Rose':

I summoned the elevator and waited a few seconds for it to arrive. It opened and I entered and pressed my floor.

Today was so tiring. The next fashion show is near. The preparation for the show has been on the run for the past few days and I must there today for my costume fit. I took a lot more energy than I thought. But you know, for the show.

The elevator doors opened and I walked towards my apartment. I entered the password and my house welcomed me.

I removed my shoes and left my coat at the hanger and placed my car keys in their appropriate place so that I will not get frustrated searching for them tomorrow.

As I entered my living room my eyes landed on the figure lying in the couch.

This is her.

So, what happened was. my therapist said that I should socialise and let people be around me. But me who do not like socialising and very much like my solitude refused to that idea because, duh!

But when I started feeling lonely more than ever lately, I talked to my therapist and she brought back the same socialising shit. *Eye roll*

So, I sort of thought of a solution which does not involve me socialising but also does not make me feel lonely.

I talked about it to my agency and we discussed about all the things that might go south because of this arrangement. But at last, we agreed on some terms.

So, what I proposed was that I need an escort. Someone who is willing to live with me for a specified period. And that person will be paid, of course and will be made to sign an NDA.

All they have to do is live with me in my apartment and keep their mouth shut to the world. No one except me, them and a few people in my agency will know about this setup. This will be our little secret.

Then my agency started to fish for the perfect candidate for this setup and found her.

She, a local, who lives around with her younger brother who is working his best to enter college. They have lost their parents when they were young and she was the one working hard to keep their life going.

So, she has been living with me for the past month. Her brother got admission to a well reputed college abroad and is living overseas, perusing his student life.

At the beginning it was awkward for the both of us. Especially for me, coz she knows me. *shrug*

She used to tiptoe around a lot to not to disturb me. But as time passed, we started getting comfortable with each other's presence. We started watching movies together, if one of us cooks we will cook for the other and we started having conversations like friends.

We became roommates. Yay!

But lately I caught myself giving more of my attention to her. I started noticing the way she laughs, how her eyes shrinks when she smiles, the way she throws her head back while laughing, they way her eyes stay still when she's thinking of her brother, when she misses her parents, when she enjoys the music I play and a lot more.

I smiled as I walked closer to her lying on the couch and realised, she was asleep, her arms hanging above her head, mouth a little agape. She looked so beau.. umm, peaceful. Yup, peaceful.

I released a deep breath I didn't realise I was holding.

I don't know what got into me, but my body moved on its own, I started laying myself on top of her, my hands on both sides of her, as my head rested on her chest.
