Are You Mad?
Does this week can get any worse?
Clutching my blanket to cover my face while I scream made James rush to my room without knocking.
“Lindy! Are you okay?”
I sat right up and gave him an unemotional gaze. What a good start for a Monday morning. Acting confused he grasped my shoulders and gives them a good shake that threw my brain cells all over the place.
“Quit it, will you?”
James sat beside me and tells me the words that I did not expect to come out from his mouth.
“Are you mad at me?”
“No James!”
I immediately faced him and I saw his mood changed. He rarely gets emotional. In fact, He usually is the life of the party. I squeezed his hands as I am looking for the right words to say.

Well, I can’t find the right words to finish that.
As James eats his sandwich, he offers one that he made but I was preoccupied by setting up my laptop for work.
“Then make your own breakfast you spoiled brat.”
He takes the sandwich back and leaves the apartment. I wanted to remind him to be careful of his language but I am in a hurry. I need to submit my report within an hour.
“Hey! Lock the door.”
That is the only thing I managed to say. Who knows who will knock and will take advantage of me, right? I yelled and probably he heard it.
