Why is it so dark in here?"
" I mean my room shine brightest."
"But why is my room dim today?"
Lei wondered as she tossed and turned searching for her phone. One thing was for sure, the bed was so comfortable today. "
I guess it is not about the exhaustion that I was feeling but maybe the aftermath of the unfinished sleep I took at Aunty's" she thougt and blinked as she opened her eyes.
"Is it still at night?"
" am I dead and in heaven?"
absolutely not because heaven is a pure glow. I am not sure, but that is what most people say.
Well, for those who believe in heaven and hell. And I do.
Then,
" I must be in hell."
" sure you are" a voice spoke from the distance and Lei felt the curtains move and the first thing she saw was a beaming sun, shining its rays right through her face and a glowing Human being at the windows.
" It's heaven, pure bliss" she thought as she used her palm as a shield to the invading light.
"Wake up princess Pinky, your business is over" the deep voice said again
"what?"
" take your suitcase and get the hell out of my house?"
Whoa! Heaven couldn't get much better, but do they use the world hell? Nada. Lei took time to examine her surroundings, she was clearly not a morning person. Her mom was right. She could agree to being kidnapped when she is asleep and she would grant the kidnapper her body and soul the moment she was woken up early in the Morning. Lei couldn't care less, she have been always on her own, so it is for the better because nobody talks to her early in the Morning.
But the Angel there, must be awesomely happy for her.
Mr Anderson was now annoyed to the extent of wanting to pull the girl out of the bed and throw her outside, he looked at her and the way she opened her eyes, blinked and covered her eyes with the palm as if she was laying on a beach and enjoying the scenery, he couldn't care less, but the lady here is making him waste time. He have lost a lot already, so he wasn't up for losing more of his time.
Leaning in Mr Anderson took a hold of the duvet he had placed on her when he saw her shivering at night and threw it aside,
" Damn it."
Lei rolled with it and fell down with a thud
"Ouch! Ouch!"
She immediately stood up ready to strike whoever was the intruder. Raising her fist to punch whoever did that to her. Mr Anderson caught it mid air and now her eyes were wide open. She looked at him, her fist caught up in his hand without difficulties , she examined the couch she was sleeping on , the duvet and back at Mr Anderson face.
"Holy molly" she said as realization hit her, "dear Aunty, why couldn't you stop me from coming here" she said as embarrassment covered her again infront of this pigtail crazy handsome man and her face turned a hot pink.
" don't you think you should pay for your night sleep here?" Mr Anderson asked with a serious face.
" Good morning sir, have a very good day sir" Lei said as she grabbed her suitcase that was tucked in the corner and she ran for her life. Opening the door, it was locked, she continued her trial of opening it, but it was in vain.
" payment first"
"What? Why?"
" you slept in my house without my permission, what if I was a serial killer?
"it would have been the best option for me" Lei thought because the way she was feeling now was beyond a person six feet down.
" ohhhh, uhhm okay." Lei said as she searched her pockets for her pulse.
" I don't have any money on me, lost my pulse"
" Oh sad to hear" Mr Anderson said sarcastically and snickered
" wow, you just snickered at me, are you for real?"
" you seem to ask that question a lot, no, I am for fake pinky"
Anderson said turning to leave the room into his business.
"wait"
" I can tell you where I work and I will compensate you handsomely",
"And I mean it, I am so sorry for intruding your home last night. The couch was so comfortable for me I guess.." she said non stop as Mr Anderson is stuck in his tracks listening to her barbering nonsense.
"Alright, your card?"
" I don't have it"
" how can I believe you work there then"
" You haven't heard where I even work, how can You be so untrusting?"
"Ha trust?"
"Okay, I work at Miller's corporation, so you know that is a big name and I can not dare disgrace it"
" I swear, that is where I work, come by, on Monday and we will sort everything right." She added hesitantly as the guy looked at her untrustingly.
" look, why are you even charging me, you could have woken me up." She said looked down at her feet, because in her defense he could have thrown her outside, it is his house.
Mr Anderson smirked listening to her whine about charges, she clearly was stupid to think this is all about money. He clearly needed no penny from her father's dirty money. But she wouldn't know.
" your name?" Mr Anderson asked calmly
" what do you need it for?" Lei said glaring straight at him in anguish.
" just come by on Monday, I will know what to do with you."
"You sure?"
" never been sure than now" she said as she turned to gesture at the door , signaling him to open it.
" it's already open". Mr Anderson told her as she looked flabbergasted by the sentence, because she is too unaware of when and how he opened the door.
" Have a great day..."
" Cutter, call me Cutter"
"Have a great day Cutterrr.. she slurred the name and Mr Anderson rolled his eyes.
