"What do you mean by 'of course it has to be you'?!"

"Exactly what it means, duh."

Olivia gave an indignant huff at that. "I don't see why you have to be all condescending and bothered by it, what I have done to you"

"Let me see....oh yes, first off, you randomly came by for no good reason and gave me a headache. Next you-"

"Hey! I saved you from a flooded house alright? The hole was a very disturbing thing to see."

Eric paused and laughed at that, "that sounds.....ha...nevermind. As I was saying, next you decided to take a leave for the entire week, leaving me, an overworked poor innocent professor to deal with those rascals one calls as the first years!"

Olivia just stared at him blankly. Eric wasn't sure what was up with her.

"You done? Good. Because I was just waiting for you to finish off your boring tirade. Gosh...no wonder you are single, you poor, poor lonely man."

"Hey wh-"

"I wasn't done." Eric just gave an exasperated look at her and motioned for her to continue. "One, I fucking saved you from drowning in your 'would have been flooded had i not pointed out the hole' house, next, I had a valid reason and was totally not loafing around when I took that leave, how was i supposed to know that you teach there as well and would get my class!"

She then pointed at his chest, "I mean seriously, go be model with those pecs and abs of yours. Why are you teaching if you dont wanna?"

"Becau-"

"Tut tut tut. Did I say I'm done?"

"No your majesty, please continue, maybe I can finally get away from you next year, which, by the way is when I think you will finally be done."

"Seriously Mal èeve Dummkfop, you are really starting to live up to your name and not in a good way."

"You gotta stop that name calling, now you even know my name."

"And it still surprises me how it isn't Mal èeve Dummkfop."

Eric just shook his head, "Seriously, what have I ever done to you? Would it kill you to just leave me be?"

"Why?" Olivia said as she stepped closer to him. Eric took a step back, making her taking another step forward, "Why should I? Just because you think you are all high and mighty and deserve to be forever alone for the rest of your miserable life? Fat chance I'll let that happen. You think I'll let you be when I thrive on attention and mysteries? I love a good suspense and will not stop till I figure out what or who got that stick up your ass and I will definitely try to remove it."

Eric had no clue what she was even on about. He heard of nosy people, extrovert, weirdos but this just, it was just deja vu for him.

How did they even get get to this point?

Ah well it all began a week back, when he agreed to have dinner with Olivia.

What exactly did happen back then?
