Jason pulled over by the pavement leading to a block of flats piled against each other as if they were dominoes. The area could be considered nor suburbs nor city center, somewhere in the middle. The sky was dyed into a deep indigo with faints of peach red clouds reflecting the last sun rays of the day.

The last car ride won the price of the most awkward one. It was surprising by the fact Jason didn't yell at me or curse any type of profanities yet he didn't speak a single word. Not even after Jazmyn several questions regarding about what happened inside.

Jason pressed one of the bell buttons of the flat standing in front of us. After several seconds waiting a voice started to speak from the other line.

-"Who is it?"-

-"Bro, It's me Jason"- Jason replied in a sigh.

After another short second, a click sound followed by a soft bell indicated the door was unlocked and so we made our way inside the building following Jason.

The inside was based of a long corridor with several doors at each side of it. There was also a shiny metallic elevator next to a door leading to stairs to go up to the floor above.

We took the lift and Jason pressed the fifth floor. The doors closed gently before the elevator traveled up to the destined floor.

Jason knocked firmly on a door with a metallic plate with the number fifty engraved on it.

A few sounds could be perceived from the other side of the door meaning someone was unlocking it. The door moved slightly to reveal the figure of a black man in his early 20s.
He had deep almond eyes and full chocolate lips below a tiny moustache. His dark hair was quite short yet he had a noticeable nice fade with lines in zigzag as a modern design.

-"Yo, Jason long time bro"- The guy spoke with a smile on his face as he shook hands with Jason.

-"What's up bro"- Jason replied corresponding his smile.

The guy's eyes traveled over to meet Jazmyn's position. -"Little Jaz, what's up"- He laughed as he high-fived Jazmyn.

-"Hi Michael"- Jazmyn happily sang.

I watched the guy greet all both of them before his attention landed on me. -"Who's this lady"- He spoke with an intrigued tone as his eyes traveled up and down my silhouette.

-"Michael where are the guys?"- Jason interrupted him regaining his attention.

Michael gestured with his head to indicate us to come inside. We followed his instructions as my eyes analysed the flat. It looked modern yet not too showy, I liked the sophisticated yet contemporary decorations and furniture.

We entered a room where two guys were concentrated playing blackjack. One was Asian, his hair was nicely fixed in a man bun, he had the complete look of a hipster yet it suited his features giving him a nice "flow".
The other guy had pale skin and short blonde hair, his eyes had a feline shape and were dyed in a deep blue sea which was completely captivating. He reminded me of the typical prince charming that young girls dream of.

I prevented myself from checking out too much by dropping my gaze to the hand of cards each of them had.

-"Jason, how are you, man"- The asian guy smiled as he stood up and shook his hand with Jason.

-"Alive, Kei"- Jason replied in a tone mixed of joy of seeing his friend but exhaustion from all the recent events.

Kei nodded in sympathy. The blonde guy mimicked Kei's movements and stood up followed by a hand shake with Jason.

-"Sup Jay"- He greeted him.

-"Sup Lucas"- Jason greeted back with the same tone.

All eyes fell on me filled with curiosity. I felt awkward under so much visual pressure which made me play with my fingers nervously.
