Killing Cruz

Chapter 6

"ACHOO!"
I woke up frightened.
"Sorry, Ivan. I didn't mean to wake you up. You were sleeping so peacefully and I decided to make you breakfast as a thank-you for taking care of me. I'm much better. I only sneezed because Cruz bought a bouquet of flowers for the house. I told him to get rid of it because, you know, I'm allergic to flowers." I smiled.
"Your house needed some colour. It's as bland as pasta without mince and sauce. I threw the flowers away at your request, sir," he said in a sarcastic tone. I giggled. I took my breakfast and ate in bed. Gunter sat next to me and ate his too. We did the dishes and before I left, he kissed me on the forehead.

I smiled for the rest of the day. I was madly in love. Imagining all the things we would do like every girl dreaming of being with their crush. I decided to do a little spring cleaning and surprisingly Cruz was eager to help.
"Since when did you decide to help me? You never help. All you do is eat, sleep and criticize me."
"Because I'm bored!" The way he said it was like a child wanting something badly. I let him help me anyway. Afterwards, we watched TV. The best part of being suspended is that you don't have to work. The worst is that you have to catch up with the work. Luckily, I finished my work weeks ago, so I wasn't worried.

"Carnell, when I'm done with you, I'm going to find love."
"That's sweet, Cruz."
I couldn't help, but feel disgusted by what he just said. The chance of him finding love was very slim. He was the ugliest demon in Hell. We've been watching TV all day. Cruz fell asleep on the couch. I covered him with a blanket and went to my room.
"Tomorrow, I'm booking tickets to Bermuda. I'm getting rid of him. He was a big help today, but tomorrow he will go back to his old ways," I thought.
