The Criminal's Sweet Love

Fire Police

Emma's Pov:-

I was working lazily when I got a phone call. It was an unknown number. Strange. Only two people in the world call me. One, the owner of the house and two, the owner of the local store. Boring, I know. I picked up and heard the voice of a man. I think I heard it somewhere but my brain is as lazy as me so it won't do the work of remembering. He said that he read the pamphlet and called to ask if the room is available. The first thing I needed to do was to make sure he was a man so I asked,"Are you a girl" I could tell he was contemplating his life decisions from the other side of the phone. Then I added," Just making sure". After getting a satisfied answer, I asked him to meet me at the apartment at 6.

After sitting on the counter for 3 hours and counting the number of customers who went in and out, I finally went home. I saw a man standing near the gate. As I went closer, I saw him staring at the cross sign on the door of my apartment. I approached him and realised he is the man I met in the store who makes me act stranger than I actually am. His face was completely different from before. He had a very sharp jawline that can be used as a knife in the kitchen. So people if your knife is rusted find yourself a man with sharp jawline.

I made him wait for 5 mins before opening the door so that the house looks presentable enough. I invited him in and told him my name 'Emma Boston', The next question he asked was guessed by me the minute I introduced myself.I am so smart people, Fortunately you can't be me.
The question was "Are you from Boston?". After denying it, I asked his name. Alek Martin. This is my new favourite name and man.

Later, the conversation went like this-

"So Alek, where did you live before?"
My brain: You've already decided he's going to stay here so what's the point in making me do extra work.

"Actually I..I...I was in jail. I was released today and I can't go out of the city for 6 months"

"Cool. Why were you in jail? Did you steal something or vandalized some property"

"Umm...no. The police said that I mudered my mother".

"Answer me sincerely. Are you here to muder me since I am cooler than you?"

"No. I am here for a room".

"Do you like Ice age?"

"What? I think I like ice age".

"Chocolate or vanilla"

"Chocolate"

"Early bird or night owl"

"What's that?"

" Morning person or night person "

"Night person"

"Will you tell me stories of the people in jail?"

"If you like it."

"Cngratulations! You got the room"

"Okay. That was easy"

"Come, I'll show you the place. The bedroom on the right side is mine and the left is yours. Bathroom is connected but there's a curtain in between.Please tell me you don't like bathrooms".

"No, I don't"

"Good. The rent is 5000$ and I'll need some of your documents."

" I don't have all of them."

"Don't worry, I'll make it work."

So that is how you rent a room and end up waiting together for the fire police to come.
