Alice was stunned at Andy's response. She hadn't spoken to him much but she always thought of him as a fairly nice guy. However a 'Fuck No' was clearly not needed. Then again she had been rude first. Before she could apologize for pointing out the poor condition of her neighbors balcony he had already given her the green light to clean. 'Fuck No' to 'yes go ahead and clean it'.Ergh. She did not understand what the answer was. When asked a question a person is supposed to say 'yes' or 'no'. They are not supposed to say both. A soft growl of confusion slide past her teeth when she felt a set of eyes on her.
He looked at her. It might have been for a fleeting second but Alice felt her heart speed up, and without even checking, she knew her palms were starting to sweat. Her hands flew up to her hood and she nervously pulled at the sides of the dull fabric. For a moment Alice was distracted by the scent of fabric softener tat still clung to the cotton, by the time she looked back up Cat was at Andys door. With a quick motion Cat disappeared inside the apartment. That's odd. Andy doesn't normally let people into his home. Oh. My. God. He went in uninvited. Andy the recluse, occasionally mean, guy was not going to like people just entering his apartment. Then the thought hit her. Cat had easily slipped into Andys home seemingly unnoticed. Her eyes drifted back to her door which was left particularly open. What if someone had snuck into her home just as easily.
She gulped. Her face whipped away from the door as she tried to focus the thought out of her mind. It was pointless, the more she stood there with the door agape, the more she thought of people sneaking into her home. The one place she was supposed to be safe. Her feet glide across the porch as she flew to the door and slammed it shut. Her brown eyes slide back over to Cat as he made his was up the side of the building, and on to the roof.
Cat was going to meet up with the other guy, she had heard them say something about lunch. Alice's small hand tightened around the handle of the door as she pressed her head against the glass. She shouldn't have feelings for a home invader-possible murderer-ex gang member but its not like she could help it. With another sigh she pulled the door open and returned to the ,possible,safety of her room. The cool air rushed over her granting her welcome relief for the almost sweltering heat.
But there was no time to relish in the air conditioner. Alice locked her door and then scoured the apartment for any possible intrusions. The hunted was fruitless and ended rather quickly, given the lack of possible hiding places in her apartment. She let herself flop against her futon when all was done.
"What's wrong with me?" She said aloud to herself before rolling over to face her closet of colorful wigs. She was attracted to a guy who just walks into peoples house. I mean who does that? On top of that she was rude to her neighbor and she found out her neighbor was rude along with confusing. Was she allowed to clean the balcony or not? She let out a soft scream of confusion before standing back up. She couldn't help it. A travesty like that balcony go uncorrected? No.
