The sun rays peered through the window filtering the room, it's warmth hit my face making my eye lids flip right open. I squinted my eyes rubbing it with my finger.

Yawing, I sat up straight stretching my arms.

My eyes groggily glancing at the strange place I was.

Am I still dreaming, because I had this werid dream I was living in a fairy tale, and whoa looks like I'm still dream!


"Wake up April" I screamed, but I'm still in my fairy tale bedroom.

I remember something I learnt from one of my favorites Tv series, Teen wolf.

I stared at the hands counting my fingers, and I was accurate.

Great I'm not dreaming, this is surreal. My eyes widened.

How did I got here jeez, this morning amnesia of mine isn't helping.

Then all came back rushing to me.


This is really my life now, it really a drastic change. I thought I could wake up feeling the coldness of a alley floor with a flimsy blanket wrapped around me.

But here I'm under a roof safe, my eyes got blurry with my tears.

I'm not going back to the nightmare my life was then, I sighed in relief .



I jumped up from the bed with a grin on my face, I got to freshen up, incase I get susprised with breakfast in bed. I wouldn't want Suzy to see me looking like a chick from a horror movie, my morning face isn't really a good sight to see, because I look horrible.

I headed towards the shower, I took a step in and suddenly I heard the squeaking sound of the door being opened.

I got startled nearly slamming the bathroom door, I quickly held the door, I took a peep, and I noticed a tall figure in a black walk in. I couldn't really see the face, but I'm sure it a man.

My heart started to thumb rapidly. I firmly gripped the door like my life depended on it.

When I thought this was my fairy tale, it had to turn into a scene from a horror film.


I look a deep breath in, reciting a mantra I often do, to keep me calm.

what should I do next?

Calm down April, think what is the first thing you do when you are caught up in a situation like this.

I have to find a weapon to defend myself.

I glanced around thinking of what can I use as a makeshift weapon.



I quick check the bathroom cabinets , my eyes landed on a hair clipper. This is definitely a man's room like I did suspected, I got a lot of questions for Suzy and Mrs Smith today.


With this, I can defend myself from that intruder, it could be a burglar, or a serial killer .


Maybe I should just stay here hmm, Not good idea either, it a possibility he can decide to check the bathroom.

I need to get a grip, Mr Lee self-defense lessons shouldn't go to waste. I will go out there and show that intruder he can be a sociopath or a psychopath but I'm one crazy bitch



I opened the door lunched forward, gripping the hair clipper vehemently .



I head straight to the intruder screaming like a those dothraki in Game of thrones. I wack him with the clipper, flinching my eyes.

I was going in for the second hit, and I felt a firm grip on my wrist, twisting it, the hair clipper fell off.

I tried wriggling my hand free, but the grip was tight. My eyes was closed too scared to look at the face of the intruder.


He let go of my hand, groaning out loud.


I opened my eye, my jaw dropped.


Holy molly! I was staring at the most gorgeous man alive, I'm not exaggerating he surely an adonis.




I was so stunned that I was staring at him in awe, He had a sharp chiseled features but was angelic at the same time.

He is so perfect, except the cut I just gave him .I bit my lips staring at his dark- coal cold eyes staring at back at me with a deadly glare.


oops.


" I'm so sorry sir I thought you were a burglar which technically you maybe because you budge in..........



" who are you ?" he asked me in a cold tone


I was speechless


" I..."


Suzy budge in interrupting us.

"Miss April I brought you breakfast"

she paused when her gaze landed on him.


"Mr Smith, good morning sir, I didn't know you have arrived "


Mr smith, whoa did I just hit Mrs Smith husband with a clipper.




"And who are you ?"

she smiled "I'm Suzy, the new maid"


"What is this crazy woman doing in my room"

"Sir, Miss April is Mrs Smith guest she spent the night here "


He intensively gazed at me, making heat rediate through my body.

He clenched his fist giving me a Stern look.

I surely look crappy with my curly wild hair,and I just hit him with a hair clipper.


" Another escort, a crazy one this time" he shook his head.


He called me an escort, jeez what with every guy seeing me as one, the bartender and now him. looks like I'm cursed, I'm associated with a pimp as a best friend, at this rate I'm going to be single forever.


"Excuse me sir ... I'm not an escort.. I'm ......."


"Since, my space is being invaded, get the suite prepared I will be moving in today, make sure my things are moved in imediately" he said totally ignoring me.


Suzy nodded

"One more thing, I need a cup of coffee. I will be in my study"

"Right away sir"

He walked out of the room.


I gaped

That was rude


I stared at Suzy with my eyebrows raised"


she shrugged.


"I will be back shortly Miss April" she set the tray containing a cup of chocolate tea and omelette.





I decided to take a quick shower before Suzy comes back. I have tons of questions for her.

I'm going full Nancy drew on her.


I finished up quickly, because my chocolate tea was getting cold.


I was done with my breakfast and still Suzy was not yet back.

I was tempted to go in search of her, but with my hair dripping wet and the revealing nightie I'm wearing, I don't want to bump into Mrs Smith's husband he might think I'm trying to seduce him.


I'm actually confused about, if he is Mrs Smith husband, why would Mrs Smith allow me sleep in his room.


"Miss April I'm sorry I kept you waiting"

"That's all right Suzy" I smiled at her


"I thought I should bring you this" she handle over a hair dryer to me"


I face beamed with relief.

"Thank you Suzy, that so thoughtful of you"


" Don't mention it" I think I'm going to like her

"I need to head back to the kitchen, incase Mr smith wants breakfast"





" Suzy please don't go yet, Can I ask you a question,?


" okay"




" That was Mrs Smith husband right"




"huh" she cover her mouth bursting into laugher

"Oh Miss April, that was her son, Mr Brad Sebastian Smith"


"Oh" I chuckled, blushing harder, Silly me, he looks too young to be



" Tell me how is he like?"

"I can't tell miss April I just met him just like you , I'm very new here, I recognized him from the photos Mrs Smith showed me"

Hmm, looks like she won't be of help to clear my the doubts.

" Okay, thanks for the breakfast, it was delicious like the chocolate pie yesterday"


Her face beam into a bright smile.

she smiles alot

" Thank you miss"

"I forget to mention, your things just arrived"

Thank God I was getting worried.


" I will come down stairs to get them myself"

" No need miss April, it my job to do that"

I wanted to protest, but thinking of my new house mate, I'm not ready to cross with path with him. Not after hitting him with his own clipper. It better I stay here, Mrs Smith can help me give him a proper apology. I don't think I can have the courage to approach him, he looks intimidating enough.



His cold eyes alone makes my legs shivers.


" Suzy, please could you handle my paintings with much caution.

she nodded heading out of my room





Oh what a crazy morning, my mind drifted to the incident.

I blushed, bitting my lips, I'm wondering how pathetic I looked in his eyes.






I just hope Mrs Smith will be here Soon. Or I'm going to be lock up in my room still she comes.



The thought of facing that handsome fellow, makes me quiver inside. He was rude enough.


Great I got an a arrogant handsome man as a house mate.

This going to be a heck of an adventure.
