ALANNAH CHAPTER SIX

**Alannah**

What was going on? I laid on my bed as I thought to myself, thinking about how I am going to have a real conversation with Connor without having the urge to strangle him. I and Connor don’t really get along, Now he’s harboring me in his house, meaning I’ll have to wake up and see his face each day and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Now, I wished I have a relative here, but, sadly, the one relative I have is my Uncle back at home and No, I will most definitely not want to go back to him.

Occasionally, I get scared Eddie would find me, but, at least I’ll get to Live a little before he gets to know about my whereabouts. I shouldn’t worry about him now. Just when I was getting ready to get to sleep, I heard some strange noises, I have no idea where the sound was coming from and I was not really keen on finding out, I had planned on ignoring the sound and just get some sleep, but, it got harder to sleep when the sound grew louder.

“Harder, Faster” I heard the voice scream. Puzzled “Is someone having s*x!” I screamed, asking myself. “Oh No, I can’t believe I just thought that, the voice might actually mean something else.” I tried convincing myself, mentally slapping myself at the thought that someone would be having s*x and also bring the whole house to the knowledge of it.

Just when I had shook the thought out of my head and want to retreat to bed for the second time, the voice came again. “I’m comingggg” I heard the voice scream and then nothing.

“Yes, Someone was definitely humping” I thought to myself, now unable to go back to bed.

Why would anyone scream that loud while having s*x? Was the s*x that good or was the d*ck that huge? I thought to myself sarcastically.

“I’m comingg” I mocked the voice I’d heard.

"Rubbish" I said to myself, standing up from the bed. I am really dehydrated, but, the thought of walking to the kitchen and running into Nanny McPhee had kept me still indoor, truth is, I don’t want to go through series of uncomfortable questions again and Ringing Lisa doesn’t seem like a good idea as the poor girl might be asleep and ringing would mean waking her.

After much contemplation I finally decided to just get out of my room and go get my water from the kitchen myself.

“Next time, I would bring a bottle of water inside and set it by my bed side” I was talking to myself while walking down the stairs. The house was really quiet and although I know I was not in any form of danger, But still, I felt the need to walk very fast to the kitchen, get my water and run back to my room, without having an idea as to why I want to do that.

I’d gotten lost couple of times before finally finding the kitchen, that’s how huge the house is. I walked to the fridge, opened it and took out a bottle of water and when I slammed the fridge shut and turned to go back, what I saw had startled me.

“Oh My God” I screamed, clutching my chest, almost dropping the bottle of water.

“Oh, it’s you, you scared the shit out of me” I continued in realization. It was Connor.

“Yes, it is I, I should be able to walk freely in this house, am I right?” Connor said, breathless and walking towards the fridge.

“Well, You could have gotten someone to run the errands for you, you didn’t have to walk down here” I said, turning to look at him.

“Hmm” Connor muttered between gulps, shrugging and downing his water.

“Seeing how sweaty and all out of breaths you are, I’m guessing that was you?” I asked. It wasn’t supposed to be any of my business, but as usual, I’d blurted out the question out loud before I even had a chance to think it through.

“What was me?” Connor asked, feigning ignorance and confusion, with one eyebrow raised.

“The screams and all, upstairs, the s*x?” Alannah said.

“Oh that? That was what You're referring to. Yeah, that might’ve been me. Why?” Connor asked, raising an eyebrow. I shot my eyes at him making sure my eyes would pierce through.

“What? I'm an adult, I am allowed to have sex, ain't I?" He continued.

“Not when you have a guest, a Nanny and lots of maids walking around” I shot back immediately.

“Now you’re going to dictate what I do and how I do what I do to me?" He almost yelled at me, but still maintaining his low voice and calmness. Connor must be really mad he had little to no effect on me.

“You’re right” I said. “But maybe next time you get her gagged so she doesn’t have to wake the whole neighborhood up with her horrible screaming and moaning” I shouted back while walking away.

“Who the hell does she think she is?" I heard Connor say to himself as I was walking back.

*********

Alannah is the only female asides Nanny McPhee and Julia that doesn't seem intimidated by Connor. The rest tremble even just at the mention of his name. He's going to make her fear him, he just had to. Connor kept thinking as he walked out, booing behind her.

Well, it’s his house, but, I need to be comfortable if I’m going to be staying here. I am not just going to shut up and get ordered around or pretend to be comfortable with something I am not and I’m not one to let a man have the last word, especially a man like Connor, he should’ve known that by now, I thought to myself as I was walking back to my room. It’s his house, but, well I’m a guest too, I should be able to address my inconveniences except it’s Nanny McPhee of course, I kept having this little conversation with myself.

I walked in, took a big gulp of water and set the bottle down. I moved towards the window to just have a look outside at the beautiful garden and the sky, it’s one of my favorite things to do.

It was then I started thinking about my words and how I’d fired at Connor back in the kitchen, he didn’t deserve it, well maybe he does deserve it. I thought to myself. But, I am going to be staying here for God knows how long, I need to know my place and also understand who runs the house and give orders around the house, I shouldn’t be all bossy. So, if he was going to keep having his flings around, the least I could do is ignore him and let a man do his thing, a man can’t be as ripped and handsome as that without having fleets of women around him, who wouldn’t want to be around Connor, he’s literally every woman dream and women would do absolutely anything to have a man like that in their life, but, preferably their bed.

I let out a small sigh and decided to get back to bed and try to sleep again. Going back to bed with thoughts running through my mind, my Uncle, Eddie, wouldn’t stop until he finds me, Connor wants to talk about me and now, how would I face him especially after my stupid outburst in the kitchen, apologizing is out of it, I will not apologize to him and further feed his ego, I’ll handle it all pretty well and if he wants to be childish enough to bring up a matter that's in the past, I am definitely going to tell him how childish he’s being. I laid down, retiring to the comfort of my bed and not long after I drifted off to sleep.
