Love and Deceit

Hearing a knock on the door, actually two knocks, I made a hand sign to Gustavo's ghost to halt from speaking. As if anyone but me can hear him speak. Hahaha.

"Shh!" I placed my index on my lips to pass the message across one final time, before opening the door.

"Hahaha," he laughed, "But why are you surprised?" He questioned, walking past me with an air of pride.

'Such arrogance! I didn't even say it was okay to come in'.

Shutting the door, I walked him to the balcony, the ghost guy tagging along. Hm, I think he deserves a sort of nickname, maybe G. G or something, I don't know. But kindly drop your suggestions in the comment section after reading. ("...")

His interrogation put me a little off, because how was it his concern?

"I appreciate your concern, alright," I began, "But Belinda and me? We are fine and communicate perfectly!" I informed him.
