FINDING LOVE IN PARIS: Chapter 6
A Knock on the door made me reminded me I was still hungry. I tried sleeping to forget but nothing seemed to be working to tame my wild stomach. I hauled my hungry self out of the couch and opened the door.
"What do you want"I said to the fustrating person in front off me.
"What if I told you I brought food, would you let me in"My hope was renewed. I dragged him by the collar inside my apartment.
"I'll take that as a yes"He said as he gave me the plate
"What's this"I asked out of curiosity
"Chicken friccase. It's a parisan dish......"
"I don't need the history mister"i cut him off
"You could be a little more grateful you know"he said with a bored expression
"And who says I'm not grateful"I asked as I put the food in my mouth.
"It doesn't seem like it"he murmured but I didn't seem the care. At least not now when this food made me feel like I was on top the world.
I heard a knock on my door. Who was the insane person knocking on my door when I was enjoying a delicacy made by my fustrating neighbor.
"Who's that"
"It's Meredith, open up"she yelled and banged the door.
"Go deal with your girlfriend" I told him and went back to my food.
"It's your house, your visitor so go deal with her"he whispered
"Why are you whispering"I asked
"No reason"he said with a shrug
"I don't like your girlfriend one bit. I hate her with every single living bone, every cell,every nucleus in my body. If I open the door right now shes not going to like it"
He shrugged
"Do whatever you want"he said and balanced on the couch
"Open up....."she stopped midway seeing the door was open.
"What do you want dimwit"I said and eyeballed her
"Is St Clair here"she asked and I rolled my eyes
"Of all places to find him you choose my apartment"I said with a mock laughter.
"Just answer the question" She seemed to be losing her temper
"He's not here"I said
"I'm watching you"she told me giving me the stink eye
"Yeah yeah,go disturb someone else" I told her and closed the door.

I sipped my milkshake while Lila talking to me. Don't ask me what because I'm not listen. At intervals I'd chip in a few 'wow,for real, amazing' and the likes to make her believe I was listening but in reality my mind wasn't anywhere close to her. My mind was on a certain blue eyed stranger I had met on my first day in Paris. He was fustrating but he had the body of an archangel. He was a frustrating archangel.
"Krystabel, are you even listening to me"Lila asked waving her hands in front of my face.
"Probably no. I was just asking if you had met your neighbor yet"Lila asked with a mischievous smile. I knew that look. She was trying to match make me with St Clair and I wasn't going to let her do it.
"Yeah,I have"I said looking anywhere but her direction.
"He's nice right?"she asked eagerly
"If nice is another word for fustrating then yeah sure"I said and dropped the empty milkshake container inside the nearest been.
Slurps of milkshake was the name of the open resturant we were sitting at. It served one of the best milkshake I had ever tasted. Paris served the best I had ever tasted.
"He's not fustrating,he seems like a good guy and the fact that he's handsome is a bonus mark"she squealed
"Where's this going to"I asked with a bored expression dancing on my face.
"He's young and single"
I smiled. It was my time to interrupt and spoil her pretty plan.
"Lila Blackwood is wrong. He has a girlfriend,a girlfriend who is not ashamed to kiss her boyfriend in front of me so no he's not single"I said with my lips curved into a smile.
"Take that Lila Blackwood,no matchmaking of any kind is going to happen. Besides I wouldn't fall for him even if he was the last man on Earth"
"Are you sure about that Hazel"a voice that had become all to familiar spoke up from behind me.
I turned to face St Clair. He really looked like an archangel with the sun highlighting his mouth watering features.
I scoffed
"You should know the answer to that already"
"I don't,care telling me"he said and sat in the stool beside me
"It's a yes,I wouldn't fall for you even if it was to save my life"I said
He feinged hurt
"I'm still here" Lila spoke up
"Hey Lila"St Clair greeted
"Hi,I was going to get another milkshake do you want one"she asked directing the question to St Clair and I
"I want one too" I told her
"Same"St Clair said
"You don't have to buy for him"I told Lila
"I'll get it for you St Clair"Lila ignored me and left.
"I hate you"I bluttered out
"Why?"he asked with a serious expression. It was the first time I had seen him serious since I met him.
"Because you're fustrating and down right annoying" I shrugged
He raised an eyebrow at me
"Seriously"he asked in disbelief
"Yup"I said pooping the P.
Lila came back with our milkshakes.
"St Clair"a high pitched voice that I would recognize anywhere called and I groaned. Did I have to see her face today.
"Meredith?"St Clair seemed surprised
"You left me at the mall for fresh air remember"Meredith seemed irritated
"Oh yeah, sorry"He didn't seem too sorry
"Well thank you for keeping St Clair company, especially you....um what's I name again"Meredith directed the question at me
"Krystabel"I flashed a fake smile of my own.
"Thank you Babel" she said and I rolled my eyes at her stupidity
"Bye" she waved at us and left with St Clair
"Was it me or was she jealous"Lila asked once St Clair and his physcopath girlfriend were out of our hearing range.
"She was definitely jealous"I responded
"That's he's girlfriend right?"
I nodded
"What do you say about another movie night
