"The power bank, now" he said, his voice dropping harshly like a time bomb.
For a minute, Hazel's feet couldn't move, she didn't cut the eye contact either.
His eyes aren't only devoid, but also empty, like someone who has been to the pit of hell and back.
He looks mad scary like this
She finally found the strength to carry her legs, breaking the eye contact as she went for the door.
He didn't move his body from the frame, so she looked up to find his eyes still on her....she almost shrunk.
"I'll give it to you...I didn't steal it...I only found it under the car" she said in a mutter and even got surprised that she didn't stammer.
His eyes rummaged her face, and she gulped, holding the green towel to her body again.
"Is green your favorite color?" He asked the question she wasn't expecting, and she quickly returned her eyes to him.
"Huh?"
"Repeating ain't my thing" he replied, his voice filling the room.
"Yes....I loved green since I was little" she replied slowly, and she could swear that she saw a twitch at the corner of his lips.
Did he just smile?
Before she could figure that out, he stepped aside, and she quickly rushed to the bed.
The pillow already covered the power bank, so she pushed it away and got it, bringing it to him.
He took it from her, and when his hand touched hers during the exchange, she couldn't help the heat that cracked on her wet skin.
He turned his back to walk out of the room...
"Still... it's not... It's not cool to walk in on a girl bathing. You even puked on me last night and...it ruined my blouse" she said, and he halted to turn back immediately.
His eyes are calmer now.
She batted her lids, water dripping from her towel to the spot she's standing on.
"You want an apology?" He talked unexpectedly again, and she held the hem of her towel gently.
"That's what normal humans...do" she muttered.
"You're fuçking dumb if you think I'm normal" he smirked and did the corner lip twitch thing again before stepping out of the room.
Hazel fought the tears in her eyes as she walked to her small wardrobe.
"I'm not dumb, I know you're an anomaly. No normal human behaves like you... bastard" she muttered, opening her wardrobe annoyingly.
To think he walked in on her in the bathroom, that's the most concerning part.
Did he see her touching herself?
Gawd! She can't get humiliated like this.
"Did Kenzie come for his power bank already?" Maria asked as she entered the room.
Hazel didn't reply, so she quickly squatted in front of her.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"Why did you tell him about the power bank? Now he came here and...
She stopped talking at this point, swallowing her remaining words.
She can't possibly tell her mum about it. If she does, she'd find out about her tendency, and she has been trying so hard to keep it from her.
"And what?" Maria asked.
"Nothing...he got the power bank already, and I'm visiting Penny today" she replied.
"It's fine, dress up baby" Maria kissed her cheeks.

MAIN MANSION, KENZIE'S ROOM*
After going to the second mansion for his salty meal with his friends, Kenzie returned to his room for his bath.
He has an appointment with his therapist this morning, and there's another thing in the menu for the afternoon, so today is sure gonna be busy.
His phone is in hand as he stood in front of his trophy shelf, watching the awards with an obsessed glimmer in his eyes.
There's no stopping to his debauchery, he's a jerk who breaks hearts and collects them in a jar to feed his demons with.
And as much as he doesn't want to notice a particular someone, that someone is doing everything in her power to make herself get noticed.
Weather knowingly or unknowingly, he doesn't know and he's not even ready to fuçking know, but all he knows that if she keeps up the brave front she's putting on, she'd get hurt, and he'd gladly break her in pieces.
Evergreen Hazel....the maid's daughter.
He twitched his lips, grabbing one of the trophies.
He was rolling his fingers on her crown when his phone dinged.
He retrieved it to see a sext from Christine, the girl he was fuçking before he left for college last year.
He clicked on the pictures, watching her tits and cûnt with dark, unhinged eyes for minutes before dropping the trophy and the phone at the same time.
He stripped off his clothes, put on his bathrobe before entering the bathroom.

PENNY'S PLACE*
"Blimey! You didn't tell me you'd be coming!" Penny gushed when Hazel showed up at her doorstep.
"Surprise" Hazel replied, entering the small living room with her.
Penny's parents run a coconut farm, so they're living comfortably even if they're not rich.
They're just ok.
She's the only daughter too just like Hazel.
"So ... Tell me about the demigod in your house!" Penny winked, sitting on Hazel's laps.
"Demigod my foot! Just serve me water first" Hazel rolled eyes, pushing her off herself.
"Coming!" Penny winked again, rushing into the kitchen to get her a cup of chilled coconut water.
Hazel downed it all at a go, and Penny took a deep breath, blinking her eyes funnily.
"I'm listening"
"There's nothing appetizing about that douchebag, trust me. He fuçking puked on me last night when he arrived" Hazel recounted.
"What! Meaning he came close to you? Did he hold you? How did his touch feel? Heard he has beautiful fingers, is it true?" Penny gasped.
Hazel couldn't believe her ears
"Seriously? I just said he puked on me and the only thing in your mind is his damn fingers? He even walked in on me this morning during my bath!"
"OMFG! How did it happen? You mean to tell me Kenzie Torrance saw your nakedness?" Penny literally jumped.
"Only my backside" Hazel replied.
"You should create an IG account and post it there, girl! You just achieved what many girls are dying to get!" Penny shouted.
"You're sick, Penny. I shouldn't have trusted you to take my side" Hazel rolled eyes, drinking from her coconut.
"Now that we're on it, why don't you snap some unaware pictures of him for me?" Penny smiled.
"No...a big no...I don't even have a good phone and even if I do, i'm not doing that. I'd rather snap a unicorn" Hazel stood.
"Please please... please" Penny started bugging her around.
"Thought you had a crush on Cole, what's with this sudden likeness for Kenzie?" Hazel scoffed.
"I liked Cole when Kenzie was out of the country, but now that he's back, please snap his pictures secretly for me ok? Please please" Penny continued.
Hazel smiled widely but returned to her serious face in the space of a second.
"Nah" she insisted.
