Chapter 7 Staying under same roof

ALICE POV:

Acter having a sip of coffee I switched off the coffee and went to bed it was still very early. It was only 7:15 pm and I went to my room remembering how I slept late at night and woke early in morning.

My bed was calling me seeing in room and I just jumped on it. When I hit the pillow my mind started playing what happened whole day.

How I ignore him? How he came to my cabin to confront? How in guilt I avoided him once more excusing myself? How I bumped into him and my head and his chin got hurt?

How so many questions his eyes were having and I was just avoiding? How he was just and breakdown near me telling about his dad? How I consoled him by hugging and carssing his cheeks? How I hold his hand and feed him food?

His touch was mesmerizing made my heart skip its beat. Seeing in his hurt bule eyes made my heart stabbed by knife.

He looks so devilishly handsome in his dark blue eyes, raven hairs, three piece suit, tempting well muscled body, poisonous smile, perfect jawline, pink lips and his Adam's apple move when he talk.

God this guy is really something. He drives me crazy for him and makes me crave for him. I just get into him so deep whenever I see his eyes.

Today, I was much close to see every detail of his face and body. Caressing his cheeks and wiping his tears from thumb made me have electric current inside me.

Hugging him was like my whole dependent on him. This is what I was actually finding in life and finally I got it.

His cologne, his tears, charm, eyes, cheeks, jaw, hands, touch everything was just like a current spark for me. The moment became so special for me now that I want to touch him again and again.

I was busy thinking about him wearing my night sleeveless top which showed my navel and cleavage clearly while sleeping. And shots which made my sexy long legs visible. When someone opened my door holding its knob and I turned to see who it was being startled.

My eyes stopped thinking it was a dream may be hallucination. As it was none other than Ethan, he was standing holding the know in his hand. Staring me agter uttering my name in half way.

He was looking damn sexy in loose sleevless tshirt with a trouser down. His well muscled bodys glimpse was so visible made me crave for it.

But I brushed off my thoughts and spoke up. "What are you doing here?"

"Huhhh.. Umm.. I came to call you for dinner", he said stammering and startled while his eyes was still frozed on my body.

"You go I don't...."

"Ethan can't you do a single thing. Why are you standing here like this? Alice come downstairs I have bring your favourite food. Please bitch", Lauren said cutting off me and dragged me with her.

Ethan followed us behind nodding his head to her sister. Who shove her hand to him.

When I went to dining room I found lovely delicious food all over the table. And my dear brother Alex and Jack who were waiting for me with Grandma.

"Sis where were you? We were waiting for you? Why you didn't joined us outside? You know Ethan bro joined us atlast I wish you could have done too", Alex blurted out sonmany questions but his last word hit me.

"Alex she must be tired that's why she didn't joined. Otherwise I know my bitch won't leave me alone. Isn't it?", Lauren spoke while I nodded my head and took seat with her.

"Well it was very enjoyable moment with grandma my lame jokes laughing beauty and naughty guy. Isn't it Grandma?", Jake said and Ethan just glared him making him look down.

"Ofcourse dear it was very enjoyable moment roaming in silent empty street with you all. You know after Alice grandpa left us this was the first time I again went to enjoy moments like this", Grandma said with a smile but eyes got soft remembering grandpa.

"Oh common old lady I will make you find a new oldie. Don't worry let that old man be in peace and not disturb him. As he must be happy levaing in heaven else of living with you like hell", Lauren joked out and Grandma chuckled.

"Common Lauren I am not that boring or irritating but yeah if you wish I can be?"

"No way I am already having difficulty with you not anymore", she said yelling but hugged grandma and kissed her on cheeks. While grandma did the same with her.

"Okay okay now I am jealous she being showered by you in love. Even I am there here", I said pouting and joined them hugging while Alex came running screaming me too and we all laughed.

Jack and Ethan stared us from their seat when grandma asked them to join too. Jack went to Lauren's side and hugged grandma with her in middle. Both were blushing and eyes sparkled when their eyes met.

Ethan came towards me hugged grandma with me in middle. Our eyes didn't met but his warm touch again took my breath and shiver went through my spines. His chest was touching my back and it made me think to grab him now and hug him all night and sleep.

I brushed my thoughts away and holded my minds racing horse in its place. We detached and took our seats continuing with our food.

When grandma suggested something which made me numb and Lauren to lit up bright like sun. Others were happy too much enough hearing it.

"Why don't you all stay in my house? As you can see it's too big for a old lady to live in with two girls."

"Everyone but why?", I aksed out of the blue as eveyone means Ethan too. Which will make me think about him more and it's not gonna be easy to hold my horses.

"Why not?", Lauren protested. And I know she wants Jack after all its her first love.

"Yeah it's a great idea we will love to stay. Mom won't mind already and Dad he will be happy", Alex blurted in excitement while I was happy too.

"I am in too. Who doesn't wants to stay here and have best conpany with you.... all", Jack said looking Lauren and she smiled idiotically while Ethan glared his bestie and he added all word at last.

"What about you Ethan?", grandma asked him while I shook my head in no looking down to food.

My heart was skipping beats and nervousness was taking me over. All I could say if he said yes my heart will stop beating fully.

"I will love to stay here to and keep eyes on ...... you", he said looking at his sister and bestie but than looked at grandma and said.

"But you wanted to stay and spend time with your parents isn't it?", I again spoke up looking terrified by listening him. As the thought of him with me was killing my senses.

"Yeah I wanted to but they don't want it I guess. So it's better to stay here and be showered by love with you...all. Btw if you have problem then I won't?", he said looking at me.

I understood his words and pain but still what to do about my thoughts. I closed my eyes and took a long breath.

"No I don't have any problem you can stay here", atlast I said.

"GREAT!! So Lauren is sleeping with me in ground floor, Alex and Jack can shift down to as we have one room more here. And Marry sleeps in her room so it is sort it out. Now Ethan you can sleep beside Alice rooms", hearing grandma I got choked up and statted coughing.

Lauren rubbed my back and gave me water of glass. I am going to run from this house. Why God?? Why Grandma??? Why are you making up mess in my life. I glared grandma while talking to myself.

"Alice calm down nothing will happen", Lauren whispered to my ears as if she read my mind. Ofcourse she can she knows me more than me. And I know her more than her #bestfriends.

I finished my dinner soon as hearing this I lost my appetite but I hate wasting food. Well it was not left much though I ate it all like a good girl and headed for my room.

My mind was replaying moments with him repeatedly as if Ethan is like a virus to my head. He captured my mind may be my heart too. I mean yeah he has effect on me from the very first day so ofcourse heart betrays me to when he is near.

I played music on my speaker to get my mind out of him a little loud. Which can reach his room for sure but not down.

I laid under the duvet after setting my AC temperature and closed eyes. But whenever I did his face flashed. God why is he so toxic for me. Ufff... I can't fall for him nor for anyone. Love sucks it makes life go upside down. Please God please don't let me fall in love for him I don't want to.

I was chanting this to me under the loud music when he came inside my room. And I looked at him horrifiedly. As if my nightmare became true.

ETHAN POV:

She was playing loud music which was making me irritated. I need peace while sleeping. I can't sleep in noise otherwise my sleep betraying me flies away very far.

I went to her room but paused as if again she was in a exposing state. I will lose my control again. Damn fuck! She is just so sexy that a patient guy like me went crazy. This girl should not sleep like this.

But why she would not ofcourse her life her choice her room. Who am I to say? But girl you make me go hard down with the effect you have on me.

Today was my best lunch ever coz you feed me up holding my hand through out. I wish I could hold your hand forever. But I know I will but it's just that I have to keep patience. When she hugged me today I felt she feels for me too. It was like she by hugging want's my all sorrow pain to get sucked out of me.

God after the whole ignoring avoiding day which was painful and awful for me. But today's day did all things covered up I just love her. Every day she makes me fall for her more and more. Once rude, arrogant and at the second moment she becomes soft, caring, loving.

Her touch burned me up from inside with her electrifying fingers and palms. Her hug was like giving a reason to live more with her. I swear if she is with me I want my every breath, day, min, sec with only and only her.

She is the best thing ever happened to me in my whole life. And I want her only in my life to be my side forever and every life I get.

I went to her room brushing my thoughts and knocked her door this time. But ofcourse how can she hear it the music is so loud. I wonder why she wants to sleep in loud music and how can she even sleep? Crazy girl!!

I left a sigh and opened door. She was looking me like she saw a ghost. Ofcourse she didn't have expected me to come but still.

"Can you please turn off the music or slow down the music. I can't sleep in noise I want full peace for sleep", I said in one go going near her and she looked at me.

"But I want loud music and I won't do it slow", I said loudly in a rude tone. As I am hating him for capturing my mind and heart so easily.

"Fine then I will sleep with you in this room", I said annoyingly.

"You can't this is my room and you already got a room beside me. So sleep there why here?", she said nervously but sounded shocked more. As if really I am going to sleep there. Well I don't mind though I will love it.

"Oh so you know beside room is mine. So you must know this too the music is too loud. Do whatever you want to and however you like but please don't spoil my sleep. Or else?", I said teasingly.

"Fine you go to your room I am doing the sound slow", she said looking me.

I smirked while she looked me in irritatingly. She looks more pretty when she is pissed off especially when the reason is me. Hehheeehhhheeee....

Finally now I can sleep in peace and go office tomorrow. I was about to doze off when I got text from dad asking "Where am I? Am I fine?".

Well it's shocking to see hin concerned for me but it's so good to know he cared. I hope so he stays like this and it is dad only not mom.

"Yes I am fine. I am in grandma's house and will be staying here only".

"Okay take care son. Good night."

"Good night dad."

Amazing I feel like all miracles are happening to me nowadays. I guess it's beacuse Alice may be just because I said her about dad and my relation. Well if she is there behind it then I am more happy as now I can be sure the miracle in my life is her.

I love you Alice. Thanks for coming in my life and adding colours to it.
