My bedroom door jerked up alerting me someone has entered my bedroom.
"Aurora, get up and meet me down stairs in five minutes." Aunt Mary said as she dropped the laundry basket on the other side of my bed.
"Gezz, your room stinks." She murmured as she left my bedroom.
I sluggishly sat up on the bed with my sleepy eyes. I ran my finger through my hair, brush it from my face.
"Another morning again." I murmured. I told Emma to take over my shift because we swap shifts yesterday. I want to use today to rest and maybe take care of this dumpster.....my bedroom.
I am Aurora skipper and I am a Canadian. My dad left my mum when I was eleven, that sight still hunt me in dream. The only memory of him that I could remember was him leaving and my mum begging for him to come back which he didn't.
That broke her, she wasn't herself when my dad left us. At that young age I had to take care of her and myself. My aunt supported us, she paid for my high school and college fees.
Mum died of depression a year after I was done with college. I went to live with my aunt in Los Angeles and that where I am now. She treats me like her daughter and I would always be indepted to her.
I stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom. I took my tooth brush and applied toothpaste.
After I was done brushing, I came out of my bathroom. I glance around my bedroom, it was really looking dirty, I don't have time to tidy up my room when my shift at the club demands my present early at the the club and comes home late. No time to get some rest only on Sundays, but Sundays, I do extra shifts to pay up some bills.
I went out of the room.
I went to the kitchen and saw my aunt putting on an apron as she was preparing breakfast.
I breathed in. "That smells great."
She smiled. "I know."
I went to sit down at the chair in the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" She asked, staring at me questioningly.
I arched my brows."Just sitting down waiting to have my breakfast."
"Hahaha, that funny." She said. "Get up."
"What?" I asked sounding surprised. I slowly stood up.
She took a spoon and waving on the air. "I pretty sure you don't want me to hit you with this spoon."
"What did I do?" I asked. Still don't know what I did.
"Before you sit down and eat your breakfast, you have to be done with your chores." She went on."You have to clean your bedroom and do Emma laundry."
"Why me? Why do I have to do that brat laundry?" I asked.
She arched her brows with the spoon still on her hands. "She is your cousin and she has gone out to have her extra lessons. She will be really tried when she comes home, so she won't be able to do that."
"What about tomorrow? She can do it tomorrow because she won't be going out." I suggested.
"Do your chores then come down and eat." She said and went back to cooking.
I sighed and walked out of the kitchen. That brat doesn't do anything at home, she just eats and goes to school.
I opened my room door and entered. I started tidying up the place. Few minutes later, Aunt came in.
"Hey, I need to hurry up now and go to the groceries store."She held forward a paper." Buy the list of things written there. "
"What? Is that part of my chores?" I didn't take the paper from her hand.
"Yh, don't worry I will do the laundry but only if you go now."
I quickly took the paper from her hand. "Won't take a second."
She smiled and walked out of my bedroom.
I changed into an hoddie and put on a short jean. And I rushed out of the bedroom before my aunt changes her mind.
I left the house and went straight to get a cab. The grocery's store was one miles away from the house.
When I got to the store, I paid for the ride and came down. I went into the store and went to get the things written on the paper.
Some minutes later, I reached the snack roll. My aunt preferred Peanut to chips including my cousin but I am allergic to peanut. I hate what it does to me when I come into contact with it.
I got an idea, as long as I am the one who went to get the groceries, I would buy more chips than Peanut.
I started taking out bags of chips and putting them into the trolley. When I got to the peanut, I stared at them with disgust.
"Fuck shit danm it."
I heard a someone cursed whisperingly beside me. I took my gaze form the peanut and stared at the person. And behold, my gaze landed on the most handsome man I have ever seen. He was not only handsome but sexy too. He was putting on a black suit, his tie hung lose on his neck and he stood beside me facing the snacks. I guess he was debating on which snacks to buy.
He ran his hand at the back of his hair, looking frustrated and to me, he was still smoking hot. Just standing beside him, I could fill the hair on my skin rise.
He noticed I was staring at him and he glance at me. He furrowed his brows a little, staring from my head to toe.
Fuck I shouldn't looking at a stranger like this. I took my gaze back to peanut. I took five bags and dropped them into the trolley.
I stole a glance at the guy but he wasn't staring at me. I guess he just had to pretend I wasn't there.
"Will you stop staring." He seethed coldly without glancing at me.
Fuck I gave this stranger a creepy vibe.
"Ohh am sorry of that if it made you feel uncomfortable." I applogised.
He didn't say anything, instead he moved a little further away from me.
I stared down at his trolley and he hasn't picked anything he liked.
Wasn't he going to buy anything? I glance at him again, he hands were in his pocket, staring at the snacks in front of him.
It looks like he needed some help with that. I should probably......go help him out.
I strolled to him. "You need any help with that?"i asked politely.
He glared at me." No I don't. "
I smiled. He is shy
"You're not the only one who has problems getting to pick what snacks to buy, I do some times and if anyone could volunteer to help me in choosing the snack to buy, I would gladly accept it."
He didn't say anything.
Okay, a little further would make him surrender his ego.
"Hmm, if you are the kind of guy who likes eating snacks and doesn't have any special, you should go ahead and take any of them. They are all going to end up tasting good in your mouth." I went on. "But if are the type that don't like spicy snacks, you should take the cookies. They are wonderful."
He sighed and turned to me. Omg, this guy is so cute. Even when frowning.
"Are you one of the staff who works in this store or you are just here to get some groceries?" He asked. His tone was harsh but I just ignored it, only because he was cute and I think I like him.
I Smiled. Didn't he see the trolley I am holding. "I don't work here, I am a customer just like you." I tugged my hair at the back of my ear.
"Good, mind your business." He turned back to the snacks.
That was rude....
I will allow it because I know the type of person he was. The guy that think every girls that stars at him like him. Well, I don't think I am that type of girl. I only want to help him out.
"You should take the cookies if it isn't for you, I know you don't eat snacks. The person you're buying it for won't refuse cookies especially the chocolate cookies." I said.
He snaps his head to my direction, it was like I said something that he didn't want me to say. But what did I say that he wasn't expecting.
He took two quick step towards me, he was dangerously close to me face.
Men, how did he move every that fast.
"Who sent you?" He asked grimly.
What the hell?
"I won't ask again, Puttan." He said. The tone was cold as ice and it gave me bad vibes. Gosh, what have I gotten myself into?
"I... I..d...don't know what you're saying." I stammered in fear. "I was only trying to help out."
He stared closely into my eyes without saying anything. It looked like he was reading my mind as he stared at my soul through my eyes.
"You better watch your back Puttan. I can fucking kill you if I find you spying on me again."
Spy? He going to kill me? Who the hell is this dude?
"Am not a spy." I blurted. I know he could sense the fear in me.
"I don't buy what you say, just be careful." He stood up straight and went back to his trolley.
Psychos still come to groceries store? I better get out of here or this would be my last time seeing people.
I took my trolley and walked away, I went to the cashier.
"Please can I get the bills?" I asked. My voice was still shaking and my heart was racing like I just saw a dead body in front of me.
"Are you alright Ms?"The cashier lady asked.
"Yeah I am." I said sharply.
The lady looked at me astonishly.
"Am sorry but can you quickly do that fast." I said in an hurry to leave this store.
Few minutes later, she was done and had already packaged the groceries I bought.
I paid with my card and took everything I bought. I walked out of the grocery store and called a cab.
My mind became relaxed when the cab started moving. I was finally out of that psycho presence.
This is a wonderful lesson to learn, always mind your business when you're out of your house.
Geez I almost got myself killed today.
