"When it's time for two souls to meet, There's nothing on earth that can prevent them from meeting"

"Rence, I can't help you this time.I told you last time that was your last help.Why don't you just go back home.I'm sure your Father will forgive you."
I sighed and ended the call without saying any words to Lilia; she's one of my friend that I contacted after I left my home. She's the only one I can trust right now, but it looks like even her can't help me anymore.
I stopped the oncoming tricycle,when it stopped in front of me,I hurriedly got on.Lightning was drawing in the sky and from time to time there was also loud thunder.
"Where are we going, Sir?"Asked the driver of the tricycle.
"Respisio Street, Sir," I replied.I leaned my back against the back of my seat inside the tricycle.And I leaned my head against its mirror.Third job and third time I was also fired.Its hard to start a new life, especially if you are used to someone doing everything for you and all you have to do is order.
I come from a luxurious family.My father is a senator, and at the same time he is a business man.We are a family of politicians but I am the only one who deviated from the path.One of the reasons why I don't have a good relationship with my father .
"Sir, we're already here," said the drive.
"How much?"I asked.
"Thirty pesos,Sir,"He replied.
After giving my payment,I walked down the alley to the apartment where I was staying.The apartment I am staying in is two story.I am on the second floor and second room on the left.I chose the room just near the stairs.The interior of the apartment is studio type so when you enter you can see all my belongings.From my bed you can see the kitchen, there is a small table in the middle of my unit that also serves as my dining room.
"Where is it?"I muttered to myself, as I couldn't find the room key in my backpack.
I was about to get my phone in my left pocket to call the owner of this apartment, but I stopped when I heard a noise in the room next to mine.I have been here for a month and this is the first time there is someone in the room next to me.This is the middle room on the second floor.Louis said; he rents the third room downstairs.The room next to mine is the apartment owners room.Louis also told me that the owner only comes here once in a while.And he also told me the owners name and his name is Lucas.
The woman I talked to when I hired the unit was just a caretaker and only provided the owner's contact number, incase of emergency like today.
I stepped closer to the room then I knocked.I looked at my shoes while waiting for the door to open.A few minutes passed but no one still opened the door."Did I hear it wrong?"I asked myself weakly.I grabbed my neck and shook my head.I looked behind me as the rain began to pour down. "Great!" I muttered.I can just break down the door.I was about to step back to the door of my unit and do what I thought when finally the door that I'm knocking opened.
"What is it?"He asked when he opened the door.He's not looking at me because he's lighting a cigarette.The door is slightly open. He's topless.
"Ammm ---," I adjusted the strap of my backpack on the right side of my shoulder before I continued to talk."I think I lost my keys.Can I borrow your spare key, Sir,"He turned to me after he exhaled the smoke of his cigarette.He stare at me, f**k! Does he know me?.
The light on the second floor of the apartment was outside of the last unit and it did not reach much light from where we were standing.As much as possible I don't want to interact with other people.
"Come in first,"He said after a long moment of just staring at me.He's lit cigarette was stuck to his lips.I blew air.It was good to know that he didn't know me.
I was going to say that I'll just wait outside, but he turned his back on me.I sighed again before entering his unit.The smell of cigarettes greeted me so I coughed.The room was just as big as my room.The only difference was that it was fully equipped. Ofcourse!Rence, his the owner.
"Sit down first.Juice or coffee?I don't have any alcohol here,"I could barely understand what he said.
"Can you remove the cigarette in your mouth first.So we can understand each other,"I said before I sat down on his long single sofa.I missed my sofa back at home, it's in my bathroom and it's just the same size as the one I'm sitting on now.I put my two elbows on both my thighs and interwined my fingers before putting it in my chin.I turned to the man, but I quickly averted my gaze,he was approaching me.He placed a glass of pineapple juice on the glass table in front of me.
"What were you saying before?"He asked.He sat down on the floor in front of me before he pressed the cigarette on the astray on top of the table.
I stared at the man for a while.He was wearing a black padjama and I could see the bulk in between his legs.The size was not bad,but mine was still bigger.Lean body with six pack abs, long jawline, Adams apple, Hazel eye color and longhair. I blinked and lowered my gaze back to its eyes. "Am I that attractive? Your drooling just now," He said.A smirk forming on his lips.The hell! His talking!.
I quickly stood up and faced the door but, before I could take a step he spoke"Keys?" He said.I looked at him in my shoulder.He was still sitting on the floor and now he was playing with his lips.
"Jerk!" I replied before stepping away.My back hit the door as he pushed me.He hit the door just beside my head.If I was right, he was six feet because he almost pass the door above him.In our position now it is as if we are in a romantic novel between a woman and a man, but for the sake of my sanity where both men!.I tried to push him away with all my strength, but it did not budge from where he stood in front of me."Get the hell! Out of my way you, jerk!" I growled angrily at him.
"Second time!The next time you call me a jerk, you'll gonna regret it,"He said.
He held my jaw."Jerk!"I muttered.
"You make me do this!"He said,before he kissed me.
