We both look at each other with our jaws drop. 

The last time I saw him when I left my apartment. 


"Thanks for saving me, Dexter." 


"Are you an idiot?!" Dexter yell at me. "you could have been killed. What were you thinking?"


I never saw Dexter this angry before. He holds his temper when pushing his glasses to the bridge of his nose. He's shouting and scolding at the same time. 


"Sorry..." all I can say. 


He look at me and smiles, "you shouldn't be walking like a zombie like that you could get hurt. I'm walking you home." 


Dexter offer me to walk me home. 


What universe am I living in? 


"Dexter, that's quite alright. you probablyy busy and-"


"I'm going to worried about you all day. I'm walking you home." 


Even thought Dexter was once my landlorder, he was always stubborn. 


We walk side by side. We stay silent not wanting to make the first go to speak. 

It's bit awkward. He was once my landlord and I was once his rentors. 


"How's your apartment?" He ask. 


"I have to wait until January." 


"I'm sorry to hear that." 


"At least, I have a good friend to let stay me at her place for almost a month." 


"......."


"Anyway, how are you doing?" 


"I'm okay still terrotizing rentors." 


Is that suppose to be a joke? 


Dexter coughs and said, "What are you doing for Christmas?" 


"I'm locking myself in the apartment and not coming out until January." 


Dexter had shock expression, "Are you okay?" 


"yeah, just things I didn't expect."


"like what?" he said. 


How can I tell him this? 


"Well.....it's complicated situation." I said.
