Chapter 10: I wish...

"What the...!" These were the words that escaped his lips, when he saw her petite figure covered in mud. From behind him came Facebook and stood in front of him and barked, looking at her.

She seemed fatigued as she entered the apartment, without even a single word. She walked into the living room, she was waiting for the questions to be thrown at her but none came. I'm not living with my best friend and my brother anymore! She reminded herself.

"I lost my way home," She started speaking, when the questions were not asked. "I fell in a puddle of mud, I don't know how." She spoke and opened her bedroom door followed by Facebook.

He just stared at her back as she entered her room and closed the door behind. He let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding all along, he shook his head and looked down at the marble floor where now mudded footprints existed, he frowned.

She is going to clean it.

He thought to himself and heard noise of water splashes from her room. She must be taking a shower.

It was crystal clear that she had bad sense of direction and her getting lost everyday wasn't a nice idea. He sighed and folded his arms over his chest. He had got to do something about it. Don't know what this girl might bring for him in the future. Huh! Who cares...? She was just like any other girl.

But still she wasn't like any other girl.

He brushed his hand in his hair as he reached the refrigerator and opened it to find something to eat. He grabbed an apple and leaned his hip against the counter as he took a bite, staring at her door. She was out for the whole day and he doubted if she had continued her medical procedure. One of the causes of her severe condition....

She does not complete her medical procedure.

He took another bite of his apple, just this morning she was energetic but now she was fatigued and seemed pale.

She does not take care of her diet either. No wonder she seems to be so skinny. She needs to gain some weight.

He took another bite still staring at the door like he was waiting for something to happen. Dr Hamada and Dr Snow are quite attached with her none like other patients. What does she have?

She's always determined, brave, courageous and curious, straightforward, innocent, beautiful, cute, pure inside out. And something more? What...? Unpredictable? Maybe...

He took one more bite standing in the same posture staring intensely at the door. This girl want him to fall for her. Why though...? He didn't think it through, he just agreed to the challenge. Why though....? Maybe because nobody has challenged him in awhile and it would be fun winning like old times.

He wondered if she had eaten anything. If she didn't eat. One of the reason of her being pale and fatigued. He scratched his head taking one more bite of his apple. And he threw the remaining in the bin.

Why isn't she out to eat?

He walked to her door and reached his hand to knock but stopped. He took a breath, why so nervous? He heard a voice in his head. He shook his head and decided to knock again but once again stopped.

This is your place, don't be a pussy!

Shut up! I'm no pussy...

Huh? Then don't act like one, you're the man here. Just knock!

He ruffled his hair and knocked on the door.

No Answer.

Knock Knock!
