Kendall POV

After Cristiano's departure i sit in the booth for  ten more minutes . Thinking , thinking about how my life has changed in the last few months , how did i turn from the cheery happy laughing all the time girl to this broken cocoon i am now .

I get up and head to the cashier to pay for my coffee , but the girl behind the counter informs me that it has already been payed for .

Who would have payed for it ?

of course it would be him

i smile at the gesture and ... oh i have to call zac .

i search in my phone for 'zac' but i find none .
i thought he said he added his number?  i keep scrolling in my contact list and laugh when i spot "Your hot new neighbour friend zac " i dial his number and wait for him to answer .

"Efron speaking "

"My hot new neighbour friend zac ? seriously that's the name you came up with " i laugh

" well it was worth it " he speaks

" how is that ? "

"you laughed " he says softly

what ?

" You don't have to tell me , i can tell kendoll" he adds to lighten his serious words

" i ..nn "

" You don't have to say anything , no pressure "

"No I-I mean" i stutter , his words took me off guard

" It's okay , i can wait we can talk about this later , but i won't wait in the car any longer  " he says

"wait you're outside ? "

"yea now get that nice butt of yours here " he chuckles then hung up .

Nice butt of yours ? if anyone else would have called me that i would have snapped at him , but with zac i know he is only jocking .

i try to collect my thoughts before meeting him outside . No one has ever noticed . Not even my mother . She used to be thrilled if she saw one of my fake smiles or laughs , she never noticed , well that's because she isn't the mom i used to have .

Before i can drown more in my thoughts i head outside and get in the black car waiting for me at the entry

"How was the meeting " zac speaks and i am glad he didn't bring the conversation we had seconds ago throught the phone .

" it was good , really good " i answer truthfully

" i'm glad you had fun " . he smiles

" yea me too ," i whisper

the remaining of the car ride was spent in utter silent , a comfortable one that no one of us minded

"Here we are " zac says pulling over the side walk in front of my .. our building

"thank you zac you saved me a bunch of trouble " i smile at him unbuckling my seatbelt

" i did nothing really  , plus i only helped a friend which is no burden , so stop thanking me " he smiled

we both make our way out the car and head to the elevator .

"what floor ? " i ask zac after pressing the button of mine .

he pushes his hand in his pockets and lay on the wall " same as you " he smirks

"i didn't know we were living in the same floor "
