Luna's POV
I tossed and turned in bed, tired of hearing the chirping of the birds.
As i turned to lay on my side, the blinding rays of the sun shot through the shades, hitting me right on the eye. Squinting, i stretched before pulling the duvet off my body.
I slipped my feet into my flops beside the bed, walked towards the window and pulled the shades open, taking in the sweet fragrance of the breeze that blew across.
Just then, I remembered that Mark's room was directly opposite mine. I bit my lip as an idea struck me. I walked out of my room and sauntered over to the door opposite. I wanted to knock but stopped when I noticed that the door was slightly opened. I slowly pushed it open and tiptoed into the room but to my surprise, there was no one in the room.
Where could he have gone? I wondered. I sighed and turned to leave but stopped when my eyes fell on the pictures of Mark which was plastered all over the wall. He looked so handsome and innocent, no wonder he managed to drive my sister crazy.
And right now, he is trying to make my life a living hell. I sauntered over to the picture and smote it lightly. "You jerk. I feel like strangling you, how could you bring me to your house and didn't even bother to check if I'm alright or not. You look so innocent but you are.."
I couldn't even finish the sentence when a voice stopped me. "What are you doing in my room?"
I froze immediately with widened eyes. Jeez, how did he even get into the room without making any noise or giving me hint.
I slowly turned around to see him staring at me. I widened my eyes in shock, his body was bare and a white towel hung tightly on his waist. I was so shocked that I let out a scream.
He quickly rushed to me and covered my mouth as I struggled to set myself free." Have you lost it? Are you trying to draw attention to us and give people the wrong impression?" He spoke with his jaw locked and only his lip moved.
When I noticed that he wouldn't let me go, I kept quiet and stared at him while he glared back.
Finally, he uncovered my mouth and popped the question. "What are you doing in my room ?"
"I..I...I..you" I couldn't think straight with him being this close hovering over me like a predator playing with it's prey before the kill. His tantalizing scent attacking my nostrils, making me want to inhale deeper.
"Did you come to take a shower with me?" He asked, enticingly.
I gasped and moved away from him. "Why are you so shameless? Can you at least put on some clothes?" I pleaded.
"Why am I shameless? Are you kidding me? This is my room and I can do whatever I please in it. . The question should be, why did you shamelessly sneaked into my room to come take a peek at my broad shoulders and muscular body" He bragged, showing off his muscles.
I scoffed. " Just shut up. I didn't come for that" I snarled.
" Really?. I believe you" He gave me a fake smile as he walked towards his large closet.
" Seriously I didn't come for that. Just believe me" I insisted. I don't know what is wrong with me? Why am I even explaining things to him. I don't care if he believes me or not.
" You know what? I don't care if you believe me or not. I came here because I want us to talk but you have to put on your clothes first"
" Who said I'm interested in hearing whatever you say?" He sneered. " You can leave now, I'm already late for work"
I shot him a dead glare and crossed my arms across my chest. " Well, you will have to listen to me or I will let out a scream and tell everyone that you are trying to force yourself on me"
He paused and turned to me. " And what made you think they will believe you?" He scoffed.
" Should we give it a try?" She asked wearing a serious face.
Why is she so confident?. I would have loved to see how all this would end but I couldn't take the risk. I don't want dad's drama. I'm sure he is looking for an opportunity to brag about how responsible his step son is and how useless I am.
"What do you say? Should I give it a try?" I insisted.
" No need for that, I'm not in the mood for your childish play" He snarled. " So what do you want to discuss?"
I smiled. " I don't have good clothes. Can you get me some nice clothes, shoes and jewelries?"
He burst out laughing but stopped when he noticed that I wasn't laughing. " Wait. Isn't this some kind of joke?"
" No. I'm serious"
" You got to be kidding me. Why would I do that?" He snarled.
Is that even supposed to be a question? Aren't you supposed to be a nice person? Even your sister said so. I wanted to say but he beat me to it.
He continued. " First, I gave you an accomodation and now you're trying to ask for more?. Do you think I run some kind of charity organizations here" He snapped.
I know he would say this. I'm only left with option B.
" Fine. You don't run a charity organization but you will definitely not refuse a business proposal. Or would you? "
He raised his eyebrows. " What business proposal?"
I cleared my throat. "Have you ever thought of employing someone who would protect you from harm just the way I did yesterday?"
"Bodyguard, you mean?"
"Nah, that sounds disrespectful. Guardian angel will do"
He threw his head back in shock. " Wait. Are you trying to say you want me to employ you as my bodyguard and pay you?"
I nooded positively. "Exactly, you're smart"
He paused and suddenly burst out laughing.
