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?

Nino

That's the point, why am I getting upset over the fact he was being so friendly with Kimberly?

'I don't know why am I getting upset,' I trailed off and hung my head low. My eyes met the floor and my cheeks heated up with embarrassment. Why do I care? It is his life, he has the right to be friends with anyone. Not like I should dictate who he should be friends with but for some reason, I felt that familiar bitterness in me recalling the way he placed his hands on hers and even smiled at her.

I shut my eyes for a brief minute, letting the humiliation destroy me completely. I licked my lips hoping this goes away. Hoping he ignores my words or better off reply to me with a mean answer but none of that was happening. Though I'm not looking at him, I can feel his lancing hazel eyes on me and it was dangerously affecting me. And the silence was so intense that I felt unclad under his inquisitive eyes.
