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?

SIT BACK AND FIGHT

Toro

The knocks discontinued and I heard her footsteps withdraw from my door. Growing distant. I let out a deep breath and channeled my focus on Kenny who had questions in his eyes. "You are not going open the door for her?"

"I almost ended her life today, Kenny." I said. "People get hurt because of me, I put them in danger. Kenny, I'm the problem, not the people."

He lifted a brow and threw me an odd look. "You are not the problem," he prompted after a minute of silence. "Don't blame yourself for other people's predicament. Toro, you are you and that's what matters."

"Yes, she almost got herself killed but you didn't put her life in danger nor did you made her do it? As a good neighbor, she saved your ass by risking her life. Man, I got to say I admire her courage."

"I'm talking about her life, Kenny. Why would she do that? She knows she's asthmatic yet she did it."
