Chapter 14

You instantly closed your mouth, closing your lips at the mention of you smiling.

"You don't have to hide that pretty smile. If you're happy, then show it! The world needs cheerful people. And let's not forget the cute little skip you're doing, well, you were doing."

You groaned and closed your eyes stepping into the elevator. Krone stepped to the side and pressed the button to the lobby floor making the doors close.

"What's so embarrassing? Do you not like expressing how you feel?" She asked.

"No! It's not that at all," you said quickly.

"Then what is it?"

"I- Umm... well you see- I have a date Ms.Krone, and I'm honestly excited and I look forward to going on the date with this person."

"Hmm? Is that so?"

"Yes!" You said with a bright face just thinking about him. "We started on a very rocky and ... unusual start, but I want to turn things around and start on a right track and all of that depends on how well tonight will go," you said looking at her like you were a teenager talking to your mom about your crush.

"Oh! Well let me tell you, whoever this person is," she placed her hand on your shoulder looking at you with a warm look. "They're very lucky to be able to go on this date with you."

You looked at her with parted lips and furrowed eyebrows, taking in her words. A smile slowly made its way to your face telling her, "Thank you. That means a lot."

She released your shoulder and looked towards the elevator double doors in front of you that's now opening. "You don't have to thank me. I'm just telling you the truth. Am I not?"

"I guess?" You said unsure. You didn't think of yourself as a special person or anything, but whenever people tell you things like saying kind things to you. Giving you compliments from here and there, boosted your confidence and made you feel a little better about yourself.

It helped your self-esteem.

A blush came on your cheeks and you had a goofy smile.

You and Krone stepped out into the lobby going outside of the building and waved each other a goodbye.

You hopped into your car playing your music at a low volume in the background as you drove through traffic, passing by cars, buildings, and pedestrians, on your way to your apartment.

You finally arrived at your building bumping into your neighbor again trying to stop you in the hallway while you were running.

"H-hey!" He shouted.

You looked towards him as you jogged trying to make it to your destination. "Huh?!" You said not bothering to slow down.

Don looked at you with furrowed eyebrows. "Slow down! Before you hurt someone with your recklessness!"

"I got somewhere to be!" You tried going around him but he was confused about where to go as the both of you tried to walk around each other but kept walking into the same place. The both of you were getting frustrated. This time, you were going to take matters into your own hands with this dumb ass.

You grabbed his shoulders and shoved him to the side so you can get to where you need to be. You did not want to be late for your first day with Ray.

Don gasped and turned around and looked at your retreated form with raised eyebrows and parted lips. He then narrowed his eyebrows and chased after you.

"Come back here!"

"No!" You yelled back running faster away from the male. You made it to your door and hurriedly unlocked it and opened your door.
