"Thank you" she said with her angelic voice.

My pleasure " I said smiling.

She instantly inserted her iphone cord and the phone started charging.

Is your house still far from here? I asked.
I make sure to bring my voice down, so the person next to me won't have ideas what I was discussing with her.

Yes, still far! she answered.

Ohhhh, but I was getting close to my house, I said.

I was even trying to reach my sister who I stay with, I don't know if she was around, she said.

What if she wasn't around? where will you pass the night? I asked.

No idea, but I will plead with her neighbor, she said.

But, I stay alone, if you don't mind... I suggested.

That's a good idea, she said.

But, if you get through to your sister and she was around, you can proceed, I said.

Okay... thanks, she appreciated.

I noticed she wasn't comfortable with her clothes, so I walk to my bag and offer her to wear one of my baggy clothes.

She sounds happy.

I wanted going out since it's one room apartment, so she could feel free to change her clothe.

She stop me.

As if she knows my mind.
She told me to wait in the room, and not stay in the cold just because she wanted to change her wears.

I sat on my bed, facing the wall. I was just pretending not to have fallen for her, since she was a stranger.
