Someone Save Me from My New Neighbor!

Chapter Eight

_Sanji's POV_

We went for another round in the shower before he allowed me to go home. It was nearly six when I collapsed onto my couch; I was way too tired to climb up the stairs to my bed. I fell asleep almost immediately, and it was two in the afternoon when I woke up. Groggily, I made myself some coffee and went out onto the balcony to smoke a few cigarettes.

Now I was getting dressed to go grocery shopping. My movements were slow, and it took nearly twice as long as normal. My lower back was killing me, as was my neck from the uncomfortable position I was in on the couch. 

I flipped his door off on my way to the elevator and hit the button that would take it down once it reached me. I went inside when the doors opened and hit the lobby floor. I whistled and called Ace as it moves down.

"Yo!"

"What are you doing today?"

"I'm at Yamato's."

"Oooooh. Getting your dick wet, I see."

He chuckled. "Nah, we're just hanging out. They wanted to show me this really dope movie."

"What really dope movie?"

"The Sandlot."

My brain froze for a moment. "We watched that a long time ago."

"They don't have to know that."

I smiled and shook my head. "They must be really excited to show you."

"Mhm, and it would break their heart if I was to tell them I've already seen it."

The doors open, and I walked out towards the parking lot. "Well, have fun with that and tell Yamato I said hi."

"Sure will."

I slipped my phone into my pocket and froze when I saw Zoro sitting on his bike, removing his helmet. He hadn't noticed me yet, so I made a quick dash to the left, towards my car. I didn't look back to see if he saw me, and I didn't hear him call out to me. Thank God for that, because I do not feel like dealing with him right now. I opened my door quickly and got inside. As soon as I started my car, my phone received a message.

[Mossy, 3:04 PM]
That didn't go unnoticed.

I bit my bottom lip and tried to come up with a good excuse. He was going to punish me for sure, I can tell just by the way he said it. Panicking, I quickly typed a response.

[Me, 3:06 PM]
I'm sorry. I have realized my mistake. I should not have avoided you just now. Have mercy on me.

[Mossy, 3:07 PM] 
Where are you going?

[Me, 3:07 PM]
Grocery shopping.

[Mossy, 3:08 PM]
I'm guessing you don't want me going with you

[Me, 3:08 PM]
You'd be correct. No hanging out, remember?

[Mossy, 3:09 PM]
have a good trip. I have to go to the club later, so I won't be home tonight

[Me, 3:10 PM]
okay. I have work tomorrow, so I won't be home until after four

[Mossy, 3:11 PM]
Okay

I sighed with relief and set my phone down. I backed out of my spot and drove off.  There was still something kind of bothering me. He didn't say he forgave me or not. Who knows what he'll do the next time we 'play'.
