Housemates - Part 1

"Mark my words! I am going to help you but you can't take advantage of me. I don't care whether you are delusional or telling the truth but once I find the way out of this so-called mystery of yours, we will see what is going to happen.

For sure I will be the one that is going to be right here, there is no such thing called demons in this world.

Until then I think we both must enter a set of rules. I will help you find a way out of your problems if you can let me stay here for a little while until I find somewhere to live."

She spoke those words ignoring all those words that she told loud and clear a moment ago but compared to Daniel she was more than desperate. She had nowhere to go and even if she managed to find somewhere to stay there was no way for her to make the ends meet with the responsibilities that were on her shoulder.

The best idea that came to her mind was to stay with him using the fact that she saved his life, but all her thoughts came to an end when he behaved like someone who lost their head.

But she could see right through him, she knew that he meant no harm from the beginning. "It was that he wanted to find out whether I was the girl he liked," she told herself trying to calm herself down.

"You can stay here," he said.

"I will show you your room, I am sorry about how I acted before. It's not like I wanted to do so. I really thought that you were her, whether you are her or not I am going to respect your decisions."

"I will have my butler arrange everything for you when he comes back, if you have anything other than the basic stuff a girl needs, you can write a list and give it to me. I will get them for you," he spoke in a calm manner.

He got up on his legs managing to cope up with the pain, though it wasn't hurting much as it did a moment ago he knew that the dagger had some other effect on him.

He walked out of the room to the far end of the corridor and opened a door with the key he had. In his pocket.

"You can stay in this room, it is pretty far from my room, I wish this will make you feel a little bit better. There is everything you need in this room, and there is a door that opens to the outside garden if you want to take a walk."

"But before everything I need you to tell me what you are going through. I can take you in only if you tell me this."

"My situation is not that complicated," she said looking down at the ground being a little bit embarrassed as her thoughts told her that he is going to look at her differently after hearing her story.

It was not like she couldn't tell him her story it was just that she couldn't manage to bare up with the aftermath of it, the so-called best friends of hers that she had before never looked at her the same way as they did after hearing her story.

The only thing that could be brought out through the story was the fact that she was poor and should work hard to support her family amidst going to university.

but there was also a part to her story that she couldn't unfold with him.

"Let's talk in your room," he said stepping into the room, "you are taking way too much time than what is expected you to take, which hints to me that your story is going to be a little long but interesting."

"It's alright whatever it is you can tell me I just want to know your story because I need to know it in case I have to take any measure to protect you during the time that you are with me.

I am not that concerned with this matter but my butler is so I need a little bit of a convincing answer, whatever it is, whether it is a sad story or it doesn't make any sense you can tell me it. Whatever it is I will not let anyone else bother you in any way.

So in order for me to protect you, I need you to tell me the true story behind your hesitation to go back to the place you were staying."

"It's not that of a bad story as you are expecting it to be," she said taking a seat on the bed while looking at him who was sitting at the table.

"There isn't much to tell you about my life, I think I told the most of it while you were scaring me to death.

The reason why I can't go back to the place is that I couldn't pay my rent for a few months now, and the landlord is a complete jerk and a thug. He ended up telling me to go to an escort bar and earn the money for him.

Because he was trying to force me to do it, I escaped from my house without any of my belongings. I couldn't even dare to look back at that place, but I have to return tomorrow and take my belongings out of that house I was living in, it doesn't really have to be all of it, there is something very precious and dear to me in that house once I get it out I will have nothing to worry about."

"Care to explain what that precious thing of yours is? If you tell me I will go and get it for you tomorrow."

"Do I really have to explain that to you? She asked not wanting to let out any of her private information to him."

"Alright then, I just wanted to ask you. It's not like I am interrogating you right now. I was just trying to help you with it."

"But if you want me to I can accompany you tomorrow," he said finally standing up.

"But I think we have something else to be concerned about right now!" Luna said smelling the air.
