Chapter 11
Mia's pov:
"Mia!! Hi!!" I understand that Seb was surprised to see me but that surprised? Why? "Hi Seb." I gave my hand for a shake but he gave me a hug I didn't expect. I didn't like it but I didn't want to sound rude either. I don't like men touching me, it brings bad memories of what happened in the past.
"Shakes are old now. We're more than that." Are we? When he pulled away, the girl gave him a deadly glare. So that's it, she is more like interested in Seb than Jason, good. I understand her jealousy so I opened my mouth not being able to control it like most of the time. "Don't worry, I'm not taking your man."
They didn't understand in the beginning and before they did I added. "Seb, could you please decrease the volume of the music? I had a long day and I'd like to have some rest. Also, the neighbours may not like it as well." Seb felt a bit embarrassed. "Oh sure, sorry about that. Give me a sec."
He went inside and few seconds later, the music was off. "Sorry Mia. That's my fault. Jason bought this flat today and he's moving this week so I insisted on playing some music to celebrate. I'm really sorry."
Did I hear him right? Did he just say that Jason bought this flat and he'll be living sixty five feet away from me? Really god? It's now that my dreams of high school of Jason leaving next to me and walk together to school come true? Okay, we won't be walking together to school but he's literally living next to me.
"You live here?" Seb cut my surprise. I just nodded my head in the beginning but then I shook my head to come back to earth. "Uh...yeah, this flat here is mine and my friend's." Damn I look stupid right now. I'm still in shock.
"Wow! What a coincidence. So, you can attend Jason's party on Saturday so easily." Before I answer, Jason beat me to it. "What party?"
"Yours obviously!" Jason raised an eyebrow. "And when were you planning to tell me and invite me to MY party?" Oups, he's mad. I'm really tired and I need to sleep guys, not the time to fight. At least wait until I leave.
I opened my mouth and before I say anything I heard my name. "Mia?! What are you doing there?" Angy came out from a very fancy car that I assume is Mike's and there is Mike coming out from the driver's seat.
Angy is looking so gorgeous. If I was Mike, I'll be crazy in love with her. Not answering Angy, I focused on Mike. "Mike!" I nodded my head a bit and he did the same. "Mia!" he said it with the same tone I said his name. He then said something in Angy's ear and gave her a peek on her cheek then excused himself and left.
Angy was so red. Someone is being in love. She walked toward us smiling. "OMG Angy, you look great." If she could blush more she will. Things were getting silent and awkward between everyone so I talked. "Angy, this is Jason. Our...new neighbour."
She gave me a shocked look. I bet I had the same when I heard the news but I didn't stop at that and continued introducing. "This is Seb and this is..." I paused when I realised I don't know her name. "Emily, Seb's girlfriend." Don't worry dear Emily, we're not into your man.
"Guys, this is my best friend Angelina, the one living with me." They all gave her a hand shake. "In this case, you're invited to Jason's party too Angelina ." Seb informed her with a smile. Jason was going to argue about it. Come on, not again.
Before he says anything, I excused ourselves and wished them a goodnight. I need a rest for god's sake. Once in our room, I looked at Angy all excited and my smile reached my ears, like I'm the one who got that date.
Angy was giving me the same look I'm giving her. That made my smile drop. "I have a reason to look at you like that but why are you looking at me like that?" She took my hands and made us sit on her bed.
"What was that? I mean Jason Frost moved to a flat sixty five feet away from you? He's moving fast." She giggled at the last part and I could feel my cheeks turning red. So I do the best thing I know...changing the subject.
"In fact what's going on with You. Mike Steven bringing you home in the middle of the night in his fancy car and kissing you on the cheek?" She diverted her eyes to avoid my gaze and shrugged.
"Not only he's handsome but he's hot too. And rude." I added the last part looking to the side. "Why do you think he's rude?" She narrowed her eyebrows. "He just left without saying a word or coming to talk."
"He just doesn't like people a lot. He feels uncomfortable." She explained. "Okay now, tell me what happened? Where did he take you? Tell me everything." I'm so excited like it was my date.
"After I left, I came back home and got dressed. He came and picked me. He took me to this famous restaurant named 'SAVANA' where we had a Turkish-Italian-American food. It tastes awesome Mia, you need to give it a try." If Angy tells me what happened directly, she will die. I gave her my annoyed look.
The meal she mentioned is a mixt between Turkish food, Italian food and American food. In the beginning, we were making different meals. The Mexican alone, the Italian alone...etc but one day, Aras came with this brilliant idea.
Making a meal with a Mexican-American way or with a Turkish-Chinese-Italian way...etc. We have five types so we have more than twenty five combinations (American-Italian, American-Turkish...etc).
"Okay fine. We went to his house where he took me to this beautiful garden he has. Believe me Mia, it's amazing. The way he designed it. The way he took care of it. And the way he decorated it tonight. It was an amazing night and date. He gave me this necklace."
She touched the necklace she had on her neck. It was very simple yet elegant. It had a green small stone in a complete moon shape matching her dress and eyes' colour. She was all excited while telling me about her date and I'm so happy for her.
"He then...kissed me." I blinked at her continually. She was looking up like she just didn't say that. "Wow. Aren't you guys...going...a little fast?" I said uncertain. I don't want her to think I'm interfering in her life but I don't want her to get hurt too. We still don't know if Mike is worth trust, handsome or not.
"We were in a romantic environment and...it happened." She shrugged and cracked her fingers. The silence turned awkward between us so she said. "Anyway, let's sleep. I'm tired."
Jason's pov:
It was 11am when Seb was calling. 'Isn't he supposed to be at work? Why is he calling me?' I thought to myself. "Yeah?" I said with a sleepy tone. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty." Why is he so happy? "What do you want Seb?" I turned to the other side waiting for his reply.
"I have good news. We're buying you a flat." I think I'm so sleepy that for a moment I thought I heard him say 'We're buying a flat'. "We're doing what?" I laughed.
"We're buying you a flat. Now stop wasting my time and meet me at your door in 10mn." He cut the call. I still didn't get if he's serious or joking. The only way to figure that is to meet him. It turned out that Seb was so serious about it.
After arguing on the reason why I should buy a flat when I can live with my parents, and after telling him that there's no problem in living with my family even if I'm thirty, I gave up and did as he wanted.
In arguments, you can't win against Seb if you want peace and I do want peace. We saw two flats before moving to the third one. I got tired but Seb didn't give up. He insisted so much on the third one.
I agreed since I didn't care about that and the flat isn't bad at all, the outside is good too and the neighbours seem quiet since I didn't meet any of them. They must be at work. The thing that I still don't understand is where did Seb come with this idea and the reason he's insisting too much.
We agreed with the owner on the price. He said that the papers will be ready tomorrow morning. He gave me a double of the keys. I won't have the main keys until the papers are signed and the price is paid. Seb called Emily, his girlfriend, and invited her to the celebration. "Who even celebrates on Monday dude? And you're working tomorrow. You can't get drunk."
