Not Just A Fake Girlfriend*

Cris was silent when Brix stopped his car at the parking lot of an apartment complex. She casually followed him when he walked towards the elevator doors.

"I have an apartment here which I bought unknown to my mom. I often stay here when I want some space…" he explained, curious about what Cris was thinking about him bringing her to his private apartment.

Cris remained silent. Once the elevator doors opened, Brix walked out and she followed. He stopped by the door and turned to her.

"Aren't you scared?" he asked.

Cris just shook her head and replied, "Just open the door. I don't back down from my words. I already told you that I will stay with you…"

Brix was surprised by her confidence. She looked really calm. He opened the door and let her into his comfort zone. He has never brought anyone here except for Cris.
