"Don't you have somewhere to be?"I asked.
" Nope,"
" Ok then what are you still doing here?" I wanted to enjoy my new house to myself.
" Staying, the house is in your name but that does not mean that won't be staying here." He said plainly.
"Wait what... We are sharing a house, this is going too fast."
" You have no choice but to get used to it," he said while smiling.
" Then you will cook," to be honest I didn't really want to cook. I would mostly just order takeout because I was too lazy.
" That's fine with me,"
" Do you even know how to cook?"
" Mhmm,"
"Okay then, can you show me to my room." The room he took me in was big and the design was almost the same as Zack is room.
"I'll go wash up now," I said before entering the bathroom.
" Okay,"
When I finished I blowed my hair, wore some pajamas. I remembered that I was still working for Matt so I called him.
" Hello," he answered.
"Meet me tomorrow at a cafe. I will send you the location." I hung up because I did not want talk to him because it would just ruin my mood to sleep. I slowly closed my eyes. After some time I felt a hand around my waist, but I was too lazy too care at this moment. He wouldn't even move if I tried pushing him.
" Good night," was the last thing I remember Zack say that night.

I woke up on the bed and found that no one was there. Maybe it was just my imagination, but I remember someone saying goodnight to me. I found a white  rose with a letter on the table that was next to me. It was not their yesterday so it must have been Zack who had put it. I picked the letter and it read ' have a good day, I will see you in the evening. I made breakfast so you just need to warm it.' I got out of bed and got ready to meet Matt after breakfast.
----
When I arrived at the cafe. Matt was nowhere to be seen. So I found myself a seat and ordered a strawberry milkshake and hot coffee for something important. I drank half of the milkshake before I thought of sending a message to Matt. Just when I reached to get my phone from my bag. I saw him enter with Riana.

AUTHOR'S POV
Matt and Riana walked together and sat across Iris. Matt thought that Iris had come to apologize to him while Riana thought that Iris just wanted to get Matt back.
" Hello," Matt greeted Iris but he received a nod from her in return.
" Why did you call us here?" Riana asked. She was very impatient and just wanted to go to some luxurious restaurant. Iris looked at them for a while before handing documents to Matt.
" What is this?" Matt asked before opening the documents. Iris kept quiet and watched as he opened the documents. Immediately he read the the title of the documents, his face became ugly.
" What is the meaning of this?" He asked. Riana looked at the documents and saw that they were resignation letters.
" I don't allow it," Matt immediately disagreed. His company was only growing because of the help of Iris, he did not even know how to talk to the shareholders. Iris was always there to help him, so he couldn't let her go.
" Your opinion doesn't really matter because I am still going to resign."
" Hahaha... You know what Iris, you are really funny. You are trying to get back with Matt with these papers. It won't work, Matt is my fiance and he is with me now." Riana laughed.
" Riana you are really paranoid. I nolonger have feelings for your so called fiance." Iris smiled at the couple Infront of her, " infact you think you two can be together? The whole city knows that Matt is my fiance and you are on paper. My sister what would people think of both of you when they hear that my sister is dating her brother-in-law?"
Hearing Iris is words, Riana is face turned pale. She had only started to gain popularity in the entertainment world. Even though her true love was there, there would be inevitably be discussions about their relationships. Her competition in the industry would definitely use this against her. Things would then be problematic.
" Iris why do you have to be so overbearing?" Matt is face was filled with sadness, as if what was becoming of iris was an unpleasant sight.
" We were only here to hear what you wanted to discuss about with us. Since we are already done, we shall not disturb you." Matt continued.
" Hold on," Iris is clear voice rang out before they even stood up.
" I shall not dwell on the past events... I will turn down the labels that you deliberately put on me! Those which I am too lazy to tear down will not go to waste." Iris stood up with her hot coffee walked up to them and poured the coffee on Riana, causing droplets to run down Riana is head. Even the highest quality of cosmetic products could not withstand a hot shower causing her makeup to smudge. There was a brown spot on her white dress.
"Ah" Riana screamed. Matt recovered from his shock and pulled Riana into his embrace.
" Riana are you ok?" He looked at Iris with a look of pure fury as if he would strangle her at any time.
" Iris you have gone overboard," Iris picked up her remaining milkshake and poured it on Matt.
" If I, Iris Carter want to do something. No matter the nature of the act. I would rather be a bad guy than a hypocrite who stabs people behind their backs." She said with an innocent smile on her face.
" Matt...will I become...disfigured...will I... stop being...an actress" Matt hugged Riana tight as she sobbed. " You won't become disfigured and you won't stop being an actress," Matt comforted her before looking at Iris who had already left the Cafe.
