I was awake lying on my bed reminiscing the events of today. I was very happy and elated. I got a wonderful gift a 'Harley Davidson' at that. Even though Pat claimed it belonged to me I will never claim the ownership of such an expensive gift. In my eyes it belonged to Pat and since he is my friend I am allowed to ride it. That's how I imagined it.

It would be almost two months in few days since the wedding and within such a short period I have become so attached to Pat. He is my new best friend. He even took me to a date well kind of.. of course it was not a date we are friends and friends hanged out with each other not date.. right?? It was really cute. I had a strange feeling inside me, a happy one . With these thoughts in mind I fell asleep but not wholly asleep just in a transition state when I felt the door to my room open slightly. I felt someone standing at the doorway. I did not open my eye too comfortable with my half asleep mind. Whoever it is will state their business or go away, I don't care and with that I fell asleep completely.

As usual I woke up to the stupid child that was Pat sitting on my stomach and making lines over my facial contours with his fingers. His ways of waking me up no longer surprise me now.

"Done with that?" I asked sleepily still hoping that he will just go away and I would be able to sleep some more.

"You are awake, finally", he chirped happily.

"Yeah all thanks to you Pat. How long have you been abusing my body while I was asleep?" I asked finally deciding to open my eyes.

"Oh.. just a couple of minutes grumpy pants.", he said pinching my nose.

"So what were you doing last night standing in my doorway like a creep?" I asked as I got up and he stood up from my stomach giving me space .

"What? Dude I did not come here last night. Did you drink without me?", he pouted. I flicked him on his head.

"No Patty, I did not drink and yes there was someone standing there last night".

"Hmm.. I think there is a ghost Ev, he might have decided to pay you a visit at night", he said in a serious tone but a small smirk was evident on his face.

"Whatever, now leave Patty, I ought to finish my morning routine", I told him and winked at him moving towards the washroom.

"I will see at the breakfast then", he said and left.

I brushed my teeth and finished the nature call and took a quick shower. I dressed myself in a yellow t-shirt and black ripped jeans and put on my Vans. I went down stair and sat next to Pat on the sofa. He was scrolling through his phone texting.

"Who are you texting?" I asked leaning over his shoulder.

"Just talking to Jane. She and others are planning to go out tonight and want us to come. Do you want to go", he asked looking at me.

"I think I will pass this time. I don't feel like partying today".

"Okay, I am also not keen to go out today. Have some business tasks to finish".

"Master Patrick, Master Evan. Breakfast is ready", Tom told us .

"Thanks Tom", both of said simultaneously and headed to the dining table to eat .

Tom had made banana pancakes, scrambled eggs and beef sandwiches for the breakfast.

We indulged in the food and sated our stomach. Pat got a business call so he left after finishing his breakfast quickly while I had all the time so I ate as lazily as I can. My thoughts drifted away to the person who was standing at my doorway last time. Who could that be , my Gummy bears wondered.

"Hey Tom," I called.

"Yes Master Evan", Tom replied from the kitchen.

"Who else is home apart from Pat?", I asked.

"Well Master David is not here currently and Mr. Sharkey is also not here. Master Adrian is in the city so he comes home sometimes", he told me.

"Well that's new", I whispered to myself.

Could that be Adrian? We have not met yet. It is strange right, been into marriage for almost two months and never meeting your husband. My Gummy bears agreed at the thought. And most importantly why would Adrian stand like a creep in my doorway? So confused. Ahh....

I wondered how would Adrian be like. Will he be like Pat; charming, stupid, affectionate, fun-loving? Or would he be like David? A dog-ass, hot tempered, selfish prick?

It would not hurt to have another good husband like Pat, but as long as Adrian stays away I won't mind him being like David. After all, this whole marriage is a sham, I will be out of this in no time. That is what I kept telling myself.

But one thought troubled me. As much as I wanted this contract to be over soon, the thought of losing Pat saddened me. I liked him a lot, like a friend I mean. But we will be in touch I told my Gummy bears so not to worry.

I went to my room and arranged my wardrobe to kill the time since Pat was not around and I was free . Tom called me for dinner later on and since I had skipped the lunch I was really hungry. I devoured the delicious food in no time and also assisted Tom in putting away the leftovers and cleaning the dishes. Tom had praised me for my help and I felt happy to be of his assistance. He had a very kind personality.

Later I went to my room and laid on my bed. I was under the covers trying to fall asleep when I felt the presence of another again at my door. Very slowly I peeked through my closed lashes and found someone standing at the door. The person stood there for few minutes and then to my utter surprise came inside. He stood near my bed silently and I tried not to make any unexpected noise feigning sleep. He remained there for a minute or so and then quickly left silently closing the door behind him.

Who the hell is that?
