Strange Encounters: Vol. 2

Neighbors

Gina looked up at Hawk with a smile on her face. "Wow, fancymeetingyou- again. Iwaswanderingif- Icouldbarowacupofsugar." Gina said as she held up a cup.

Hawk took the cup from Gina and looked down at her. "You came all this way to get a cup of sugar?" Hawk asked as he made his way to the kitchen.

"Oh, itwasn'tfaratall." Gina replied with a smile on her face.

Hawk walked back and handed her the cup of sugar. "What do you mean?" Hawk asked with a raised brow.

"Iliveoverthere." Gina said as she pointed down the hall.

"Oh." Hawk said with wide eyes. This can't be good, Hawk thought with dread.

"Seeyoulater." Gina said as she waved at Hawk. He watched as she walked down the hall and stepped into her apartment. Hawk closed his door, the look of shock on his face and he slowly made his way  back to his bedroom.

Hawk sat down on his bed and blinked his eyes. How can anyone under- stand someone who talks that fast? I could barely understand her myself, Hawk thought as he lay down. He picked up his phone and looked at the time.

Hawk opened his message app and began to type. I just had a strange encounter. He pressed send and waited for a response.

Meanwhile Kimmy had just dried off and was putting on her under- wear, when she heard her phone ding. Walking into the main room where her bed stood, Kimmy sat down and picked up her phone. Kimmy's brow arched as she saw it was a text from Hawk and opened it.

Kimmy read the text and began to type. Oh, what was it? Kimmy wrote and pressed send.

Hawk's phone dinged and he looked at the reply, before typing. Before Summer started, I noticed that I had a neighbor move in. I never met them, but just a minute ago I met their daughter. Hawk pressed send and once again waited for a reply from Kimmy.

Kimmy had put on her nightshirt, just as her phone beeped. Kimmy picked up her phone and read what Hawk had text her. That's not all that strange. Kimmy typed, before hitting send.

Hawk sat up on the edge of his bed, as his phone dinged. He read the message and typed another message. Once I figured out that she wanted sugar, I got it for her and I swear that girl has the fastest mouth in the west! Hawk wrote and pressed send.

Kimmy heard her phone beep and read the message. Kimmy fell backwards and begin to have a laughing fit. She held her side's as she rolled off her bed and fell onto the floor. When Kimmy finally got her laughter under control, she got up and sat on her bed again.

Thank you Hawk, I laughed so hard I fell off my bed. You should introduce me to her, it would be a delight. Kimmy wrote and pressed send.

Only you would think that was funny, anyways I'll let you go. Goodnight Kimmy. Hawk wrote and pressed send. His phone dinged one last time and he read the message. Goodnight Hawk. Hawk set his phone down, lay down on his bed and fell asleep with a smile etched on his face.

Hawk woke up the next morning, letting out a yawn as he stretched and made his way to the bathroom. He then made his way to the kitchen and made himself a bowl of cereal and sat down to eat. Hawk cleaned up the dishes and just as he finished, his phone dinged.

Hawk walked over and picked up his phone, seeing Kimmy's name on the screen. "Hello Kimmy, what gives me the pleasure of receiving a call from you?" Hawk asked.

"I'm not feeling to good and would appreciate it if you could run to the store for me." Kimmy said in a low and weary voice.

"Ok, I'll be there in a little bit." Hawk said as head- ed to the door.
