chapter 2- Gianna Miz

Not being able to process what actually happened in the kitchen gia was struck with fear. She was going to clean the mess but suddenly the bell rang. Giving air to the fire of fear. Gia closed her ears with both her hands and kept her eyes tightly shut. The bell rang multiple times but gia was in a frozen state. A few more times the bell rang. An unfamiliar voice of a man came from outside. "Hey i know you are inside. Open the door". said the voice

Gia mustered all the courage. Picked the vase which was on the nearest table in the living room. She opened the door and raised both her hand to hit the guy which she thought was a stalker from earlier. But before she could hit him he caught her wrist. "Was he so fast? Or was i so slow?" Thought gia.

"Hey hey hey, is this a new way of welcoming people ?" Said the guy holding onto gia's wrist.

"Aren't you the guy from the cafe? Did you were the one following me!" Gia said while struggling to free her wrist.

"First thing, yes I'm the guy from the cafe. And second thing i did not follow you" the guy said while freeing gia's hand.

"Then why are u at my place if you didn't follow me?" Gia asked raising her eyebrow.

"because this a responsibility of a good neighbor" Evan said with a wide smile.

"Neighbor?" Gia asked with a confused look.

"Yeah neighbor, i live in that house" evan said pointing towards his house which was right next to gia's house.

"Oh, i thought …" gia said with a embarrassed look on her face.

"That's okay. You are new here so it's normal to think like that, don't be embarrassed" evan said giving her a wide smile.

Gia saw the label which was on the package "for my beautiful neighbor"  written on it. "So you saw me yesterday?" Gia raised a question.

"No" evan answered. "Then why does the label says 'for my beautiful neighbor'?". Gia raised one more question with a doubtful face. "Because everyone is beautiful in their own way". Evan answered with a innocent smile. "What if i was a mafia or a killer?" Gia asked. "Are you less than a mafia? You welcomed me with a vase inches away from my pretty forehead" evan answered with a chuckle.

"Hmm whatever come in, nice to meet you dear neighbor. Let's take care of each other" gia said with a smile.

"Sure" said evan giving her the cake and cookies he brought from the cafe.

"Would you like to have some cinnamon tea?" Gia asked while taking the package from evan's hand.

"Hmm cinnamon tea, sure". evan said.

Gia went inside kitchen to make cinnamon tea meanwhile evan sat there thinking about his first meeting with his neighbor which was quite unique. He sure was behind her while walking but he didn't knew she was his neighbor.  After a while gia came with a tray with tea and snacks.

"Here is the tea and some snacks" gia gave him the cup of tea.

"Thanks, and let me introduce myself.

I'm Evan". He said extending his right hand for a handshake.

"I'm Gianna Miz". Gia said while extending her hand.

"Nice to meet you miss Miz. I think i have heard this name somewhere" Evan said sipping his tea.

"Daughter of Andrew Miz and the only heir of brandcez. Gianna miz" gia said smiling at Evan.

"Br- Brandcez… The biggest company in city B... Andrew MiZ the owner and the richest man of city B?" Evan asked keeping the cup on the table not being able to believe.

"Umm yes" gia said with a nod.

"I have seen you but i didn't recognize you. You are much more prettier in real" evan said.

"Oh! Thank you for the compliment" gia said her cheeks turned pink.

"But what is the only heir of brandcez doing here in city C?" Asked evan being curious to know.

"I- i……

Before gia could complete her sentence there was a loud bang in the kitchen. Both gia and evan ran inside to see what happened. Just like other time gia found all the utensils on the ground. Thankfully this time she did not keep the glass utensils on the racks instead she kept it in the box inside the guest room.

"This is 3rd time in these 2 days" gia said while picking the utensils.

"Oh, and did something else happen? Like do you feel cold or something?" evan asked while helping her pick up the utensils.

"No, why are you asking like that?" Gia asked being scared by the way evan asked it with a emotionless face.

"Not to scare you but there was a rumor that a ****** ghost lives house"  evan said with a gloomy expression.

"What? What should i do? Are you sure about it?" Gia turned pale by fear.

"Yes, But don't be scared i can help" evan stood up and started to go near the shelf. Gia ran behind him scared of being harmed by the ****** ghost.

Evan raised his head towards the topmost shelf. Looking at the corner most part of the shelf he said "i know you have a purpose to be fulfilled. But doing this won't help you. This girl can't be used. She is way too younger than you. So you better leave this place. afterall Living here will do no good to you, you better run away while I'm saying nicely because even though i cant call an exorcist, she can. You know right That will be more painful for you?" After saying this he opened the window.

"Di- Did she go?" Gia asked with a shaky voice.

Evan started laughing hysterically. Gia stepped behind.

"Evan, you alright?" Gia asked.

"Of course I'm, gianna don't tell me you believed this!" Evan said laughing hysterically.

Gia sighed dropping herself on the floor. "Of course i believed it and I thought you were possessed or something".

"Gianna there is nothing like ghost. Don't believe in it" evan advised her.

"Evan you are so mean, you know how scared i was just now. That's not a thing to joke about. And i believe ghost exist just like we human exist". Gia said raging with anger.

"So will you believe if i say I'm a vampire?" Evan asked raising his eyebrow.

"I won't. Because i haven't seen anything suspicious. But just because you said I'll observe you". gia said keeping the utensils in its place and moving out towards the living. Evan followed her and sat in the couch taking a sip of tea and looking at gia's pale face.

"I'm sorry about it. I tried to be funny." apologized evan.

"It's okay, i get scared easily" gia said raising the plate and offering some snacks to evan.

"How old are you now?" Evan asked taking a cookie from the plate and trying to air of awkwardness.

"I'm 21. And you?"

"I'm 23+1" said evan after a while of thinking.

"23+1? You mean 24?" Gia asked

"No. Just 23+1. Or maybe you can say i completed 1/4th of 23rd year". Evan said.

"Oh. You turned 23 three months ago. Why would you be so mysterious. Can't you say you are 23 years old" Gia said taking a bite of the cookie.
