YOU NEVER FAIL TO SURPRISE ME, WINTER.

‘’whose?’’ he asks clenching his jaws. Maybe saying his body is not that good angered him.

‘’Nathan’s.’’

Upon hearing his name I could literally see the fumes coming out of his ears but somehow he covered it and asked

‘’I thought you guys were not dating’’ he says venomously emphasizing dating.

‘’Yes, we aren't! now, do I need to publish a front cover in the newspaper saying ‘Katherine Williams is not dating the opponent team’s QB Nathan Black?!!’ ‘’ I huff angrily

‘’No, that’s gonna result in people knowing your single dating status. Right?” he asks raising his eyebrows

‘’Seriously?! I mean out of all the cons you found my dating status being revealed, a problem?” I asked in annoyance and he nods

‘’impossible’’ I huff in response

‘’All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy

And my heart is broken

All my scars are open

Tell them all I hoped would be impossible’’ he sings quietly and I remain still and shocked for his beautiful voice and keep staring at him,

‘’stop staring and now don’t go on about ‘oh you have a beautiful voice’ or ‘do you wanna become a singer?’ ‘you really should sing’ ‘’ he says in a girly high pitched voice and I laugh and say

‘’wasn’t planning on it and your voice is not that beautiful’’ I say shrugging, but he honestly had a beautiful voice however I would never tell him that. His ego is high enough, I don’t wanna boost it even more

‘’Really that’s new. I guess you will need to hear my voice more carefully then’’ he says huskily and steps closer in an instinct I step back. Still not comfortable around his naked chest, him stepping closer would result in me embarrassing myself so after gathering courage I say loud and clear

‘’so let’s start’’ wow so much for being confident. He looks amused and raises his eyebrows

‘’homework’’ I say rolling my eyes ‘’and put on a shirt’’

‘’why? Am I that irresistible?’’ he smirks and I roll my eyes

‘’accept it you wanna run your fingers on my abs. come on, I won’t tease I promise. Oh, wait do you wanna lick my abs?” something in my belly moves when I imagine myself licking those abs. Again covering up my courage I say

‘’shut up. I don’t have the whole day come on’’ I say to Christian who was consumed in very deep thought. He clears his throat and says

‘’um.um.um..I am just coming from the washroom. And putting on a shirt’’ by saying this he rushes to the washroom leaving me confused. What on earth just happened??

He comes back after a while with a black t-shirt on, while I was waiting in the living room and watching the pictures hung on the wall. I didn’t notice him until he stood beside me and says

‘’Why are you smiling?’’

‘’who is this cute baby?’’ I ask pointing at the chubby cute little boy covered in nothing but chocolate

‘’Isn’t it obvious?’’ he says with a smirk and then it clicks on me ‘blue eyes’. Mentally rolling my eyes obviously, that’s him.

‘’ oh I got confused, did you get plastic surgery or something? Or puberty hit you hard?’’ I ask raising an eyebrow and smirk, which falters his smirk, and I mentally high five myself.

‘’baby, this face is god’s best creation’’ he says pointing his face and I roll my eyes ignoring the weird sensation in my tummy after him calling me ‘baby’

Something on the left side of the corner catches my eyes, it was a picture of a very handsome young man on his thirties with a two-three-year-old boy hanging on his arms and another boy around 11 years wearing sunglasses was hugging the man from the back. The scenery was set on a beach, and the three of them looked so carefree and happy. I wondered if the younger boy was Christian but who was the elder one? did he have an older sibling?

‘’That’s my elder brother Aron, he stays in New York’’ Christian says me indirectly answering my question, did I ask that loudly?

‘’why?’’

‘’he’s a lawyer and very successful may I add’’ he says with a proud smile and his eyes beams with happiness with the thought of his brother. He must really look up to him.

‘’Winter I know I am handsome and if you keep staring at me like that I would end up doing something you won’t like’’ he says reverting eyes from the picture to me. Shaking away the thought of whatever he meant, I asked him something I was curious about

‘’Christian where is your mum?’’ this question, falter all the gleam of happiness in his face and I instantly regret my decision of being so nosy

‘’She’s no more’’ he says in a muffled voice

I don’t say anything else, maybe his mum was a sore topic for him. And not wanting to discuss something you don’t wanna even imagine, hurts a lot who would understand that better than me? And me feeling pity for him is the last thing he wants. So instead, I change the topic,

‘’Okay, let’s go start doing the homework as I am not planning on staying tonight and I know you won’t help me an inch’’ I say rolling my eyes and he looks at me with an amused expression

‘’Seriously? no ‘I am sorry’ or ‘it must be hard’ ‘’ he asks sounding amused

‘’I know that’s the last thing you want to hear’’ no one knows that better than me

‘’you never fail to surprise me,Winter’’ he says with a smile, which I returned.

After reaching his room I will not say I was surprised but I sure was shocked by seeing how messy and dirty it was. Being the hygiene freak I was, I was already in search of the bathroom but stopped by thinking how much more dirty the bathroom might be. I was still gaping at the room when I heard a burst of laughter beside me, still shocked I slowly turn towards him and glare.

‘’look at your face!!’’ Christian says and was laughing clutching stomach. Closing my mouth I inhale a deeply and then exhale

‘’Do you call this a ‘ROOM’?’’ I asked raising my eyebrows and glaring at him,

‘’Yeah, what’s wrong it’s just a little bit dirty’’ he says shrugging

‘’YOU’’ I say pointing him ‘’call THIS ‘a 'LITTLE BIT' dirty’??’’ I say pointing the pizza, that was lying on the floor.

‘’yeah’’ he says and I gape at him

‘’I am sorry I cannot do your assignments here ‘’

‘’what? What’s the problem??”

‘’ I swear Christian I am gonna puke right now, I have serious hygiene issues and if you don’t wanna include my breakfast on your floor please show me the route to a clean bathroom’’ and gave him that look,

‘’geez, I knew you would be a hygiene freak but didn’t think it would be this bad’’ he said I glared

Coming out of his room felt like I came out from the gutter. He walked towards the guestroom and gestured me to the bathroom. I washed my face and hands twice, feeling as if the germs were still on me.

Ushering out of the bathroom I saw Christian standing in front of a table placed nearby right after he moved, my jaws dropped, on seeing the pile of books he placed on the table, not jumping on conclusions I walked towards him and stared blankly at him and said

‘’so which subjects do I need to do?’’ and he just pointed towards the pile. Though I knew something like this would happen I still didn’t wanna believe him.

‘’you are joking right?’’ I say him and start laughing and he just stares at me without any emotions, before raising his eyebrows.

‘’COME.ON!! ARE YOU CRAZY?! EVEN MY WORST ENEMY WOULDN’T EVEN GIVE THIS MUCH WORK!!’’ I exclaim and he just nods and says

‘’I am not your worst enemy, I AM YOUR MASTER! So do as I say’’ by saying this he starts ushering out of the room not before saying

‘’ I am in the living room and if you need anything don’t call me.’’ He says pointing towards himself and I was just stunned.

What have I gotten myself into??
