The Double Life (Miniminter FF)

Chapter 4

One of my favorite Simon pics tbh

Simon's Pov (New Pov!)

I arrive at the apartment complex that Josh texted me the address for and I can say this place is nice, it seems cozier than the tower that the other guys live at and by walking in the building I was greeted by the host person and he said that the lift was out of order so I needed to take the stairs. Fuck, Exercise. I start the climb up Everest when I become grateful that the person lived on the second floor. 

I look around for the right door when I realize this place seemed very familiar to me. I might have been here a few times a long time ago but I don't seem to remember what for. I reach the door and ring the doorbell, standing awkwardly by the door waiting for someone to answer. After about two minutes a girl comes out to greet me. She had a short, black haired, pixie cut, and brown eyes, she wore a black t-shirt with a green and blue flannel around her waist and jeans. She seems to be examining me the same way I just examined her. I hope she doesn't assume that I'm some weirdo and close the door on me. I just need to get Josh before the meeting starts in...... twenty minutes and the meeting is across London. We are late already. 

I broke the solid minute of silence, saying, "Um Hi. I'm looking for my friend Josh?" it came out more awkwardly than I wanted it to 

It looked like she snapped out of a trance saying, "Right. He is in the bathroom right now, come in." She stuck out her hand for a handshake that I took welcomely 

After declining a drink and saying names I looked around the living room. She is such a nerd despite her badass vibe. she has a bookshelf full of plushies, DVDs, board games, video games, and other stuff. I hope I come back to hang out sometime I would love to watch the movies and play the games with her...... Where did that come from? After a bit of snooping, I see an old worn football. She plays too??? From looking around her flat I wonder what she doesn't do. I go and grab the ball and asks if she plays. 

"A little when I was younger. I never liked any of the girl things my sister did, I tend to hang around my brothers who played with their friends. It has been a long time." I put the ball down when I realize it's probably the ball she used when she was younger. That would also explain her appearance, her haircut and how she dresses. 

We sat down on the couch and talked for awhile (it was about five minutes) until Josh came from the bathroom. Josh came out of the bathroom and I swore he had a grin on his mouth for a second. I'll ask him about that later. "The hell happened to you Josh, Also what did you do take a shit?" I say jokingly to my best friend and housemate.  I stand up and follow Josh who is halfway to the door. I hope I get to see Jesse again for something I don't know what but she seems too cool for it to be a one-time 'I'm just here to get my friend and never see or talk to you again.' thing. 

After dealing with Josh's sass and him reminding Jesse that he will pay her back sometime for everything she has done and me telling her that I won't let him forget, we were out the door. We just left the complex Josh turned to me and said, "So, you think Jesse will mind us coming over there more often?" 

"I'm not sure, I don't really know how we didn't find her before Josh. She is such a nerd! Just like us!" I responded while emphasizing the nerd bit. 

 "Simon it seems like you fancy Jesse already and you've met her once for 15 minutes, but she is something different. She did save my wallet and life from that guy in the alley. But it felt like he was looking for someone in particular," Josh said wearily as we got to the car. 

"I don't 'Fancy' Jesse I don't know her well enough yet, and what do you mean looking for someone in particular? An old drunk/druggie looking for someone in this nice neighborhood? It doesn't seem right." I got into the driver's side and buckled up, started driving to the meeting. We are one-hundred percent late for anyway, but hey, YouTubers are late for everything anyway right? 

"The guy was talking something along the lines of  'I can't wait till Sunday I need the stuff Now. The Den is only a few blocks away.' I don't know its weird and how she fought off the guy, she has mad skills," Josh went on saying while typing something on his phone, most likely texting the others that we are on our way. 

"Well, it's good that she got you out of the situation in the first place. Does it really matter what the guy was saying? He was probably too high or drunk or both to really care about what was going on around him, or maybe he was in drugs withdraw and had no cash to buy more so he tried to steal some from you," I tried to tell Josh the good things that happened in the night to ease his nerves. I can't imagine what he is going through, almost dying, being robbed, having a girl save him. (I'm joking about that last part). 

"That's true Simon, also can we stop by somewhere to get food? I'm starving right now," Josh said while clutching his stomach acting like he will die if he doesn't eat any food. 

"Josh we are already late for this meeting, we can't do an event if we aren't at the meetings to plan them. Can we get food after the meeting okay? we can go to Nandos or something. I'll pay for yours too." I tried to bargain with Josh since I didn't want to hold this meeting back anymore since we have rescheduled it once before and we are..... twenty minutes late currently. 

"Fine," Josh said grumpily while turning to face the window and not look at me. The rest of the car ride was quiet, not an awkward quiet but a peaceful quiet, I have a feeling this meeting is going to be hell for us, Vikk earlier told us that the manager is probably going to beat us up for making them be late for other meetings and might beat us up. 

We get to the building and take the lift up to the meeting room where everyone was sat waiting for us. "Sorry we were late we got caught up in some personal stuff. Simon had to come and get me since I didn't have my car too," Josh said while rubbing the back of his head while trying to not be awkward. After that, the meeting started and honestly I could not focus one bit. I would act like I'm paying attention but my mind is somewhere else. I can't stop thinking about Jesse and how she could have gotten Josh out of that alley. It must have taken some energy and effort, she could have just left Josh there and call 999 for help but she dragged him down the block to her home and patched him up. She is different than most girls I've met, and I don't know if it's for the good or bad.
