The Start

Everyday I wake up, to the same cup of tea, the same breakfast... same everything. Ever since I could remember I never had a way with people. And it doesn't help that I have mind control and can paralyze anyone and many other things..... naturally I got noted for my abilities, after working for both side of the lines, I find myself these days lacking a sense of life, to put it into better terms. I can't find a meaning to my world, but for what it's worth my job does pay me well. And now I have to get to work.

**a couple hours later around noon

in a diner somewhere around NY**

ugh... sometimes I really can't understand how I'm still alive, technically speaking my job has a high rate of getting murder and yet I'm still fine. sigh..... who knew living would be a pain in the ***, oh wait. Me.

diner waitress" alright, here's your eggs n bacon with a side of hasbrown. and your coffee."

thanks.

somehow food is still one of those few things that isn't dull and meaningless to me. even as I eat my way through my food, I always catch myself daydreaming. Wondering... if I can ever find a purpose, or will I just go by like a ghost tied here. finishing my cup of coffee I get up leaving a twenty on the table, making my way to the cashier I wait as the waitress gets my bill...

waitress" that'll be twenty."

here you go. thanks.

walking to the door I'm about to step out until the familiar sound of two drunk guys come from a booth not to far from where I was sitting. I hear them talking to the waitress at first I thought not much of it until I hear a scream followed by yelling... ugh. This is a real pain, stepping back in I approach the two at their booth. looking up one of them tries to look intimidating, puffing their chest and clenching their fists. the other reaches for a knife on the table next to his fork, using my ability both of them goes into the same reaction and they'll stay that way for the next couple hours...

**later at my townhouse around 10.pm**

after watching one whole season on Nflix I walk to my bathroom, turning on the hot water letting it fill the tub. taking my clothes off I get into the tub, letting the warm water take the tension away from my body... this is nice. it's peaceful, looking up I stare into the vastness of my mind. closing my eyes I hoped that I could see anything else from my sins but I don't..... a knock on my door stops me Midway in my mind. getting out I wrap a towel around myself, walking to the door I look through the peephole to see a girl. with a luggage..... I think she got the wrong address but then how the heck does she have a pin that indicates she's from the company I'm hired by...

**opening bolt sound,

door opens slowly**

hi, you are?

mystery girl" hi, I'm Chase. and I'm going to be your roommate."

how come A.D.O.A didn't told me about you.

Chase" they said you would say no, so they didn't."

Fine, come in and take a seat on the couch.

walking back to the bathroom I grab my phone along the way calling to my handler in A.D.O.A asking if it's true to my expectations it is. sighing I hop back in to the tub, as I sink in it's warmth.

**a few minutes later after my bath**

Chase" so I see you live all by yourself. don't you get lonely?"

I ask myself that everyday. clearly not enough, so tell me what's a girl like you doing in A.D.O.A?

Chase" well I heard it pays well plus there's almost zero discrimination. and I get to do interesting things and meet interesting people."

alright then, why me? Why out of everyone did I get chosed.

you know what don't answer it, hey do you want some Hot Cocoa? and would you mind sharing the bed?

Chase" yes and yes. thanks."

who knew that I'd be ending my night making Hot Cocoa for a girl, and sharing a bed with her.

**the next day

the sound of cars driving by**

ugh... oh, right. I got a roommate now, I guess she's a morning person. Getting out of bed I stretch groaning beneath my breath as I feel my body stretch away whatever sleep it had left. Walking to my bathroom the smell of French toast fills my nose... well at least she knows how to cook. After my morning routine I head into the kitchen to make the same tea and breakfast, only to find that there's already a plate of French toast waiting for me.

Chase" morning, I kinda made you breakfast. I hope you don't mind."

thanks, it smells delicious.

eating our breakfast I find myself staring to my company, now that I'm actually looking at her she's actually rather gorgeous. But I can't find anything that could get her discriminated.

Catching myself before she notice I gulp down a piece of French toast with the help of some tea...

**a short while later at A.D.O.A hq**

so what's the deal with the girl?

Shirley" A.D.O.A thought you could use a partner so."

even if I do, are you sure that person should be a girl.

Shirley" hey it's not my choice to make. plus it doesn't help that almost everyone here thinks you need help."

help?! I dont need help! I'm perfectly capable of doing my tasks solo.

Shirley" I could take her away. But then she will lose her spot."

..... fine, next time you guys better tell me.

Shirley" alright truly noted."

as me & Chase get our task done for the day I take her to my regular diner ordering my usual Chase orders bacon & waffles. as we sip our drinks I usually like silence but this, is getting unbearable... and it's broken by the waitress bringing our orders. as we eat through our food I steal some looks, and everytime that I do there's a glint of something in her eyes.....

insisting to pay for the bill I decide to let her, not wanting to argue. as we walk out of the diner and back to my house Chase's hands trembles to the cold night breeze. taking off my gloves I put them on her hands, managing with a small smile.

Chase" thanks."

**a few minutes later

at my house**

do you want some Hot Cocoa?

Chase" sure. they taste great, hey is it okay if I go take a quick dip? I'm a bit cold."

go ahead, would you like some towels?

Chase" it's alright. I brought my own, but thanks for offering."

tending to the Hot Cocoa, the noise of the tub filling with water slowly drains out from my hearing until I hear Chase's humming... it's soft like a lullaby. Together with the Cocoa it's pretty soothing. After about twenty minutes, I hear the bathroom door open. and out comes Chase. Stealing a quick look, her hair's still wet though not dripping. Taking a pretty sizeable gulp of Cocoa it conceals my red cheeks.

Chase" so Leonardo, do you enjoy working for A.D.O.A?"

they pay well, and their shit isn't to crazy so... yeah.

Chase" oooh, Nflix. Nice! So what kinda movies do you watch?"

I'm currently watching my way through this series.

Chase" 'Chasing you' well then, what season are you on?"

I'm on season 3.

Chase" so fill me in?"

it's about a guy who's chasing a guy who's his friend and a girl who used to be his crush.

Chase" cool. So what's in Season 3?"

Now he's lost both of them. But I think he'll end up with the guy.

Chase" well then, let's start."

three episodes in and she's already asleep... turning off the TV, I carfully lie her down on the couch putting a blanket on top. Looking at the time it is late. I head to bed as well, sleep is practically screaming into my ears.
