“And this is your bedroom,” he says throwing open the door with a dramatic flourish.

“I know it’s a bit small but it’s extremely comfortable. It’s the best room in the house after my room of course,” He adds with a cocky grin, the one that makes my heart go whoosh and turns my knees to jelly. I don't think he has any idea about how ridiculously handsome he looks when he smiles.

He is right though, the bedroom is excellent. Saying that the room is big would be an understatement; it is like a royal suite with a huge bed, tall lampshades, soft carpet and the best part French windows which open to a balcony overlooking the bustling city. I can totally imagine living here. The sunrises, sunsets, rainy days. It will be great. I'm so looking forward to it.

I'm so astonished that Arnaud's house is, quite unlike the bachelor pad I had imagined it to be. There are no plates strewn around, dirty laundry scattered, take out left unattended or pizzas under the sofa cover. 

The apartment is clean and smells of fresh roses which Arnaud has put in a vase. The floor is nice and shiny, so clean and bright  that I can see my face in it. Literally. The house is well planned and designed wonderfully added to it, is the fact that his bedroom is right across the one I'm occupying, but sadly, I could not look in as he had locked the door. I

I wonder If the apartment  is always like this or he cleaned it up just for me. I voice this concern and he just shrugs. The typical full body shrug that his country people have perfected and makes him look incredibly handsome and Very sexy.

Arnaud pulls apart the royal blue curtains with a slight shrug  and the morning sunlight streams in through the windows, illuminating the room. A fresh beginning, to a fresh new  day, and to my life too. Tomorrow is far behind now, there is no use of looking back.

“Zoya I honestly hope you like it. This is my modest apartment. Please be at ease. From now on this is your house too. If you need anything please tell me. Don't hesitate. Remember you are not a guest, you are my room mate. Feel free to use anything.”

“Modest, whom are you kidding Arnaud? It’s fantastic! I love this place.” I can imagine living here for the rest of my life. I add silently

"Out of my lovely half minute speech speech that's all you gathered?" He says with a smirk.

How can anyone look so utterly devilishly handsome, it disturbs me, I can't form a single coherent thought with him around me, forget framing a grammatically correct sentence.

"Honestly Zoya, This is your house too, Your company is the best thing that has ever happened tome, apart from having met you at Indigo and stumbling into your class." He says with a nostalgic smile.

 “ Thank you so much Arnaud for everything. I can never thank you enough. I would not be able to manage without you. Had it not been for you I would be homeless right now. Striving to find an accommodation or maybe living somewhere in a shelter for homeless people.I can’t express my gratitude in words.” I say, I can feel the tears springing to my eyes.

“ Shh Zoya,” Arnaud notices my eyes filling up with tears, he comes forward and embraces me.

It feels so right and perfect as though we are made for each other. Meant to be together!!  My head fit perfectly under his chin, His strong arms around me, soothing me. They make me feel secure and safe.

 I can stay like this without a care on the world as long as his arms are around me. I can climb the biggest mountain, swim the deepest sea, jump off a cliff if I had to. I would give anything in the world for time to stop Right Here, Right now!!
