It's you

Chapter 19

After the breakfast, Christian offers himself to do the dishes and Stacey excuses herself to her room.

She gets in the room and sits on her bed. Her brain is empty right now, she didn't know what to do. When she spent her weekend without Kylie, she will turn on the radio and volume it up or watching TV but with Christian here, all of the activities that she used to do are limited. He might think she's rude if she does all those stuff.

It's getting boring and she really HAVE to watch TV right now! Surely there are interesting programmes showing at this hour. She cannot be still.. Keep calm, she told herself. She glances at the clock hanged on the wall. Oh my gosh! She should watch TV! She gets up and goes downstairs and find out Christian is already there but he didn't notice her.

She quickly takes her steps to go back to her room upstairs. Before she could do that, Christian calls her name. Ha, she wanted to escape from him in the first place but she got caught.

"You just went here but why are want to go back?", he asks making her to blush.

"Nothing. I just..."

"You want to watch TV but I was here, that's why you want to go back to your room?", he cuts and she stunned. He was right.

"Am I right?", he says. Stacey doesn't know what to reply him.

"I guess I'm right.", she still quiet.

"Come and watch it with me..", he continues. Stacey nods and takes a seat on the other couch.

"You should come here, sit beside me.", he says with a smirk. What's with him? He's getting weird and creepy. Or is it her who is weird for having a negative thought? She starts to have goose bumps.

Seeing her expression, Christian burst into laughter. He was just teasing her but she's already scared. That's fun! Stacey becomes more scared when he laughed like that.

"Hey, I'm just teasing.", Christian says. She seems like wants to cry so he stops teasing her. Ugh, she was such a crybaby. She's no fun.

Stacey gives a sigh of relief after he said that. Seriously, he's scary. He was funny and friendly before but now he has changed drastically into a scary guy, his face expression also serious and empty. Or it was just her feeling for thinking of him like that?

"What do you want to watch?", he asks, waking her up from what she has been thinking.

"Anything.", she answers shortly. She will watch whatever showed on TV, maybe.

"Ok then.", the presses the remote to change the channel. Then, a live broadcasted wrestling match is showed and there are two men struggling to wrestle with each other. Is he for real?

Christian takes a glance at Stacey. A smile slips on his lips. He knows she is bored watching wrestling. It is fun to tease her and see her expression, it's funny but cute.

**

It's been half hour that she been watching wrestling on TV, uninterestedly. Despite that, she still wants to watch TV, but not wrestling! She prefers football.

Christian changed the channel and a movie called 'The Fault in Our Stars' is showed. He glances back at Stacey, now her face lights up. She must be like this movie, he thinks and he ends up watching that movie.

He didn't know what this movie was about. It's not even sad but Stacey cries while watching it and it is funny to see her trying to hold back her tears. In the end, her tears keep falling down her face. He then gives her a box of tissues.

"Thank you..", she utters with hoarse voice as she takes it. She feels embarrass for crying like that in front of him just because of movie. She rarely watches romance movies let alone love story books. All her books are science fiction like her favourite trilogy books, 'The Hunger Games'. She even brought them with her when she went here. She reminds of how hard she had been searching the books. She went to all bookstores in Dublin just for that books.

"Ok..", Christian replies. To be honest, he doesn't like to watch that kind of movie. Love story? Oh no, that is not so him but seeing that Stacey seemed to like that movie so much, he ends up watching it.

Stacey didn't talk much and seemed uncomfortable with Christian. She could die living with him in awkwardness.

"Stacey..", he calls her.

"Yes?"

"What is your full name? Sorry for not asking your full name earlier."

"It's Stacey Jane Johnson.", she tells him. He nods at it.

"Your name is beautiful, Jane. Mine is Christian O'Niell Brooks.", he says. This time with friendly tone and told her his full name himself.

"Thanks. Yours too, O'Niell.", she sincerely says. She thinks that his middle name is unique and... beautiful. Christian chuckles when being called by his middle. It reminds him of her late mother who often called him that. Oh, he missed her so much. She's gone too soon, leaving him alone with her sister. She should wait a bit longer until she sees him went to the college or graduate from university and be a successful man like she always wanted him to be.

"How old are you?", he continues asking.

"Seventeen but eighteen to be next month. You?"

"Really?!", his eyes open really wide hearing of what he just heard. She nods. Seventeen? Really? She is too young and that's surprising.

"I am 19.", he continues, answering Stacey's question after being in surprised for a while. Seeing him still in a surprised look, she giggles.

"You are too young to be a university student. Are you a genius?", he teases but speaks the truth.

"I don't know, maybe.", she shrugs as she laughs, then she quickly says, "I'm just kidding."

She begins to feel comfortable with him. Well that's good than being quiet like a puppet and when he questioned her, she just answered shortly.

"Stop playing around, tell me.", he says interestedly wants to know.

"I don't know, really. I got offered a seat from universities I applied before, I immediately accepted one of them which the one I went now without thinking any further.", she tells him. Her mother had told her many times to reconsider about continue studying abroad. Australia is too far from Ireland. She even cried when sending her here.

"Universities?! You must be the best student in your school, huh?", she chuckling shyly at what he just said.

"Not really..", she replies modestly. Christian nods but still in doubt.

"So, what are you used to do when it comes to weekend like this?", Christian continues asking. He didn't ask much about her before because he was excitedly talking about his joke. He didn't know what's up with him that time, he felt like wanted to make someone laugh and he likes to see Stacey smiling and laughing that he forgot to ask all those questions, maybe because she had cook a breakfast for him.

"Nothing, I just watched TV and sleeping."

"That must be really boring."

"Yeah.."

"Wanna go somewhere with me?"

"Where to?", she frowns and he replies it with a smile.
