As Alex was returning from brunch, Zunnie was getting ready to head over to her family's house for dinner. She took the stairs down to the parking lot since it was close to where she parked her car.
The moment she reached her car, the elevator to the third floor of her building opened. A fine-looking man in a black sweat pants and a mustard long sleeved top walked out and headed to the apartment door down the hall.
He had never once wondered who his neighbor was but for some reason the hallway had a faint scent of the girl he saw at Hunter's club. Thinking he was being weird, Alex shook the small ray hope that was trying to build in his heart away.
There was something about this girl and he couldn't figure out what it was. He wanted to see her one more time, maybe even own her. Perhaps if he saw her again he would understand his curiosity. It couldn't be love at first sight because he was not the type to fall in love so easily.
Since when had he become domineering…a sadist? Wanting to own someone's daughter he saw only once.
Alex entered his apartment changed his shoes and walked to the glass window facing the small lake outside. The sun was setting and looked amazingly beautiful…so he opened the sliding door and stepped onto the balcony to admire the scenery.
At the same time, Zunnie who was driving towards her dad's house, rolled down her car window to admire the sunset. She inhaled the late afternoon breeze and stepped on the gas. The road was empty on this lovely Sunday afternoon. She couldn't help being naughty and stepped on the gas some more to go slightly over the speed limit.
Within fifteen minutes she arrived at the Bai Manor.
"Pumpkin!" Her dad welcomed her with his usual bear hug.
"Daddy it's good to see you. It's like you haven't aged one bit." She eyed him up and down.
"My, my, can't say the same for you. How old are you again?" Wan Bai playfully chuckled and pulled his daughter along to the siting area.
"Way to tease your only daughter…Mr. Bai be careful what you say, or you'll die without any grand-kids."
"Oh, don't worry Eyan is still around. His girlfriend is an attractive and educated young lady. She's a pediatrician, and your brother is very fond of her." He replied and turned to wink shamelessly, stunning his daughter.
"If that is how you feel, then stop trying to marry me off. I am going to stay single till I die." Playing along well, Zunnie kept a serious face to show her dad she meant what she just said.
"Okay…Okay…Okay, I will stop interfering. But at least try to find a boyfriend pumpkin. You need a good companion to bring you happiness."
"Fine, I get it," she agreed, just to stop her dad from nagging her more.
Eyan Bai brought his girlfriend to dinner so Zunnie would meet her. Selina Gunno was very intelligent. Her dad was right, she was attractive. Zunnie liked her and what she did. So, before she left Selina invited Zunnie to stop by her office to chat with some of her patients whenever she had time.
Driving back home, Zunnie couldn't help but be happy for her older brother. She could tell he really loved his girlfriend. The thought of having a little niece or nephew made her smile. She loved children and even planned to have two of her own if she ever found the one.
However, would she ever find someone to look at her the way her brother looked at his girlfriend?
She admitted she felt a little envious at how affectionate they were throughout dinner. She even caught her dad starring at her once.
'This old man.' She had thought and stuck her tongue out at him.
Her family was the most important people in her life and even if her mom was not alive they continued to take care of each other.
The drive back home was just as smooth at the ride to the manor. Zunnie arrived home at eight in the evening but didn't go upstairs.
It was a starry night; so she couldn't help but walk towards one of the benches in the park to enjoy the view. She sat down took her phone and captured the magnificent dark sky above. To get a better look, Zunnie stretched out on the bench for thirty minutes before the breeze got chillier. Feeling a little cold, she picked up her things and headed up the stairs.
Alex walked out of the bathroom with a robe on and went to his bedroom balcony. When he got to there he saw a familiar silhouette walking away from one of the benches in the small park.
'It's her...it's really her!'
Although he couldn't see the person's face, he knew the person outside was the same girl her saw the night before. He quickly threw some clothes on and rushed out to the elevator...pushed the down button and waited. Seeing it was taking too long, he ran past Zunnie's condo and headed to the stair case, through the parking lot and to the bench had seen her.
He was too late, she was already gone.
"Was I hallucinating?" An out of breath Alex mumbled turning around to see what direct the person might have gone.
To his dismay she was nowhere to be seen.
Little did he know, when he got downstairs, the silhouette he saw from his bedroom balcony was now walking out of the elevator. She walked down the same hallway, to same door, he just ran past.
Zunnie walked into her apartment and headed to her study to review the patient's treatment plans she would be needing the next day. She had no idea that a handsome hunky ran three flights of stairs to bump into her.
Alex was bummed when he missed the person he had seen. He took the elevator to the third floor and walked back to the balcony. He sat there for an hour trying to read, hoping he would see the girl walk by. But she never did.
Both were unaware of what was happening.
Zunnie had no idea who her neighbor was.
Alex had no idea that the person he was curious about was living on the same floor as him.
