THE STRANGER LIVING IN MY HOUSE

Chapter five

Another day goes by so slow and I keep on thinking about my day with Michael and how Austin ruined it.

My only question is, why would he do that? I only hope he will be a better roommate.

I glance over to my window in the TV room and notice shadows of people dancing in Kevin's house. At least he is happy, he deserves it.

After a few minutes, I turn off the lights in the house and go straight to bed right after brushing my teeth. I haven't even had supper because there is no point of cooking for myself only.

9 AM

I wake up and realize it's finally Sunday. It was a very long night especially because I kept on thinking about Michael.

They say if you think about someone over and over again, it's possible that the person might have been thinking about you first.

I reach for my phone and check for anything new today. As usual my notification bar is empty. I get out of my bed and begin to clean and do my laundry before Austin arrives.

I make sure that there is nothing left from my past roommates in his room. But I make sure I don't clean the room thoroughly because of the type of person he is. Pervert.

8 HOURS LATER

I look at the time on my phone for the fifth time in one hour and the guy still hasn't showed up. It's 6 pm and my parents will be here anytime soon for dinner. I just hope they don't arrive at the same time.

Maybe he's turned down the offer. That would actually be good thing.

Immediately I put my phone down on the couch I hear a knock at the door. I stand from my comfortable position on the couch and walk over to the door to see who it is.

I open the door hoping it's one of the m and not both of them.

"Hi roomie" Austin says with a smirk on his face holding a suitcase in his left hand.

"What took you so long, my parents will be here anytime soon" I say with folded arms showing him that I am being serious.

"Uhm... I had some, work" he stammered as he rubbed the back of his neck. The same thing he did when I asked him what his name is.

"Uh-huh... okay whatever, just get in before my parents get here. Remember don't show yourself when they are here"

"Okay but what if I have to use the toilet" he says walking into the house with his suitcase.

"Then you keep it, just hold it in okay?"

"Okay but what if I'm thirsty?" he asks with a wide smile on his face. I can tell he is just trying to piss me off.

"Just stay, or text and I'll give you water" I tell him waving my phone in the air.

"Okay, but what if I need some air" he grins and I tilt my head looking at him. 

"Just stay in your room okay... now go and settle, the last thing i need right now is having my parents know that i rent out a room"

"Why?"

"None of your business okay?"

"You're feisty, I like that" he says with a smirk

"Austin"

"Sorry" he says and grabs his bag. I watch him walk towards the room and begin to wonder as he opens the door.

"How'd you know that's the room?" i ask
