Secrecy of Regrets

44 - Why am I not Surprised?

44 – Why am I not Surprised?

"Cute?" Jack asked still processing.

"Cute?" I said to confirm my stupidity.

Did I just called him cute?

I composed myself and Jack went probably to his room rubbing his nose.

I wish his nose remains as red as tomato till tomorrow for everyone to enjoy the view.

Only after my evil thoughts, I noticed

- I'm in living room.

- I fell asleep on couch in living room.

- I'm alone in living room.

- I'm alone in this dark scary living room with small light of night lamp stand besides couch.

I gathered the blanket around me and pull my legs to the chest.

After five minutes of me waiting for any type of ghost or spiritual energy to show up, I gathered enough courage to search for my phone.

Concluding that I was not going to find it, I changed my mission to search for light switches. I stood up not planning to leave the soft blanket alone, I held it tightly to my chest.

I tripped over the stupid blanket and landed with a thud. The wild imagination of Annabelle doll hiding behind the couch. I immediately freed myself from blanket take it together again. Finally I found the switches and turned them all.

A frightening scream left out of my mouth seeing Jack standing on top of the stairs, hands in his sweat pants pockets looking straight at me!

"Why on the earth are you standing there in complete dark you devil Ironman?" I clutched the blanket tighter to my chest calming my nerves down.

He stared at me.

I stared back at him.

Then I averted my gaze and found my phone on the other couch. I stomped over to that direction and I gasped as my foot hit to the corner of coffee table.

I looked at Jerk because his expression were more important to me than that pain. He was hiding his mocking smile. I took the phone and made my way to room where Charlotte - DRUNK Charlotte was sleeping.

I was stopped by authoritative voice of Jerk - 

"May I have to remind you to switch off the lights?"

Okay that made me angry. I looked at him scrunching my eyes.

"I am sleepy and you see switch is so far from here. And you Mr. Owl, seem to enjoy darkness. So do me a favour. Please switch off the lights by yourself when you decide to wander around this beautiful land of living room. Thank you very much for your co-operation and Good night."

I bowed to him and turned around flipping my hair and made a run to the room before he think of any other idea to frustrate me.

I flipped for the hundredth time and Charlotte was in the same position since I entered the room. Of course she would be in same position, she is drunk and asleep.

Should I also get drunk?

But then again Jack would leave me on road and I would make a scene dancing or singing old Bollywood songs and next day I will over the funny social media pages!

No No No – I don't want that huge popularity. I am okay here in this comfy bed wide awake.

3.00 am – Ceiling is designed good.

3.15 am – Ohh! There's a big fancy wall clock here!!!

3.30 am – This room comes with nice dressing mirror!

3.45 am – Charlotte is still in same position!

After five seconds of watching Charlotte, I stood up and wear the hoodie I don't know whose, take my phone and went out the room.

I was planning to stay in living room watching few movies but someone was there in kitchen.

I knew who was person. I was secretly wishing to meet Jack at this time somewhere in back of my mind. He was taking the water bottle out of refrigerator.

"Why am I not surprised?" He said without turning his head to me.
