I chuckled, but I was itching to ask her why she called so that she could get to it and the call could end.


    Instead of going straight to why she called, she pouted her lips, "Come on give me a better view. I shouldn''t even be asking!"


    "You should learn to never lose focus, Sharon, that''s one of the important rules of business and life in general" I said with feigned seriousness, "why did you call?"


    She giggled, palming her mouth. Then with a gesture of her hand, she roamed my face, "You look even hotter with all of that serious look on." She sighed dreamily, "Aren''t I just lucky to have such a hot hunk as mine?"


    "For real Sh


    I sighed, "For real, Sharon, why did you call?"


    She jutted out her bottom lip. "Your soon-to-be fiancée doesn''t need a reason to call. I can call you whenever I want. I can just call you to hear your voice. You had better get used to that."


    "Of course," I murmured. "Now, get to the point,dy. I was working when your call came in," I felt a pang of guilt at the smooth lie.


    She rolled her eyes, "When did you get this boring? You wouldn''t give me a better view," her gaze lowered to the end of the screen before they hiked back up to my face, "And you wouldn''t stay to chat with me for a while."


    "It''s work. Not my fault."


    "Anyhoo," she beamed, "Check this out," she said as she flipped the camera from selfie mode to the rear.


    The rear camera panned across the velvety night, revealing the city''s twinkling lights and the little stars in the cloud before homing in on a strikingly familiar structure.


    I squinted at the building. "Sharon, that''s my house."


    The camera was immediately switched back to selfie mode as she chirped with a big grin, "What do you think?"


    I wanted to scoff. What do I think? Why are you able to show me my house! Why are you near my house!


    "Well," she began without waiting for my response, "I moved into your house."


    My brows hiked up my hairline and I blinked, wondering if I heard wrong. "You what?" Perhaps it was high time I tell her how I really felt, damned the consequences. "Why would you move in without-"


    I stopped abruptly when I realized that she was cackling to herself.


    Nice one.


    "Oh my goodness, Alden! You never cease to crack me up all the damn time. But rx, okay? It''s not time for that yet. I mean, with so many sparks flying in the air, I wouldn''t want to overwhelm you by moving directly in your house." She flipped her hair, "I''m a very consideratedy. Besides we have all of our lives. to savor living together so we aren''t rushing into it."


    "Uh uh. So what''s all this about?"


    And, she was beaming again. "I bought the house next to yours and moved in!" She blurted. That is what happens when you have too much money you have no use for, I thought to myself. "Wow," I muttered dryly.


    "I know right? I am so excited! So when are youing back, I already missed you."


    "I''d be back soon," I answered absentmindedly, having lost appetite for anything and everything.


    "Gosh, I can''t wait for you to be back. We''d have so much fun together. We''d have a great time living as neighbors. From sleepovers to indoor date nights to movie dates..." she sighed, "the list is endless. We can even go jogging together!


    "Who knows?" she wiggled her brows but I could tell she was half serious, "maybe it could even help you make up your mind faster."


    Oh God..


    "Wait, do you gym at home or there''s a gym nearby you go to?"Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    "I prefer to work-out at home."


    "Oh buggers! It would have been so cool to go to the gym together." Her face lit up again, "But you go jogging, don''t you?"


    I sighed. "I do, Sharon."


    "Perfect!" She squealed. "I will get us matching trainers and sweats." She was literally jumping in her seat "It would be so much fun. Aren''t you looking forward to it?"


    I gave her a tight lipped smile and it was enough for her to continue to babble about all of her other awesome and fun ns for us.


    My God. How does she not get tired of making ns without informing who she involves in the ns?


    "Fun to be neighbors, isn''t it?" she said with a soft smile before she hung up...in fact I almost hung up before she did.


    After the line went dead, I tossed my phone on the bed and watched it bounce a bit before dropping still.
