Surprises?

Her eyes were glued to her fingers, which fidgeted with each other. Biting her lower lip, she sighed in exhaustion.

"About Felix..."

I blinked in response, straightening my posture, concerned about the topic.

"What's the matter?"

She paused for a while, before speaking again.

"We had a really bad argument last night... It started when we were happily watching some movie and spending our night together. At night, when we were about to sleep, he went downstairs to have some water, while I waited in his room for him. And that's when things went wrong..."

I stared at her, signalling her to continue. She took a deep breath and spoke again.

"I eventually got bored and started walking around his room..."

(Last night):

Rose sat on the edge of the bed feeling bored, while tapping her foot on the floor impatiently. Sighing, she finally stood on her feet and causally walked around Felix's huge room, which was filled with unique furnitures and figurines.

Admiring his taste in decorating his room, she walked towards his shelf, which was filled with multiple different books. Roaming her eyes over them, she finally decided to pick one of them. As she picked it, a familiar voice behind her made her flinch.

"Rose!"

She jolted her head towards the door, to see Felix smiling widely at her with his eyebrows raised.

"You're back."

She passed a genuine smile to him, as he approached her with quick steps. His smile slowly faded away, when he saw her invading his 'so called privacy' without his permission. His eyes diverted towards the book, as he raised one of his eyebrows, questioning her.

"Oh, I was just admiring your choice of books."

She smiled nervously, as he nodded.

"Hmm. Can we sleep now? It's late."

His eyes pierced into hers, as he stared at her without blinking even once. She raised her eyebrows, before quickly nodding.

"Yeah sure. Let me put this back."

Pushing the book right into the shelf at it's place, she turned around, not aware that one of his expensive figurines was right behind her.

Her arm swung in the air as her hand hit it. It fell on the floor, rolling down on the carpet, under the king-sized bed. Her eyes widened instantly, as she gasped.

"Omg! I'm so sorry. I'll find it-"

"It's okay Rose."

He said casually, sighing. She panicked, glancing around, feeling sorry for him.

"No Felix, I'll get it for you!"

She said quickly, before bending down.

"Rose!"

He panicked and raised his voice, widening his eyes.

"I don't want it, it's okay-"

"It was expensive, I can't let it-"

"Rose!"

She ignored him, before fully bending on the floor, and peeking under the bed, stretching one of her arm under the darkness.

"Rose leave it!"

He panicked, and pulled her other arm, but she resisted, as she roamed her arm on the carpet for the figurine.
