Metanoia

Chapter Forty one.

"Yeah! Fuck you, stupid bitch!"

Gripping my pencil while my eyebrow twitched, I glared over at Rindou, who sat on his gaming chair, man spread, playing his PlayStation Five.

Getting him that fucking system was the biggest mistake I've ever made.

"Shion, ain't your mom dead?" Rindou snorted, moving the joy sticks rapidly.

My mouth dropped open at the words that just came from his mouth. 'I know damn well,' I scoffed to myself. From his headset, I could hear the boy's loud chatter and laughter. I brought my attention to my medical book and jotted down notes until Rindou's rambunctious laughter bursted my ear drums. "Rindou Haitani!" I shouted, making him look at me with a confused expression. "Quiet down a little bit, yeah!? Your brother is sleeping across the hall, and I'm trying to fucking study!"

The laughter in the headset got louder. Rindou perked his eyebrow, moving the earpiece off of his ear. "Do you pay bills here?"

"No–"

"Do you eat, shit, and sleep here?"

I blinked, "well, no, but–"

"Ight then, be a good girl for me and do your studies." Rindou winked, "Do that, and I'll eat you out from behind." I watched in disbelief and shock as he moved the earphones back over his ear. "She's spending the damn weekend with me."

Did he...

I was shocked that he had suddenly grown the balls to talk to me like that. I curled my lips and nodded, not responding. I picked up my phone and opened the door dash app, scrolling through until I found what I was looking for. Pressing the order button, I put my phone down and felt good about this.

He wanted to be disrespectful, so I was going to one-up him. I was mindful of the time since it was already half past six, and he took his showers at seven at night before Ran woke up from his nap. I smiled at my paper while jotting down more notes.

~Ten Minutes later~

*Ding ding*

My smile grew wider as my phone went off. I pushed myself up from the floor and stretched. "I'm going to get some water," I said, walking in front of Rindou.

"Get me one too, baby," he said quickly, his eyes glued to the screen.

"Sure," I answered as I left the room. Before I rushed down the stairs and quietly opened the door, I quickly looked back to ensure he wasn't getting up. I reached out and grabbed the bag, then shut and locked the door before racing to the kitchen. Snatching a pair of beverages, I darted back up the stairs with the drinks in my hand but stopped in front of the bathroom.

I slid through the cracked door and giggled evilly, knowing that Rindou would rethink ever speaking to me that way. Switching the labels, I put the bottle back in its place and hid the shampoo in the cabinet. I couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he came out. I slid through the door and returned to Rindou's bedroom. "Hey baby," I said, entering.

"Sup," he answered, snatching the water bottle from my hand.

"It's six-fifty. Don't you think you should be going to shower before Ran gets up?" I asked, settling down in my spot on the tatami mat.

Rindou looked at his phone, "Shit. I'll be back–yo, give me like twenty minutes." He slid his headset off, rushed to his closet, grabbed his shorts and towel, and darted to the bathroom.

I chuckled as I jotted down notes in my notebook and said, "Keep fuckin with me," before putting down my pencil and closing my studies. Opening my bag, I put my things inside it and zipped it close.
