I wanted you

Chpater 4: Broke His House

I woke up inside someone's room, I can tell it isn't mine, and I can't recognize it so it has to be someone else's room.

I got up and rubbed my eyes and saw Kenji lying down on a mini sofa, sleeping, in front of the bed I was sleeping at.

I looked at the time and it was 9 am, "Kenji?" I stood up and carefully patted him trying not to wake him up.

He opened his eyes, slowly adjusting to the sunlight hitting his face. "Oh, your awake, Keh" He smiled at me again.
He really likes smiling, doesn't he?

We went to his kitchen, and I sat down on the chair next to the kitchen island. "How did I end up in ur bed?" I asked while fixing my messy hair. "For some weird reason, you passed out after one drink of wine."

He giggled at me. "What??" I frowned at him. "Don't worry, I didn't do anything to you, I tried to wake you up but you didn't, I can't leave you on the floor, so I placed you on my bed before looking for your house keys... But you didn't bring them. I didn't wanna barge into ur house again cuz u might get mad, so I just let you sleep here."

Well, at least he gave me the full context about what happened last night.

"Sorry about the inconvenience, Ken, I'll leave now." I stood up and left. "Take a rest before doing anything, you low-tolerant lady." He said but I couldn't hear him.

I received a text and hurriedly opened it. It was Kenji.

Kenji: Don't drink too much, you could barely handle one glass of wine.

Kehlani: Ye yea whatevs, thanks for taking care of me.

I closes my phone and went to my room. I Flopped myself onto my bed and took a nap.

I woke up at 12 pm, did I really sleep that long?

It's Sunday today, I decided to relax since this is the last day before I'll get back to work.

My phone rang, so I picked it up. It was Kenji, again...

He asked me if I was busy for the day, and I said no, "Can you babysit my house? Just
For 2 days," he begged, "Oh, yeah, sure, what's in it for me?"

There has to be something in exchange.
"Well, what do you want? Money, food, quality time, what? Just tell me."

Hmm, that's a lot of choices.

"How much will you pay me if I ask for money?" This is business everyone.

"200$ a day, deal?" He said on the phone. Damn, 200$ just for one day? I'm winning life.

"Sure, when will you leave?" I asked while cleaning my room. "Tomorrow, at 10 pm." I wonder where he'll be going. "Where are you going anyways?"

"You ask too many questions, Ai"

Jeez, if he doesn't wanna tell me, just don't, he's making me sound clingy or something.

"Uhm, ok then." He ended the phone call.

I got bored so I went to the park and saw a little kitten, abandoned and shivering from the cold.

It is winter, so I decided to take it in, it's a he! I'll call him... Snow! since he's white as snow itself.

I gave Snow a warm bath and gave myself one too.

Before I knew it, the sunset was showing. I looked at the time and it was 6 pm.

I got a text from Kenji that he'll be leaving earlier than expected.

Aira: So do I get you the house key or what?

Kenji: I'll give it to you wait, oh and,
I'll give you half payment for tonight since you'll only watch my house for 2 and half days.

Aira: Uhm Ok.

Kenji: Oh and please be careful when You're in my room, last night you almost crushed my flower vase.

Aira: Oh, uhm sorry about that. You can take 30 percent of my payments for that.

Kenji: No need, you didn't even break it so, no need to worry about paying for it:)

Aira: Uhm ok, Have a safe trip I guess...

With that, knocked on my door and I quickly opened it.

"Do you want to stay at my place or yours?" Why do I even need to babysit a house? It's not like someone will rob it.

"I'll just check your house hour by hour, there's no way I'm staying there." He laughed at me.

"Well, I'll go now, goodbye, Ai" he smiled at me and saw Snow behind my legs.

"I Didn't know you had a kitten. Just don't let it get into my apartment, it might break something." He said.

"Yeah, I won't don't worry."

That was obviously a lie. I can't leave a kitten alone.

Then he left, hours passed and he messaged me that he arrived at the place he was supposed to be. He reminded me to check his house.

Ugh, I'm lying too comfortably here. Do I really have to??

I looked at Snow who was also looking at me. "Well, we have to check that old man's crib, c'mon."

I picked up Snow and stood up, grabbed the keys Kenji gave me, and left my apartment to enter his. I placed Snow down while I checked his house.

I checked the bathroom, clear. I went to his room and opened the door, clear. I looked around his balcony, clear.

Nothing is here, so I can go now. I locked his apartment door and I left the apartment and went back to mines.

Wait a minute... Where's Snow?!
"Fuck, fuck, fuck" I panicked and ran back to the corridor.

I was panicking so much that it took me 30 seconds to open his door knob.

I finally opened it and saw Snow.

"Uh oh, someone's in trouble." I bit my lip from guilt. "Snow! What did you do you little munchkin." I looked around and saw the trashed room.

What do I know? I barely left Snow here for 5 mins, and then this happened? I'm dead.

Then I heard someone knock at the door. "Aira? What's happening here?"
