RUIN YOUR DATE.
Anita's POV
I wished the ground could just open up and swallow me whole. What on earth was I thinking taking up such a proposal I knew there was no way I could bring her down stairs, but I had a slight hope that things would get better and that slight hope gave me the morale to accept the proposal.
I knew I had to do something,all my life I had been shrinking and running away from responsibilities but it was time I did something.Even though I would fail in the mission I would feel fulfilled knowing that I tackled the knowing that I disnt chicken out from the problem. When I came into Izzy's room the first thing I noticed was that it was dark.The only source of light was a half opened window.I could make out a dim outline of someone's legs .I didn't need any psychic to tell me that ,that was Izzy's legs.
"Hi,"I called out to her. I didn't get a response from her. Maybe she didn't hear me , she didn't respond so I decided to call her out again, but still didn't get a response .I immediately knew the odds weren't on my side ,I contemplated on whether I should put on the lights or no.
It was obvious Izzy was a loner, so she probably values her alone time and privacy more than anything
which I’m about to invade and am guessing it wont go well but I had to do it anyway since I cant garab her attention in the dark.
I searched frantically for the switch on the wasll and when I found it ,thanked the lord that I didn’t stumble npor braek anything on the way.
Once I turned on the light ,I squinted my eyes from the sudden light which brought life to the once dark lifeless room.
‘’Hi’’I coughed awkwardly when huge firce burning amber pair of eyes focused on me making me wish there was an ejector seat that could throw me outta here.Izzy lay on her bed , her legs crossed togetheras she listened to some music through her headphone while casting what I would intercept as what –the-hell look at me.
I couldn’t read her emotion casuse she put on this strict poker face so,I couldn’t tell if she was very angry ,irritated or whatever else she’s feeling at that moment that I interrupted her quiet time.
‘’Hey,I know…I know this is wied but my name’s Anita ‘’I introduced myself when she removed her headphone from her ears which was a good sign but she’s willing to listen to whatever I had to offer.
‘’I know this might sound weird too but how do I know you?”Izzy asked looking at me with a new kind of curiosity I couldn’t exactly place as a goodthing or bad thing.
‘’P-probably not’’I chuckeld nervously ,knowing if she did know me it would be she’ve witnessed me in the stret crying from heartbreak or frustration.
That’s just how pathetic my life is.
‘’I have an cute and active memory much better than the average human,you included.so I don’t speak vainly’’Izzy boosted as I scoffed inwardly , the arrogance of the girl.Just whaen I was about to lecture her on the word manner a memeory flashed on my mind and I gasped in disbelief.
‘’Seeing your shocked expression’’
Izzy said climbing off her bes and moving towards me with a cocky smile on her lips ‘’I’ll assume you’ve regained your memeory’’
‘’You’’I gasped once more thanking the universe fpor helping me out this time.I fogot our meeting so soon cause I neer knew or expected meeting her again.
I met izzy in a convenience store where she was caught shoplifting but I saved her ungrateful butt by lieing that she was my niece and wasn’t stealing but helping me shop for some stuffs I couldn’t find.
By hidng them in her jacket?
Well ,I made up a a lot of blah blah blah excuses which got her freed and did I forget to ad the numerous apology I made on her behalf which she didn’t even thank me for.
‘’So what are you doing in my palce, specifically my oom?’’
‘’Ok ,I might have gotten into some trouble which ou have absolute power to save me ‘’I said beating around the bush hoping she’ll get a hint of what I was trying to say since she claims to be some Goddess of knowledge.
‘’I might be a genius but I need a little more details to solve this ridiculous puzzle of yours ‘’The intellectual snob practically snorted at me and might I remind you that this snob of a being is aten year old manner lacking girl who happens to b the daughter of Nik,the sexy god I was droling over hours ago.
Could this night get any worse?
‘’Well I um…I ….you know…’’
‘’I wont know anything if you wont spit it out already ‘’She hiss-yelled at me.Well couldn’t blame her o that one since I irritate people a lot with my procrastination.
‘’well there’s this bet ,so if I can get you downstairs for the party I’ll end up being your nanny but if I fail.I’’ll end up being your uncle ‘s date for the night which wont go well with your father’’
‘’whoah,Whoah ,whoah, what-the-hell….’’Izzy screamed out of shock or excitement?I couldn’t tell.
‘’Let me get things straight ‘’She said squinting her eyes and going into thinking mode ‘’You made a deal with the old man to get me down for dinner in exchange you become my nanny while if you fail you become my uncle’s date?’’
I nodded positively,
‘’Why the deal ? let me guess ,it became competitive?””
I stared at her in horror’’Hoe did you know?You definitely kno stuffs a aten year old shouldn’t ‘’
With her arms folded ,Izzy circled me saying .’’I don’t know whther I should take that as a compliment or a sarcasm but once you meet my cousin Annabelle ,You’ll be thankful for my existence’’
Curious ,I asked ‘’You lnow Annabelle?’’
‘’Yeah I think so”
‘’You think so?”
I asked horrified .
