Her mind on someone else

"So what came out of that stalker neighbor of yours?" Stacy asked, filing her nails.

Viola stayed silent, her mind on something else as she kept eyeing the note he left for her, tucked away in her purse. It was her fault for instigating it, asking for reciprocations. Now he went and gave her the whole schedule to see him, and all without ever exchanging a word in person!

Not to mention who he is, a single father! He has about two daughters living in home, and with a girlfriend of his own as well. That reminded her of the end of that note, Lauren thinks you're beautiful too. How could she, they never even met before as far as she recalled. Unless...

"Viola?"

Unless...

My life is such an anime right now. I shouldn't be chasing guys like him, I shouldn't be looking at guys in general. I told mother I wasn't looking and I meant it then, so what is it about him that is cute and sweet? Ba- i mean, what is it about him I find attractive?

He's a dad with the body to prove it. He raises two girls that are way too close to my age for us to even be thinking about hooking up. Those nice looking tattoos on him as well, I like the one with the greek looking model girl pose thing. But he wears A-shirts and sandals, who does that? He's like around my mother's age, heck he can be my dad's age for all I know. Blegh!

So why do I find myself writing back when I should shut this down instead?

"Viola!"

She jumped on her seat, startled. "Wha- what!?"

"Geez, and here I thought no one was home. Where is your head at, V?" She clicked her tongue, placing the filer back in her purse. "So, lunch is in five. You want to grab something at Subway?"

"Around the corner, sure. Just, wait for me at the lobby I'll catch up in a bit."

"Don't make me late." She cooed back before walking off. Viola sighed and reached for the note once more. Lauren thinks you're beautiful too, and he wrote in a winky face how cute. Lauren thinks you're beautiful... Lauren thinks you're...

Unless he shared about this in a phone call with her or they met out somewhere, how could Lauren know about her?

Just recalling the one time she saw Lauren, was it possibly she saw her as well? Thinking back, her eyes were glued to Robin, of course since he was on top of her. What was it she said back then to him?

...know she's fucking cute...

...know you like redheads...

Tell me you want to fuck her.

She gasped, dropping her purse. No way!
