She pulled out of the water fast after five minutes of staying in there. Khalifa was literally surprised when she surpassed four minutes. When the heat overtook her ,she looked like a drugged person. Not in her normal self like she had been possessed by someone or thing. She inhaled deeply and fast filling her lungs with the air they needed. She pushed her hair away from her face and then held the side of the bathtub.
"Do you plan on killing me sometime?" She asked and looked at his tall figure leaning on the wall.
"No ,you needed to cool down" he simply replied and pushed himself away from the wall to leave.
"Thankyou" she simply didn't know what to reply. She walked out of the tub and followed right behind him ,not caring the drops of water she left behind her.
"You should go change now, it's cold" he said as he walked upstairs and she followed. She walked to the direction that he followed. The only way she could find her room by finding his.
"Why are you following me?"
"Your room gives me the bearing to mine ,thanks and goodnight" she simply smiled as he looked at her dress that hugged her body due to the wetness of the tub.
When she finally entered her room ,she went to the shower and turned it on. She relaxed in the shower, closing her eyes and thinking. She needed to control her emotions especially her anger. She didn't want to be thrown in cold water anymore. The feeling of water filling her lungs wasn't so good. She could die one day , trying to recover from the heat. Anyway why was she doing all this, because someone was possessig her being at times. What did they want with her.
"What do want from me?" She whispered to no one particular letting out an exasperated sigh.
"I want what was mine back" it was a faint whisper but she heard it clearly.
She stopped, what she was doing and blinked several time. Rinsing herself, she took a towel and looked around. Nobody was in there so what was that. Trying again.
"Who are you?"
She waited and waited but no response came. That was creepy,she left the bathroom and went to sleep. Praying for a good dream this time. And it happened.

"Good morning Khalifa" she asked as she cooked some eggs. He just nodded and welcomed himself a seat.
"What do you take ,coffee or tea?" She had cooked both not knowing what he liked.
"Coffee is good" she turned immediately so that she could serve him as she bit her lower lip. The morning voice was so deep and alluringly sexy. He was in a short and a vest.
"Why did you wake up so early?"
"Am already used to it ,where I was sta- no ,where I was" he just nodded but he noticed how she avoided to talk about where she used to be.
The real reason why she woke this early was do that she could at least have some company while taking breakfast. For such a lonely home ,she definitely needed some company.
"You know,you're such a calm and composed person compared to what I thought you were in the beginning" she said as she sat right across him , sipping her tea. Khalifa just looked up at her,
"What did you think of me?" He asked rather calmly.
"I thought you were a talkative person, but you're quirlet and you smile very rarely and....I don't know" she was trying to think of the characteristics of him.
"I don't like talking much unless am with my siblings and noisy birds early in the morning" he smiled a little at his new name to her.
"Wait" she raised her forefinger at him "did you just call me a noisy bird?" she glared at him.
"I know that birds are the ones that make the most noise in the morning so that's pretty much the point" he was studying her reactions. She just huffed her cheeks in annoyance.
"You know you-" she coughed once " should" again she coughed.
He handed her a glass of water.
"I think the morning bird should eat first ,and stop talking or else you'll be choked to death" he smirked as he watched her gulp the whole glass and patted her chest.
"Am not a bird" she retorted and he stood to leave.
"When you say siblings,you mean you have other siblings but Tristan, right?"
She quickly followed behind him.
"I'll seal those lips with glue to shut them,you didn't talk this much when you were with your sister" he rolled his eyes annoyed by the interference of his peaceful life by this girl.
"No , answer my question please"
"Yes I have a sister" he turned to her "do you have any other questions?" She shook her head.
"No , just one more , Where are you going?" she kept her distance since she didn't know what he would do.
"Somewhere, I'll be back soon" he prepared himself and was soon out of the door. He let out a happy sigh as he met with the house cleaners.
June went back to her room and retrieved her journal. The first few pages were of her , writings, she was crying that time when she wrote it. She stared at the two pages and tears stung her eyes but she didn't let them fall.
No more crying June. Not anymore,she convinced herself and tore out the pages and threw them in the bin. And on the next page she wrote and only she would know what happened in that book.
MY HEAVEN.
