"To have someone trust you deeply is a privilege and you only realize it once you have lost that privilege"

-Nirjara Poptani

"Uhm, will you sleep on the left side!", Scarlett let out a whisper.

" Why are you whispering?", Alexander said.

"I-uh, I don't know. But will you?", she said this time, her voice a bit more loud and apparent.

"Why are you stuttering?", he said still not answering her question.

Now that riled her up.

" Oh for god's sake you giant nincompoop answer me!", she screamed at him.

Alexander chuckled and said, "what did you call me?"

'Clearly, this man is deaf' she thought.

"Well for a 27-year-old you sure seem to have a problem with hearing.", she said heaving a sigh she continued," Eh, old age seems to have come early to you."

She was not thinking before she spoke.

"What did you just call me? Old?", Alexander said in a warning tone daring her to repeat it.

" Why yes, I did. And see, you proved my point.", she said.

"Well, for your very kind information you annoying child I am not old neither am I 27. I am just 25", he said.

"Yeah, that is called old too.", she replied meekly and looked away.

With a devious glint in her eyes, she stood up, causing Alexander to follow her and at that moment she leapt to the left side of the bed.

"Buahwaha!", she let out excited.

Alexander made an amused and confused face at her and shook his head.

" You are sleeping in that?", he asked her, pointing towards her jeans.

"Uh, no. I'll go and change. Don't you dare take my place!", she said.

She's such a child. God!

But she's cute. You gotta admit that.

Ye-what no she isn't. Ugghhhh, what in the world is wrong with me?

Shaking his head slowly, he ran a hand through his deep black hair which seemed to have grown a lot now that it covered a part of his forehead and a few strands came up till his eyes.

Scarlett on the other hand went to her room to change her clothes not expecting someone there.

"I don't understand how she got married suddenly", Kristy said to John.

Both of them could digest this information that Scarlett not only got married without informing them but also was with that man in their house. Scarlett was never ever one to make rash decisions, she had not in the twenty years of her life. She made one and it still haunted her.
