Long Story Short (it was mistake)

Chapter Eleven

I run as fast as I can to reach the door and leave my house. I don't care if he will get all my important things, the only thing that matters for me right now is my life. When I reach the door, I immediately go out and close it.

I sigh as I close the door. I'm now in the hallway, and the whole 40th floor is peaceful. I can't see any person.

I start to panic when I realized that there's a possibility that the intruder will follow me. I immediately run towards the elevator but when I almost reach the elevator, someone calls my name.

"Eunice?" I look back to see Harry standing in front of his door. I run towards to him.

"P-please help me! Someone is in my house" I held both of his hand and beg.

"W-what do you mean?" he asked. He looks down to see my feet. I follow his gaze and I was surprise because I didn't notice that I was barefoot.

"C-can you just please let me in?" he just nods and opens the door for me.

I get in, the looks of his unit are still the same from the last time that I've been here.

"Make sure to lock the door" I said when he closed the door.

"I will" he answers.

I sit on his couch. I suddenly feel awkward when I remember what we did here last week. My cheeks start to heat up.

"Do you want water? Juice? Or coffee?" he asked. I look back at him because he is in the kitchen. He's wearing the same clothes when we talk earlier.

"Water will work" I said.

He walks towards me and gives me the bottled water. I took it from his hand and drink all of it.

"Now tell me what happened?" he asked as he sits down on my left side. He has 3 huge couch that is forming a C-shaped.

"I saw someone in my house. He was wearing an all black outfit. I also heard him talking to someone, he said that he's been there for 3 hours, waiting for me to wake up. Thank God that I woke up earlier before he decided to get in my bedroom. Thanks to block ou---" I suddenly stop talking when I realize that there was no block out that happened, because Harry still has electricity.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay. I'm scared" I look at him in the eyes. "I'm scared because there's a stranger inside my house" my tears starts streaming down on my face, I'm crying.

"Okay, okay, calm down! Do you want me to call a police?" he pats my shoulder.

"N-no, don't" I said in between my cries. "I-if you call the police, my boss will surely scold me" I add.

He just stares at me with a question mark on his face.

"The inspectors are here, if you call a police, of course I'm going to make a scene and the inspector will find out that there is an intruder in my unit. Then, you guys will think that this condominium doesn't have a good security. And its going to affect the evaluation of this condominium." I explain. I drink the remaining water in the bottle which helps me to stop from crying.

"But this is about your security. Stop thinking about your work, think about your safety"

"I know, but please don't call a police"

He sighs. "Fine, but what are you going to do?"

I don't either. All I want is to be safe, and I think being with Harry is one of the safest place so far.

"Maybe, I should just wait until he leaves" I answer.

"What if he didn't leave?" his eyebrows met, and I can see the care in his blue eyes.

"He probably will, because I heard him talking to the phone. He said that he's been there for 3 hours, waiting for me to wake up. Which means that he doesn't have any intention to steal."

"Do you think he's into you?" he asked.

"I think so" I nod.

"But why?" he asked. He stands up and walks towards the closet beside the door of his room on my left side.

"I-I don't know. Maybe he wanted to r**e me or kill me. I'm not sure. I can't think of any reason why someone wants to hurt me" I explain.

He walks back to me and passes me a jacket. I hesitated to take it from him, but he extends his hands and waits for me to take the jacket.

"Its cold, wear it."

His phone in his pocket rings and before he answers it he excuses his self to me.

"Just give me a seconds" he said. I just nod and smile at him. He immediately go inside his room.

I realized that I had my phone in my left hand. Thank God that I took it with me.

I gaze at the wall clock, the time said that it is 1:15 AM. I wear a gray jacket that Harry gave to me, it is a zip up hoodies. I didn't feel any cold although I'm just wearing a pajama and a loose round sleeveless top. It doesn't fit in me. Well, the sleeve is too long. Harry is tall, I think he's about more than 6'5 tall. I'm not sure but he's really tall, so I'm not expecting to fit his clothes on mine.

I just wait here for a minute or two before he finally leave his room. He stares at me from head to toe and smile.

"It perfectly fits in you" he chuckles. I don’t know if I should be annoy or just laugh at what he said, because I literally look like a scarecrow here.

I just roll my eyes on him and smile. He sits beside me. We are an inch away from each other.

"So, what do you want to do?" I was surprised at what he said. What do I want to do? What does he mean by that? Is he thinking that I'm here because I want to have s*x??

"I mean, what do you plan to do? Are you just going to wait until your intruder is gone?" he clarifies. I think he reads my mind.

"Maybe? I don't know. I think it is much better to just wait here. I'm sure he'll leave soon"

"I think I should go inside your unit and check if he was still th---"

"Are you crazy? Of course he's still there!!" I shout at him. "And besides, you're risking your life if you go there. Let's just wait until tomorrow."

"Okay, calm down. Let's just wait until the sun came up and we'll check your house, okay?" he assures me. I nod at him.

He lay his back on the sofa. I watch him as he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

"By the way, why are you still awake?" I ask him.

"I can't sleep. I was about to go on roof top to get some air" he said with his eyes close.

"ahh" was all that I said.

The whole room is filled with silence. Neither of us talks, he just stays on the couch, laying his self. I think he's already asleep.

Neither of us talks, he just stays on the couch, laying his self. I lean down and stare at him.

His red lips took my attentions. I didn't realize that I started to gulp, he has a thin lip and his upper lip has a perfect heart shape that makes it look more attractive. The tip of his nose has a cute horizontal lines. I don't know how people call it but usually American people only have that line on nose tip.

He has many tiny blood vessels on his cheeks that makes him to have a natural pinkish cheek. I suddenly feel jealous because I have to put blash on to have a pinkish cheek. His has a cleft chin which giving him a Shawn Mendes vibes.

I almost jump out of the sofa when he suddenly opens his eyes, revealing his blue eyes. I distance myself on him and clear my throat.

"I-I'm sorry. I was just... Um. I just"

f*ck, I'm stuttering. I don't know how to explain why I'm staring at him.

"Its fine. Do you like to drink wine with me?" he stood up.

Oh thank God he didn't ask about it.

"Yeah, sure" I smile. He walks to his kitchen and brings a bottle of wine and 2 wine glass.

"Don't worry, you'll not get drunk here" he chuckles. He put the wine on the table in front of us, and he sits on the couch in my left side.

"I know silly" I said as I laugh. He opens the wine and pours it in the wine glass.

He offers me the glass of wine, and I take it. "Thank you" I said on him. I take a sip on it.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, but don't ask for money" he laughs.

"NO!" I laugh. "Its about what you said earlier. You said that your ex-girlfiend died, right?" I assure first before asking a question. You said that your ex-girlfiend died, right?

"4 years ago when we met online, I remember that you said that you've never been in a serious relationship. You said that all the woman that you dated was only for fun. I'm just wondering if you lied or I just remember it wrong?"

He took a sip on his wine before speaking.

"Its true, I didn't lie to you. My ex-girlfriend Selena died four years ago. But we are not serious to each other, we only dated because we are just sexually attracted to each other but we have no special feelings for each other."

"Do you mind if I ask why did sh---"

"Why did she die?" he cuts me off. "She committed suicide" he continues.

"Are you sure that you never have a special feeling for her?" I ask. I know that this is a private question, but I can't help but to ask. My curiosity is eating me.

"Maybe I develop a feeling for her, but it was not that special" he said.

"Is she the reason why you had a mental illness?" I lowered my voice a bit because I was a little nervous that he might get angry with my question.

"No, actually I already had unstable mental health. I've experienced depressed when in high school. I just got healed but when my ex-girlfriend died it came back and it gets worse." he said as he picked up his glass of wine and drink the rest of it.

I just nod at him.

"How about you? How have you been?" he asks like it we are friend that just met after a long time.

"Well, as you can see. I'm working here as a housekeeping inspector. It is my first job actually, and I just got promoted a week ago." I stated.

"Really? Congrats then" he said and wears his smile that will melt every girls heart.

"Thank you" I replied. He refills my wine glass after he refills his own glass.

he said and wears his smile that will melt every girls heart.

"For my promotion" I said as I place my wine on his, to cheers with him. The sounds of our glass filled the room for a second. We both drink our wine until our glass is empty.

"So, what happen to you after we met on the internet? I mean, have you been happy?" he asked.

His question made me ask myself too. Am I happy? Well, I don't know either.

"After that night I regretted what I did, that's why I blocked you. I decided to focus on my school, and I study hard. I decided to forget men in my life."

"Do you have a boyfriend or have you been in a relationship?" he asked.

"Yeah, when I graduated in college, I've dated a guy whose name is Allen. We dated for more than 1 year."Yeah, when I graduated in college, I've dated a guy whose name is Allen." he smiles when I said that I had no boyfriend.

"That's good! At least I have a chance now" he chuckles.
