My girl Neighbour -S01 E15

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 15

Can we meet, Jen? It was a text from Kate again.

I didn't reply to her last night as I have no idea what to tell her, now she wanted us to meet.

What could she possibly want from me?

I was still debating inside on whether to text her back or not when my phone buzzed again.

Jen please, I know that you know it's me. I sit up on the couch and hit reply.

What do you want? It didn't take long when I received her reply.

Meet me and I'll tell you.

I just stared on her message still don't know what to do. Should I meet her? It must be important for her to have the guts to ask me to meet with her. Anyways, what harm could it bring if I'll meet her, right? Or... maybe she's planning something? I mean, she's different person now. How can I be sure that she will not pull anything on me?

Well, you will not have any answer if you don't meet with her. My mind shouted.

Maybe I should. I open my phone again and text her back. Meet me in the park in 20.

I looked at the time, its 6 o'clock in the evening.

I head out to my room to get a descent clothes, pulled out my denim shorts and white V-neck shirts. No need to be fancy, it's just Kate I'm meeting with.

That remind me the old times, whenever we hang out I made sure that I dressed very nice for her, trying to impress her. 20 minutes will not be enough for me to ransack my closet on what to wear, I will play mix and match in front of my mirror and will not leave if I'm not satisfy on what I was wearing.

I smiled on the thought.

I made a final glance in the mirror before I head outside, I was already in front of the building when I saw Emma's car just parked. I waited for her to come out of the car.

She looked lovely today, she's wearing a black knee length dress with white formal blazer on and her 5 inches heels just made her look so chic and sexy.

I must've been staring at her for minutes now that I didn't even notice that she's already in front of me, smiling. Nope, smirking. She's smirking at me.

That made me back to my senses.

"You're drooling."

"Wait, what?" I immediately touched my lips and chin just to realize that she was messing with me and when I looked at her she burst out laughing.

"And you're blushing." She was still laughing at me and stops when she saw that I was embarrassed.

"Whoa, I think this is the first time I saw you got so embarrassed, Jen. Now you know how it feels when you're being teased." I deserved that maybe. I smiled at her and just pinched her in the arm.

"You look lovely, Em." Now it's her turn to blush.

"Where are you going?" she seems to recover fast and looked at me from head to toe.

I don't know if I should tell her that I'm going to meet with Kate, she was pretty upset last night when I received the first message from her. But I am a bad liar, as per her so if I will lie to her now, she'll just figure it out eventually.

"Well... I'm going out to see Kate." I watched her reaction, I couldn't tell if it was bad as she's really good hiding her feelings. But one thing is for sure, she's opposed to it as her eyebrows almost meet with each other and her hazel eyes narrowed a bit.

"Why?" her voice was a bit high that made me a little bit scared to be honest, I even made a step back from her.

I get that she's upset, like she said last night, she cared about me. But her voice sounded... hurt? Was she jealous? No, that's impossible. She just doesn't like the idea of me seeing Kate after everything I told her.

"It's not what you think, Em." If she's thinking that I'm seeing her because I still have feelings for her.

"She texted me wanting to meet, must be important I guess, that's why I obliged."

I waited for her to speak, she was just staring at me and I swear, I have no idea what she's thinking now.

"Em?"

"Well, have fun." Her voice was dead and she didn't even wait for me to response to that and just walk straight inside the building.

I looked at my watch, I'm already late. I guess I'm gonna deal with her later, coz for now, I need to deal with Kate.

I arrived at the park 10 minutes late and Kate was already sitting on the swing, waiting for me.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I got held up on the way." I sat on the swing beside her, facing the opposite of her direction.

"It's fine, important is you're here." I looked at her as I heard sincerity on her voice.

She continued, "I was actually surprised when you chose to meet here."

Her eyes wandered around the park as mine too and I realized that this is our spot, exactly where we're sitting right now. We always meet here when one of us is bothered by something or just upset and want to talk about it. I must've chosen this place subconsciously.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" I decided to ignore what she said as I don't want to go back on memory lane with her and honestly, I just wanted this meeting to get over with as my mind constantly thinking about my neighbor. I don't want her to get the wrong idea about me seeing Kate.

Kate looked at me and smiled weakly. Is something wrong with her? Where is the new Kate that she's been showing off whenever we see each other? The cocky Kate that she's portraying?

"Hey, Kate are you okay?" I am genuinely concern about her now, her eyes were sad like it has no life. I know that she did hurt me but we were once friends before and I guess I could be like that for her even just for today.

"I'm sorry Jenny." Surprised by what I heard, I looked at her not sure what to say, her head was down and I heard her sniffed, was she crying?

Moments passed and I am still confused, I'm not prepared for this. I mean, I did not expect this at all, her apologizing to me? Especially after the encounters I had with her, in the party and in the grocery store. Or is she playing me?

She must've seen the look in my face, confused and disbelief written all over me.

"I can't blame you, you know, if you don't believe me or you're doubting me. I mean, I get it, I was a bitch to you ever since I came back, and now here I am, apologizing."

She held my hand and continued,

"But please know that I am really sorry for what I did to you before, ignoring you and all. And I will not make excuses for my behavior when I came back."

I stared at her hand on mine, the electricity that I felt with Emma every time her hand touches mine wasn't there. I know there's no comparison but I loved this girl before, there shouldn't be something that I need to feel?

I feel like I choked myself out and couldn't even come up with any words that I can say to her, I was just staring at her hand and her face at the same time and I'm sure I'm weirding her out now. But what should I say?

"Jen?" I heard her calling me but still there's no words coming out of my mouth. And I know I'm making a fool of myself in front of her. I need to get a grip. Like now.

"I-Uhm. Well. Uhm." I was stuttering trying to come up with something, anything when I heard her laugh.

"Oh Jen, you still haven't changed." She was still laughing and I on the other hand was still confused.

"You don't have to say anything Jen, I get it. You're surprised and confused and yeah, you're a bit weird today but I completely understand." She stood up from the swing and stand behind me. And to my surprise, she hugged me from behind and kissed my head.

"I missed you, Jenny."
