Chapter 44: Birthday

❀Azalea❀

After cheating my way through two tests on this lovely evening, I return to the humble abode. More like the dumpster-dorm.

That's a little dramatic. It isn't really dumpster-esque. It's actually quite nice. But it's just not home.

"We meet again," a male voice says as I make it to the elevator of my building. I turn to the guy. Towel guy. I only sigh.

I enter the elevator and he follows in it after me. I click my floor and he only stands beside me, not clicking any other floor.

I think about letting loose an air-biscuit just to suffocate him in here but unfortunately, I don't have any brewing at the moment.

"I think you and I got started off on the wrong foot, the times we have seen each other," he begins, turning toward me.

I will laugh in his face if he tells me his name is Chad.

"I'm Jake," he says and I close my eyes. Jake. His name seriously has to be Jake.

Nope, his name's not Jake, it's Jack. I'm calling him Jack.

"Nice to meet you, Jack," I watch the floor number as it stops at my floor.

"W-Well, it's Jake, but yeah, you can call me whatever beautiful," I feel his smile on the side of my face but I don't look at him.

"What is it? Jade?" I turn toward him, scrunching my eyebrows.

"Jack," he says then his eyebrows scrunch together and he shakes his head, "wait, no. My name is Jake."

"Oh," I draw out, "sorry Jack."

I laugh evilly internally. Grey would be proud of me at this moment.

I walk out of the elevator and toward my room. He follows.

"Like I said, name doesn't matter. What are you doing later?" he keeps up with my pace, walking beside me.

"Probably spending the rest of the night on Facetime with my b-word while he sits in his office doing nothing," I tell him honestly.

"Your bitch?"

"Yep," I nod.

"Like boyfriend?" he asks. Duh, what else would I be talking about? I only give him a nod.
