Trust Me, She Isn't Mad!

Chapter-3 Ouch!

TA Daa! ANOTHER Update

CHAPTER-3

Alice was looking around the room with a disgusted expression on her face and I was cursing my memory under my breath. All over the bed and on the floor were my clothes, not just clothes but my boxers too were laying on the floor while my favorite pair of superman boxers were on the bed. To say I was embarrassed would be an understatement of the year. Right now I just wanted to dig myself a hole and go die in it.

"Err...Excuse me." I said, still cursing myself mentally and moved past Alice to collect my clothes as fast as I could manage and threw them in my closet. Talk about a first Impression!!

The room was still a mess, my books were on the table and some on the floor to, every inch of computer desk was covered with CD's, the guitar was standing on the recliner, around 10 empty cans of Pepsi and beer were there on the bedside table and Pizza boxes were laying on the couch. I sighed and continued cleaning the room again -not looking at Alice once.

My ego was already at stake with her and to top it all off, I even embarrassed myself furthermore in front of her. First, she slaps me when I try to help her, then she ignores me completely, after that she claims my room and now she's making me clean it up. I sighed heavily, I was feeling extremely tired after all the day's events and just wanted to sleep it all off in my comfy bed, but apparently, I can't even do that, it's the couch I get to sleep.

I didn't have any idea about what I was doing; I just kept moving things from here to there. Mum always cleans my room so I didn't know anything about this kind of stuff, but I tried my best.

Alice cleared her throat in order to get my attention, she was looking straight at me when I turned towards her and once again I was taken aback by her eyes -spellbound again, after ten seconds when I finally found my voice all I could think to say was, "Do you wear contacts?"

She didn't reply. This was something I wasn't expecting because I was now alone in the room with her and thought she would give me some sort of response, but she didn't even nod her head as 'yes' or shake for a 'no' which she usually does. She just looked away from me towards the door and this made me angry as hell.

"What the heck is your problem? I am talking to you." I shouted, I don't know why I was getting this angry. I am always usually calm and composed. Her reply to my outburst made me even angrier, she flinched away and took many steps back adding more distance between us and again looked down, her hands once again clutching her sides tightly. She looked like a scared puppy, did she think I'd hurt her!

"Alice," I called her in a soft voice and she took another step back "Alice, look at me." I asked her and she shook her head at me as 'no' "Look I didn't mean to shout at you, it's just...I am tired I guess." She still kept looking down but at least she wasn't moving back anymore. "Alice, are you listening to me?" She did a slight nod with her head, and I felt relief and satisfaction flow through me that at least she was acknowledging me now. "Look at me..." I asked her, it irritated the fuck out of me when people don't look at me while conversing with me or avert their eyes. but on second thoughts, it would be a lot better if she didn't look at me, that way I won't have to look at her scary unusual eyes.

Very hesitantly she looked up with a blank expression on her face but her eyes were still not on me, she was looking anywhere and everywhere except me and finally when her eyes did land on me, it took everything I had in me to not take a step back with the intensity of her gaze. I gulped and shook my head in order to get myself out of the magic spell she had casted on me. Witch definitely!

"You don't need to be scared of me, I would never hurt you, okay?" I told her and she nodded slowly, this was something I needed to clear with her if we were going to live together under the same roof. I can't have her cowering away from me and flinching every time I'm near her.
