Previously..
the silence was a good kind.

It was 8 by the time we finished eating.

Well at least for me.

He had received a call during our meal.

"I'll be back" he said as he took the call.

I nodded, and I didn't feel like finishing my food so I pushed it aside and took a sip of water.

The bill came and after his call he paid then we left the building.

"Charlotte, work just called and I have to be there" Eleazar says.

I have to be back in that house... I think I paled.

"Charlotte if you don't like to be alone you can come with me" he said.

"Yes." I said and we made it to his work place.

The place was really tall.

Like a skyscraper.

I admired the entrance it had like a waterfall and one of those big electronic boxes that advertises.

The automatic doors slid open.

"Can you wait here?" he asks.

"Okay" I said and I sat in the lobby.

Eleazar had taken the elevator and was accompanied by another person.

I took a seat next to the aquarium.

"Miss are you waiting for someone?" the front desk lady asks.

"Yes" I replied.

The building was pretty busy even though it was like pass office hours.

"Would you like a drink?" the lady asks getting out from behind the desk.

"No thank you" I smiled at her.

"Alright" she said.

"Can you talk with me?" I asked her.

"Oh of course" the lady said and had taken a seat across from me.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"I'm Charlotte, What's yours?" I said.

"I am Stephanie" she said.

"It would be rude of me to call you by your first name" I said. "Then you may just call me Ms. Rose"

"Okay Ms. Rose" I said getting comfortable with her.

Eleazar has been gone for like a solid 30 minutes.

"What do you like to do?" Ms. Rose asked.

"I like to read and listen to music" I replied.

"Ah, that's good. Kids these days like to play video games" Ms. Rose remarks.

"Well I' never grew up playing video games it's always like board games" I explained.

"Your parents must be happy to know you aren't addicted to the internet" Ms. Rose jokingly said.

I slightly laughed.

But I was sad because I wasn't back at home with my Father.

"So what brings you here?" Ms. Rose continued.

"Well I came here because I don't like being home alone" I responded.

"Your father must be a very busy man" She says.
