ALEX'S POV
After meeting jessica that day i've unexpectedly felt genuinely happy i couldn't even for a moment stop thinking about her. She actually made me happy that day we talked,laughed and i got to know one or two things about her.
She's a really nice person and have been hoping to see her again.
Then i finally saw her at the same mall,she seemed really distracted about something she stared blankly at the mall as if contemplating if to enter or not. She stood not moving or doing anything.
I walked over to greet her and she immediately jumped shocked.i apologized for scaring her.
"Good morning, i greeted, I saw you spacing out and decided to call you"
She nodded still holding her chest from the shock.
"Oh...thanks"
"So are you ... getting in or....??"
"Y-yeah am just thinking"
"Oh....okay see you around "
Few minutes after buying from the mall,I came outside and saw her still standing there but her position had changed she was looking at the road then backing the mall.
"So....are you waiting for someone? " I asked trying to get her attention.
"Uhmm....not really" she repiled.
"Where do you actually live?,You said you're in this neighborhood but i haven't seen you around "
She asked me.
"Oh.....right "
"Do you want me to show you?"
"Yeah,no problem "
I feel relieved that i got to see her but she still seems pretty distracted, and am not sure if am that close to her for me to ask her. Am really worried so let me just try.
"Ehmm...jessica,right? " I asked,that was so awkward i made it seem like have forgotten her name.
She nodded in reply atleast she answered me.
"You seen pretty distracted is something wrong? "
She continued walking for some time before she answered.
"No....not really "
I hope she's actually okay.
"We're here" I said then looked at her to see a face with shock.

My thoughts were interrupted when she asked.
"Is this really your house?" she said looking shocked.
I originally wanted to say no 'cause i didn't know why her reaction was like that.
"Yeah,it is"I replied feeling slightly proud at that moment.
"Oh my God" She said with a faint smile.
"Is not actually my house though, my relatives were living here but they travelled out,so me and my family are staying "
"What's wrong? "I asked after she didn't say anything and we just stood there.
"Nothing, am actually your neighbour"
"Really? " I was definitely not expecting that so that's why she looked at the house like that.
"Woah....that's good,i hope to see each more often"
"Yeah"
