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?

An uncomfortable silence ensued between us. He kept mute and I wonder why he must be taking so long to answer. A lot of negative thoughts revved my mind on why he isn't responding or meeting my eyes.

"If you go live with him," Daniel who was at the back of the passenger's seat broke the silence. "I'm still going to live with Mr grumpy."

"Mr Grumpy?" Marcus cast me a questioning look. "You gave him a name?"

"A bad one," I retorted.

"You never gave me one..." I know where this is going, is he trying to raise an argument right now? And he's deliberately avoiding my question.

"You haven't answered me either," I pressed on. "I can't move out if I don't have a place to go, your place is my alternate option so I can join you until I buy my house back."

"Not that I don't want you to come stay with me but you know my apartment is small and my rent is in due time....and also I'm moving out soon."
