Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 5

He watched as she surveyed his apartment as soon as they walked in. He was not sure of what to expect yet. Now, she might try to find a way to attack him, or she might want to stay with him overnight and then demand money. Should the latter be true, he would prefer to ask her to leave and give her money rather than have sex with her. Not because she looks filthy, but he would not treat this woman that way. He wasn't a virgin of course he had had is own fair share of experience when it's comes to sex but doing it to this woman doesn't just feel right. He observes her as she walks to the side of the room where his paintings are kept. She touched each one as though she was trying to grasp its meaning, and then she looked up to see him staring at her. Uncomfortably, she shifted away from the painting and leaned against the wall. Trevor noticed her discomfort and went into the kitchen to make coffee; when he returned, she was sitting on the sofa, not far from the paintings. He sat next to her and started drinking his own coffee after reaching out to give hers.

Since he believed she might be deaf or stupid, he began to question her about her background and her parents, using his hand to emphasize certain points. However, she surprised him by answering him in English with a Thai accent. She explained to him that she is here in pursuit of a better life while her parents are in Thailand. He is not passing judgment on her, but he was intrigued by her appearance and wondered why she ended up on the streets if she was there to look for a better life. He didn't ask, he only asked her if she needs to shower which she hesitated before nodding her head;this would be her first time pouring water on her body since her death.The cloth that she died on will be taken off today.somehow it felt like a big change to her. As she stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower, a thought struck her. Only when he is with her does she become visible to the outside world! How come she did not notice earlier? All these years no one has noticed her until that day at the resturant and she had sat on the floor speechless because one it's her first real encounter with a living human and two they are so mean.However, she had not given it much thought because she had always used her vanishing abilities to avoid being noticed whenever she saw a human, so perhaps she had gone to those people to ask for food, which is why they shoved her down.Although they may have believed she was a beggar, she was in fact one at that precise moment. She will not tell this man who she is, because he might think she is insane if she does. What would it sound like if she told a man, "Hey, I am a ghost? Ten years ago, I was raped and died.Remember the news story from years ago about the Asian woman who was discovered dead by the side of the road? That is me. He might think she is crazy.She will remain with him and act like a human until her promise is kept, after which she will live a note behind and eventually find rest. She may occasionally visit him, even if he does not notice or sense her presence.

As she stepped out of the bathroom nude she went to the parlor so deep in her thought that she forgets that as a human you are not meant to do that. She has been dead for a long time, and spending ten years as a ghost has altered her perspective on life, so this human life she is trying might not be easy. Trevor was seated on the couch when he noticed her approaching, He cursed immediately and turned his back.

"What the fuck are you doing"

"Huh? She answered confused of what he is talking about. Trevor cursed again. He forgot to get her a cloth while she was bathing, so he quickly pulled off his shirt and threw it at her without looking at her. She looked at the new cloth on her hand for a long time, feeling its fabric and inhaling the lovely scent of its owner, and somehow she felt human again, and all her memories of her life as a human came back in a rush, from her moments with her family to her leaving them, then her death in a place where she was to make things better for them, and suddenly she began to cry, then it turned into sobbing.

Trevor was taken aback and turned to face her, only to find that she was still naked, clutching his cloth close to her. Has he destroyed some feminine values that have angered her and caused her to cry? Although he has never understood women, he is aware that they cry a lot when they are upset. He turned around and moved towards her, hugging her and mumbling his apologies. He caught his breath when he felt the electrifying sensation of her skin against his own. He let her go, helped her put on his shirt, escorted her to the dining room, found her a chair, and then brought her dinner. Today's dinner consisted of the typical junk food he consumes when he lacks the funds to prepare a proper meal. He thought his guest would frown, but instead she started eating right away, her initial sadness gone and replaced by a humorous look of greed for the food. He wanted to laugh at her abrupt change in expression. She gave him a sheepish smile and slowed down her eating when she noticed that he was staring at her. Damn, now that she is clean, this woman looks even more beautiful. He had the impression that this woman might not be who he had previously believed her to be. After dinner, she cleared the table. one the habits that would never die even when she's dead.
