Mia's Pov:

I was preparing myself another cup of tea, as Jake refused to let me go alone to my house which was just ten blocks away! He is crazy!

I sipped the last drop before entering washroom to shower, taking my clothes which Jake went to take from my house. He actually refused me smoothly not to even walk outside his house when I was without my bra!
I couldn't even imagine what else he must have seen when ransacking my closet,my girl stuff mustn't have gone unnoticed by his view!

I kicked shower water in the air, to ease my pent up my frustration. I almost slipped,scream escaping my mouth before I gripped tap to mobilise myself. I sighed in relief. There was a knock at the door muffled with sound of water.

"Mia,are you ok? Did you fall on something? Should I come over?",Jake asked,coughing a little.

"No, I am fine, don't you dare walk a step out of that bed,"I threatened him, making sure to check the door lock of the bathroom.

"Yeah. Just make sure to come out in one piece. Girls these days have habit of eating like a bird and falling like kangaroo",he mumbled, sound coming of his going back to the bed. I showered for more minutes before changing into fresh clothes, coming out,my hairs wrapped in bun.
Jake was lying by his side, busy with something on his phone, probably messaging. I went to kitchen to make myself something to eat, after realising all I ate in a day was tea, which I more appropriately drank it.
I made myself omelete and veg sandwich, grinded some juice before making some fresh porridge for Jake, as he's still sick. After placing it on table, I called for him. Just then I heard tapping on the kitchen window. My head instantly snapped in the direction, my hands shaking like bull.

Man, I really hate ghosts.

No, I AM AFRAID OF GHOSTS!!

I took a Frying pan, gripping it tighter with my fingers, my legs keeping slow pace. I hopped on the kitchen counter,opened the window and instantly swung it In the air. I felt a strong push, making my leg lose balance, I was beginning to fall when black hand came from the window,caught my wrist rather tightly. I stared at the hand, looked up to see it coming from the air and closed my eyes,screaming in terror.

And I literally screamed out loud!


"Shut Up,Mia,its me Jake",he said, gripping my hands tighter, stopping me from falling on tiled floor.
I opened my eyes to see Jake staring back at me.

"What the hell were you doing up there? On the roof? Have you signed contract with hell to be the death of me!!",I yelled at him, seeing him climb from the window on the kitchen counter. He climbed back on the floor, lifting me up from counter by my waist, putting me also in floor.

"I was just trying to feed Jenny. She got food little late today because I was sick.",he said, sitting on his chair to grab on his dinner.

I looked at him in bewilderment.
"What? ",he asked, slurping on his meal.

"You really have one of your girlfriends live on your roof just because they love you too much to refuse it? How insensitive and selfish you can be",I said, pointing finger at him.

Now it was his turn to stare. He looked at me with "are you serious look" before laughing out loud.

"Wow Mia! You just earned my respect for reaching infinite level of stupidity at such a young age",he said, wiping tears from the corner of his eyes

I glared at him. He sighed.

"Mia,Jenny is my cat which I had been taking care of for more than three months. I found her on the rainy night on my trip to work so I adopted it. Since then she has been living with me, " he explained with smile,my head hung low.

I felt so guilty for making him a villain and even more humiliated for thinking such ridiculous thing that someone can live on the roof. I stabbed myself mentally before turning up to give him a smile.

"Oh I knew that very well. I just wanted you to admit it with your own mouth. You know. Old habits die late",I said, giggling nervously.

I took a bite of my omelete,when I felt someone staring at me, or more appropriately, my sandwich!!. I looked up to see Jake eating my sandwich deliciously... In his mind!
He felt so Cute looking at my food I was almost tempted to offer him some. And I did give him my food. I guess I can't eat when someone wants mine. He took it with a speed of light and started to munch on it like cow.
Minutes later, he was wiping his mouth with a napkin. I poured both of us some juice. I would have gone with a wine but Jake was sick and I knew I couldn't drink it without sharing it with him.

"When you die next day, don't you dare write in your suicide note that I offered you carbs to eat!",I said,smiling, trying to have conversation.

"I would rather die by your words than by your food. You said that ",He said, raising his glass of juice to have cheers.

"Race you to complete this glass in 5 sec. Winner gets to have 5 things done from loser!",I said, raising my glass in enthusiasm. I would surely win this one. Now it's my turn to boss you around!

He looked at me.

"Deal!",we both shouted.

"Cheers",we clanked our glasses together.

I touched tip of glass in my lips, taking large gulp.

"I didn't know you were 40 C. Last Time I checked you were 35",Jake said nonchlantly, hint of smile On his face. I spilled whole contents of juice back into the glass and stared at him with shock and embarrassment.

Oh. My. God.

He knows my size!!

"Time's up. I win.",he said, placing his glass on the table like some king,rather loudly. I broke up from my trance to find I really lost only to realise that he cheated!

"What? I lost? No. You cheated!",I yelled, running behind him stopping him from leaving the fight. I ran before him, spread my arms wide in front of him to stop him from escaping. He looked at me like I had my two heads grown on my shoulder.

"You lose my baby, Mia. I am sorry at your loss. Keep your phone close to you. I might need to have my 5 wishes completed it night. I am a man after all.",he said, pressing "night" word, making blush on my cheeks more prominent. He chuckled at my reaction, poking my cheeks like I was some baby. I slapped his arm which he caught easily, placing it behind my back gently, before opening my bun with a simple tug. My hairs fell on my shoulder, water still on them, I couldn't help but shiver from the wet droplets on my cheeks. I looked at him with a glare, only to find him staring back at me,this time some kind of emotion evident in his eyes. He pulled me straight on his chest, my cheeks collided with his,our chests pressed tighter.

Second hug in one day!! Am I alive or dead in heaven?

He touched my fingers tentatively, entangling our index fingers producing beautiful sensations on my body. I closed my eyes unconsciously when I felt his hot breath on my ear, his mere breath increasing my own. He sniffed my hair, touching them with tips, like caressed them before bending his hot mouth over my ear.

"I will make sure to make you complete best 5 wishes of my life",he said, his finger leaving my own,his hands leaving my hairs. I turned around to see him going to his bed before my legs gave up and I leaned my head against the wall, slowly sliding down,my hands placed over my heart to leaven my breath.

I looked once again at his door.

I shook my head.

What did I get myself into?
