Getting to know you

After dinner, they wash the dishes up and clean up the table. Sitting dow on his sofa, she search for movies to watch. While he is washing apples and cutting them up in the kitchen. 

"What theme of movie do you want to watch?"

"Any, you decide."

"How about ... the lake house?"

"Sounds good." 

She wait till he walk out of the kitchen and sit beside her. They watch the movie in silence as if in the theater. No matter how many times she watch the movie, it always makes her tear the last twenty minutes of it. She cry like a baby which makes Simon frustrated. He doesn't know what to do when girls cry. She move closer and cry on his arms. Soon he raise his arm and allow her to move near his body. He gently pat her as she blow her nose and talk gibberish. Whatever she said, he pat her gently and pass her the tissue papers. After the movie ended, they watch another. This time, they fell asleep while watching. The night moves on slowly till the moon is making way for the sun to raise. It is just then, Lisa wakes up. She look at her surrounding, thinking its her apartment, she walk to the bathroom and brush her teeth. 

"Good morning, Lisa." 

"Hmm, morning." 

She stop brushing and turn to her side to see Simon in the shower with a towel around his waist. She becomes a staute for awhile. He smile and walk out of the bathroom and close the door behind him. She look around the bathroom, it's not her bathroom. Lisa realised that she is in Simon's apartment. Slowly she start brushing her teeth and she remember that it's monday. She is going to be late for work. She hurry to brush her teeth and rush out. 

"Lisa!"

Simon chase after her to the supply room. She stop and look at him. Simon is half wearing his pants with no top on. His hair is still wet from the shower he took. 

"Lisa, later when you are done. Come here and i drive us to work." 

She stand there to think for awhile and slowly nod her head. She hurry to open the door to go upstairs. Before she close the door, she can see Simon is still standing there. 

When she is done, she goes downstair. He is sitting on the sofa reading his online newspapers. He smile again when she appear. Lisa did not know what to say but she gives a small smile. He hand over her mobile phone. She totally forgotten about her phone. She put it in her purse and walk to the door. Putting down her heels, she watch him sitting by the door to put on his socks and shoes. 

"I am going to be late for work."

"Don't worry, I will get us to work on time." 

In the car, she don't know what to do but stare outside the window. He look at her and turn on the radio when the car stops at red light.

"Did you enjoy the movie last night?"

"The lake house? Yeah actually i have watched that a few times but i still enjoy it."

"It's my first time watching it. It is rather interesting, the concept of the movie."

"It's a remake of a Korean movie! the Korean name is II Mare."

"So what does it means in Korean?"

"II Mare? Actually, II Mare is in Italian and it means 'The Sea'. While in Korean language it have a different writing or meaning. I can't recall what the name is but it is a beautiful love story. "

"Yes, only at the last part, they explain everything. So i believe at the right time, everyone will meet the correct person for their life." 

"You think so... that doesn't sound like a narcissist would say..."

"My mother believe i am one because i have alot of self confidence. I don't really care what other people say. I just dress what i think i would look good in." 

"Well why do you have only photos of yourself and not others?"

"Hmm i am not sure but i do have one photo with another person."

"Who?"

"You, our wedding photo. " 

He look at her and suddenly her face turn red. They remain silence. After a few traffic lights. she ask to drop a bus stop before their work place. 

"Why? I can drive us there."

"I just don't want people to talk." 

"Who would ..."

"Please. Hurry up! The app says the bus is arriving soon. Unlock the door, please."

Simon think about it and agree with her. He drop her off and watch her hop on the bus. He drive onto the carpark and waited at the lobby. She is walking in with a hot drink in her hand. Before he can go up to her, a few men come up and talk to her. Together they take the elevator up. He sigh and drag himself to the elevator.
