nasty game of his.

"At least we can give it a try. Unlike poles attract the most you see and it'll be fun getting to know each other." He said.

"Oh yeah okay  I guess we can be  friends" I said.

" you can count on me and now since we are friends I thought of going out for dinner to get to know each other. Hope you don't mind" he said.

"Nah I don't mind. Here watch what you want while I get ready and come " I said handing over the TV remote and heading upstairs to change.

Wow this sounds cool.

First he is tells sorry and now he wants to be friends.

Okay calm down Anna he only wants to be friends nothing else stop overreacting.

But I'm scared if he's pretending.

Like a guy who hated me till now is being my friend all of a sudden, why?

Okay I guess I should just be careful and not get carried away by him. Be watchful and if I find or get even the slightest doubt that he's been playing up then I won't hesitate in ending our friendship.
