Damn, I didn't know moving is a hard thing to do.

My hands are already trembling because of the heaviness of the boxes that I lifted from my car, and still lifting. I'm not whining, I'm saying the truth! It also added when my apartment is on the 16th floor so I don't have any choice to go up and down to get my things on the parking lot and lift it to my apartment. I just sighed on those thoughts.

While I'm on the elevator going to the parking lot, I dial Inigo's number and a few minutes later he answered it. Inigo is my friend and he is supposed to be here along with his brother Indigo. They are twins, and we have been friends since college. I'm starting to rethink that thought.

"Hey! Where the damn are you and Indigo?! Dude, you and your brother owe me a big one!" I can't help it to be irritated.

Sometimes I'm their company's corporate lawyer. I didn't rub it in their faces but seriously I already helped them even though I was busy with my job as a public servant to the people who are in need, I still damn help them!

They owned a commercial bank and being a top bank of the country is not a very good thing to hear. Because the rivals are very interested in its downfall so yeah, I helped them to save their ass but I didn't rub it on their faces, just this asshle doesn't know how to keep a word.

The line was a little bit noisy. ["So sorry dude, I'm at my meeting that's why I can't come but Indigo left five minutes ago, wait a little longer he will be there."] he said that made me relaxed a little bit. [ "I'll also be there for a house blessing--oh I mean apartment blessing."]

"Don't mind coming. If I know you just be here for the foods that I'll prepare. Fck you dude." I shook my head teasingly in such thoughts.

In the three of us, Inigo is greedy when it comes to food and also the lazy one when it comes to carrying things whether it's only light or not. Poor his brother, I bet Indigo hasn't had any idea that his brother tricked him again, and I'll also bet that Indigo knew that his brother will be here but not at a damn meeting.

I ended the call once I reached the parking lot. I opened the back of my car and lifted the one last box that I needed to carry. Those boxes that I carried are not my furniture, half of them are some papers from my job as a lawyer. I'm on week leave starting today because of moving to my apartment.

There's nothing actually wrong with my parents house but I want to be alone for once. I don't need my mother snooping around on my closet just to know if there was dirty clothes that I forgot to shoots on the laundry shoot, I don't like my father asking me always to get a serious relationship, I don't like my sister leaving her girly things on my bathroom when her bathroom is under reconstruction for the 7th times and I don't like Yellie our family dog doing her fcking 'stuff' on my bed everytime I wake up!

I'm 30 years old, Atty. Mikhail Joseph Rhingers is my full name but everyone who knows me calls me Attorney Hail, I didn't have any idea how they got me a nickname but it's okay though, as long as they are comfortable with that, I'm fine with that.

I wanted people around me treating me like a friendly and not that hard to approach me. Even if my face is not that friendly looking at all, so I hated my face because of that but I'm trying to smile often to make those negative thoughts of a person who I'm having conversation with don't feel uneasy towards me.

After I'm done carrying stuff to my apartment, I immediately start cleaning for tomorrow, because there will be a truck coming that has my big furniture on it. My apartment now only has boxes and a table in the center of the living room with three chairs.

My apartment is not that big, there's just one room and one bathroom, at the side of the door there's my small kitchen and a few steps is my living room then there's a balcony in the end of the hallway. I just sighed and continued my work, where is he? I thought he would be here just like what Inigi said.

Damn, maybe he will stopover again with a woman. Those jerk friends of mine.

I was startled when I heard knocking from my door. Ugh, finally. I put down the things that I'm holding and walked towards the door and didn't mind looking at the peephole to see who it was because I know it's Indigo.

"It's about fcking time, that you are he---" I stopped when it landed on a woman standing in front of me.

She awkwardly smiles at me. "So you are waiting for me?" she chuckled that made me blushed. "Hi there neighbor!" she lightly said.

"Ummm hi." I said.

Shit, where's my grip?! Why am I stuttering all of the sudden? This woman in front of me is lighting up my mood that I can't see myself from moving or what will I do next!

I think she suspected my awkwardness looking at her. That's why she smiled widely and looked behind me. That caused me to close the door half way. It's embarrassing for a woman to see this kind of mess from a man.

It would be an awful and long lasting first impression, this woman may see me as a dirty man. Should I offer her a drink or something? Geez, I'm new to this kinda thing! If only mom was here, she would know what to do! Is it late to call her now?

"I saw you earlier and I thought you needed some help, oh right.'' She said and laid her hand in front of me as if it wanted to be shaken. That made me look at it. "I'm Jessica Manibella but you can call me Jesca." she said with a sweet voice in her tone.

Jesca? That's so soothing to hear. Geez, what's happening to me?! It's so embarrassing for Jesca to see me like this. Damn can she go back tomorrow when I'm not this dirty and a little smelly?

But it's more embarrassing to send her away. She looks friendly with her boyish clothes. She's in jeans and a big white t-shirt that is almost a dress to her but she still looks cute though with her blue ocean eyes. I find her amusing and not attractive like a crush or whatever.

I smile tenderly at her and grab her hand then shake it. "I'm Mikhail Joseph, you can call me Atty. Hail, your new neighbor."

Her eyes widened in shock at the same time we let go of one's hand. "You're an attorney? That's amazing. Fascinating that there's an attorney on this floor. Oh, my apartment is beside yours on the left side." she said and pointed it to the door. "So if you need anything just knock on it."

That made me smile.

Wow, this is good. I have a friendly neighbor already! She looks young with pale white skin, she's jolly as she looks at her and crazy how she didn't get starstruck as she saw me. Not to brag but when a woman saw me they got shocked even though I'm miles away from her. Did she also get shocked when she saw me, earlier like what she said? Thinking it makes me bit my lip secretly, to prevent me from grinning.

She looked at me again and handed me a container. I was just curiously looking at it, that's why I looked at her again. She's looking at me like she wants me to grab it, so I did.

"I baked earlier a casserole. Hope you don't mind but the owner of the apartment told me yesterday that you'll be here today occupying that room, so I baked it as a welcome gift from the rest of your neighbor in the floor." she step closer and put her hand in the side of the left side of her lips. "And oh the owner wants you to know that you're in good hands that's why he made me do it." she whispered. She step backwards and chuckled.

"Ah, ha.ha.ha." I awkwardly laugh, while I'm caressing my name to ease my embarrassment right now.

"So you need some help?" She starts again. One thing that I noticed, she likes to have 'so' on her statements.

I hurriedly shook my head. "No, thank you. Thanks for the casserole, I'll tell the owner that you did what he wanted you to do." and we start laughing but still an awkward laugh on my tone.

This is seriously amazing. I can't believe that this first day turned out to be great. I thought that my neighbors don't give a damn about me but this woman does and I'm glad about it. I'm glad that my neighbor is friendly.

She hurriedly also shook her head after I asked her if I should return the container. "No, keep it. I'll get going now before I interrupt something important. Bye Attorney, see you when I see you." she said and she also saluted after that made me chuckle.

"Hey, I'm an attorney and not a policeman." I teasingly said that made her giggle.

I watched her from going back to her apartment, she took me a glance for a last time that made me waved and she did also. After she went inside, I could not help but to smile while opening the container. It smelled so good.
