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?

DINNER

𝑁𝑖𝑛𝑜

The evening was calm but the roads were alive, the lights emitting from the street lights and billboards made the environment have a neon colour associated with it. I tightened my grip on my steering wheel, my eyes fixed on the streets to Beverly Hills. I guess my words made him change his mind, he never wanted to come along.

"Joana invited us to dinner," my words halted him, and he spun to look at me. "Her husband is back from prison and he wanted to apologise for what happened...." I trailed off when he didn't say a word, his numb and brooding gaze lingered on me and I lost the will to continue.

One thing for sure is that he's gonna refuse and I was right.

"I'm not interested," he said curtly and trudged through the stairs.
