There a stranger in my apartment
Khaleesi POV
My eye felt heavy because I was up all night finishing my English project, I got done at 2 AM in the morning. I am pretty sure i slept through the entire session of English class. All I want to do is to feel the soft mattress and silk sheet under my skin.
I took my automatic key card and put it to the device and it wasn't beeping, I did it thrice more and it still wasn't working, then got fed up and tug at the door and it was unlock. why is my door open? I shrug, I might've left it open when In a rush this morning.
I lock the door behind me, I put my coat on the rack and came in contact with a Nike male shoes and immediately panic settle in. "Is there someone in my house?" I wondered. I check the kitchen first and then, bathroom, living room, guest room and there's no one in sight. Sighing of relief. I was exhausted so I head to my bed to see there a strange man occupying my bed, cuddling my purple silk sheets. Fright fill my body, so I let out a boisterous scream. Immediately the man jolt awake looking around franticly for the source..
"What the - Who is f#$% is you" he scratch his head, eying me skeptically
My face crease with confusion; why is there a stranger in my room, I started to panic, is he some creep ready to have his way with me and then kill me. "Oh god!" My hand became clammy as I wipe at my forehead.
This cannot be happening, this not how Imagine going out.. maybe old age with all my love one around me. " Oh there god... I started to chant a prayer. " Lord please, it's not my time to go out, I have so much to live for, my future.. I still haven't received my first kiss yet, neither have had my first love. Lord please have mercy on me!"
I peek one eye open to see the man smirking at me. I peel both of eyes open and manage to whimper, "please don't hurt me."
He straight out laugh at me. My confusion peaken, he must a psychopath who enjoy to watch their victim shivers with fear.
He sober up. "I am not going hurt you." He seriously said with a unrecognizable accent.
I visible relax, though I have concerns. "What are you doing in my apartment?"
"You mean my apartment." My eyes furrowed at his response.
"This has to be a a joke? What do you want really, is it money?" All I wanted was a peaceful nap, is that so hard to ask for? now I have get rid of this intruder.
He scoffed. "I don't want your filthy money! It so typical for a person like you just assume everything is about money, I bet your parents payed this lavish ass apartment."
The audacity to openly judge me is outrageous. He knows nothing about me other than the fact that my parents are indeed rich which he was right but still..
I open my mouth but no words come out. Something about his presence makes me nervous.
His eyes furrowed waiting for me to respond but when he realized I wasn't "I'm too tired for this." He then proceed on my bed and lay down.
I have to do something I can't just let a stranger take ownership of my place. Sir, if you don't leave my room this instance, I'll call the head office or worst the cops!" I threaten as I put the phone to my ears
In one quick motion he's on his feet. he snatch my phone from my hands and throw it across the room- " My phone!" I cried out
Fortunely it landed in the laundry basket. I kneen down I capture the phone searching any damages, it was perfectly intact. I let out breath. I got my first phone from my sister for my nineteen birthday and it was really expensive.
"What you do that for?" Clamping my phone in my hand. He stood in front of me scrutinizing me.
I blink rapidly, no way this is real. No way I'm I going to share a dorm room with male species, who is absolutely pleasing to eye. He muscular built and tall as hell and what stood out about him the most is his light green eyes with compliment his golden brown skin. Damn. Oh my gosh he's so handsome, wow I have never seen a black man with green eyes before he must be mixed race.
"Apparently now that I am living here, you'll stay out of my way."
"Uh- I can't be sure you live here unless I go check with office." He raised eyebrows.
I stood gosb smash staring, the more I stare the more recognizable his face gets, I know him, I have seen him before but I cannot remember where.
"Let's get one thing straight, little miss perfect,You are certainly not my type so please stop looking at me like that."
I continue to gawk at him. I never seen guy so alluring.
"The hell are you looking at!?" He harshly said.
I was so busy admiring him, that I missed what he said . "Huh?"
Annoyance flash in his eyes
"We have come to conculsion that I am living here now . So what are you standing staring at? Leave my sight!" His voice was roaring loud enough To make me quickly shuffle out the room, and run out my own apartment in the process; embarrassed. Leaning behind the door, I contemplating going back in there to tell him a piece of my mind but I don't have the confidence to do so, besides he's super intimidating.. and rude- I sigh. No way I'm I going live with a such man.
I headed straight to head office, to sort out the predicament with my so call new roommate.
"Can I help you?" The young woman look at me in distaste asstacking paper together asked.
"There a problem, there this man in my apartment dorm claiming that he supposedly lives there."
She scoffed in response.
"Madam, there's no such thing.. we don't let male and female live together in the same dorm room, so don't waste my time with nonsense, leave now!"
It seems I had frustrated her.. I don't know why she yelled at me, she must be having a bad day. Besides i am an introvert person therefore I didn't respond to her.
As i was about to leave I heard a another voice. "Wait!" I turned to a warm friendly smile, she mid age woman, her green eyes looks inviting as looks at me.
"Your roommate with a male correct?"
"Yes." I when up to desk.
"Hear me out I was the one that put him in your dorm. We don't normally make same genders live together but unfortunately all the dorm room are full expect yours and I was command by the head master to do it."
"How ? my apartment is exclusive, my parents pay in full to get that apartment."
"Miss I understand your frustrations but your dorm apartment is the only one with two rooms. I assure you this only for a couple of months as soon as Felix get bored he'll leave trust me."
It seems she knows the man in my apartment too well, however I can't take her word for it, I know nothing about that stranger in apartment he might be dangerous or something base off them arm tattoos. "This is totally invasion of my private-
"Miss Hade, there nothing I can do about this issue.". I sigh out loud, damn, why dear God, why? I about to leave when she said.
"If he misbehave in anyway, please don't be afraid to inform us and just maybe you'll have your apartment to yourself again ." I turn back and continue to walk out the door.
Just great, he is trouble like I had suspected.
I wasn't going head to my apartment yet, I need to see Malik and complain to him.
He greeted me with a big smile as lean against the door. "Didn't think I would see you so soon.." I push pass him to enter his abode which was surprising spotless clean and took a seat on his messy bed.
He closes his door come seated beside me. "I know you couldn't stay away for too long. listen I wanted to ask you.. Are you okay?" it clear as day the frown that sat on my face.
"Can you believe these people! Their letting a man live in my Apartment. My parents didn't pay so much money for exclusive dorm room just to share it not just somebody but a man, a literal male species, how can I live with the opposite gender like I can barely tolerate you much less a actual man who is absolutely gorgeous, like ridiculous handsome, I have never seen someone so -
"Khaleesi! Damn I forgot how much you rant when you're miserable. Who is the man your living with?"
I pout. "I didn't get his name..Oh I think Felix, I'm not sure."
"Adrian Felix, he's back?" Shock evident in his voice.
I shrug. "Who's that?"
He run his hand through his silky black hair. "I don't know much about him but He's was notorious in football league he was on his way to NFL, he was the captain and the best player Knox ever had on their team, but when he started mess with bad men, coach catch him with drugs and kick off the team. Why the hell is he back anyway didn't he got expelled last year."
"why did he got expelled though?"
"I'm not sure. Why did they put him in your apartment, surely their number one rule is same gender should not be in the same dorm/ apartment."
"The lady told me every other dorm room is full therefore I have live with him until they sort that out.."
"They can't let you live with him! he's bad news, they shouldn't be pairing a guy like that with you. I think you should let your parent be know of this issue, I mean they did pay lot of money for the apartment."
I sigh as lay on the bed, facing him. "No they would freak out and come here and cause unnecessary drama, you know how they are, especially if they know I am sharing a room with a guy."
he rolled his eye. "The more reason to ring them up." I gave him an annoyed glance.
My parent are utterly strict. during my whole high school year i couldn't go parties because i had to sit at home while, Malik and Jonah got to enjoyed themselves, I had to study to get a good GPA to land in the collage I am in today. My parents always see anything that not remotely involve with studies as distraction. They told always remind me " life is hard for people of our skin tone", so they had work extremely hard for the position their in today. They are both Doctors, my father a Neurosurgeon, my mother is cardiology and my older sister is a Psychiatrist, which put a lot pressure on me to follow in my family foot steps.
"Don't give me that look Khala, you got to do something about this guy in your room."
"I know Malik! I don't want to talk about this anymore." he huff and look away. Malik is one of my guy best friend and he's like a brother to me, and have a tendency act the protected roles but I was more expected this from his twin brother.
"Fine!" I know he's vexed
"Oh on c'mon now, don't be like now, a least I'll come around here more frequently."
I gave him a pout "You better; though I don't want you hanging out with Felix guy, its inevitable that you're now living with him. "
"You don't have to Worry about that, i don't plan to associate myself with him, like you said he bad news." I kissed on the cheek and he crack a smile.
------
Its now night time, i spend the whole afternoon chatting and watching Tv with Malik.
"Although i'm enjoying this show I must be on my way." I get out the bed as leaving Malik grab onto hand and engulf me in a hug, I breath in fresh scent; he haven't hug me in while now.
"I enjoyed our time together . its just like when were in high school, were so busy with stuff that we don't spend much time together anymore. I miss this."
"Me too. listen I have essay to write, I'll see you tomorrow." I patted his back and release the hug. He kiss my cheek and flash him a smile.
"Um, where is Jonah I want to talk to him"
"He's spending the night with one of his bimbos."
"He still the ladies man, I see." I haven't seen Jonah in months until today when came over earlier, I think he avoiding me for some reason.
"You have no idea.. I apologize for his behavior earlier, he just going through somethings." Today I tried to speak with him but he shout at me..
"Yeah." I know that he's angry at because I didn't took his side but I didn't know what to do in that predicament...
"See you then." I then left, as soon made as I made it outside A strong gust of wind blows across my skin, creating a cool sensation on my skin and I close my eyes briefly. The walking was a bit of stretch. Malik and i don't live on the same floor, his dorm on side of campus. while My apartment was secluded area on campus. As I continue walking to my apartment no one was I sight, I then check my watch and my eyes widen slyly at time, its current ten 'ock at night. "Shoot!"
I made to my apartment door and it wouldn't open, and the thing is I left my key card inside. I knock for the fourth time and certain person wouldn't open the door so I started to pound harder. My hand was position to knock again when the door was pull open.
At the sight of me his face pull scowl, as I about to step inside he put hand in the way blocking the entrance.
He was still in the same sweat pants without a tee shirt, revealing his tone chest wash board abs. I let out a nervous breath, is this what I'll see everyday because I don't mind at all.
Our eyes met, my eyes bore into his beautiful bright multi colors one, he raised eye brows daring me but I look away as intensity of his eyes burn into mine. "Uh- could you step aside please, so I can come in."
"Your the girl who couldn't keep her eyes off of me?"
"What do I owe the pleasure, this late in the night?" He smirk suggestly.
My eyes shoot up confused. "What do you mean , I live here!"
Recognition flash on his face. "Oh, that girl who was nagging about the ownership of my apartment."
"It's my apartment, your invading my space not the other way around."
He simply eye me. "What's a girl like you coming home at this time of the night?"
"I don't think that any of your business, now please let me in, I have essay to complete." He smirk and block way his body coming a bit closer to me.
"Yuh wake mi from mi sleep so I do deserve fi know why the hell doing out at this time."
What with the inquiry. "I was at friend's catching up."
"I'm sure you were." He said Sarcasticaly and move aside and I walk in with him following me close behind.
In my bedroom was a mess, males clothes scattered all over the floor, my things was nowhere in sight. I turned around to see Felix standing at the door, I jump, shocked. "W-what are you doing in my room and why are your things scattered all over the floor?"
"Here the thing pretty lady, this is my room now -
"You'll have the guest room, your things are already there, now move along." He gesture to door
"What? You can't take my room!" My room was most spacious in apartment, it connected to bathroom. A comfortable king size bed that feels like sleeping on clouds; whereas guest room bed was of twin size. with glass window and balcony it has the best view.
"We'll see about that."
he his over to my bed, place his hands behind and watch me. He wasn't smirk or nothing he was serious.
"Felix, um - His glare Pierce through me the moment i said his name. "you can't take my room, it has girly decor." It wasn't. The walls were painted royal blue and the decorations minimalist.
"Where f you learn my name - I should of known.. these people are thrive off gossip."
Confused I asked. "What's the issue with learning your name?"
He nod. "I'd prefer if you didn't learn my name at all but since did you will address me as Adrian."
He sat down on my - his bed typing away on his phone. I presume he dislike his last name.. "Adrian please can you give me my room so I can get started on my essay."
Without looking up he said. "Do me a favor and exit the room."
"I am not leaving my own room; you can't just come here take over my place." I wasn't going to let him bully me again into leaving my place. He scowled and stood up
"Unless you'll like me to put you out." He advancing toward me -
"Stop!" He was really close, invading my personal space. "I forbid you to touch me!" I don't where this surge of confidence is coming from, sure I was nervous but I wasn't going let him scared me out of my own room.
He raised his eyes challenge me. "Don't test me little girl, do you know who the f$&- your talking to?!" He barked in my face.
As his hazel cold eyes met my mine, i coward in fear. "Leave!" One simple word he says so deadly leaving no room for words.
I was shivering just looking up at his tall frame, I'm determine to stand my ground, I can't let him think I am some weakling that he can talk all over, beside what he's doing is wrong!
"N-no I won't." My voice shook violently saying two words, his demeanor dark and brooding as he glare into my soul. Suddenly he took a whole of my hand as I try to free my hand from his but iron grip clamp tightly on the small of my wrist, it feels like he
cutting the blood circulation out of my hand
"Ouch, you hurting my hand." I hiss in pain. After I said that it something changes in his eyes. In a quick motion He forceful push me out the door.
