Falling In Love With Him

9: Permission (Part I)

Samantha's P.O.V

It's been a week since I've been living in his house. Everything that happened this past week was like a dream. It happened so unexpectedly. I checked my phone. 9:00 p.m. He should be awake by now. Today's a Saturday and I'm supposed to go and meet up with Claire. But, should I really leave the house without his permission?

I shook my head. Who cares if I leave? It's not like I'm that important to him or anything. I stood up from the bed and untangled my hair with my fingers. I tied my hair into a bun and headed downstairs.

I glanced at the dining table. Weird. Why isn't he here? I looked around the room and I don't seem to find his face anywhere. I shrugged and continued walking down the stairs. He's probably in his office or at work. I was about to go out the door when suddenly, someone grabbed my arm. "Where do you think you're going?"

I turned around and saw Eisuke. I crossed my arms and replied, "I'm going out with my friend. Got any problem with that?" Eisuke shot me a glare and said, "Yes, yes there is. Haven't you thought about asking permission from me 

"Who do you think you are? My dad? You have no right to decide what I'll do and what not." I started at him with a bored expression. "I decide if you leave this house or not. End of discussion" I gasped. The nerve of this guy! "Ugh, you're so annoying" I mumbled. "What did you say?" Eisuke said in a say-that-again-and-you'll-die tone. "Nothing!" I said as I rolled my eyes.

I stomped back to my room. I entered my room and furiously slammed the door. I slumped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. Ring, ring, ring! I hear my phone vibrate as it's playing the ringtone. I glared at it "Really now? Really? When I'm in a bad mood?" Grabbing my phone, I answered it. "Hello, who's this?" I asked. "Hey. It's already 9:43. Where are you?" a voice answered. Crap, it's Claire.

"Oh, hey, um, sorry but my mom doesn't want me to go with you..." I chuckled nervously. "What do you mean "mom"? I thought you moved out already? Something's definitely up. Come on, tell me" Claire said, worry lacing her voice. She'll be worried if I told her...But, she's my friend. I sighed in defeat. "Believe it or not, I'm in Eisuke's home. Don't freak out"

I heard a gasp from the other side. "No way. Really?? Tell me EVERYTHING!" Okay, I definitely did not expect that. "Um, Claire? Is that you?" I say, surprised. "Yes, silly. It's me."
