Fell In Love With The Bad Girl
Chapter 9
"Ladies of these days have no shame, I know I swear not to judge her wrongly but then this attitude of hers is not good at all. She should at least cover up and behave decently at all times whether at home or not,"
Naomi soliloquized in Kristen's absence.
The couch felt so hot for her because to her, being there was kind of associating with the lady Kristen is.
Nothing is holding her from leaving the house, she chooses to be rooted there and in her mind, condemning the poor girl.
Kristen, if gets to know what is running through her neighbor's mind, would not bother because people's opinions don't matter to her anymore.
She is living her life for herself, not for anyone and it entirely gives her peace of mind to know that people talk about her behind her back and when she gets to hear, she pretends as if she doesn't hear.
Not everyone can do this but she does it effortlessly and that makes her a queen of her own world.
Kristen returned with a flat breakable plate and cutleries, she is damn funny. When she was picking the cutleries, she had told herself she has no time to start going on an errand for a neighbor who obviously doesn't like her because of how she feels about her.
"Here is a plate and cutleries, suit yourself"
Noami stared at Kristen and after a while stood up,
"You know what, I changed my mind. Since you are not eating with me. I better go home and eat, thanks for having me here."
Kristen rolled her eyes and hissed silently,
What's the essence of her coming here if she wasn't going to stay longer?
"You know your way out, please make use of the door"
Kristen said nonchalantly and lay on the couch after dropping the plate and the cutleries on her center table.
Noami was astonished by Kristen's change of attitude.
She felt like beating Kristen's senses back to her head.
Noami loosed her stiff shoulders, picked up her basket, and with a last glance at Kristen, she found her way out of the weird apartment.
Kristen flicked her eyes open and turned on her belly, not minding that the main door is not locked, she went to sleep with nothing on her mind.
*******
Frederick picked up his phone and keys then headed out of his apartment with a bored look on his face, he locked up his apartment.
He has been bored since morning, a boring Saturday morning has never been his idea Saturday morning.
He could hang out with the boys but then something changed about him since last night, he would rather be with someone else than anyone else. She has occupied his mind for the rest of the morning and he has been restless since.
The only meaningful thing he ever did was to prepare breakfast for himself.
With a deep sigh and grimace on his face, he pulled his Black Royce to life and left his driveway.
He had saved Kristen's digits and through Google Maps and GPS, he had gotten his location and was surprised to find her living at such a location but then she is a strange girl who could only be associated with strangeness.
Standing at the front of the small apartment, he scanned around and found a lady in a black dress disdainfully staring at him. She had this look of disgust and he wondered what would make her stare at him like that.
"What's her problem, did she wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?"
Frederick wondered and shook off the thought of his head. He should not be bothered by a mere look from a total stranger. He is here to see someone not to be bothered by whoever the lady is.
He brought his hand up and knocked at the door, expecting the door to open any moment. The GPS connection has stated that Kristen is at home so she should open the door ASAP.
"Hello"
Frederick turned and saw the lady who nearly murdered him with her eyes, dotting from him to the door.
"Hi"
He greeted her politely with a smile on his face, the least he could do for her is to be polite.
"Are you a friend to the lady who owns this apartment?"
She asked in an accusing manner. The way she said the lady sounded like it was a plague for her to mention her.
"I asked because if you are then you are in for doom. Since I have known her, she has no one visiting her and she behaves so shamelessly"
She paused and watched the young handsome man standing in her front to know if what she is saying is sinking into him then continued,
"If you see what she wears, my dear, you will flee from her because she is the real definition of temptation."
"Is she nuts in her head or what, why will she be spitting nonsense about someone? Who gives her the right to judge a fellow girl"
Frederick fumes in his mind. He is trying everything possible to restrain himself from slapping the lady who seems to have no regard for humanity.
"I am telling you all this because I can't watch a fine man like you go astray. We have decent girls in town whom you can be friends with, not a loose girl like Kristen. I am…"
"Hold on, ma'am. I am not interested in who you are"
Frederick had her cut short of introducing who she is, his control was snapping and if care is not taken, he might end up doing what he would regret later.
"Have you taken a good look at yourself, why say ill of someone? Do you realize that people like you should not live among us? This girl in question is your neighbor, if you feel she is doing the wrong way, why don't you call her and tell her to her face instead of tarnishing her image like this"
