Lisa's POV
After hearing his words, I hastily turned to look at him. With such haste that he didn't get time to move the dryer away and the warm air hit my face making me shriek a little.
"What the hell! Why you cannot warn, you mental?!" He snapped and kept the dryer aside and looked at my face to see if I was burned anywhere. He held my face so tenderly and concern was clear on his face.
"I am okay. It was so sudden that I shrieked. I am fine now." I said and looked at him.
"But still, you knew what I was doing. What was the need of of turning around suddenly?" He asked while glaring at me but still he didn't leave my face.
"I was just shocked that you accepted my request. You are so hardheaded and aloof that it came as a shock." I said while looking at him.
"Mental." He muttered and left me and went inside. I pouted and looked at the pizza again and sighed. I am in no mood of eating this anymore.
I picked the pizza box and kept it in refrigerator.
"What happened?" I turned when I heard his voice.
"I... I was not hungry anymore so just kept the pizza in refrigerator." I said and went outside.
"Stop right there. I came to eat pizza so share it with me." He said taking the pizza out again. I turned and looked at him in confusion.
"You said you don't like pizza." I said while looking at him as he kept the box in oven for heating.
"I can manage to eat one or two slices. If you still want to share that is." He said making me smile.
"Sure!" I said as he took pizza out of the oven.
"Can we watch a movie too?" I asked him.
"You are taking it too far but fine we can." He said as we settled on the couch.
I switched on the television and just some random horror movie was on. I do love horror movies so I decided to keep that going.
"What are we watching?" He asked as he picked his slice.
"Just some horror movies. I don't know the name though." I said.
"Fine. Do you need heating pad?" He asked.
"I will get it if I feel the pain is unbearable. Right now it is normal so no need to so much worried. Just enjoy the movie and pizza." I said and looked at him.
"Okay." He said and turned to watch the movie.
It was such a cliché horror movie with no base. I don't understand, if you are scared you should run away from the site without asking 'who is there? Come in the front' the ghost actually come and you die. So much stupid characters and storyline. But what I like about horror movie is the ghosts are smart and ultimately it teaches that when you are living, you are having some fears of loss and that you are running on emotions.
Just as the ghost enters in lead's body, she starts shaping up the character's of an evil and possessed woman. I got to say this the acting here is amazing.
We both were engrossed in the movie and pizza that we didn't realize we actually took whole one hour to finish two pizza slices. And as promised, Vincent just ate two slices and stopped eating. That I have to say that he has so much self control and that is commendable.
"The movie is boring." He said suddenly and looked at me.
"I know it's cliché but not boring. Look at her acting. Isn't is amazing? And... By the way, you were so engrossed in the movie and now you say it's boring?" I glared at him.
"Fine. But this part was so predictable. Anyways, now I have some work. You continue with this, I am going to do some work." He said and again picked his laptop from the table.
"Can you not keep that aside for sometime?" I asked him knowing fully well that he will not do something like that.
"No. You continue with this. I am sitting here if you need anything." I rolled my eyes. Where I was starting to think that he actually cares for me and he just considers me as his responsibility.
"Fine." I muttered sadly looked ahead to watch the movie.
The family of lead character started to feel something out of the way behaviour in her. They all started with their inspection and the way she talks to anyone.
I could feel Vince's eyes falling on me and I looked at him and smiled. Turning again towards movie, I rolled my eyes when the family started trying different methods to remove the ghost out of the lead's body.
Sitting in the position I realized that my back started to ache even more than before. If this goes on, the pain by the end of day will more. I looked at him and he was busy with his so I got up and went yo the room. Opening the drawer beside bag, I took out the heating pad which was already filled with warms water. I picked it went outside and sat on the couch again.
"What happened? It started paining?" He asked as I sat in the couch again.
"Yes." I said and kept heating pad over my back and started watching the movie again.
The lead's family was preparing something and took the lead and made her sit on the chair. I looked at it closely when she was stuck with wire tape. I looked at the scene in shock. The family was preparing to give her electric shock!
The moment I saw this my hands started trembling out of fear. I shrieked when the girl shrieked while still trembling.
"Lisa!"
"Lisa!" Suddenly the television was shut down but my trembling didn't.
"Lisa, look at me." I was crying already after what I saw.
"Lisa, calm down." I was hugged within warm embrace that soothed me a little.
