Home Alone

As soon as he pulled up on my drive way, I exited the car and ran for the door. I hurried to my room and locked the door, resting against it like always. What a day!

I wasn't sure if something was in the air or not, but something was definitely up. I fell into my regular routine, stripping out of my clothes as I walked to my bed. I laid on my bed in only my bra and underwear as I cooled off from my exhausting day. I had to admit, it wasn't what I was expecting... by a long shot.

As I grabbed my bag from the floor to gather my homework, I thought back to Christian and his weird behaviour. What made things worse was how easy I was willing to forget his past misdeeds, and believe he truly wanted a fresh start. But it was too risky, and I wasn't willing to take that risk.

I rolled over on my back as I read over the instructions for my English paper, a pen in my mouth.

I lost track of time as a small knock came from my door. "I'm heading out." Maddison called before I heard her retreating foot steps down the stairs. No doubt she was heading to that party everyone, but me, seemed to be invited to.

I turned back over on my stomach, my legs in the air, crossed, as I began to create an outline.

Another knock echo throughout my small room, this time from my window that overlooked the neighbours house.

I jumped and shrieked as my papers went flying around me, landing everywhere. I turned to stare in freight, but that quickly turned into anger.

I stormed over to the window, opening it. I glanced outside, noticing the slight break in the frail tree branch that hung close to my window. He stood on the house top, his chest bare and his earphones in his ears.

He gave me a once over, and then another, a slight crocked smirk on his lips. I brushed off the feelings it brought up and ignored my pounding heart.

"What the hell are you doing on my roof?" I whispered out the window into the chilly night.

"Hello to you too" he smiled, pulling his earphones from his ear. "Can I come in?"

"Can't you ring the doorbell like a normal person?" I moved aside to let him in. I would have said 'no' but I was worried regarding how he was going to get down. Unlike him, I wasn't a barbaric, but if I was, I would have pushed his off the roof myself. I smiled at the thought.

"Would you have opened the door?" he raised a brow at me.

"Huh" I realized as I thought about that. "Probably not" I answered honestly. When he bent and picked up the dress that I wore today off the floor, I finally realized why he was gazing at me like that earlier, and right now. Embarrassment washed over me as I realized I was half naked in front of my tormentor. I jumped across my bed awkwardly and raced for my robe that was thrown over my arm chair.

"Why didn't you say something?" I scold, wrapping the robe tight.

He raised a brow at me again, a small smile playing on his lips. He picked up the clothing and paper that laid along my floor, placing them in the hamper in the corner of the room and on the bed.

"If you climbed two stories up a tree to clean my room, I could have just scheduled you in" I comment sarcastically.

He ignored me, glancing around the area. "A bit small isn't it?" He murmured.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I challenged.

"Someone of your status should not be confined to such a small space" he explained. I rose my brow at him this time, taking a seat on my bed. I wasn't sure what he meant by 'status' but I took a guess at it.
