[ONGOING] NOT JUST PENELOPE

11: Ground Rules & Interview

PENELOPE

It's almost 1pm. Does that cafeteria boy know where my house is? 

Cafeteria boy. 

OH LORD! I don't even know what his name is!

I stood up from the bath tub, grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me. I just have to call him. Wait, I don't have his number!

HOW STUPID, PENELOPE.

I walked towards the door and when I opened it, I silently wished I could kill someone.

"WHAT THE FCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I yelled.

It took him a few seconds to realize that he has to turn around and close his eyes. 

GOODNESS! I JUST GOT OUT FROM THE TUB SO I HAVE NOTHING ELSE IN MY BODY BUT A SHITTY TOWEL!

"I'm sorry. I didn't know." He explained.

Shit! This is just so embarrassing! 

"GET OUT OF MY FCKING ROOM. NOW!"

He ran outside and I hurriedly closed the door.

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?! 

No one has ever entered my room. Not even my best friends for goodness sake! 

And now, just seconds ago, A MAN WAS INSIDE HERE! 

AND HE EVEN SAW ME ALMOST NAKED? WTF!

I walked towards my walk-in closet, grabbed a pastel-colored off shoulders for my upper and a black mini shorts. I did some simple make up. I dried my hair up and tied in into a ponytail.

Then I went out to find to look for that stranger. But when I opened my door, I saw him sitting on the floor just across my room. 

So he really waited. I thought he left.

"Let's go?" I asked him like nothing happened. 

I want to forget everything that happened just minutes ago. 

Why is it that every time I am in an embarrassing situation, it always involves him?

He looked confused and gulped, "Go where?"

"2nd floor. Movie Room." I answered and walked towards the elevator.

 I heard his footsteps following behind me.

We entered the elevator and I pressed 2. I looked at him and he seemed amazed.

The elevator doors opened and we walked towards the 2nd floor. "Hey, why do you have an elevator here?" He asked while walking.

So that's why he seemed so amazed. Maybe he never been into a house with an elevator. 

"My grandma from Canada visits us here. She'd literally die if she'll use the staircase." He nodded.

We entered the movie room and I checked his reaction. And I was right, he really looked stunned.

I sat on a chair and he seated beside me.

"Uhm... So let's start?" He asked while he's getting a notebook from his bag.

"Sure." I answered. "But, we have to set ground rules first."

"GROUND RULES?" he looked at me, comfused. "What for?"

"Write down everything I say." I didn't mind answering him. "ONE. MY. ROOM. IS. RESTICTED." I emphasized each word clearly.

His ears turned red, "I don't even want to enter that again."

"Well, you should really not dare!" I glared at him.
