"What did he whispered to you? " Mr Francis asked me.

What should I tell him? I can't possibly tell him what Ethan had told me before going upstairs else, MrFrancis would be angry.

"He said I should make sure I don't skip lectures again.. " I lied, then he nodded. I seriously hate the fact that I'm standing right in front of Mr Francis and lying. Ever since I came into this house, I've been

lying almost all the time and I'm tired of this kind of life.

"Why didn't you went to school today? " Mr Francis asked me. He's calm and polite as usual.

"I decided not to go today, but I'll be going tomorrow.. " I told him.

"Okay then, but just try not to skip lectures again." he told me.

"Okay sir, " I said and immediately walk to my room.

I decided to go to the bathroom to freshen up, I entered inside and took my bath. Immediately I camenout of the bathroom, I put on another clothes and decided to go meet with Ethan.

As I came closer to the door, the door was opened and I took a deep breath of relief. I wasn't suppose to be happy yet because his door is open, what if he decides not to talk to me?

"Hi, " I said immediately I came inside his room but he wouldn't even look at me. He's sitting right on his bed with a novel in his hand.

My heart is pounding that I felt like it's going to come out of its cage at any moment.I really don't know where to start from or what to even say and adding to the fact that he didn't

bothered to ask me why I'm in his room made me frustrated.

"Hi, " I repeated but still, he wouldn't look at me. " Ethan I still want to say sorry, I was afraid since you'd threatened to deal with me that was why I didn't went to school."

He got up from his bed and went downstairs. I felt frustrated the more but I'm determined not to leave his room until all this is over. All I want is for him to tell me that he has forgiven me. And after that, 

I'll try my best not to offend him again. Thank god for the job I've gotten; I'll rarely be at home and I don't think there will be any reason why me and Ethan would have to quarrel.

I really can't tell what Ethan intend to do to me, only God knows and that's the reason why I'msupposed to make sure we reach an agreement. I want him to tell me that he has forgiven me and also promised never to hurt me. I know this is something really hard to get but I will never give up, I'll

try today and until he accepts I'm not going to that school. Who knows what he has in mind to do tome?

I ain't gonna leave this room until all this is over.

I rest my back on the wall since I was getting tired of standing. Ethan is a heartless being, I don't knowwhat he's going to do to me if he comes in and see that I'm sitting on his couch without his permission.

He has too many roles and I'm not ready to get into his trouble since he has decided to make my life aliving hell.

I've been standing here for a long time yet, Ethan haven't come in. Why? Is he trying to avoid this conversation? Whatever he does, I'm not going to leave this place. Since I'm tired of standing, I sat down on the ground and rest my back on the wall, l'm feeling really exhausted and I feel like sleeping.

 Tonight I'll be starting my new job and it's a night shift. It looks like

I'll have to have a little sleep to see if it's going to help me stay awake by the time I go to work. I close my eyes and by the time I woke up, the time was 6:00 pm.

I slept for over three hours. I got up and Ethan is still not in his room, did he deliberately left so that, he wouldn't have this conversation with me?

Hell, no!

What am I going to do now? Leave his room? What about what I wanted to ask from him? Will I be able to go to school tomorrow?

I came out of the room and walked downstairs and to my surprise, he's sitting right in the living room watching TV. Is this boy these heartless.

"I've you woke up? " he asked me.

"But I wanted to speak with you." I told him.

"Was that the question I asked you? " he asked me.

"Nope," I replied casually.

"Okay, " he said and got up from the sofa.

"Ethan I want to speak with you, " I reminded him but he wouldn't say anything. He was about walking out on me when I did something unbelievable. It's something I've never done before.

I held him by his right hand and pulled him back. I was surprised, and he was also surprised. Girls don't usually do this, and I think I'm the first to do it.

"Sorry I held your hand.. " I apologize, my voice shaky.

"What do you want from me?" he asked me.

" I want you to forgive me," I told him.

"I don't forgive people easily. " he told me.

"Even God do forgives. You ain't God and so it isn't supposed to be a big deal for you to forgive me. " I told him. "I know you don't want to see me around and I also don't want to also see you but I can assure you, I'll try to avoid you. "

"Okay fine, tell me how you're going to avoid me?" he asked me.

Thank goodness he's giving me a listening ear.

"I've gotten a job as a bartender. I won't often be at home and you wouldn't be seeing me often. " I told him.

" Being a bartender suits you," he said with a smirk. " I wonder why you're here in a house this beautiful. " he said mockingly. But that's not my concern. Let him say all the bullshits from his mouth

but all I'm interested in, is what his final decision would be.
