This handsome man in the image above is Zack. Do you like him?

We walk around the site to observe the place, the things we'll be working with and the people who will be helping us with the project. The site was in the middle of the woods, because obviously we were working to protect and save the environment and the only best way to promote the motive was being with nature so that we can really put our hearts into it. Oli finally takes us to have a look at the houses that PaperWorks had for us. We walk for half a mile when finally two houses come into view. Both looking like a reflection of each other. Exactly the same.

But I have to say, they are amazing! At least the view is. The cream coloured houses stand in the lush green around it, highlighting the houses even more. I walk towards the house and stand on the porch to have a closer look. The stairs creak as I step on them and I hear Nathan's footsteps behind me.

"Good enough or do you want to move somewhere else?" Oli asks and I instantly turn towards him. He flashes his white teeth which stand out against his olive skin. I look sideways at Nathan who is looking at me already with an intense stare, his hands in his pockets, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and his figure leaning against the little fence.

RIP, my dear heart for I know you've successfully escaped my chest now with those jumps.

"I don't think there's anywhere to move in these woods, keeping in mind the ridiculous 5 mile limit, so this will do, thank you." Nathan says through gritted teeth and nods at Oli. I have no idea why his New York accent is attracting me so much. I've spent 17 years of my life there! I have no idea how my accent changed as well. Is that normal? Oli smiles back nervously and runs out of the place before saying a polite 'call me if you need anything'.

I chuckle and look at Nathan. He looks at me with the same annoyed look plastered on his face and walks inside his house. What did I do, man?!

I walk inside mine and the I'm quite surprised at how well furnished the house actually is. There is a plush sofa sitting in the center of the living room with a plasma TV on the wall that the sofa faces. Two doors mark entry to the inside of the house and I walk to the first one to see the kitchen. It has a platform with a stool by it. That's such a tiny kitchen! I'm surely getting take-out for the time I am here. I then walk outside the kitchen, back into the living room, and then into the second door. This is the tiniest bedroom I've ever walked in. Like the rest of the house, the floor is wooden and creaks at some places, but the bed seems comfortable. A blanket is folded properly at the edge of the bed. Another door comes into view as I bend to check the quality of the blanket. I'm guessing this leads to the bathroom. My boot-heels click as I walk towards the bathroom and when I open the door, I find out my guess is right. There's a huge mirror, the only mirror in the house, covering one of the four walls with a basin right under it and a cabinet under the basin which is stocked properly with toiletries. The shower is inside the glass cubicle and there is no bath! How great!

Highly unimpressed with the bathroom, I walk out into the bedroom, out into the living room and then finally outside the house. Nathan isn't anywhere in sight so I guess he is having a house tour as well. I sit on the little basket-chair placed outside the house and pick out my phone from my clutch.

Two missed calls from Zack? What does he need right now?

Without another thought I call him back. He picks up on the second ring.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Scenarios which could be troublesome start playing in my mind.

"Um nothing. I just wanted to ask for a favour." He sounds relaxed and I breathe out in relief. Thank God!
