Chapter 4: Chapter 3 : The intruder is my roommate.....?
Joshua's point of view
" Huh ? Who said I want a roommate ? " I stare at him like he is crazy. " No one ". Fine. I am done with this. " You go out by yourself or I am throwing you out. Now ! " I say pointing towards the door. He just moves closer. " Why are you in such a hurry to throw me out ? " " Then ? You just come in uninvited and say things like this. You want me host a welcoming ceremony for you ? " I was yelling, but he is so calm. I was getting fired up looking at that smile of his. It is getting on my nerves more than it should.
" I will only stay for a few days and leave ". " I don't care what is happening and why you are here. I want you to leave. That's it ". He shook his head. " I am not leaving. You are going to put up with me for a long time. Get used to it ". I pull him by his collar and out of the room. I push him onto the couch but he holds my arm and pulls me down along with him. I fall on top of him and his face is right in front of mine. I quickly get up and stand in front of him. He sits up properly.
I was flaring with anger. " I asked who are you ? Why are you here ? I am definitely throwing you out or even better I will call the police to take you back home ". He shakes his head with a small smile. " You need not go that far. Like I told you I am Elijah. It is really my name. I can show you my license as proof. And I am a human ". I scoff. " Wow. Congratulations ". Sarcasm dripping off my words. I didn't know being human can be considered a qualification these days.
" I should just kick you out. HUMAN ?! And I am a what ? An alien ? " This is just ridiculous. He scratches his neck. " You are leaving or I throw you out. Choose quickly and wisely ". " Why ? Isn't it nice to have a roommate ? Also I am jobless and have nowhere to go. So I can help you around with errands and also pay my share of the bills. I won't slack off with those things ". What is he saying ? It is not even making sense to me at this point.
I just stare at him. " Are you really saying it or am I thinking that you are speaking like I am letting you stay here ? " " Aren't you ? " Woah ! He sounded so nonchalant. I try to calm myself and take a few deep breaths. " How will you pay if you are jobless ? " " Does it matter ? " My eyes go wide. " Of course it does. What if you are earning the money through illegal means ? I am not letting you stay ".
" Come on Joshua. You need not be so stubborn. Just a few days ". He is actually pleading. I smirk. But wait, what ?! " How do you know my name ? Are you a stalker ? " This is getting creepier. First he comes in saying he wants to live here and now something seems off. I don't know if it me just feeling it or something is actually not right here. Not in a bad kind of a way, but it doesn't fit in. He knows me, means he has a motive ?
" I am not. But tell me even if I kidnap you what will I get ? " I blink a few times. " You are iNsUlTiNg me ? Now you should really drop your idea of me letting you stay ". " So you've actually considered it, even if it is for a second ". I roll my eyes. " I never did ". " Come on. Pretty please ". " How can I let a stranger who just barged in stay with me? And you even know about me which is even creepy ". I make a face like I'm disgusted. " I told you I am not going to do you any harm. Just think of me as a roommate and everything will be fine ".
" Nothing is fine with you here right now ". He rolls his eyes. He pulls me to sit beside him. I look totally uninterested. He sighs heavily. " Look at me ". I look at him with a bored expression. He stares at me right in my eyes. " I am no harm. Believe me ". I stare for two seconds and then turn away. I sit back and huff. " You are a gangster ". He chuckled. " It sounded like a fact to me. Was it a question ? " I shake my head. " It wasn't ". He nods. " I cannot throw you out ? " He shakes his head. I look at him to try to understand what is running in his brain to do all this. His eyes showed nothing and I don't like it.
" So I cannot. Will you tell me anything about yourself ? Or about you coming here ? " I should at least try and see if I can get something out of him. He smiles with a confused expression. " What do you want to know ? My parents names ? My birth place ? " I slouch. " Why would I want to know that ? But you are so mysterious. Did you run away from home ? " He laughs. " Stop making these crazy assumptions about me. Nothing like that. There is no mystery ".
I don't want to buy it. But I nod anyway. There is something about it. My guts are not letting me believe it. I try again, but his eyes are just blank and I can't see through. Something in me keeps telling me to just let him stay to see what he is actually up to. But...I am not sure. In a way, I don't want him to stay here. " But why here ? There are people who actually want a roommate you know ". He touches his chin. " I wanted to stay here. I like it here ".
I have nothing to say. This guy is out of his mind. " You hurt your head somewhere ? " He rolls his eyes. " What should I do to prove that I am not crazy ? Shall I make a call to my mother ? Will you speak to her ? " I shake my head quickly. " Then ? " " It is fine. So you wanted it to be here and this house ? " He nods. I just stay silent for awhile.
I might not be some genius but there is something about him and I can't point it out. I somehow feel I am not getting rid of this guy any soon. His aura says something else. It is like everything is blurred and I cannot clearly say it. UGH ! This is difficult. But I can say he meant them in a way, but I don't know what it could be. I am not able to decipher which are lies and truths or if they are mixed up. Also the worst part here is, I understood that he meant it when he said I cannot get rid of him easily. I saw the confidence in his eyes. Ahhh ! I don't know anymore.

MScPhysics Thanks for all the reads and I will love it if you guys leave comments on how you feel about it so far.
Joshua's brain is working in full speed. Hahaha.
Elijah is being so suspicious and mysterious.
Joshua is so cute. This is from both of us. He is so entertaining like my BR said and I simp over his drama queen side. Haha. He is just awesome.
Also my BR said that he is one of those guys who're cute without knowing it or being intentional. And I would be lying if I say no. He TOTALLY IS. (star-eyed)
