Help me , Mister

Welcome, Housemate

Letitia's POV

I see his head snap to her direction so fast that I thought he might have whiplash . He snatches his arm away from her grasp while I prepare myself for everything that will be thrown my way. Will he let his girlfriend continue disrespecting? Will he kick me out of his house? I think I overstayed my welcome.

"Don't you dare disrespect her!", he says in the most dangerous and calm voice I have ever heard. My eyes widen and my hands start sweating again at his sharp and loud voice.

"But I was just-", he cuts her off and I think he enjoys cutting people off before they even finish their talk.

"No, Camilla! I didn't even invite you here so just leave.", he says rolling his eyes and looking at her with a bored bored expression on his face. I never thought someone rolling their eyes would be this sexy.

"W-what? You choose her over me ? I can't believe this.", she says disbelief clear on her voice. He just ignores her and puts his laptop bag on the table. I feel bad for her.

"You need me , Kazimir! Your image is trash without me.", she screams at him looking like she can attack anytime.

"Don't flatter yourself, please. Just leave before you embarrass yourself more. I need no one to help clean my public image, I am perfectly capable of doing that and you know it.", he says taking off his tie before throwing it on the couch and turns to her looking at her with a smug smirk.

"f**k you, Kazimir ! You will regret this , I swear!", she says walking away and she slams the door hard on her way out. I think it is broken and needs some fixing. We stay in silence for a minute until he breaks it.

"I'm sorry about that .", I jump a little when I hear his voice.

"It's fine. ", I say my voice coming out squeaky and I clear my throat with a little blush on my cheeks.

"I thought you would have left by now.", he says making my eyes widen and my heart clenches painfully that I forget to breath for a moment.

"O-oh? I j-just thought-", I manage to stutter out the words but he cuts me off. He likes cutting people off , I notice.

"That is not what I meant. Please don't take it the wrong way.", he says walking up to me and I start to panic a little. Where is he going ?

"I made dinner.", I say trying to stop him from getting any closer but he stops for a moment and starts approaching again.

"Really?You didn't have to.", he says taking off his suit jacket and rolls his shirt's sleeves to his elbows. I ogle at his arm's movement that I did not hear him speaking until he called my name.

"W-what ?", I ask and I am sure my cheeks are red in colour right now. I really have to control my hormones, it's like I am a teenage boy having a crush for the first time.

"I am tired and hungry so I really appreciate you cooking.", he says with a smile showing his one sided dimple and my heart melts at that. This man is hot without even trying.

"I will just heat it up and bring it for you.", I say walking to the kitchen fast so he won't be able to stop me. I enter the kitchen and take a deep breath to calm myself before heating up his food and bringing it to him.

As I enter the living room, I see him sitting on the couch with his hands at the back of his hands and in reclining position. I walk up to him slowly and see that his eyes are closed. I take a sit next to him but put a safe distance between us and call his name . He opens his eyes when I call him for the third time and looks into my eyes without even blinking.

"The food is ready.", I say snapping him out of his little daze. He looks at the food and smiles before looking at me. He looks happy right now and I want to keep that smile on his face always. He looks carefree and young when he smiles.

"Larisa told you ?", he asks looking at me with a grin on his gorgeous face.

"Well, yes . I couldn't have known your favorite food, I just met you.", I say looking at him with cheeky grin on my face.

"Unless you stalk me. People who have a crush on me do. ", he says eating his meal like a starved person. When last did he eat?

"Y-you think I have a c-crush on you?", I stutter looking at him with blushed cheeks and wide eyes. He turns his face away from his plate and looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

"You don't?", he asks with a serious expression on his face and I panic a little.

"I-", I try to defend myself but was cut off by his laugh. This is my first time hearing him laugh and it is a beautiful sound or maybe that is because I like him.

"I'm just kidding, relax. You should have seen your face though. Hilarious!",he says calming down from his laughing fit.

"Glad I amuse you.", I say with an annoyed expression on my face and he stops laughing.

"Awww! I'm sorry.", he coos with a little pout on his face. I never thought he would be this annoying but I like this playful side of him.

"No , you're not .", I say looking at him with a challenging look.

"You got me there. I am not.", he says putting his hands up in a surrendering gesture. I hate him!

"Whatever.", I say rolling my eyes at him. He finishes his food and takes his plate to the kitchen. I look at the time and gasp loudly.

"What is it ?", he asks with a confused frown on his face. When did he get here?

"I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for me. You saved me and opened your house for me even though you don't know me.", I say meaning every word .

"Anyone would have done that, no need to thank me.", he says and I don't agree with him there but I will just leave it at that. I don't have time to argue with him because I am sure he won't let me win.

"What happened to your neck?", my eyes widen at his question and my breathing becomes harsh. I don't want him know I am weak.

"I was-", he cuts me off as I try to lie to him and I feel my eyes water at that.

"Don't you dare think of lying to me, Letitia. ", he says in a growl and I notice that I hate it when he is angry at me.

"I will tell you , just please calm down and let us sit down.", I try to calm him and I don't know why I trust him so much. He listens and sits next to me on the couch while I play with my fingers. I tell him everything that happened from the beginning including the one my uncle sold my parent's house.

He holds me close while I narrate all that happened and he whispers reassuring words to me which proved to be really helpful. We stay silent after I finish and I can feel his hot breath on my neck. I shiver a little and my breath hitches. My head is on his chest while I listen to his heart beating and inhaling his cologne ,which is my favourite scent.

"You'll be staying here with me.", he says out of the blue playing with hair and I lean away from him so that I can see his face clearly.

"W-what ? No, I can't stay here any longer. That's taking advantage of your kindness.", I say to him but he is not hearing it. Stubborn man.

"I say you're not. You have nowhere to go and I have an empty room in my house which I am offering to you. ", we argue back and forth but this guy is just not giving up. I find a solution that I think will benefit the both of us.

"Fine! I will take the room but-", I clench my jaw when he cuts me off again.

"Why is there a but now ?", he asks cutting me off before I even finish and I hate that if I'm being honest.

"Don't cut me off! I will take the room but I will be paying rent.", I say with a smirk on my face.

"No, you won't. This house is mine. It's fully paid.", he says with his own smirk and mine falls.

"Oh? I will just buy groceries then.", I say letting out a sigh and feeling defeated.

"That is fine by me.", he says with a grin on his face and he extends his arms and takes my hand in a handshake.

"Welcome, housemate. ", he says with a cute smile on his face and I find myself smiling back.
