I'm Travis, And I Want To Be Friends With You

"No," I said. "I mean, the first we met, you just basically glared at me as if I did something wrong when all I did was stand there and watch you make out with your model girlfriend. Where is she anyway?" I asked and his pupils dilated while he's cheeks were so red. I looked around and saw the people near us were looking at us.

Did I say it out loud? Is that why he's blushing because I blurted it all out in public? Well, its true.

"You don't have to say it loudly, Blue Eyes!" he whispered and drank his wine. He's drinking wine in this afternoon heat.

"Well, I just said it! And then out of the blue you started talking to me, you even cooked for me and then I never saw you after that. And I heard you last, last night with a woman, screaming your name and screaming God's name even you aren't doing something holy for Pete's sake! And last night you basically shared sentiments with me and now, you just went cold and shared table with me. What's your deal, Mister Frustrated Pornstar?" I said continously without even holding back while he just stared and listened to me the whole time blinking his eyes trying to process everything I've said to him. And his cheeks were even more red.

The people around us are looking at us. I didn't care less, I was furious about his actions towards me and I want to clear this thing because it's bothering me so much, to the point I can't even sleep and my heart beats abnormally thinking about me. This is giving me a headache.

"So, what's your point?" he finally asked after heaving a sigh many times.

"My point is, what are you trying to do?" I asked him. But before he could answer, I added, "Yeah, I get it. We're neighbours, you care. But what is your deal, really? One time you ignored me and the next you'll notice me. And then again you will ignore me and the cycle continues. What's that? I don't even know you."

I just know the basics about him. His Travis, he's CEO and he's my neighbour. There was a long pause between us. He drank his wine again for the nth time and asked for another. The waitress added his wine after she left, Travis started to smirk and gently laughed. I saw him laugh again, last night and today. And here I am again, my heart beats so fast.

"I'm Travis Ulrich Moore. 23 years old. A graduate of Law. I own Moore Future Tech. And I'm your neighbour, and I want to be friends with you," he said. He smiled after and left me and he handed the waitress the menu and a bill before leaving.

I just sat there, silently trying to process what he said. He wants to be friends with me? I touched my cheeks when I felt it burning. I immediately stood up and paid the waitress but she said it's been paid by Travis. I thanked her and hurried outside. As soon as I got out, I saw Neo standing beside my car while he's facing Travis whose back faces me.

Looks like they were talking about something serious. I didn't knew they know each other. Is that why he acts likes he knows Travis when he asked me if I was neighbour with him? And they're towering each other.

I just stood there and watched them closely when Neo saw me first. I waved at him and he smiled. Travis then looked at me then also smiled and left, tapping Neo at his shoulders.

I went to Neo when Travis already left. "Hey, I'm sorry I left the party last night. I didn't have the time to tell you," I started.

"I heard what happened last night. Adora told me and good thing Travis was there. Are you okay?" he asked me with full of concern. This is what I like about him. He's just so caring. His girlfriend will be so lucky to have him.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm sorry it happened."

"It's not your fault, silly," he said and ruffled my hair. I just let him, I missed him doing things like this to me. He's been awfully quiet since. It's good to know that he's smiling now, I just hope he will be back at being the talkative Neo again.

"Are you with Travis?" he asked.

"No! We just bumped at each other here, and I was looking for you to say sorry," I replied. He smiled again showing his beautiful dimples. His dimples even made him looks so perfect.

"Oh. Let's have a walk?"

And I nodded. We walked by the park, it's afternoon and the sun is up and hot but we both found a tree to shed. We sat at the grass under the tree. And we all have this weird habits everytime we sat on grasses. Yes, pulling them out and shredding them to pieces.

We just talked about the party last night. He didn't heard about the commotion at the kitchen as he was at the garden with his frat friends. He only knew from Adora and he saw Travis dragging me towards the backyard of the house.

"I already took good care of what happened. He deserved the beating for doing it to you," he said. I was shocked to hear it. I didn't think that he would do something like that.

"Is he still alive?" I asked and he laughed.

"I didn't killed him, dummy. He just received a good beating from my friends. He's fine," he said, reassuring me. And I believe him. He's Neo after all. He's a trusted friend of mine.

"You got used to calling me names now, aren't you?"

"Because that's who you are," he sarcastically replied. I throw the grasses that I've shred to his face and some of it entered his mouth. He immediately stood up and cleaned his mouth while I was laughing so hard at him.

He also picked the grasses and thrown it to me. I immediately stood up and we ended up throwing grassed to each other. It just feels so good to laugh and have fun like this, especially when you're with someone who is fun to be with.
