YOUR HEART KNOWS IT

PART 31

Finally, why the fifth floor? I asked myself. I didn't want to show her how exhausted I am when I was able to breathe properly as we reach the last step. The last story is different from the one's below I don't see two doors so it means it is more spacious than the others.

She walked straight to her left and opened the door using a code.
"Come in," she said, and automatically I did. I mean I could pretend to be shy but that's not necessary I am electrified to even act.

" Is this an apartment or a condo?" I asked as I enter her place. Just like the outside of the building the inside was coated black and white. It is just like how my condo is but this one is more on the minimalist side and it's safe to say that it's just like her.

"You can say that"

"Is it the same with every floor?"

"No"

"Oh yeah I figured the other floors seems to be divided it's like you own the last floor a condo-like design "

"The building owner loves me I'm a VIP here" she joked

"Well is the building owner a guy or a girl?"

"What is it with you?" She said with her back turned on me.

"Nothing" I just hope it's not a man.

"Do you like coffee or tea?"

"Coffee please" I helped myself and sat at one of the stool while I watch her make me coffee.

"If you want to get changed there's an extension room to the left beside the kitchen. I'm sure Peter has clothes that will fit you. You can borrow it if you want."

"Thank you but I'm good" who the hell is Peter?

"Have it your way then but I think you should at least change your shirt we both got soaked when we ran up to your car"

"That's fine and it's almost dry now. We could have avoided it if you told me ahead that you don't have a car with you. Where you really waiting for me to leave before taking a cab?"

"Hmm. Maybe? But let's not talk about that again shall we? We are here now and I even invited you for coffee" she said and handed me my coffee.

"Thank you. Is it safe to drink this one? " I joked

"Tsk! You could have just made your own coffee then" this girl always takes it literally.

"Haha. I'm joking okay cause it seems like you were angry while handing me the mug"

"Pft!"

"But seriously though I've been meaning to ask you this. Why didn't you just say so? I mean I know I would insist on taking you home but is it that hard for you to tell me?"

"Yes, I hate troubling anyone. Look!" she points out the window " you could have been home by now if you didn't come back at the restaurant my cab was already on the way"

"But that's my choice,"

"And where did that led you?"

"Here"

"Exactly, when you could have been resting at home by now"

"But you didn't ask me if that's what I want"

"Huh?" She said in a curious tone

"I wanted to do it for you and if you're gonna ask me, I love that I'm here with you at this hour"
