"Excuse me?" I shrieked, opening the door fully open and standing up to him.

"Uh-"he stopped, "Are you the house-keeper here?"

"What?!"

"No English?"He asked a sheepish grin on His face.

"Wa-"

"Ew"He pointed at me,"House"He gestured behind,"keeeeper?"And then he started fanning himself.

Like Dafuq?

I burst out laughing.

"That!"I choked out between laughs, "Was the worst imp-"

"You understand English?!"He asked, disbelief etched on his face.

I sobered up.

"Neviens man nav"I said with my best poker face on.

"What?"He asked flabbergasted.

"You really are dumb" I said shaking my head.

Stupid airhead.

"Hold up woman!"He said putting his hands up, like he was surrendering to the police or something.

"Yeah?" I asked flatly.

"Who are you?"He said, faintly irritated.

"None of your business" I replied with the same tone, although I was anything but irritated, amused was more like it.

"Well, Miss 'None of your business'," said making air quotes around the phrase," enlighten me then".

I raised a perfectly arched eyebrow.

"Do you live here?"

"Yes" I replied curtly.

"Do you know where the former family that lived here is?"

"What former family?"I asked.

"Uh"

I raised an eyebrow again, now too consciously aware of the dead body lying in my house and a super hero standing at my doorstep.

I stared, "I uh-"

"Forget it!" he said abruptly, "its wrong information, sorry to disturb you"

"I-"

"But!"He said, smiling slightly.

"But?"I asked alarm bells ringing in my head.

"Do you happen to be free tonight?"

I was stunned, this guy, just a minute ago was asking me whether I was a housekeeper! 

And now he's asking me on a date.

The nerve!

But does he even know the town to 'take' me on a date?

Yea I know I am weird, a second ago I was angry and now this is what goes through my mind!

"Do you even know the town?"I asked.

"Not yet," he said, leaning on the door-pane,"but am sure you can show me"

"It was nice meeting you Mr. Storm" I said my tone as sweet as sugar.

And slammed the door on his face.

That's ought to teach him lesson.

I bet his trio of Hollywood starlets and models don't slam their doors on his face.

Oh well, sorry Mr. Superhero that's just not how I swing.

Yet!
