9 UNKNOWN OCCURRENCES: BOTH UNAWARE (1/2)

As Alex was returning from brunch, Zunnie was getting ready to head over to her family's house for dinner. She took the stairs down to the parking lot since it was close to where she parked her car.

The moment she reached her car, the elevator to the third floor of her building opened. A fine-looking man in a black sweat pants and a mustard long sleeved top walked out and headed to the apartment door down the hall.

He had never once wondered who his neighbor was but for some reason the hallway had a faint scent of the girl he saw at Hunter's club. Thinking he was being weird, Alex shook the small ray hope that was trying to build in his heart away.

There was something about this girl and he couldn't figure out what it was. He wanted to see her one more time, maybe even own her. Perhaps if he saw her again he would understand his curiosity. It couldn't be love at first sight because he was not the type to fall in love so easily.

Since when had he become domineering…a sadist? Wanting to own someone's daughter he saw only once.

Alex entered his apartment changed his shoes and walked to the glass window facing the small lake outside. The sun was setting and looked amazingly beautiful…so he opened the sliding door and stepped onto the balcony to admire the scenery.

At the same time, Zunnie who was driving towards her dad's house, rolled down her car window to admire the sunset. She inhaled the late afternoon breeze and stepped on the gas. The road was empty on this lovely Sunday afternoon. She couldn't help being naughty and stepped on the gas some more to go slightly over the speed limit.

Within fifteen minutes she arrived at the Bai Manor.

”Pumpkin!” Her dad welcomed her with his usual bear hug.

”Daddy it's good to see you. It's like you haven't aged one bit.” She eyed him up and down.

”My, my, can't say the same for you. How old are you again?” Wan Bai playfully chuckled and pulled his daughter along to the siting area.

”Way to tease your only daughter…Mr. Bai be careful what you say, or you'll die without any grand-kids.”

”Oh, don't worry Eyan is still around. His girlfriend is an attractive and educated young lady. She's a pediatrician, and your brother is very fond of her.” He replied and turned to wink shamelessly, stunning his daughter.

”If that is how you feel, then stop trying to marry me off. I am going to stay single till I die.” Playing along well, Zunnie kept a serious face to show her dad she meant what she just said.

”Okay…Okay…Okay, I will stop interfering. But at least try to find a boyfriend pumpkin. You need a good companion to bring you happiness.”

”Fine, I get it,” she agreed, just to stop her dad from nagging her more.

Eyan Bai brought his girlfriend to dinner so Zunnie would meet her. Selina Gunno was very intelligent. Her dad was right, she was attractive. Zunnie liked her and what she did. So, before she left Selina invited Zunnie to stop by her office to chat with some of her patients whenever she had time.

Driving back home, Zunnie couldn't help but be happy for her older brother. She could tell he really loved his girlfriend. The thought of having a little niece or nephew made her smile. She loved children and even planned to have two of her own if she ever found the one.
