Episode 7

Moving in.

Scarlett

"What do you mean by you are leaving, you can't do that, I won't allow it" Naomi said and we have been arguing about this for the past two hours.

"You know am 23 and I think am old enough to make my own decisions"

"I am not doubting that one bit but I know you and there is no way you just wake up one morning and do things, you are a rational person. So tell me why are you moving out?" Naomi asked again.

I didn't have all the time in the world. Andrew told me he was going to be here by 7 and this was 6:56 and he was a punctual person, so I've heard. And I wasn't done packing.

"Nams. Relax. Okay, remember that guy I told you about, pervert, stalker. Yeah, so remember I told you he turned out to be my boss right? Yeah. So, I have to move in with him, not permanently but for a period of 6 months, work related though and after that, I'll be back".

She squinted her face as she looked at me. Then I heard a knock on the door. God!

"It's open" Naomi said then he came in

"Good day, how can I help you, we are quite busy here" Naomi said sounding a bit on edge

"Am Andrew Price" he said then turned and looked at me with a smirk forming on his lips

"Are you ready?" he asked

"Um can you give us a moment" I said. I was try9ing my best to not break this contract but Naomi was really pushing it.

"So you going to live with a guy that you are not comfortable with, huh" she said

"And what is wrong with that?" he asked

"nothing but a room full of hiccups" she said. I knew she was caring for me and it was already hard enough for me as I could not tell her what was really happening but this had to pull through.

"Nams, I'll be okay"

"Aren't you always" she said knowing that something was wrong and I act all though even though I wasn't.

We give each other a kiss on the cheek, then we hugged.

"Sweet heart wrap it up, I've got things to do" he said and my heart skipped for a very split second. Then ended my hug with Naomi.

She then walked up to Andrew and whispered something in his ear, don't know what but it made him smile and then when she was done she also smiled too.

When we got to his penthouse which was like a two hour drive from mine I was stunned. It looked so different from the last time I got here and that was because it was dark and I was drunk so I could barely notice anything. But his house was beautiful on the outside, the lawn was well mowed, the environment was peaceful, quiet and calm, the garden was beautiful and everything was nice. But when I got inside, my jaw drooped.

I shouldn't be drunk when entering this kind of houses, so if it's my last I would still have a picture of it in my head. He living room was spacious and comfy, he had a nice, well stocked kitchen and baking equipments and I was happy because I loved to cook and bake, I even squirmed when I saw the kitchen. He gave me this weird look but I couldn't help it, his place was damn fine.

He took me to one small sized store, called it a room, my room and wanted me to stay there for the next 6 months, when there were 6 empty rooms in this house. He is completely insane.

"Sorry can't do" I said and he gave me the come, again, say what! Kind of look.

"Boy, there are 6 extra rooms in this house, apart from the master bedroom you sleep in. So even though we are sworn enemies, am going to be staying here for the next 6 months, so the least you could do is make me feel comfortable. So, if you don't mind, I would like to call it a night, I have some room picking to do" I said all this standing meters away from him to avoid having hiccups. Then I started climbing the stairs.

When I had checked the rooms I picked on that was just the finest of all and it happened to be opposite to his room, the master bedroom. Believe me it's like heaven in here. There is no way this is a penthouse

As I was still taking a look at the room, I heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, don't break anything you can't pay for" he said and I just rolled my eyes. A few seconds later when I thought he had gone, I heard him clear his throat and mutter some words that sounded like,

Good night.
