Dispatched

Chapter 3

Standing at a spot, motionless and devastated to looked at a dark place. Samantha assumes he was too tired to lock the door or he wasn't home and didn't lock the door.

It made her want to go in as she is like a child who is full of curiosity. It won't be bad, right? She thought for a moment and concluded her choice. Yeah, I shouldn't go in like a thief.

Then, footsteps was heard at the staircase. Don't tell me it's him?! She felt her heart raised and her anxiety overwhelms in her mind. Thinking irrationally, she got to the apartment and shut the door.

She hid under the dinning table, prepare for the lights turn on and met the resident of this place. Instead of that, it didn't happen. She sighed for relief yet still unease that she is in her neighbour's house, without him.

Meaning she just literally barged in like a burglar. Sam turned on the lights and see the living room, the kitchen and a balcony. He's rich as fuck! It amazed her to see he had anything that she want.

She continues to explore the place and see his bedroom. It is a king size bed in front of her. She was relief he wasn't in his house or else he could call the police. "Damn! His bed is so comfortable!"

She lied down at the bed, even though it is a wrong thing to do. Yet she was tempted by the soft mattress. Also, she was impressed due to this place is really cozy.

She heard the door opened and quickly hid under the bed. She sees legs coming out of the bathroom. It must be Charles! Now she is trouble and stuck in this apartment.

She breathes softly, soundlessly under the shadows. "Where's my boxers? It should be around here." Her eyes widened to hear he's naked at the bedroom. "Found it."

He took it as he notice something odd in his place. "I know you're here to steal my stuff, so come out or l'll kill you with a knife." The woman's face become pale and her whole body shivers by the words.

"O-Okay!" She got out of the dusty place and Charles met his neighbour beside the apartment. His face immediately flushed the fact that he didn't wear any clothing.

This is embarrassing, It could be anyone! A male thief wanted to steal my items. But never thought I would meet a woman especially she's my neighbour and the same job as me!

He took a towel and wrapped around his waist or it gets more awkward in the room (but still extremely difficult to avoid the uncomfortable feeling). "Why are you here?" Okay this is weird now.

Even I, the author, felt this is the worst situation that everyone didn't wanted to be in. "In all honesty, I found a parcel at your doorstep. Unintentionally opened the door and snuck in your apartment..."

He observers her body. She looked terrified that he could call the police if he wanted to. In addition, she had some dusted on her and he sees she is wearing a navy blue dress.

Assumed she could be that she got home half an hour from a restaurant. "Would you like to clean yourself?" Her body momentarily move as he asked her the question.

"Excuse me?" She bewildered by his words as she nervously smiles at the man.

"I just said if you want to take a shower? You have dust at every part of you." (A hilarious fact about Baldi in this universe is that he hates dirty and unorganized stuff.

He always have the urges to clean everything even if it wasn't his belongings.) It's too much bizarreness for Samantha, even unsure to say anything to him.

Nevertheless, she still needs to answer his offer. "Thanks, but I think I can go to my apartment and wash myself." She was about to take her first step until the man intervened.

"Hold up!" She stopped her action and looked at her neighbour. "I don't want you to mess up my apartment!" Samantha felt he become a strict mom like her mother in her younger days.

"So you want me to use your shower?" It felt so nostalgia for her as her mother always says she must take a shower before lying on the sofa or her bed.

"Absolutely-" he realised he's letting an acquaintance of his to go shower in his place. She's not even a close friend of his. What am I doing?! He looked at her and covered his mouth. "You may, if you like..."

"Oh, then I will take a shower since you don't like getting dust on the apartment." She stepped in the shower until realised something important. I don't have anything to wear.

"Here, wear this and take this towel after you shower." She looked at the clothing he gave and see it's a plain yellow dress.

"Thank you." The woman felt unease to have this dress because of how he got the dress if he doesn't have anyone live with him. Unless he has a girlfriend.

"Could you tell me the real reason that you go into my apartment?" He sighed and murmured under his breath like cursing. I'm such an idiot for not locking the door.

"I already told you the reason of why I got in your property. But I was really curious what your place looks like." She awkwardly chuckled at her words as the man looked at his mobile phone.

It was late, eleven in the evening. "Thanks for the dress, I'll return it for you when I washed it." She steps out of the bathroom and wears the dress like was ready to go to a party.

"You don't need to." He blurted out as he got hesitant to speak and cautious about his tongue. "I mean…You could give it back at any time." Charles, what are you doing?!

"…Alright, I'll give it to you the next day." She went out of his apartment and was wondering of his words. She asked him a question if he had a partner. He said…

"I don't have any. Why you ask?" He chuckled and smirked at the question. Sam flushed because the fact that he's flirting at her without realise what he was doing.

But one thing it was weird is that he gave the woman a dress that wasn't belong to anyone. Now this is the most illogic event she jumped into. Samantha was now concern, who is this person beside her?

"He's a good guy but it's too suspicious that he doesn't have a girlfriend." Her thoughts and possibilities of the dress made her lightheaded. She sighed and went to her bedroom.

"Maybe there's something that I don't know about him."
