I'm such an ass, here I've been giving a shoulder for that person to cry on, who caused all the trouble in my life. He made me say cruel, nasty things to my parents, my brother and a person who was permanent in my life, Joshua. Why did I have to be so sympathetic, urgh I hated myself now.

*Knock, knock*

"Who is it?" I asked with a cracked voice.

I got up from the floor where I have been crying all day, and wiped my tears.

The door opened and revealed a tiny woman, sporting a few white stripes to her otherwise copper hair, which is pulled over at the top of her head to form a bun. She wore an apron over a floral print long frock. Well basically she had the cliche nanny look.

"It's me, I'm Martha, I'll be your care taker from now on, dear." She said with a more-than-sweet smile.

There, there, so now I need a care taker, what am I, a ducking immobile architecture, that I needed a care taker, ducking awesome.

*exasperating sigh*

(Of course I didn't mean ducking above)

Over more she entered my room as if it was her effing birthright. Certainly not the right time to pick at me. I stopped her before she could open my drawer, yeah she was going to do that.

"Firstly, I didn't allow you to come in, and secondly I don't need anyone to take care of me and thirdly I don't like people touching my things".

Yes, I am moody and someone with I-know-everything vibe was the last person I'll like to talk to right now.

"Oh my dear, I know how you are feeling right now but let me assure you that Sir Junior is the best man any girl could have wanted". She said, holding my hands.

There you go, now there's no stopping your destruction lady. I jerked my hands away.

"What? What exactly did you say just now? What makes you think that I have any scarcity of boys to woo me over and this boy who prefers to kidnap me and makes me live with him to cover up for his loneliness is the best man I could get. Oh, please. Give me some space. Listen, you woman. You don't know me, so don't try to mess with me. I'm not a person to be told what to be done.
Now, leave."

I simply sat on my bed and stared out the window, not even caring to check whether she left or not.

I overstepped I guess, but how dare she say I wouldn't have gotten anyone better than this Asshole.

As I sat there, my mind wandered around my life day before yesterday , so normal, so happy. Then, just one elf of a person comes hopping to ruin everything.

(Pardon my imagery. 😛)

"Shreya?"
I jerked at the call.

God! Speak of the devil and here he comes.

I expected Martha to complain but not this fast.

I braced myself for the impact.

I slowly turned towards the door.

"Yes?" I looked everywhere but at him.

"Can I come in?"

It was then I noticed that he was standing on the threshold of my room.
