I walk outside of the building and find Walter sitting outside with an empty chair beside him.

" Hey Waltz, mind if I sat there for a while?" I smile at him and point to the chair.

" Ma'am, take a seat please. It's my absolute pleasure to keep you company."

" So, how was your day Waltz?" I say through my teeth as I light a cigarette and the smoke warms me up. I inhale deeply after letting out the smoke, cherishing the smell of the toxic gas.

" Busy as usual. But nothing I can't handle." He winks at me. Which takes me completely aback and I stifle a laugh.

" You know what they say Ms. Malcom. Smoking could kill you." He says warily.

I take a minute before answering. " Worse things can kill a person Walter. Smoking is the least in the list. And please call me Jess."

He just nods his head and doesn't say anything else. Just keeps greeting residents as they come and go, while I watch in silence, nodding my head at those who bother looking at me. I stand up to start my walk just as the door to the building opens, and women laughter fills the air.

Two redheads walk out, behind them are Mason and another man who doesn't look much older than Mason.

The first redhead is wearing a chiffon see-through white top tucked to black leather pants. And ankle high-heeled combat boots.

Isn't she cold? It's freezing.

The second redhead is wearing a short white lace dress that stops at mid thigh with a denim jacket and high leather boots.

Suddenly they start walking towards us.

" Walter." The redhead in the leather pants hugs him.

Okaaay. Surprise.

The other one just nods at him.
" Jessica." I look at the voice and it's Mason smiling.

" Hello. We meet again." I smile politely, as I nod towards the other man and woman.

" Hi Jessica. I'm Leila. Mason's sister-in-law."
She extends her hand and I shake it.

" Nice to meet you Leila."

The woman in the dress lays a perfectly manicured hand on Mason's chest. Okay, is she blind or something? I'm wearing sweatpants and there's a cigarette in my hand I look like a man beside her ladylike look.

" Hi. I'm Taylor. Mason's girlfriend. And you are?"

" I'm nobody." I answer.  Giving her one of my best smiles.

" Are you new in the building Jess? Can I call you Jess?" Leila asks.

" Sure. I just moved in here yesterday with my girlfriend. We're originally from America."

I throw my cigarette to the ground and put it out with my shoe.
Imagine this being Taylor's stupid beautiful face.
Ok.
I don't know what I'm so annoyed with, but her attitude is just disturbing.

" Well it was a pleasure talking to you guys but I have to go." I smile politely and nod towards them before leaving.

I'm a few feet away when someone grabs my hand,
I turn around and find amazing hair. Then amazing eyes. His eyes are actually very beautiful. They're a mix of light blue and green.
How did I not notice the first time.
You were too busy with his magnificent hair. DUH.
