#same name there

4 September

“Here you are, sir. Please enjoy and don’t hesitate to call me over if you need anything” … I smile politely, don’t actually do that. I don’t want you to look angry again. “Anything else you need before I leave?” Please say no, please say no, please say no-

“Indeed, there is something you might be able to help me with, tiny mortal.”, Gabriel’s smirk is basically glued on, a man who is used to commanding. “You wouldn’t mind to get sunshine for me, now would you ?” , his violet eyes flash with fire. Cold and dangerous, that wasn’t an offer, but a command, a threat even.

 There it is again, this nickname, who even uses such words in this century ?! And he looks so smug, like a cat with cream. I will need an intense kitten cuddling session after this. “I would love to, really. But sadly, Mr. Bureaucracy, Mr.Fell is unavailable for the moment. If you wish to see him, you either have to wait or come back later.” , I am not lying, Mr.Fell is away to collect rent from other tenants. But… i tremble innerly while saying it all.

Gabriel’s smirk falters for just a second before returning, sharper , colder, more dangerous. “I don’t suppose you could help me in the meantime, could you? It would be a real shame to wait until i find that book i wanna lend out. Ain’t it yup job, tiny ?” His head-tilt suggests that he does’t have much patience.

“Sure i can, what book is it? I will check if Mr.Fell left a note. With just a sec, sir.” That seems to soften his attitude, he even sits down comfortably and eyes the coffee cup. I hope i can actually lend the book to him, I don’t want to face his anger.

… Why am i getting treated like a kid ? I didn’t move away from home for that. Okay, breathe Lexi, breathe . He is just a jerk. A tall jerk, but a jerk. And we ignore him calling Mr. Fell “sunshine”.

“That would be correct, Mr.Fell did teach me some basics about working here, sir.” Lexi stands with a polite posture, deciding that if this Gabriel Bureaucracy introduces himself, then they should call him appropriately. “May I help you with a book recommendation or anything? I am suggesting you to try one of the biscuits, we have yet to have a bad review about those”

This makes Gabriel raise his eyebrows, not exactly sure if in surprise, intrigue or pure motion of being offended. He crosses his arms and huffs, with all the dignity an Archangel posses. “Biscuits? Do i look to you like i would appreciate those? Try again, mortal”. His purple eyes seem to have darkened but it might be a game of light and shadow.

I swallow dryly, oh my, he is angry about that. Okay, new plan! “Sorry sir, would you like some coffee or tea then? I heard it is very appreciated after a long day. We have a spot to sit in too. Want me to show it to you?” My hand tremble behind my back while i put on my best “please do not kill me” smile. Is this why Mr.Fell only has me, Muriel and himself as staff?! … oh that will be fun then

“Much better, little mortal. Let’s see that little corner of yours.” Gabriel follows Lexi with his hands behind his back, towering a good two heads over them. His eyes never lose an arrogant spark as he look around.

The tenant between Hell and Heaven

Chapter One : New Home , Old Building 

September , 2 

Today I got an apartment. Well … I still have to move in and all the stuff, but the paperwork is done ! Which means I’m no longer a homeless student ! … well it’s more like I don’t live with my parents anymore. Thank goodness. 

The place is nice, old and kinda antique looking ? The owner, Mr. Fell, is rather kind himself. Considering I’m only legally bonded into paying rent , the bills for internet and water. And thats all ! 

Considering it’s just 15 minutes away from my college, if you use the bus or train, then it’s a wonderful place. … it’s just that I’m much younger than everyone else here. Much , much younger. Mr. Fell or other people around here are at least 30. This going to be funny.

Let’s hope I can get all my boxes and stuff up to the second floor. … Im going to love this circular staircase, ain’t I ? 

Two trips over the staircase later 

I officially hate the inventor of stairs that go in circles. Yes , those are very beautiful and all. But hell , they aren’t tenant-moving friendly.
