The Upper-World man

Chapter 2

I unlocked the door to my apartment and got in enjoying the familiar feeling of home. The day was weird and I decided to hit the bed right after having something to eat.

The word eat reminded me I had not done my shopping and I have only a few slices of bread in my refrigerator. Too big a word for too little content.
I opened my fridge and found it full.

"Girl, you had a pathetic grocery supply, so I stocked it up"
As soon as I heard the familiar voice, I shrieked and grabbed a knife from my kitchen shelf. I turned towards him to find a amused grin on his face.

"Seriously, a knife?! I am god. I used nuclear weapons to light my cigarettes back in heaven.", he laughed.

"You smoke?", I asked the first thing that came to my mind. Smoking is injurious to health. Yes, I was concerned about the health conditions of a probably psychopath guy in my house.

"Oh no. I smoke only on parties with my buddies. The last time I smoked...was on the party for creation of earth, I guess ", he replied seriously.

I tried not to, but I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing,"If you kill me now, thank you for making my last moments humourous "

"Girl, I am no joker. I am god", he said, glaring at me.

"If you had read and seen enough fantasy books and movies, you would know that this is the stage when I ask you to prove that you are indeed god".

"What do you want me to do? Shape shift? Teleport? I am sorry, but you are not gonna get any performance from me tonight. I am tired, I am gonna retire to bed", he said as he started walking towards my bedroom.

I blocked his path, the knife in my hand still pointing towards him. I had serious chances of getting a panic attack. I started to sing 'Take you down' in my mind to take my mind of the psycho annoying killer situation.

He sighed and disappeared. Wait, that not the way to say it. He sighed and...DISAPPEARED!

"Maybe, if you listen to me patiently without interrupting, we can end this this fiasco and go to bed", I heard only his voice.

This is a dream, this should be a dream. I sat down on the sofa and waited for him to reappear.

"Listen, I am Siaka, a Demi god. I got convicted for a crime in heaven, the punishment for which is to bring a human as my date to an event in heaven. So, I want you to cooperate with me and attend the event, after which we both can go our separate ways", he said in a commanding tone.

"This doesn't seem like a punishment", I stared doubtfully at him.

"Well, believe me, considering that the girl is you, this is indeed a punishment"

I lost my cool."Well then, why don't you move your ass out of my house and choose some other person as your date?"

"Do you think I haven't tried?", he said casually, making himself comfortable in my sofa.

"Enough, whoever you are, I do not want to go on a date with you, get out of my house. NOW.", I almost shouted as I forced him out.

"You do understand that I am god and I can walk through the door, right?", he smirked.

"Shut up and get lost", I said as I slammed my door to his face.
