**Cornelia POV**
I was now sitting with the landlord while the unconscious man remained on the ground, not that I gave a damn.
"Sorry, Cornelia," Mr. Will started. "I know you must be scared about what happened today."
"Get to the point, Mr. Will. Who's that guy?" I said, pointing at his unconscious body.
He sighed. "That guy lying on the floor has rented this house for two years," he said, pausing as he looked at me.
"Two years?" I exclaimed. "What does that have to do with him being here now?"
"See, Cornelia, he's paid to stay here for two years, and he never came once."
"And I said"
"And his rent hasn't expired. There's still a year left on his lease."
"Wait... so you're telling me his rent hasn't expired, and you let me rent the house anyway? Why?"
"Sorry, I don't remember him not coming around, so I thought he'd traveled out of town or even died," he said, glancing at the man.
"Omg, I can't believe this."
"Sorry, Cornelia, but you two can live together until his rent expires," he suggested.
"I can't live with him. I don't know him, and I don't know what he's like," I said, remembering the kiss.
I groaned. That was my first kiss, I thought, glaring at his unconscious body.
And I can't move out, because this is the only house I can afford that's near my school, I thought.
"So what are you going to do?" he asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I sighed. "Nothing. I just have to wait for his rent to expire, because there's no way I'm leaving this house for him."
"Okay, that's nice," Mr. Will said, standing up.
"Where are you going?" I asked, seeing him head toward the door.
"I'm going to pick my daughter up from the airport," he said.
"I understand you want to pick her up, but what am I supposed to do with him?" I said, as we both looked at the man.
"I don't know you're the one who knocked him out," Mr. Will said. "You just need to wait for him to wake up and explain everything to him yourself," he said, patting my shoulder and walking out the door.
I sighed in frustration as I sat on the couch. I can't believe this is happening to me.
"Ahhh," I heard the unconscious man groan as he opened his eyes, his forehead furrowing.
"My head hurts," he said, hand on his head.
"Guess he's awake," I said, standing up and walking over to him.
He sat up straight as I crouched down.
His eyes widened. "Who are you?" he said, forehead still furrowed.
I sighed. I didn't know where to start not after what had just happened, with him kissing me, and now the landlord telling me we'd be living together and blah, blah, blah.
I groaned. This was frustrating. I felt like crying. This is going to be the worst year of my life.
