HER ADDICTION

What do you think you are doing?' She abruptly stood to her feet, pushing the man away from her. 'And who are you? What are you doing in my house and kitchen?' The unknown man rose to his feet, wearing a puzzled look. "Your house? Your kitchen?" "Yes," Nino tried to sound confident even though mere looking at him sent cold blood down her spine. "A burglar won't be treating himself to dinner so who the heck are you?" "I should be asking you this," his cold impassive voice came again. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" After being cheated on by her boyfriend. Nino learnt her house has been sold to a complete stranger, the news of her parent's house being sold by the man her parents borrowed a loan from and couldn't pay back before their death. The news hit Nino Peterson to the core. She swore to take back her parent's house but when she realized the amount the man bought her house, she knew she couldn't pay him on time or send him packing either. So the two reached a compromise that she will still live in her parent's house until she was able to pay back the amount the man paid on her house. But will she be able to live under the same roof with a man knowing he's a complete stranger and the atmosphere will not be the same anymore? And when she also learns the truth about the man living under the same roof with her, would she be able to deal with it?

LAST NIGHT

Nino

I cowered down. Leaning my body and ear against the door to detect a sound if he was still there. I heard clacking sounds on the stairs. A relief sigh escaped me as I rose to my feet. Honestly, I don't know how to face him and for some reason, I asked myself why i'm running away from him. I didn't kiss him, he was the one who did.

No point hiding away from him. I braced myself and opened the door. I walked out with my heart battering against my chest. I didn't see him in the hallway and his door was shut. I smiled even though I feel embarrassed about what happened now.

'That was close,' I sighed.

"What was close?" I jumped back when I heard his voice behind me. I turn and saw him casting me an inquisitive look. His right brow was pulled up in a query.

"Can you quit doing that?" I forced the words out but avoided eye contact. "Why do you keep sneaking up on me?"
