"Um, hi." I said awkwardly.

There was silence, only the sounds of the elevator moving was heard. I sneaked a glance at him, he was eyeing my Wingstop box. Unconsciously I moved the box closer to me.

"Wingstop...you like Wingstop?" he asked.

"Yes-Yes sir."

Silence elapsed between us again.

"What did you get?"

I glanced at him questioningly before reciting my order.

I saw his eyebrows raise up in surprise, he said, "Nice, I got the same thing."

Nodding my head, I patiently waited as the elevator, continued moving.

33...34...35...

"Have you finished the files I gave you?"

"No, sir, I'm halfway finished."

He nodded, looking away again.

This was extremely awkward. When was the elevator going to reach the 54th floor?!

48...49...50...

"Stop by my office later today, I need to go over some stuff with you."

"Yes, sir"

The elevator opened, finally reaching the 54th floor, he gestured for me to go first, I went ahead, walking quickly back to my office.

I was reaching out to open the door when someone reached out to grab my elbow.

"Ms.Diamond."

I recognized the voice immediately. It was Mr.Collins. I groaned inwardly, can't I just eat my wings in peace!

I turned around facing him.

"Yes sir?"

His lips curled into what seemed to be a semi-smile.

"Enjoy your lunch."

He looked as if he wanted to say more, but he stepped back, giving me one last glance, before returning back into his office.

Is he bipolar? Acting cold to me before, but here he wa smiling, and acting friendly.

I pushed the thought aside, going inside my office to eat my precious wings.

I sipped my sprite again, the refreshing liquid healing my parched throat.

Setting it down onto my desk I sent my last email, arranging the files neatly clumping them together, locked my computer, and made my way to Mr. Collins office.

I knocked stepping away from the door. I heard voices come from inside the room, so I decided to knock again.

The voices continued without interruption. Hesitantly I looked around me to make sure no one was in the hallway and placed my ear against the door.

"Mr. Collins!" A voice shouted.

I think I recognized the voice, it must be that girl from the morning I had met.

"Take your f**ing clothes off." a gruffly voice said.

"Mmmmm-yes sir!" she responded quickly.

I stepped back from the door immediately. Were they having sex?

Blood rushed to my cheeks, and I rose my hand to knock once again.

"Hunter, faster! F*ck I'm going to-"

I turned away from the door and heading straight back to my office. I couldn't help but feel disappointed and disgusted with Mr.Collins.

I didn't talk to him for the rest of the day.

*

I was lounging in my chair, going over the files once again and placing them in order. Which I had been doing for the past hour, over and over again.

I finally decided to go to his office again knocking quickly and stepping away from the door; I had learned my lesson, to not eavesdrop on people.

"Come in"

I pushed the door open, looking at everything but him and handed the files to him. I could feel his burning stare on me, yet I still refused to look at him. The files left my hand as Mr.Collins leafed through it.

I got the courage to look at him.

His eyebrows were pulled up in a curious and observing manner. He had high, taut cheekbones, with a strong jawline. Oh god his lips, his lips were pinkish and looked so smooth yet roughed a bit.

Probably he was too busy kissing some woman.

I looked away again, still standing and waiting for him to approve my work.

"Good work, you can go home, I won't have anything else for you to do today."

"Yes sir." I nodded going to leave.

"Ms.Diamonds?" he called out to me.

"Yes sir?" I turned around facing him.

"Have a good day."

His eyes found mine, searching them as if trying to look for something.

"You as well Mr.Collins."

Finally I turned around leaving his office, gathered my purse and other materials, and went home.

*

As soon as I got home I kicked off my heels an relaxed into the couch.

I still had a few hours to spare before my best friend came back home.

The house feels emptier than a crypt. I can't just sit here watching the walls, no matter how pretty they may look.

I went to my room and changed into a tank top, shorts, a large towel, and my phone heading to the swimming pool outside.

I slid open the door and closed it behind me and sat on one of the patio chairs near the swimming pool.

I played some random music on my playlist, Mama by Mayorkun.

Mama born you

Your mama born you well

And you are beautiful too

I want to hold you

Girl I love you

Girl I wanna love you well

I know you fell in love but nobody caught you

I got up from the chair dancing to the beat.

I'm gonna stick with you like a bamboo

Are you getting me?

Are you getting me?

Pepper the rest, you are my Toyin tomato

Are you getting me?

Are you getting me?

I go let you know

The song soon ended and I was left in silence again.

I suddenly had the sense that I was being watched. Looking around my surroundings I took notice of the condo that was next to our apartment.

The curtain had flickered closed before I could get a good look at the persons' face.

Who was this person?

Suddenly a dreadful thought crossed my mind.

What if they were stalking me?

I decided that day, I was going to figure out who our 'neighbor' is.
