Three Months Contract (On hold for a while)

Chapter 7

I woke up when I heard someone knocking on my door, I did not want to wake up this soon but reluctantly I have to get out of this bed before the person from the other side of the door breaks the door.

I was still in my Pajama and my hair was messy. I am pretty much sure that my face is looking much worse now and I really did not want anyone to meet me but who is disturbing me at this time?

Before opening the door, I saw the time on the wall clock of my room and I saw that it is almost six in the morning.

I shrugged my shoulder and say to myself, "Whoever that person is, I think I should thank him or her because he or she woke me on time."

I opened the door and I saw Siddhanth standing outside the door, I crossed my arms and then I ask, "What do you want?"

He at first looks at me and made a disgusted look but then he shakes his head and says, "Can I talk to you for a while? I want to clear some things."

I shake my head and then I say, "No, you can't talk to me right now. And by the way, what do you want to clear?"

He scratches the back of his neck and he nervously says, "I want to apologize for my behavior."

His voice was telling me that he is genuinely sorry. Even though I thought that I will not talk to him like normal people do, I think I should listen to him once.

I opened the door fully and I say, "Get Inside."

He looks at me and then he asks, "Are you sure?"

I nod my head and then he comes inside. To be frank, the room is not as messier than I am right now. He at first looked at the bed that was a little bit disheveled but then he took a sit on the small chair that was in the room. Before I sit to talk to him, I got my comb and my rubber band from the side table of my bed and sat on the bed while combing my hair. He at first just looks at me and then after some few seconds he asks, "Aren't you going to the bathroom to comb your hair?"

I shake my head and he just looks at me while I comb my hair into the pony. In a few seconds, after my hair is somewhat good now, he says, "So..."

"So..."

He sighs and then he says, "Look, I know we both started at the wrong step as in... in the wrong... way. Look, what I meant to say is that I was being rude to you ever since the beginning and I was also like talking to you like you are my..."

"Servant." I complete the sentence and he made an appalled face.

"That's not what I meant." He stuttered and then he takes a long sigh while mumbling something.

He then looks at me again and then he says, "Look, what I wanted to say is that we both started this on a wrong note and I want to apologize for that. Can...we...become friends?"

Should I forgive him?

I mean it's not like I don't love to annoy the hell out of him but even I don't want to start this Contract thing with both of us hating each other in the first week. I slowly nod my head and then he asks, "So are we friends now?"

I went towards him and gesture him to stand up. He looks at me in confusion on why I asked him to do this but then I had a handshake with him while saying, "Now, we are friends. But..."

"But...?" He asks nervously.

"I've some conditions."

He nervously smiles at that and then he says, "Okay. What are your conditions?"

"I don't have that many conditions but only a few. First, I will babysit Jackson here in your apartment whenever I want." I say and he nods his head.
