Letting out a sight, Nami placed the plate in the warm soapy water before grabbing the sponge and began washing the plate that once house a small portion of lasagne. Blowing a small piece of hair out of her view, she took the plate out and placed it on the drying rack on her right. Next was the cup but she stopped, looking into the soapy water, thinking how bad, no how horrible her day had gone.
It all started...
Her alarm decided it didnt want to work, it some how had magically turned itself off during the night so it made her an hour later to work, lucky for her no one really noticed or they were being nice. Her idiotic work mate Luffy had decided to spray her with ink by accident, he thought he was getting Zorro another friend at work so her cream top was now in the bin, unable to be saved. Nami's favourite work out trainers decided to break while she was out for a jog with her best friend Robin. The raven beauty undertsood it had not been a good day for her and offered her a movie night with ice cream but Nami shook her head, not letting the day het to her so she had bid a goodbye to Robin. Everything seemed fine on her walk home but then the heavens open and hammered it down, she had been completly soaked then on top of that she didnt have any move for the bus so it had been a long walk in the rain.
When she had finally reached home, she passed the neighbor without a glance and let out a sigh as she picked up her soaked mail before trodding inside her house.
Tossing the mail down, Name began to peel each piece of clothing before tossing them to the floor as she made her way to the shower.
Fresh change of clothes and a quick microwave meal of lasagne, she had sat down with the tv humming in the background with a soap opera that she didnt really watch nor did she care about. This had been the highligt of her day after everthing, after she had eaten, it was to the sink where she was currently at.
Rinising the cup, she placed it down on the rack, Nami could still here the rain and looked up.
"Huh?"
There was something on her window still, out of reach for the rain to get, grabbing the towel Nami wiped her hands dry before opening the window slowly and reaching her hand out of the window, taking hold of the box. She closed the window before looking at the box with so much curiosity in her eyes, that had not been there when she came back from work, looking back she could not see anyone out in the rain except her neighbor was sitting out on his porch under the protection of a gazebo and a book hand.
'He couldnt of'she thought looking at the box.
She and the neighbour had never even spoken to one another, a few times they would nod to one another if they passed by each other. She worked early hours while he worked late into the night, Nami had found out from her friend who had been over that her neighbor was a doctor, Chopper had mentioned his name but she had forgotten. Most of the time, they did not see each other so Nami didn't see the point in getting to know someone she would never see, Robin had agreed with her while Luffy said she should make friends, he would say that as he loved making friends with everyone.
Lifting the bow off the top, she pulled the lid off and put it to one side, taking a look inside the box she was surprised and confused. Placing her hand carefully, she pulled out a heart shaped origami piece, looking at she amazed by it. She knew a little of origami and knew the heart was one of few complicated pieces, Usopp her friend loved origami and was a pro but he couldnt even do the the heart nor the dragon.
A smile appeared on her face as she looked at it, everything that had gone wrong today just vanished and she felt so much happy, this was defiantly the best thing of her day beating the comfort of food off the table, by an unknown force she looked up and was caught in the stare of amber eyes.
Nami's neighbor was no longing looking at his book but right at her, she could not bring herself to look away.
Closing his book, he lifted his hand and gave a small wave with a watm smile, Nami felt her breath leave her lungs, she waved back before turning her back as she leant on the counter. She did not know what just happened with her just then however she could still feel his eyes on her, this made a small blush appear in her cheeks. Carefully, she took the heart with her and turned off the light in the kitchen before retiring to bed.
That morning she was greeted with the sunny sun, Nami had placed the heart into a small glass case and had it up by her window, walking into the kitchen to grab breakfast, she was greeted with a post it note stuck to her window. Pulling it off the window and closing the window, she turned it over to find very elegant writing.
'Keep smiling -L'
She looked up to her neighbours house and couldnt help but smile, placing the note close to her heart before stuffing the note into her bag.
This would be the start of a great day, Nami knew it.
