★★BELLA★★
I looked at his wide shoulder, his ripped army colored sweater. Wait... Is that 'en' on his shoulder? Does he have a tattoo?
'Bella, you must be stupid, a lot of words end with 'en'.
I turn to the bed and sleep.
Morning time.
I opened my eyes "ahh...! You startled me" I screamed. He squatted, staring at me.
"Well, is this how long you sleep? You must be really lazy, I bet you're jobless" he said as he walked to the window. The day was so bright,the ray entered directly into my eyes.
"Thank you for your hospitality, I'll be going now" I say. I got up, wrapped my hair into a bun.
"You have to answer my questions. Number one, why were you on the streets last night?"
H...a do I really have to answer this? This guy's a psycho.
" I asked you a question, I hate it when you keep me waiting".
I sighed. He's a nobody, yet he acts like an important person. "I was throw out of my house yesterday, I didn't do anything."
"Then do you have where to go?" I shook my head in sadness. "No..."
He was quiet for a long time before saying... "Would you like to be my housemate?"
I'm shocked, in awe... I mean with him? Stay with him? I'll die here.
He snapped his fingers "hey, what are you thinking about? It's not for free! We'll share the rent. Anyway, the rent is so much for me to pay." He turned to me. "Do you agree?!"
I nod and shake my head at the same time...
"Weirdo..." He sneered.
"I have laws you must abide on pompom.." He said. Ahh...! Who's pompom?
"First of all, the most important one. Always keep four steps away from my door, four! I'll cut you to pieces the day you go close."
"Everything...??" I asked.
"Who said it was everything? I'll prepare the rest to you in a contract paper by evening".
"Do I really have to sign a contract to live with you?"
He rolled his eye balls. "Yes of course, for my safety pompom, who knows you might be a criminal."
Who looks like a criminal? Me? What about him? He looks like a fraudster.
"Uhmmn... OK. I agree to your conditions, but I have mine. I'll-"
He got up and left, didn't let me finish my sentence. Scram...!
I don't know if I should be happy or sad, on one hand Bruno almost raped me and now I get to leave with a perfect male.
"I'll go get all my things. How much is the rent?" I asked.
He counted his fingers "Three thousand you'll pay Three Thousand monthly" he said. Does he know he's saying? Three thousand is like so small for this whole house.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Am I a joke? or should take all your salary?"
I smiled and bowed "thank you, thank you."
He sneered at me. Doesn't he get satisfied?
In a while, I took my bath and wore his shirt. I folded the sleeve and tie a rope around my waist. It looks to obvious, it's not mine.
I went to the shop. Madam Serena looks so glad to see me. "Bella, you're here?" She hugged me tightly. "I'm so sorry for last night." She said. I searched around for Bruno, he wasn't around. I want to collect my things.
"Madam, where's Bruno?"
She sighed."He's repenting for his sins. He feels bad for what he did to you Bella. He says he was drunk last night".
"Oh... I want to take my things, I already found a place." I say.
"Pls Bella, I'm really sorry."
"No ma, no hard feelings, I'm still going to work here". Her face lit up.
She called zio to bring my things to the shop.
"Bella, Bella... Bella. You have a delivery to make." She said.
"Where madam?"
She wrote down the address... Looking at it gave me hiccups. How am I going to survive with him?
I load the food in the cooler then start the scooter.
In no Time, I arrived home. 'Richard's home' though he doesn't look like a Richard to me. I think Richards are way serious but this Richard looks like a jobless flirt.
I feel worked up as I made a move to knock on the door. "Knock knock?"
"I didn't hear an answer, is he so bad at answering someone?
The door was opened, I got in with the food
"Mister? Mister!" I called, no answer. I walked to his room. The door was slightly opened. He was sitting on the study Chair with a head set on. He held a gun... Wait, a gun! How can he have a gun?
I opened the door slowly and walked in. I dropped the food and turned to leave, the pen fell of from the table, the next thing I heard was a knife pinned to the door.
I touched my neck. I'm fine, I didn't die...! I didn't die!! He threw a knife but missed his aim.
"Do you want to kill me?" I say lowly.
"Why did you enter this room?!" He yelled. His eyes looked red. Probably from sleep.
"Not-"
"I thought I asked you not to come here?! Then what are you doing in my room?"
I can't speak, I did wrong, I disobeyed... But how can he aim so perfectly?
