The New House Mate😑.
Cassandra's POV.
"Miss Cassandra I'm calling to inform you that someone has already paid for the other room in your house and will be moving in today."
"Oh sure, what's her name," I ask the house agent who is in charge of looking for a housemate for me.
"I'm sorry miss he is a Boy, not a girl, I thought you said you wouldn't mind the gender of the person," she says.
"I don't mind I reply so what's his name?" I ask, "Derick Salvador" she replies "he is 22 years old and a freshman like you". "Ok thanks for your hard work," I say to her as she hangs up
My heart starts beating profusely "Derick Salvador" I murmur to myself no it can't be him I heard he went to China after graduating from high school to take over some family business or something like that it can't be him
He is too rich to live in a shared apartment I laugh at me for even thinking Derick Salvador will come live in this tiny apartment with me, what am I even thinking I let out a sigh of relief and went about what I was doing before the call came in.
I was almost falling asleep when the house bell rings I look at the clock and it is past 10 PM, It must be the new housemate but why is he coming so late I have been expecting him since this afternoon when I received the call from the house agent. I climb out of my bed and walk towards the living area to open the door, before going I contemplated wearing a robe but decided against it cause I look decent and it's not like anyone ever takes interest in me, so I opened the door.
"Hel~l~o" the words get stuck I'm my mouth all the colors in my face drained, I started feeling hot and sweaty, oh my God what is he doing in my house, I start to panic Derick Salvador is standing outside my door right now smiling like a psychopath that has just found a new play thin
Oh, what are the chances of this happening?
"Are you not going to let me in cassie?" he asks with a chuckle as his breath fans my face it smells like mints with strawberries and his hand touches my face as he tucks my hair behind my ears, that's when I realize how close to me he is standing. With a shocked expression, I take a step back and let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding.
"O~h su~re you can co~me in I stammered".
He walks in and I close the door he starts looking around the house and his eyes land on me, now I regret not wearing my robe I feel naked under his gaze I mentally hug myself and I'm trying my possible best not to wrap my arms around my self for real I don't want to know how much impact his presence has on me.
"Wh~y are you here," I ask in a small voice, my voice is so quiet I could barely hear myself. "You have enough money to buy five-star hotels for fun I don't understand why you are here" I'm trying as much as I can to hide the tears in my voice. "I do~n't want you here Derick please go leave me alone," I say tears running freely down my cheeks, I couldn't hide my fears anymore my hands are shaking, maybe if I beg him enough he will let me be.
"Plea~se Derick I just want to be happy and at peace," I say with tear-filled eyes as I beg him crying bitterly.
"I've not been here for 10 minutes and you are already asking me to leave," he says as he grabs my arm and drags me closer to him.
"You are mine," "MINE" he barks "Nobody, not even you can take you away from me, so don't even bother asking me to leave, not in a thousand years will I leave here," he says for a moment he looked hurt or am I seeing things?.
" Where is my room I need to rest," he says, I point to his room and he leaves.
I fall to the floor and cry my eyes out, the only thoughts in my head were, how I'm going to live with him here.
