Avoiding Eric

I sat on the bed With my both hands on my thighs as I watched him work on the door.

Staring at him working, I wondered how Eric was able to take such a door down all by himself, it was strange and incredible.

I sat on the bed and watched him work on the door until he was through.

''Thank you.'' I flashed him a friendly smile.

''It's nothing, I was just doing my job.'' saying those words, I Noticed him massaged the back of his neck nervously.

''I have to go.'' without letting me say a word, he went for his tools on the floor and quickly left the room.

Tiredly, I stood up from the bed and walked around the room as so many thoughts came to my mind, I rubbed my shoulders together as I felt a sudden cold in my body.

The cold was so much that I wonder what was going on.

I took in a deep breath and rubbed my hands together to generate heat to my body, but it wasn't working as I wanted it.

With cold feet, I left the room and took the stairs downstairs, I walked pass the sitting room and was grateful no one was in the sitting room, especially Eric.

I got to the Kitchen, plugged the coffee marker, on the switch and was about making a coffee when I Noticed the cook walking in.

Quickly, I moved away and licked my lips nervously as I Noticed him staring at the coffee marker.

''I'm sorry, I just needed some hot coffee.'' I spoke nervously.

He chuckled softly, shook his head and walked up to me.

''You don't need to apologize, okay.'' he flashed a warm smile at me

''Sit, I'll do it for you myself.'' he pulled out a chair from the table in the kitchen for me to sit.

''Thank you.'' I smiled weakly at him before taking the sit.

I placed my hands on the table and relaxed on the chair as I watch him make the coffee with so much ease.

''Here it is, hot as you want it.'' he placed the coffee on the table and smiled at me.

''Thank you.'' I smiled at him and rubbed my palms together before taking the cup of coffee from the table.

''Do you need anything like biscuits or snacks.''he asked while moving to the big cupboard

''No.'' I shook my head and took a sip of the coffee.

''Very well then, I'll leave you.''he flashed me a friendly smile before leaving the kitchen.

I took a few sips of from the coffee before I decided it was best I stay in my room, so I won't come across Eric.

Slowly I rose from the chair, picked up the cup of coffee from the table and left the kitchen.

I made my way out of the kitchen, walked pass the sitting room, and was about taking the stairs when I heard voices approaching the sitting room. I knew one of the voices was Eric, but I did not know who was the other guy with him.

Quickly, I hastened my steps on the stairs, so I could get to my room and avoid Eric and whoever he was talking to.
