"Nice pyjamas." Assford says looking me up and down. I had heard a knock on the door and opened it to see him looking shocked but now he won't stop ginning.
"Thanks? I think." I say looking down at what I was wearing.
Oh great! It had to be this shirt...
My 'great' outfit consisted of a black loose, slightly see through and two sizes too big shirt that says 'Give me roses and chocolate.... And everything will be okay' and pink shorts with little white stars. Assford was blushing so much he looked like a tomatoes third cousin's brother's wife's step-niece's great uncle twice removed, he was still grinning though.
"What are you doing here exactly?" I ask annoyed.
Stop looking at me like that!!
"I'm here to pick you up."
"What for?!"
"For work..." He says likes it's the most obvious reason.
"But I don't start till next week."
"It's orientation plus we have a lot to discuss."
"Well I don't need to be picked up. I can walk."
"Yeah but I'm here now." He says crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow. I roll my eyes at the sight in front of me.
"I'm not even ready."
"I've noticed that, great shirt by the way." He say pointing at my shirt.
"Do you mind waiting then?" I ask gesturing him inside.
"Not at all." He says walking in, stopping in my lounge room and looking around. "Nice place."
"Thanks, did you want anything to eat or drink?"
"Emily go get ready." He says then starts looking at some photos on the wall next to my hallway, I nod my head and walk to my room. I open my cupboard and start browsing through my clothes.
"You've got some nice photos." He yells. "Who's this guy in the first one?"
"That's my brother." I yell back while deciding to wear a black blouse and jeans with charcoal grey ankle boots.
"He looks a lot like you." I roll my eyes at his comment.
"We're twins." I say like it's the most the obvious thing while walking into the bathroom to finish getting ready.
"Oh that would explain it... Who's the girl next to you?"
"My bestie." I say, brushing my hair.
"She's pretty." I glare at my door as if it was him.
Oh no you don't!!!
Once finished getting ready I walk out to the lounge room and over to where Assford is still looking at my photos, particularly the one of my family.
Weird! Creep!
"This is your family?" He asks quietly.
"Yeah."
Assford goes quiet and continues to stare at the photo of my mum, dad, two older siblings, David and I. I had taken this photo from above mum's fire place before I moved here.
"Are you ready now?" He says sucking in a quick breath while turning to look at me. His eyes looked wet as if he was about to start crying.
"Yeah." I quietly say. We walk out of the apartment and over to Assford's black car. He holds the door open while I get in before slamming it shut and storming over to the other side then getting in himself. We were out of the street when I looked over to him, his eyes were still wet but he blinked and sighed and he seemed to look a bit better.
