Boyfriend For Rent

Nathan POV

After touring the city with Nora, we finally decided to go back home.

Driving into the compunde, I parked neatly at the parking lot, and alighted with Nora, before heading to the entrance door. Nora walked away to her room, as soon as we walked inside, while I slumped on the couch tiredly. I’ve had a very hectic day, Nora was dragging me from one place to another, and made me do lots of shopping. I’m soon gonna leave this place, she’s gonna kill me before my time.

My phone alarm came blaring, and that was when I remembered that I have wrestling match to watch. Missing the match, is what I’ll never miss, especially when it has my favorite wrestler in it, Roman Reigns. Wrestling is my favorite show, and trust me, whenever it’s time to watch it, I do abandon my work to go watch it, I wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world.

I quickly stood up to grab the remote and turn the TV on, but was met with an empty space, as I couldn’t find any remote on the center table. Gosh! This dude is so annoying, where the heck did he take the remote to?

Letting out an angry groan, I quickly stood up, and went straight to the stairs, climbing it crazily, like someone was chasing me. Once I got to his door, I pushed it opened, without bothering to knock, as I was welcomed with him, sitting on the edge of his bed, with his face buried in his palms. As much as I wanted to ask what the problem was, I couldn’t bring myself to asking, knowing my time will be more spent there, which means missing the match.

“You didn’t have to barge in like that, did you?” He rolled his eyes, as he raised his gaze to face me, with a tired look on his face.

“Ivan where’s the remote please?” I asked hurriedly.

“Oh that…, the crazy girl next door came to get it.” He said sarcastically, and laid down.

I tilted my head confusingly, trying to understand what she just said. You wouldn’t blame me, right? I mean, we have only one neighbor in the whole house, which happens to be Eve alone, and the last time I checked, I don’t think Eve will be so poor, not to afford a TV remote, and coming to borrow ours.

“I don’t understand Ivan.” I said truthfully, coz the whole thing is crazy and confusing.

“Well, the idiot came to seize it man. She barged in here, and was… please just go already, I have alot on my mind now.” He said dismissively.

“You’re crazy dude.” I huffed, before leaving the room. I went straight to Eve’s house, and once I got to her door, I placed a knock on it, and a few seconds later, the door opened, revealing her in a short gown, which stopped right after her thighs.

“Na… Nathan!” She called, with a nervous smile on her face. I wonder why she’s always nervous, each time she sees me, heck! She’s gonna make me uncomfortable around her.

“Yeah. How’re you doing today?” I asked, with a smile on my face.

“I’m fine. Mind coming in?” She offered.

“Oh! Not to worry. Uhm, I actually came for the remote. My brother must’ve gotten you so pissed, to have seized the remote, I know how annoying he can be, so can you please forgive him?” I made a puppy face.

“Oh wow, you’re siblings with that jerk?” She scoffed, having an unbelievable look on her face.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Sorry to say, but I think you should stop referring to him as your brother, I mean, don’t let anyone know that you’re in any way related to that idiot.” She huffed angrily.

Only heaven knows what Ivan must’ve done to Eve, but I know she’s so mad at him.

She walked inside, and came back with the remote, before handing it to me, after which I thanked her, and went back home….

Eve POV

I can’t still believe this whole shit! Ivan is Nathan’s brother? What a crazy world.

Walking back into the house, I made my way straight to the kitchen, and arranged some junk foods, before going back to the living room.

Slumping on the couch, I started eating hungrily, like I haven’t eaten for years. The sound of my ringing phone, forced my attention from the food, and tilting my head to look at the screen if the phone, I rolled my eyes at the caller, before reaching out to the phone. Sliding the answer button, I turned on the speaker, and dropped it on the table.

“Hey Eve, this is manager Joe of Apple cosm…”

“I know, what do you want?” I cut him off, before he could finish his statement. I know I should be more polite with him, but he’s just disturbing my peace for fuck sake. I don’t know why I hate him this much. From the first day I set my eyes on him, I’ve always hated him alot.

“Congratulations miss Eve, you’ve been endorsed to our company. You’re now a permanent model in our company. Could you please come over to the company on Monday, for some documents signing?” His voice came on.

Ok should I be happy about this stuff? There’s nothing so interesting in the company. Though the pay is higher than all other companies here, but I don’t just know why I don’t like it, maybe it has something to do with the people there, especially their manager. Gosh! I hate that foolish man alot. Not that he’s done anything wrong to me, but I don’t just like him.

“Ok.” I replied simply, and without waiting for his next word, I hit the end button, and the call disconnected. Who the heck gave him my number? Now I’ve lost my appetite.

I sighed, as I dropped my phone on the table, and rested my back on the couch. Everything sucks me, just every fucking thing.

My phone came ringing again, and I felt the urge to just grab and smashed it into pieces. Who the heck is calling me now? I just wanna be alone, can’t they get it?

Reaching out to the phone, I almost cringed at the caller, Dad? Why’s he calling me? Not again…
