~▪︎■HOUSE NUMBER~10■▪︎~

"This is your new rental house miss, house number 10" Mathew - the houseowner - said.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Simon" i said with a grateful smile.

"My pleasure, Miss Lorraine" he chatised.

"And remember you will be sharing this house with one person-

"No problem" i muttered, without paying much attention to what he was saying.

He gave me the keys of the rental house and then left. I unlocked the door and opened it, inhaling sharply through my nose.

I entered in the house and froze. It was a mess, a complete and utter mess, empty pizza boxes and cans were lying here and there. The carpet was stained due to the drinks that were scattered on it. It looked like someone had a party here last night and that this place wasn't cleaned for years.

The house was quite big.

I put my trolly bag there and started exploring my new house which was a mess not to mention. The kitchen was huge and the whole kitchen floor was covered with rubbish, not leaving any space to enter, but it was good excluding the garbage.

Then i went upstairs, there was a room which was mine. It was in a bad condition too, the bed sheet indicated that someone slept and on it, and it smelt awful.

I snorted after seeing a pair of bra and underwear with a pair of heels lying in the corner.

I returned downstairs to bring my trolly bag, then i saw a room, i haven't checked it earlier maybe due to the closed door.

I went to the door, and rotated the handle to find it unlocked. I opened the door slowly and stepped inside. This room was not in a good condition either, but it didn't had any party mess atleast.

A boy was sleeping on the bed, half covered in blankets. He wasn't wearing any shirt showing his perfect body, which was covered in tattoos.

I went towards the bed, tempted to take a closeup look. His hair was falling down his forehead, hiding his eyes. He had a slight tan from the summer. He was sleeping on his stomach.

My fingers were tickling to stroke his hair back from his eyes. I forwarded my hands to stroke back his hair-

"What the hell?!" He shouted, opening his eyes in the exact moment.

"Um...hi! Nice to meet you!" i blurted, looking down at my hands.

Did i just say that?

He gave me a confused look.

"What are you doing here?!" He yelled.

I didn't know what to say , then saw a photo of a toddler in arms of a young lady, on the nighstand. I didn't know what to say, so i pointed toward the picture.

He looked where i was pointing, and his eyes softened a bit. He then turned his attention back on me, and his eyes were back to furious.

"What about it?" he yelled.

"I have rented a room in this house, so i will be living here from now. I was just checking the house and i um.. i entered this room accidentally, and i saw this photo" i answered. Even i didn't know what i was saying.

"Didn't your mommy teach you that you should knock before entering somebody's room?!" He snarled.

"Listen Mr. Whoever you are, i didn't know that you were sleeping in here, otherwise i wouldn't have come in here" i snapped.

"Yeah, they all say the same thing" he muttered, smirking.

"What?"

"Nothing" he replied, standing up.

He was just in boxers, so i turned around, my cheeks turning red. He then came and stood in front of me grinning, i lowered my gaze to see that he has now put a black jeans on. Thank god.

"I am just sorry. I am here to live in this house, and i don't know whatever you are with my housemate, and i don't care. I was just checking the house and ended up waking you, by chance. I seriously don't want any trouble so, can you just forget all this?" i rambled.

He just smirked and leaned toward me, my eyes widened and jaw dropped. He then straightened up, and my cheeks heated up from embarassment, after knowing that he was leaning to pick his phone from the nightstand, not to kiss me. I am an idiot.

I left and returned to my room with my trolly bag. I heard a door open and close from downstairs, i sighed in relief knowing that he left. I changed the bed sheets,

and cleaned my room after that.

It was dark outside when i completed the task of giving my room a makeover. I headed downstairs and made myself dinner. I cooked cheese garlic bread due to the lack of grocery products in the fridge.

I ate three and left four for my housemate, whenever she returns. I then headed back upstairs, in my room, and layed down on my bed. I wasn't able to fall asleep.

It was 12 p.m. , i was on verge of sleeping, when the sound of opening and closing of door startled me. I didn't have the energy to meet my housemate so, i just stayed in my bed. The opening and closing of the fridge could be heard from upstairs due to the pin drop silence.

Tomorrow will be the first day of my college. I was pretty excited and nervous too. And i also have to clean this house.

I eventually dozzed off.
