Chapter 13
I woke up at 3am. I took a glance outside from my window sill and saw that it was still dark outside.
All traces of sleep had left me as i was feeling a little restless and feverish.
I put on a grey sweater with black sweatpants as i plodded down to the kitchen to get water. I poured water from the water dispenser into my cup and took in down in one gulp.
I placed the cup back on the counter and sluggishly went back to my room to get a blanket. I went back down to the living room, turning the Tv on as i sat on the couch with the blanket covering my whole body.
As i was busy watching Tv i heard a noise coming from the kitchen and then i slowly tiptoed to the kitchen sneaking my head by the door.
I knew it might have been a burglar so i took my blanket along with me and reached out to the closest thing beside me which was an iron rod.
I gripped it tightly and wobbled behind the kitchen door as the fearless girl i was.
I twisted the door knob slightly making sure not to make any noise and then i snuck my head into the kitchen to see a masculine figure standing by the counter.
It was dark so i couldn’t see the person clearly but i knew it was a burglar.
I was having thoughts of going to call Alex for help but that would only make him laugh at me and he wouldn’t even believe me, even if he did he’d be bragging about me being scared of a burglar and him helping me.
Wrong decision.
I made my way towards the figure and the person turned but i pulled my blanket over him just in time, trapping him in my blanket he groaned while i began to hit him with the rod in my hand, i continued to hit him as he screamed but i didn’t stop and payed deaf ears to his pleas.
“You love to rob people don’t you, today I’ll deal with you and this will be the end of your robbery career”I yelled as i continued to hit him.
“Robbery? Hey stop it Olivia”Alex groaned in pain as i was hitting him.
“Shut up Alex, I’m busy hitting the thief”I yelled back as i continued to hit him.
“Wait…… Alex?”I said unsurely as i withdrew myself from him as he was now lying on the floor, covered in my blanket.
“Yes, psycho why did you have to hit me like that, are you mad?”He groaned as he hesitantly got up to face me.
“And how would i have known it was you? I thought a burglar broke in”I yelled.
“You must be joking, you know that we’re two in this house so why would you mistake me for a burglar!”He yelled.
“Because you were sneaky, so i thought you were a burglar” I yelled.
“If you thought it was a burglar then why didn’t you go to my room to inform me?” He asked.
“Because i knew you are full of yourself and would probably take all the credit or even still, not help me”I said.
“Now that’s ridiculous, so even if it was a burglar, do you think you could capture a real burglar with your stupid blanket and rod? what if he was armed?”He asked.
“Well, I’d have handled it anyway, at least i did something”I said.
“Come on Olivia, i thought you were smarter than this, you and i both know that this neighborhood has s very tight security so how would a burglar get in?”He asked.
“Even the most secured places can still be robbed, some burglars are really talented in their work, and besides what are you even doing down here by this time?”I asked.
“I was feeling thirsty and i was about to drink water when someone hit me like a thief”He said humorously.
“Hey don’t blame me! I didn’t know it was you, you were creepy so how did you expect me to know you were down here?”I asked.
“That’s your business, i was only quietly coming here to take water because i didn’t wanna wake you and have to deal with your nonsense, but seems my effort was in vain, here you are, pestering me as usual”He said.
“Hey don’t talk to me like that, i didn’t know okay?”I said.
“What are you even doing down here awake by this hour?”He asked.
“I was feeling restless so i came down to get water and then i started watching TV”I answered.
“Whatever, just look at the mess you’ve done, did you have to hit me so hard? what if i died?”He said, taking in his appearance.
“Fine, i apologize for that, i didn’t know you were the one, if not I’d have beaten you more than that for making my tension rise”I said, pointing the rod at him.
“Excuse me? so you’re not even remorseful about hitting me”He glared at me.
“Yes, infact I’m disappointed at myself, had i known it was you I’d have used something bigger” I said.
“Hey Olivia i won’t-”
“Keep your problems to yourself Williams, this is a warning, the next time yoy sneak about, so early in the morning, I’ll have your ass for breakfast”I said.
“Ai, my gorgeous babies” He whined pathetically touching his ass and i rolled my eyes at him.
“If you’re done with your melodrama then please, use the door” I said.
“Hey this isn’t your room, you can’t chase me out”He protested.
“Oh yes i can”I smirked and he scoffed at me before storming out of the kitchen.
***
After my drama with Alex, i had retired back to my room and finally slept surprisingly peacefully.
I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside and a loud music coming from downstairs.
I got up lazily from the bed and pulled my curtains open to view nature.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
After i was contempt with view outside, I lazily wobbled over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. It was a Saturday which means i have so much time to rest. After i had finished brushing my teeth, i went downstairs to the sound of a really loud music blaring out of a MP3 player, i was furious as i saw Alex dancing to the music not even noticing my presence.
I marched angrily to where he had placed the MP3 player and turned it off.
“Hey! what the hell!”Alex yelled and turned it back on.
I angrily turned it back off.
“Hey are you mad, can’t you see I’m dancing here?”He yelled and turned it back on.
This was the height of it.
I took the MP3 player smashed it woth force on the floor and it shattered in pieces all over the floor.
“Hey Olivia! Are you mad, who do you think you are to break my MP like that!”He yelled and i glared at him.
“Hey this isn’t your house where you can comfortably do whatever you wish to, this is my house and you don’t have any right whatsoever to be playing such loud music early in the morning”I yelled.
“And who said so? i remember when your parents told me very clearly that i should feel at home, they left us together in this house so i have as much right as you in this house, what is even your problem? if i play the music in the morning, at noon or at night, you’ll always have problem with it, you always find faults in whatever i do, I know we don’t like each other but at least have some manner and stay out of my matters”He spat.
“Look Alex, I don’t care what my parents told you but one thing we both know is that this is my house and not yours, so you should not act like it’s yours, why would you play music so early on a Saturday morning? are you nuts?”I yelled.
“I know why you’re doing this, you’re doing it purposely so that I’ll leave this house for you, but that won’t be happening because i will stay here and frustrate you, just you wait and see”He said as he started walking away but then stopped on his tracks “20 bucks for the MP”He added as he stormed away and i glared after him.
Just when as i was about to leave for the kitchen, i heard the door bell ring.
I went over to the door peeping through the peep hole to see who it was, i smiled when i saw our cleaner’s daughter Jasmine at the door.
I pulled the door open for her and was greeted by her million dollar signature smile.
“Hey Liv”She greeted.
“Hey Jasmine, long time no see, what are you doing here?”I said cheerfully as i sidestepped to let her in.
I shut the door behind her as we both went into the living room.
“Oh my mum’s not feeling too well so i came in place of her, i just came back yesterday”She said smiling.
“Okay Jasmine, that’s great, I’ve actually missed you though”I smiled.
“Me too Liv, can you please show me my work so I’ll do it quickly, i have an appointment somewhere”She said.
“Okay, it’s just the toilets, bathrooms and kitchen, there are five bedrooms”I said to her.
“Oh damn, so much work”She said.
“Yeah, it totally fits with the pay doesn’t it?”I teased.
“Yeah, 500$ weekly ain’t small, let me commence with the toilets”She said going upstairs and i nodded in return as i went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Alex’s POV
I was mad and infuriated at Olivia, she always just does things to get me really angry but i wasn’t gonna let this go easily.
I marched out of my room heading downstairs but then i bumped into someone.
“Oh I’m sorry”She apologized immediately and i stared at her smiling broadly.
She was a beautiful blonde girl with fit curves.
“Hey it’s okay”I smirked.
“Thanks”She said blushing as she turned to walk past me but i pulled her back.
“Hey I’m Alex by the way, what about you?”I asked.
“Um…… Jasmine”She said, staring at me wearily.
“Nice name for a hot girl”I smirked.
“Thanks”She curled her hair behind her ears as she played with her fingers nervously.
“So Jasmine, what are you doing here?”I asked.
“I’m here to um…. clean the house, I’m here in place of my mum”She said.
“Oh, okay”I said dryly.
“Do you live here?”She asked.
“Yeah”I replied.
“Oh, i haven’t seen you here before, are you perhaps Liv’s friend? I know she doesn’t have any cousins”She said.
She must know Olivia really well.
“Oh yeah, I’m not her cousin or friend…. well…… I don’t know how to place me and Liv’s relationship, we’re um….”
“Are you her boyfriend?”She asked.
“No no, never, impossible, we’re more like business partners”I said nervously.
“Oh, business partners, what kind of business partners if i may ask, i know Liv isn’t into any kind of business”She said.
“Um, what i mean to say is that we’re family friends, our parents are friends”He said.
“Oh, but i thought her parents travelled, so how come you’re here?”She asked making me already uncomfortable.
“Hey forget about this questions and introduce yourself properly to me, let’s talk about more important things”I smirked and she smiled back fiddling with her hair.
Liv’s POV
After eating, i went back to my room to shower and then changed into something lighter.
I was about to go downstairs when i heard moans coming from Alex’s room.
Who could be in Alex’s room by this time? As far as i was concerned, no one had come over today except Jasmine.
I went out of the room and snuck my head behind Alex’s room door to hear voices and i could hear giggling.
“That sounds like Jasmine”I muttered and then i angrily pulled the door open to see Alex naked with Jasmine beneath him as they were busy kissing.
“Alex!”I yelled and they immediately noticed my presence and covered themselves immediately. Jasmine quickly put on her clothes and ran past me outside the room.
I glared angrily at Alex and left without another word, running after Jasmine.
I caught up with her in no time and yanked her back to face me.
“Liv I’m-”
My hand landed on her face immediately and she groaned in pain.
“How dare you Jasmine? i thought you were here to work in place of your mum so what gave you the right to lay down your body for Alex, i thought you were different from the other girls, I’m really disappointed in you Jasmine!”I yelled angrily.
“Liv I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me”She said.
“Really? you don’t know what came over you? You fucking had sex with someone you don’t even know”I yelled.
“He’s a really hot guy and i just couldn’t refuse”She defended.
“Oh wow, so you could fuck any guy you see just because he’s handsome? this is the height of shamelessness, well you know, i don’t have anything to say to you, just get out of my sight now before i loose it!”I yelled.
“I’m sorry Liv, I don’t-”
“Get out!”I yelled, startling her and then she took on her heels running out the door.
