On a week end Simon gets up as usual at five in the morning. He starts to read the news online and listen to news on TV as well. He takes some vitamins and later begin to do some light exercise. At six thirty he stop exercising and eat his breakfast while watching a movie. He takes a nice long bath and change in loose tee shirt and lounge pants. While bathing, he realised that the service apartment cleaners did not put in another roll of toilet paper. Hence he goes into the supply room to look for it. There is none. This is not right, he thinks. Simon look for his mobile phone and open up the chat room.
"I am going upstairs to your apartment and take some toilet papers."
Finally thee first chat message is sent. She read and take a long time to reply.
"Ok"
He sigh and open the door in the supply room and walk up the stairs. The lights are built automatic when someone is within the space, so they don't need to search for the switch. He open the door upstairs which is also the supply room. He look for it and find the fresh new supplies. He is about to take three rolls when he look at the door that is leading to the main apartment. He is curios who does her apartment looks like. Simon turn the door knob slowly and open the door. Upstairs the structure and the furnitures are all the same except that she have chosen black sofas instead of white. Black fridge instead of white. He open the fridge to find an almost empty clean fridge. Except for some bottle water and teas in it. Even the freezer doesn't have anything except for a few ice cream sticks. He open up the cabinet to find potato chips all stack up nicely and neatly. The other cabinets are stack with biscuits of all sorts. Basically her kitchen is clean and neat since no cooking is done.Even the rubbish bin looks lonely. Simon look at the door way, her shoes are all thrown everywhere. So he pick up her shoes and arrange them neatly. After that he wonder around the other rooms. Her wardrobe is fill with clothes for woman of her age will wear. She only have two handbags on the shelves. Lots of skirts and no pants. Three long coats of the same design but different colors. A wall full of caps of all sort of design and colors. A few box of shoes that are new. Simon keep snooping and he did not notice that Lisa is standing at the doorway look at him picking out a few of her dresses and placing them on his body.
"I am pretty sure you can't wear them. If you can i think i need to check how high this floor is."
Simon turn around to see her standing there. Lisa walk in and remove her cap and hang it on the wall. After that she remove the rubber band and put it into a cup that is holding all her hair ties.
"Where have you been so early in the morning?"
"For a run around the neighbourhood."
He watch her unzip her hoody and remove it. She throw it into the laundry basket. She still have her crop top on and he see her abs are well tone. She about to remove her pants when she realise that she shouldn't do that in front of him. She pull her pants all the way back up and cross her arms because he is openly staring at her. .
"Got your toilet papers? You can go downstairs now."
"Hmm."
"If you like that dress... i lend it to you. Just return it without stretching it too much."
She say it without looking at him and walk out. Simon hang back the dress and follow her out. She open her fridge to get her cold water to drink. She turn around to see Simon standing in her hall. Today, his hair is not gel back, it's thick and loose. His fringe is covering hall of his face. His tee shirt is snuggling tightly on his muscular body. While he is wearing a lounging pants that not so tight. His orange home slippers are outstanding on his grey outfit.
"Are you hungry?"
"Maybe... "
"I am about to cook breakfast. I can make more and share with you."
"You cook?"
"Hmm. Cook."
Even thought he have taken breakfast, he feels that he should lie and cook for her.
"You can take your bath. I will go downstairs and cook. When you are done just come down and we can eat."
Lisa look at him and wonder why suddenly he wants to invite her down. She nod her head and smile. He smile broadly and say 'see you later' He walks towards the supply room and she hears the door close inside. Lisa is sure that he won't come upstairs without permission. Thus she remove her clothes and shower as usual.
When she is done. She walk to the supply room. She stare at the door knob with a deep sigh she touch it and turn it. She walk downstairs and open the door. She is in the same supply room like her own. She open the other door the smell of cook food assault her nose. Her tummy rumbles for food. As she walks nearer, she swallow her saliva hard. She see Simon in his apron cooking and his back facing her. After Simon turn around to plate the food, he look up and he smile. Lisa for the first time see him smile broadly with a spatula in his hand. The first thing that comes in her mind is that he looks like a nice packaging that can be approve.
