Jae's brows furrowed once they left the elevator. His lips pursed together as he tried to tune her voice out and focus on a lingering sound he'd been hearing ever since a couple of days prior. He'd deduced that he'd probably been going insane but what had him thinking that he was still sane was that he only heard the noise when he'd been with Catalina. And no, it was not his thumping heart.
"Do you...do you hear that?" He asked, interrupting her mid-sentence.
"Hear what?" Catalina asked, looking over at him, a dark eyebrow raised and lips pouted to the side.
He stopped walking and she did too, the sound also stopping. "There's this...ringing? I think? I don't... I keep hearing it."
Catalina smirked. "Maybe it's the sound of Cupid's arrow." She winked.
He frowned at her, rolling his eyes. "I'm serious, are you carrying a bell or something? I keep hearing a ringing or a jingle whenever I'm with you. It's so weird."
"I think it might be your brain malfunctioning because I'm so pretty," she teased, striking a pose.
"There! I heard it again!"
She moved again and she too heard the jingle. "Oh! Yeah, it's a bell."
"What? Where?" He scanned her over a few times, pouting.
"On my key chain. Forgot about it, sorry," she giggled.
"So, I'm not going insane! Okay, good." He brought a hand to his chest. "How long have you had that?"
"For, like, a week, I think? I'm getting prepared for Christmas!"
"It's two months away, Cat."
"Hey, if there's one thing you should know about me it's that I love Christmas! I just love the snow and the lights, and the smell of fresh pine and warm vanilla! It's just divine!"
"It isn't even Halloween and you're getting ready for Christmas?"
Pouting, Catalina nodded. "Yes, is there a problem?"
Jae shook his head, glancing away from her big brown eyes. "No, just s-saying. Anyway, what apartment was it?"
"1605," Catalina replied. Turning back towards the end of the hallway and leading the way as they walked towards Daniel's place.
They stopped at the door and she was the one to knock. "I think we should tell them, don't you think?"
"Why?" Jae furrowed his brows, shoving his hand into his pockets.
"Because they're my friends, and they deserve the truth."
