A SHE LIVES HERE

After washing the vegetables, Silvia asked," Is there anything else that I can do?"

Placing the knife down, Kevin crossed his arms and kept on staring at her.

Picking up the knife, Silvia gently pushed him aside and started chopping the onions.

Without waiting any further, Kevin dashed out of the kitchen.

After sometime Kevin dashed inside the kitchen and asked," Silvia what did she say?"

Without giving him any face, Silvia kept on chopping the onion.

" Silvia I asked what did she say?" Kevin asked. 

When Silvia did not answer, Kevin grabbed her shoulders and asked," Good lord woman will you tell me what did she tell you?"

Jerking his hands off, Silvia said," She told me that she will come here tomorrow morning to get her things from your room and also she has asked you not to touch her suitcase that is kept under your bed."

Pausing for a while, Silvia said," One more thing. She said that you don't have to get up early in the morning waiting for her because she has the keys and can enter and leave this house whenever she wants."

Running his fingers through his silky smooth hair, Kevin asked," So you think I lied to you?"

Silvia did not say anything and kept on chopping the onion.

" Silvia keeping quiet is not going to help. We have to talk to sort things out." Kevin said.

" There is nothing to talk about. Your ex left a message for you and I just passed it on. Now will you stop talking and concentrate here. We have guest coming over tonight." Silvia said.

Without wasting a single second, Kevin grabbed Silvia's hand and dragged her outside.

" Kevin What are you doing?" Silvia asked.

Without saying anything, Kevin took her towards their bedroom.

....

Inside the bedroom.

Stopping in front of the king sized bed, Kevin said," Squat."

" What?" 

" Squat." Kevin said before placing his hands on her shoulder and pushing her downwards.

Squatting down along with her, Kevin lifted the sheet up and asked," Do you see any suitcase here?"

Silvia pursed her lips and slowly shook her head.

" Now look around. Do you think that any woman has ever stayed in this room?" Kevin asked.

" How will I know that?" Silvia asked.

Grabbing her hand, Kevin dragged her outside the room.

...

Inside the guest room.

" This was room where Emily used to stay." Kevin said.

Pausing for a while, Kevin asked," Now you tell me does this room look like a woman's room? And does our room looks anywhere near this?"

Looking around one could easily say that a woman has really lived inside the room for a really long time. The walls of the room had girly wall stickers on it. The colour of the bed sheet, the curtains and the pillow cases were shouting 'A SHE LIVES HERE'. They were of bright pink colour which was actually quite unpleasant to one's eyes. The mirror had pink sticky notes stuck on them. The bedside table had a cute little bunny shaped alarm clock and a chicken soup for healthy life placed on it. The dressing table was covered with cosmetics. 

Walking towards the bed, Silvia squatted and lifted the sheets up.

She unknowingly breathed sigh of relief when she saw a pink suitcase.

" Now do you believe me?" Kevin asked.

Getting up Silvia lowered her head and said," I am sorry. I was angry because I thought that you lied to me on our first day so I got a bit agitated."

Kevin sighed and said," It's fine I understand how you must have felt but keeping quiet won't help. If you ever have any doubt regarding anything, you have to come straight to me and talk it out. See talking to each other helps."

Silvia nodded her head and said," I'll keep that in mind."

" And about the keys, I have already changed all the locks few days back. So you don't have to worry about that. She won't enter this house without your permission." Kevin said.

Biting her lower lip, Silvia slowly nodded her head.

" Now Stop being jealous and help me in the kitchen." Kevin said before walking outside.

Silvia frowned and said," Hey I am not being jealous."

Kevin chuckled and said," Okay."

" You- why are you chuckling like a Chucky?" Silvia shouted.

Kevin shook his head and said," Chucky doesn't chuckle Mrs Green, Chucky haunts and kills. And if Chucky chuckles at you, you can consider yourself dead."
