My Careful Lover

OPPORTUNITY 2

The next morning came faster than Moon had wished for as she is sleep deprived partly due to work and then her neighbour that refused to leave after eating, insisting on keeping her company. After locking her apartment, she entered her car in a haste and tossed her handbag into the passenger's seat with hope of not seeing her neighbour this morning. She quickly put on her sit belt and turned the ignition key to start the car but before she could change the gear the person she was running away from knocked on the window making her jump out of freight, where did he come from? she asked herself before turning off the car

She contemplated whether to run him over with the car or just ignore him and drive out, no that would be rude, she reasoned with herself. He is becoming a pain in my ass, she complained in her head and slowly lowered her window only for Ocean to poke his head into the car, their faces too close to each other. She instinctively jerked her head back in order to create some space between them but Ocean who is lost in her sweet feminine scent went closer to her. She stared right back into his eyes as her poor heart wanted to explode in her chest due to their closeness.

"Mr neighbour don't you know what they call personal space?" she asked softly while moving her head back again

"I can't help it, you smell so good. Hope you slept well?" He smiled at the way her eyes squinted at his question. He continued,

"Which shampoo do you use for your hair?" He stretched his hand to touch her long, smooth and shiny black hair. He combed his fingers through the curly tips and smiled, partly because of the feeling of her hair against his hand and knowing very well her heart was threatening to jump out of her chest because of his action.

"Normal shampoo I think. Does it smell bad?" she took a little sniff of her hair

"Nothing bad can ever come out of you my dearest rabbit teeth neighbour. Hope you don't mind sharing it with me?"

"oh" she cleared her throat and continued,

"I can tell you the name so you would buy one for yourself if you like it"

"Don't be stingy, I want to use yours"

"Okay you can have it when I come back from work" she immediately agreed hoping he would leave

"Is that your romantic way of asking me to come over?"

"What? in case you haven't noticed, I am trying to get rid of you"

"Another way of trying to tell me to stay longer? you really have a way with words"

"you are sick. Please I am running late to work, I need to get going"

"You look tired, why don't you take a rest?"

"What are you now? My boss?" Ocean smirked at her

"Who knows?"

"Ha ha very funny"

"But I didn't crack any joke" She rolled her eyes at him

"That was sarcasm."

"I see. By the way, I like the way you packed your hair today"

"what way? this is just a normal ponytail"

"I know, it shows how perfect your beauty is"

"Mr neighbour are you flirting with me?"

"I wouldn't dare" He replied with an innocent look. She tried to glare at him but couldn't hold back the little smile that formed on her lips. She didn't understand how one person could rile her up and at the same time make her laugh or smile.

"Good. I need to start going, see you later" I hope not, she said in her mind and Ocean laughed making her brows furrow

"You are really something, always telling me the opposite of what is on your mind but don't worry, I will definitely see you soon" she flashed him a fake smile while his eyes lingered on her face especially her small glossed lips
