Chapter 3: The Agreement.
Neesa rolled on her bed uncomfortably as her head seem still too fuzzy to rouse herself from drowsiness. However the sound of familiar clicking and clattering of the keyboards immediately bring her to life as she raise herself to see a person with still half-naked body is now sitting in front of her computer.
There is no doubt it was the same monster in disguise, sitting on her roller chair with the blanket cover on his shoulder at the same place as yesterday. He is still naked....that was her first thought.
Shaking her head disapproval lewd thought in early morning, the handsome young adult turned around as soon he heard the shuffling of her bedsheet. He facing toward her with endeared smile plaster on his pale lips, however to her, in his eyes hold a different expression that he meaning to hide. Like a glass doll eyes, he keep staring while scanning on Neesa from head to toe. As if finding nothing abnormal upon her currently except for her messy bed hair, he chuckling while leaning his head in his palm.
" Your defense mechanism must be defected since you dare sleeping in my presence," Those smile immediately turn into sinister smirking which scared and secretly annoyed her at the same times. If it was not because of the stress of having to handle various of shocking events, she would have not faint and sleep like a dead already.
Then she felt alerted the moment 'dead' word struck in her mind, she step out from the bed quickly as she was looking back at her front door. There was no Mike's headless body, no splatter of blood, and not even the stench of it. It was like as if those blood-curling scene are just a nightmare in her dream, however , this handsome dude behind her are perhaps real. She turned back to see a pleasant smile of develish handsome male in disguise, the more he was smiling, the more her hair tinglings in fear.
"...What...happen to Mike?"
"Who?"
"T-the guy who had no head...."
"Oh," As if he realize what is she talking about, he rubbed his tummy while licking the pale lips. "I had him from breakfast. Every last of him."
That's explain everything, she bewildered in fear as she gulp nervously, thinking if he perhaps planning to eat her next.
"I don't plan on eating you yet, though." He said as if reading her mind.
"!!!" She jolt while internally screaming inside, is it perhaps her judgment time!? Why her death flag rise soo vividly!? What do you mean not yet!? Could it be he planning to eat her tomorrow because he just ate Mike today!?
No matter how much time passed, both of them still stare each other until someone stomach decide to broke the atmosphere, calmly.
GROAKKKKKK~

"OH MY GOD, ARE YOU HUNGRY!??" She shouted while scampering away into another direction which lead to the kitchen. She was about to grab anything she could to defence herself, hopefully it was a knife but instead she unfortunately get a spoon that she accidentally left behind during her rushed work yesterday. "STAY BACK!"
"Calm down woman."
"Yeah, speak the trespasser who coincidentally a human-eating monster" She threaten him with spoon directly pointed toward male who still sitting in half naked and poised like a greek god.
"Your making fools out of yourself especially with that spoon, but I don't mind."
"Oh, maybe you should, cause maybe I can scoop that goddamn eyeball and maybe if I'm lucky enough, I can make you scram out from my place----" She was cut by his snorted. Secretly offended and puzzle at the same time as he deepen his laughter darkly. His step down from the chair that he instantly melting himself into a snake figure, slithering toward Neesa in a blink, wrapping around her that she also end up twirling together in his clutches.
"Threaten won't work for me, " His snake form with the same 8 round scarlet beady eyes, looking down on her as his tongue flickering on her cheek repeatedly. " Instead, why don't we have a compromise agreement, setting rules on each other?"
The ticklish of his flicker tongue bring her goosebumps all over again, remind her it was one of the reason why did she passed out last night. Although he was in his snake form and wapping himself around her, she strangely find it was not suffocated as if being coiled to death. However no matter how much she tried to push away everything that coiling around her, his cold scally skin only return to wrapped her again.
Sighing in defeat while slumping tiredly in his beastly embrace, Neesa only glare upwardly at him defeated, only to amuse himself even more as he gaining his victory to conquer over her.
"Before we both having an important discussion," She looks over him, " Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry as you." He chuckles when the growling came over again, realization hit her as she finally realize it was coming from her stomach apparently. The redness spread over her cheeks as she finally understand the misunderstanding.
Am I too stressed more than I thought? She whisper in her heart while her stomach growling again.
After that occasion, the kitchen was now filled with vanilla scent as the pan was slowly cooking a honey color brown pancake, Neesa flip it over again with a tossed and finally the finish pancake onto another stack of it.
She had to make two plate of staking pancake since the male had been watching over her cooking in his small snake form around her shoulders, yep, he shrink literally in front of her. It seem this monster had ability to shape shifting regarding of variety of species. Just what in the world is he?
The numberless question play in her head but first, lets focus at not getting eaten. She pulled out a bottle of dark golden syrup and a can of whipped cream at the same time.
"Which one do you want?" She holding both of different flavour bottles toward petite snake, but then she considered again with a thought of whether the monster know what food is she holding right now. The snake fork tongue flicked as if tried to take a few whiff of scent and finally choose the syrup by bopping his nose at it.
Boop!
What the heck? That's cute.....WTF am I thinking again?
She sigh and shake her head as she pour it out the syrup over the pancake, she sat while laid the snake over her shoulder onto the table, wondering if he will continue staying in that form or maybe wondering if she ever saw a snake eating a pancake before.
Then she understood immediately when the snake crawling to his chair and transform into his handsome human form again (thank goodness, the table obscure his half naked bellow view). Thinking it's better start to learning how to eat like human, so the monster decide to stop and observe Neesa the way she holding the fork and knife as she cut the slice of her meal.
Is he observing me? She silently chew the food while the male still staring of to her like a mouse in the lab. Uncomfortable feeling finally had made her decide to take an action as she push his platter toward him closely.
"Eat, it's going to get cold."
"That is entirely incorrect since this flattening looking food just cooked 2 minute 34 second and milisec--"
"It's just expression. Stop staring (at me especially) and eat the damn food already."
"...." His eyes widen at her sudden raises tone, but since he already observe how to use the silverware upon the table. He grab the fork and the knife slowly and meticulously cut the pieces of pancake that already soak with the syrup. Neesa that secretly watching over him while munching her meal amaze by his cutlery skills, cutting his own pancake effieciently.
"Impressive." A word slip out from Neesa as he raise his face on her. "You did not make mess than I expected...enjoy your meal."
Neesa that just notice the awkwardness of compliment someone's table manner immidiately close the talk as she return back to eat her meal. Meanwhile, he who still have a pierced pancake in his fork stay motionless with his crimson inhhuman gaze laying on her. The 'Impressive' echoes in his mind, although he often heard it somewhere else beneath his unpleasant memories, somehow a word from her giving him out in purr of delight.
"Of course I would not make such a mess, learning how to cut such a motionless meal is much more easier than chasing a prey in dim light."
He smiled as he finally eat the pancake meanwhile Neesa nearly choke by her food after understanding the comparable gruesome statement that she probably should not have heard.
