Chapter 7

"Vivian!!", He exclaimed in shock.

He called her name so loud, she jerked up from the bending position she was in.

"Oh, you're here! I didn't even see it hear you walk in"

"Wh... What's all this mess?!", He questioned, complete horror in his eyes as he scanned his room with his eyes.

Since the very first day he bought this house and started living in it, his loving room had never been this scattered.

Infact, the word "scattered" was an understatement of the situation of his living room.

He was standing in total chaos!!

Everywhere he looked, he saw rumpled and squeezed papers. If the papers were not not rumpled, they were lying dormant with something written on it. Pasted on his sofas and couches were small, colorful small notes. He also saw her shoes and bags on the centre table.

"Oh, I'm sorry... The firm that held the interview asked the applicants to make their best blog work. They asked us to come up with an three-thousand word article of a topic I'd never handled before. I don't how I'm going to get it done before tomorrow, and I need to get the job. Don't worry about the mess. I didn't know you were going to come this early", she shrugged and ventured to get back to what she was doing.

"First of all... This is ninety-thirty pm. I don't know when you think offices and companies usually close. Secondly, even if I was not coming home today, does it give you the right to turn my living room upside down?! Why couldn't you just stay in your room and do all this?!"

"I didn't feel comfortable in my room, so I decided to have at it here. I would've used my phone for all this, but I prefer jotting down my ideas on paper-"

"I don't care whether you prefer writing your ideas on paper, or whether you prefer writing them on rocks!! Whatever the situation is, ones living room is definitely not supposed not supposed to look like this!! How could you make such a mess in my living room, without asking yourself if I would like it or not?!"

"Dude, chill. I said I didn't know you were going to be back this early. Besides, if you want me to clear it up, you could just say so, instead of yelling unnecessarily", she frowned at him.

"Yelling unnecessarily?!", He repeated in disbelief. Did she just downplay the rage he was feeling on his inside to "yelling unnecessarily?!"

"I'll remove the papers. Whatever", she mumbled and packed the papers and went upstairs.

Anthony didn't know how long he was going to endure this pain. He was running mad already. He'd never seen someone as disorganized as Vivian, and it was affecting him.

He went to his room and took out his phone.

He dialed his sister's number and rang it.

"Hey, big bro! What's going on-"

"I thought you told me Vivian was "just an energetic and lively person"? You told me she wasn't as bad I thought she was, meanwhile, she's actually worse! You know I didn't want to do this! Now, I have to live with someone who lives life the exact opposite way I do so!", He complained once Rebecca picked up.

"Wow... I've been doing well, thank you for asking?"

He realized he was being too harsh on his sister, and he tried to calm himself down.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you like that"

"I didn't know you were having so friction with Vivian. And barely been two days since she arrived. What's wrong?"

"Everything. Everything is wrong, Rebecca"

"You have to be more specific, Anthony"

"No, you don't understand. She's so disorganized. She doesn't care about how I feel about how she does things. She acts like it's her house, and I'm the one who is being accommodated... She's... She's crazy, Rebecca!"

"Woah, calm down Anthony. Well, I'm sorry I made you go through this, but I just couldn't leave her stranded. I know you hate it when someone gets into space. I just think that you both have not found a way to cohabit and live together. You're two very different people, but it doesn't mean you both cannot live in harmony. Besides, you only have to endure this for a couple of months-"

"I can't take it anymore, Rebecca. I almost lost it on her tonight. Please talk to her before I do something bad"

"I will, I promise. I'm just very busy a project at the moment. At the moment, please try and tolerate her. Please? I really need to go now. I'll call you later", she said and cut the call.

Anthony plopped on his bed and sighed.
