Fifty-seventh Chapter

I paid the cab fare, returned the driver's smile, before walking into my apartment building. After spending no less than an hour in the bathtub, I felt completely relaxed and at ease. Placing myself in a big white robe, courtesy of MansionView hotel, I sat on the bed, ate my fried chicken and watched a reality tv show. After all that, I had a long, refreshing nap. When I woke up, it was already noon so I decided to return to my shabby little apartment.

“Hey Raya." I turned around when I heard a familiar voice call out to me in the hallway.

My eyes widened when I recognized who it was. “Lucas!" I exclaimed, quickening my steps in his direction. He also made his way towards me.

In minutes we were standing in each other's arms. Lucas was the son of an old lady who lived a few doors away from mine. He always visited her once a month and I used to have a very huge crush on him. He hadn't visited in the last six or seven months so my crush ended up fading away.
