Chapter 2

Wearing my jumpsuit pj , I walked towards the bathroom to hear the same sound i heard before leaving the doorstep . I call on his name to see if he needs help . "Xac ?" I say as he doesn't reply to me , I call him again with no responds . So I tell " I'm coming inside , if you're not ready then tell me " i still got no respond , so i crossed my fingers and opened the door to see , wet haired Xac sitting in the bathtumb crossed arms and legs with the water splashing over him .

I stood for a moment and then i walked towards the bathtub and told him that im going to help . When I studies psychology , we learnt about the human's brain and it's mental ability . Strange how men could be affected by problems that they cant even speak or bath . I sit on the bathtub's corner , hold the shampoo and spill it on his hair . I start scrubbing it with my fingers moving past through his messed up brown hair which ended up to be dirty blonde .

It felt very weird but at the same time okay because Xacharious had no respond to what i was doing . My wet curls from the vapor were falling on my face with a bit of sweat on my for head . moving it away with my shoulder , I hold the soap and rub it on his back and shoulders and hands , the water was turning into shades of gray . Damn , Xacharious was having a terrible life for the past few days or maybe months . I could also tell by the scars on his body which seemed quite fresh to me .

I told him to do the same way i cleaned and rubbed his arms for him to do it on his legs and thighs as i washed my hands and left the bathroom .

It was a hard task for me to brush his arms and back both mentally and physically.

Later , Xac came out of the bathroom , with his new cloths on - finally . God . It was something i was worried about - and his misty fluffy hair . i told him to come closer as i rubbed his hair with the towel in his hands .

I asked him if he was hungry but as usual , he didn't reply . How dumb of me , of course he's going to be hungry . i take him to the kitchen and make cheese sandwiches with mortadella's inside them , Not bad for a girl who doesn't cook even eggs . I handled the grocery milk since i was too lazy - the other word for myself - to make fresh milk .

He sits facing me , starts biting the sandwiches as i was looking at him with my lazy eyes opened . "So tell me what is your story ? " I say . Tragically i got rejected by him with his silence as he continued eating his sandwich with passion like a baby bird that haven't tried worms for a long periodically time .

I felt awkward so i didnt speak a word . i looked at the time to see its 1 am , i started howling as he stared at me with a creeped out face on . I laughed and told him to never mind but he has to sleep since mainly i have to sleep . i slowly took him to the living room , told him to lay on the couch as im going to get him a blanket . On the way as i was getting the extra blanket which where stored in joshuas room , i stand confused before entering the room alone again , then i shook my head to avoid thinking so much and i stepped into the room , opend the cupboards , took out a blanket and walked out fast.

Just before i give Xac his blanket i remembered my mother and how am i going to explain my invitation of a stranger . I walked towards Xac and he was already sleeping like a beautiful angel from heaven . If i could id look at him the whole night i, I thought . I kept the blanket on his body but his body was too tall to function with the blanket but eh , It was fine .

I woke up the next day with my mother standing right in front of me . that moment my eyes bloomed she screamed whisperingly " What is he doing here? "

I was freaked out of the way she was staring at me . I woke up from my sleep and explained that his name is Xac , he was left alone, it was a rainy day I had to bring him home. I couldn't leave him over there he needed help so much .

My mother looked at me for a few seconds and then looked down , laughed then she looked at me again , smiled and said " but he's cute though ". " I KNOW RIGHT " I screamed and we both giggled.

I stood up to refresh myself , went down to see Xac sitting on the table with my mother, him staring like always as she was calling me for a conversation with him .

I told that my mother that I have been trying to speak to him since yesterday but he was not replying .

I asked Xac if he has a place to go to and then my stupid self couldn't be more stupid . I told my mother where I found him and she told me that he can stay as a house mate as long as he wants if only he's going to behave . My mother in someway was attached to him but she tried not to show it too .
