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?

I momentarily go numb at her words. I know for a fact she was teasing but they made my body go stiff, I glance at her and there was a smile plastered on her face. For some minutes I was drawn by her smile, it made me want to smile as well but I couldn't bring myself to do that. I wasn't destined to be happy from the start, my fate is messed up. She's the first feisty woman I have ever come across and she never bothered what flies out of her mouth.

"I'm not a fraud," I said absently, my eyes returned to the windshield. Staring at the beautiful night pass by. "I dislike talking about me."

"I don't know why you hate that, why you are so uptight or withdrawn but you don't have to go haywire each time that question is thrown at you. People are still gonna ask that no matter how much you avoid it."
