Chapter 4: Strangers Alert

"What the hell are you doing!" somebody said fiercely.

I was suddenly spun from behind when somebody grabbed my right hand, where the knife was. I saw two angry rubies, staring right into my eyes. My heart skipped a beat and all I could think was how his angry features looked so handsome.

For the time being, I was held by a guy who looks like a stud while I was holding a knife in my hand. I had a hard time concentrating about what was happening and suddenly, anger spread through my veins like no tomorrow.

"Who are you and what are you doing!?" I shouted. I was mystified as to why somebody just barged in here without any permission whatsoever. He gripped on my wrist more forcefully and his eyes looked obviously angry. I tried to free myself but he didn't budge.

"The question is, what were you doing?" His eyes seemed to glow as he shouted and his menacing aura was kind of scary, especially his glare, but I didn't back down. I was shocked when he shouted at me, that's for sure. How can he even shout at a lady? Didn't anybody tell him it was rude to yell at a girl?

"What!?" I asked, still shouting. I wanted to say something more but my mouth could only say much. I never encountered somebody like this and I 've certainly never felt this kind of anger before.

"You just pointed a KNIFE at my brother!" he said, pointing at the kid who seemed to be not bothered by any of this at all and just sat there comfortably while holding his precious apple.

I looked at him, confused. I looked at the kid and my hand, back and forth, until it finally hit me.

"Oh! Um, I wasn't….. I didn't..!" I stuttered. I couldn't finish my sentence. I wanted to say 'I wasn't doing anything to him!' but my mouth had other ideas, apparently.

Did he really think I'd stab a defenseless kid? Nobody would do that!

"Look, can you please calm down for minute or two? Just let me explain ok?" I finally said. I tried to get away from his grip and put the knife on the table, away from child reach. He really gripped and squeezed my hand hard. I can still feel the pain from my reddening wrist.

I sighed with relief when he did seem to calm down, though he was still suspicious. We stood there glaring at each other and I quickly explained.

"I saw the kid in the kitchen, reaching for the knife on the table and I figured he wanted to cut the apple-" I pointed the apple in the kid's hand. "and tried to help him. He didn't let go of the apple and then you came and accused me for something I did to help your little brother." I crossed my hands and waited for a response. I was well aware that the kid rolled his eyes but I didn't comment and ignored it.

He just raised his brow! What a nerve! I ought to send him to jail for trespassing on my house! I noted to myself.

He turned to the kid and asked.

"Is she telling the truth?" he asked. The kid eyed me warily, as if I was still gonna try and take his apple. The kid just shrugged, but nodded in the end.

We were three people standing in an awkward silence in my new home. How did it come to this? My eyes involuntarily stared at the guy. He was shirtless and seemed to come out from bath. His raven hair was damp, his mesmerizing crimson eyes were mercilessly breath-taking. God, his body. His body was sculptured and hardened, still wet, with abs that I wanted to run my hands to, his lower body was covered with towel and I immediately flushed. I wasn't supposed to stare and gawk! I quickly regained myself and returned to my angry demeanor.

"Well? Don't you have something to say?" I demanded an apology, putting my hands on my hips and glaring at his smirking expression. I think he caught me checking him out.

"I don't have to say anything. I was right to take action; you might've stabbed him anyway." He said coolly, looking bored.

"WHAT?" I shouted again, stomping my feet angrily. How could he! He should be begging for my forgiveness! Instead he was standing there with his glorious body, looking smug and all. I was about to jump him and punch him in the face but stopped when I realized that that would cause me to look unfeminine and it would be his entire fault.

He looked at me and frowned.

"You should probably leave now." He grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards the door, yanked me outside and closed it on my face.

"HEY! What the hell are doing you brute!" I banged the door, not stopping before it yanked open again.

"STOP BANGING THE DOOR AND GO TO YOUR OWN HOUSE, YOU CRAZY GIRL!" He shouted before closing the door again. I stood motionless, shocked. I can't believe this is happening!

"I'm not going anywhere if you don't open this door!" I banged again and stopped. What the hell is wrong with him? Should I go to the police to report all of this? I decided against the idea, I didn't even know where the police station is. I sat on the door side and thought of an idea. This would probably annoy her as hell but I don't have time to hesitate right now.

I searched my pockets for the phone and immediately contacted Hotaru. I was too angry to drool over my new phone and who cares.

"Hotaru? What's going on here? There's somebody intruding the house! And he just kicked me out!" I started frantically, my voice sounding panicky but nevertheless, still had anger.

"Right. Just go back there and tell him you're also living there." Hotaru said, irritated.

"Are you kidding me? He just threw me out! And I thought I was living here alone!?" I asked angrily, getting a bit panicked and antsy. I remembered Hotaru saying there were two beds in this house. But who would've thought there were a guy and a child residing here as well? I knew apartments had other residents. But this! This is too much! i stomped my foot and had been glaring at the stilled door for a while.

"Whatever. Solve it on your own." She hung up. I was lost for words. I was kicked out of my new home and my best friend wouldn't even help me. What was I supposed to do? Scream, kick the door open and kill somebody? Tempting, but I'll go straight down to jail, and all of my hard work would be all for nothing.

Shite.

Maybe I should test out my newly discovered skills, sneaking. This was undoubtedly a very bad idea, but I don't have a choice if I want to go inside. It's not exactly warm and fuzzy out here, in fact, it's very cold. The evening was just starting.

Thinking about the cold made me shiver and made me feel it down to my bones. I huffed heavily and took a moment before going into action.

I'm not going to post the preview. maybe next time.

Anyone who can guess what happens? or can at least guess what is the title of chapter 5?
