I'M ALL EARS

They kept kissing and the lady was even yanking off his shirt when I cleared my throat. They both stopped and turned towards me, surprised looks on their faces and Gérard chuckled and out of nowhere he packed his hair into a ponytail and took back his black long sleeve on top of the sofa and wore it. While the lady was fretting, as she put on her clothes, she glared at me. Yeah, yeah. I know that look and besides, I wasn't the one that told you to not lock the door. Slutty bitch.

What the heck?

"Who is she?'' She folded her hands on her chest, as she sneered at me.

"Don't worry about that. Can you step out, please? I will talk to you later,' Gerard said and the lady stared at me, from head to toe and hissed. Putting on her heels and then, she walked out of the sitting room.

"I'm sorry about that. You didn't have to see that,' he said as he gestured to me to take a seat opposite him. I was nervous. But, I tried my best to not show it and I sat down on the sofa. This is pretty awkward and I feel like I came here at the wrong time and moment. Remembering the woman, he just kissed on the lips was disgusting and annoying. How many women has she kissed and slept with like that? I feel this anger within me, it's not my concern, who he kisses and sleeps with. But, I just felt hurt, because of what I just saw and my brother was right.

He's wealthy and a playboy. I should just be careful of him. How am I going to live in the same house with someone like this?

"I'm still sorry, you had to see that and...'

"Don't worry about it. It's normal and I'm not a child.' I said as I faked a smile.

"Are you sure?'

"Yes, I'm sure,' I nodded. There was silence for a few seconds, this was getting awkward, and Gérard popped up a question.

"Alright. So when are you always going to be free from school and your brother wants me to teach you and help you in your studies. I hope that's ok with you?' He asked.

"It's OK with me. I don't have a problem with you teaching me. And, should I always come in the evening for the lessons, because that's when I'm mostly free.' I said and he folded his legs across each other and looked at me. "Where are your results?'' He asked and I quickly opened my bag and brought out the results. Getting up from the sofa. I stretched my hand to give it to him and he collected it and glanced at the results. After a few seconds, "We are starting the lessons tomorrow and that should be the moment you close from your school, you can come here immediately and then, we will start the lessons.' He said as he kept looking at the results. "What time is the school closing?' He inquired.

"The school will be closed in three weeks and...'

"Really. That's so fast.' He said, as he dropped the results at the table beside him and chuckled.

"Yes,' I replied. Really, fast?'

"Your results are not that good. But, you are trying.' He said.

"I know. That's why Nicolas wants you to teach me, so I will be able to pass my exams,' I feel so embarrassed. Have you ever been in a situation, in front of someone you once had a crush on and that person sees your failures? It's kinda shameful. Especially, when you want to act all nice and cute. Well, not for Gérard.

"Wait a sec. Are you still at the hostel?'

"Yes, I'm still at the hostel and once the school closes, everyone will go home and I think that's why Nicolas wants me to stay at your place.' I smiled nervously. What am I even saying?

"I think so, too. Well, Nicolas wants you to move in today and I wasn't expecting you to be here this early.' He said.

"What!!! I exclaimed.

"Yes, he wants you to move in today. He told me when he called me earlier?' He elaborated.

"He didn't tell me that and school hasn't closed yet, and I haven't even packed up my things.'' I said.

"Don't worry about that. You can send my driver to pack up your things and...'

"I can't do that,' I interrupted. "It's my privacy and I was supposed to wait till school closes.'

"Ooh, do you have a boyfriend already?' He asked, smirking at me.

"I don't have one,' I quickly replied.

"Really. You seem so eager to stay until the school closes. If it's because of your boyfriend, let me...' I cut in.

"It's not that. I don't have a boyfriend and I was just thinking about my friends at the hostel.' I sighed.

"Why are you sighing? Are they just your friends at the hostel,' he said, still smirking.

"I just sighed and it didn't mean anything.' I pretended to pout. Why, him of all days.

"So, have you dated anyone before.' He asked. Why was he asking me these types of questions anyway?

"No, I haven't.'

"Why?' He raised both his eyebrows and stared at me.

"I...I haven't found the right one.' I said silently.

"The right one,'

"Of course. I'm waiting for Mr Right?' I said and then, he burst out laughing. Well, I didn't like the way he was laughing and that was kind of grating on my nerves. It was like he was mocking me or something.

"Sorry.' He stopped laughing and then he smiled at me. "I didn't mean to laugh, but that was funny?' He said.

"How long have you known my brother,' I asked. I needed to change the Topic. I didn't like where the conversation was going. I don't want to end up telling him that I'm a virgin and I've never had a boyfriend.

"For years?' He replied, and then, he took out his cigarette from his pocket.

"Years?'

"Yep.' He replied.

"Are you from Spain,' I asked.

"Yes, I'm from Spain?'' He took a lighter and lit the cigarette. I didn't know he smokes. He didn't look like someone that smokes and he seemed so clean. He put the cigarette on his lips and began smoking it. 'Am I disturbing you with this smoke?' He raised a question.

"No! It's okay.' I said. "But, you don't look like someone from Spain, although you speak the language so well.'

"Is it because of my eyes?'

"Yes. And, not only that, your skin too.' I said.

"I see. That'd be nice, do I look handsome.' He chuckled.

"Yes, you are handsome and you look different from the Spanish kind,' I pretend to roll my eyes at him.

"Is that bad?' He kept chuckling as he removed the cigarette from his mouth and blew out the smoke.

"No, it's not bad. It's cool?' I said nervously.

"Well, thank you.' He smiled and took the cigarette into his mouth again.

"You are welcome. And, I want to ask you for a favor and I know this isn't the right time, but I still want to ask you?'

"OK. Go ahead. I'm all ears?' He said.

"I want to look for a Job?'' I said.
