He offered the dye to me while he gruffed out the question "Fairytale green?"

I took the dye from him and nodded in confirmation "Fairytale green."

"Good." He grumbled in approval.

To hide my smile, I turned back around and walked up the steps to the front door of my building.

A sigh left me before I turned around and faced the man next to the motorbike.

"Thank you for taking me home and for offering to fix my car." I delivered to him softly before I added more sternly "Which by the way, I am paying for."

His eyes narrowed and he sent me a scowl that warned me not to argue with him.

"I am giving you the money when it is fixed." I stubbornly stated.

"No. You are not." His deep voice informed before adding "I would do it for any acqenemy."

I tried to fight back another smile while I looked down at the ground to stop myself from staring at him.

"I better be your only acqenemy, Lurch." I called to him.

"Don't worry, Medusa." He chuckled "You are."

Satisfied with his answer, I should have turned around and walked into the building. I should have left all my thoughts about him at the door, but I could not move.

I was stuck staring at him.

He did not look in a hurry to leave either.

"I can't believe I am saying this." I mumbled under my breath before I spoke up towards the giant "Do you want to come in for a while? I have The Addams Family on DVD."

I had never seen him move as fast as he did as he followed me inside.

Chapter Fourteen

Chapter Fourteen

Stone motioned to the screen and grumbled "Why do you think I’m like him again?"

He was sprawled out on my living room sofa with one of his arms set firmly on the cushioned part of the seat behind my head.

I had never noticed how small my sofa was until the giant sat down and took up the whole space. He made everything seem smaller.

Throughout the start of the movie, I tried to budge over and give him more space. It never worked because every time I looked away and then back, he had bridged the gap between us.

"Lurch is tall and scary." I explained while laughing at the figure on the screen "You are tall and scary."

"You do not seem scared of me." He mentioned with a frown, nodding towards our touching legs.

"The closeness is not my fault." I pointed out "It is all to blame on your wide shoulders."

He did not look happy as I forced myself to shimmy away further from him.

"Move closer, Medusa." He demanded with a scowl.

I turned from the screen to him and raised my eyebrow while I questioned "Why?"

"You are hanging off the edge of the sofa."
