"What the fuck?" I screamed, sitting up and turning my face away as he scrambled to cover himself. He grabbed his clothes from the closet and dressed quickly before facing me.

"You can turn now" I heard him say.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to scare you like that, and I didn't see anything, I swear" I stammered, unable to continue as his gaze locked onto mine.

"Can you tell me what you're doing here in the first place?" he asked, his eyes piercing through me.

"I... I..." I fumbled.

"You're what, Luna?" Travis pressed.

"I had a dream again. I was so scared that I rushed here without thinking," I lied.

"Thought you were scared of sharing the same room with me. The last time I checked, you only see me as fucker? You shouldn't have come here." he replied, sarcasm dripping from his tone.

I felt a surge of anger. What the hell was wrong with him? Is this even the Travis I used to know?

"I'm sorry, I'll take my leave now," I said, getting up and walking toward the door, hoping he'd call me back. But he didn’t.

I grabbed the doorknob, but it wouldn’t twist open. I can’t go back to that room—not now, not while the rain was pouring like crazy and I was still scared as hell.

Without thinking, I turned back to him, he looked at me.

"Got something more to say?" He crossed his arms like a boss with his workers.

"I'm sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. I just thought you wouldn’t be able to control your urges around me," I said, trying to hold my ground.

"Around you?" Travis laughed, and I raised my eyebrows in confusion.

"Are you kidding me? I've never seen you as a girl, and I never will. You don't have what it takes for me to be interested in you. You're just not my type at all," he said, emphasizing the word "type."

He didn’t stop laughing.

I had to admit, those words hit harder than being smashed in the head with a rock. He’s never seen me as a girl? Am I really that unattractive? Is it because I'm flat, or is he just teasing me?

"So, can I spend the night here?" I finally found my voice.

Travis went silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Thanks" I said, and he gave me a brief smile.

He entered the bathroom, probably to change into something more comfortable.

I climbed into his bed, and soon I fell asleep, feeling more at ease than I ever had before.

When I woke up the next morning, I found Travis already awake and making breakfast. As I stepped into the kitchen, he looked over and smiled.

"Good morning, sleepyhead" he said.

I opened the fridge before turning to him.

"Morning, thanks for last night." I replied, drinking some water while swiping my disheveled hair back.

Travis looked at me and let out a short chuckle, which made me raise my brows.

"What?"

"You know-" He pauses. "You're really not a very attractive person," Travis said with a cruel smirk.
