TOXIC: Story of Masha

The Part 35

Not long after Masha sat on the sofa with Mike, there was a voice of people talking outside the warehouse.

Mike then walks out and checks things out on his own, while Masha stays seated on the sofa.

When Mike returned, two people with him were lifting a medium-sized mattress.

"Let's put it in that room!" mike said to those people.

Masha could only see Mike's movements with the other two people, without commenting much.

Mike was not just joking.

Mike seems to really want to stay in that barn with Masha.

Masha took a deep breath, and exhaled it slowly.

Although Mike's actions don't seem to match Masha's feelings, what can he do?

That place belongs to Mike.

If Mike suddenly expels Masha, because Masha is too much protest, then Masha will be confused to settle where.

And for Masha, finding a new place to live for him without having a penny, is not an easy thing.

Inevitably, Masha could only agree to Mike's request.

Little made Masha still feel calmer, because all this time, when Mike slept nearby, Mike never did anything that crossed the line.

Never mind...

If Doni returns to the place, Mike will explain the situation, and Masha will not have to feel burdened with Doni.

Mike was seen driving the men out, and remained outside for some time, before he came back in, carrying a suitcase in his hand.

"Big!" mike said, sitting on the couch next to Masha.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Mike.

"I was still full of our food on the way," replied Masha.

"Then, is there anything you want to do?" ask Mike.

"none. I just want to relax for a while, before working on the files," Masha replied, pointing at the papers on the computer desk.

"I'll help you later" said Mike and took one of Masha's hands, and held it tightly.

"You touch me too often" said Masha.

"Are you angry?" ask Mike.

Masha was silent for a while, while thinking.

Masha must admit that there is a sense of comfort, when someone holds his hand like that.

But, if too often, Masha may fall in love with Mike, and that's not a good thing, because Masha is now dating Doni.

Ah, never mind... Let it.

"I just kind of feel weird if you keep holding my hand like this" Masha replied.

"I'm sorry... But I feel comfortable when there are people I touch. That way, I know that I'm not alone." said Mike.

"So, I'm forcing you to learn to get used to it" Mike continued with a laugh.

"I think I can sue you for interfering with my privacy" Masha said.

Mike seemed unconcerned by Masha's words, and just kept laughing.

"Look, you were the first time I met you. You look cold, and seem to dislike my existence" said Masha.

"Do you want me to be honest about the reason?" ask Mike.

"Yes" answered Masha.

"Hmmm..." Mike muttering.

"I've been used several times... When I'm open with someone, those people just want something from me, then go away and leave me alone" Mike said.

"So, what about me? Didn't you think that I might just use you too?" ask Masha.

After some time I spent with you, I felt like there was something different about you, compared to those people" Mike replied.

"I feel like you look more like Doni... And you see, how I've been friends with him all this time" Mike continued.

Masha listened carefully to Mike, and it felt like Mike was serious when talking to Masha at this time.

Come to think of it, the royal Mike when feeling close to someone, can indeed easily be used for his kindness.

While Masha doesn't ask for anything, Mike can give Masha this and that.

What if Masha asks him, on the grounds that Masha needs him?!

Most likely whatever Masha asks, Mike will give.

"Mike! About, when do I get pay? I need new shoes." asked Masha to tempt Mike, pointing at the mountain sandal that Masha usually wears, which was lying on the doorstep.

Mike then looked at the door.

"Why didn't you tell me our time at the store yesterday? Want to go find his shoes now?" mike asked, standing up, and pulling Masha up a little.

"Mike! I'm just kidding!" masha said, and pulled Mike back to sit on the sofa.

"It's okay, I'll buy it for you. You seem to need decent shoes. I'm not gonna cut your pay. That could be your savings later," Mike said hurriedly.

"No... I don't need it" said Masha.

"I just need your heart." continued Masha jokingly, laughing.

Mike did not laugh, even revealing a serious look on his face, as if Mike was really surprised to hear Masha's words.

"I was just kidding... Don't take it seriously...!" masha said slowly.

Mike seemed to take a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, looking as if he was calming himself down.

"Don't joke about it again, okay?!" mike sounds serious.

"OK, okay!" answer Masha.

"Hmmm... But... May I know why?" ask Masha.

"No," Mike answered briefly, then stood up from his seat.

"I want to lie in the room for a while" continued Mike, then walked away from Masha there.

Masha just nodded her head, then stood up and moved to the chair near the computer desk.

After turning on the computer screen, Masha then worked on inputting data from the files into the computer.

While typing the data into the computer, Masha thought about Mike's movements.

Mike may not like the word about friendly things, because it does sound like nonsense, and seems to just use it.

How shocked Masha was, when suddenly someone hugged her from behind.

"Don't get me wrong...! I'm not mad at you... I just don't want to talk about that." Mike's voice half whispered in Masha's ear.

"okay! You can let me go now. I still have to work" said Masha.

Mike then released his embrace from Masha, without saying anything more.

Masha then continued her work.

For some time Masha in front of the computer, his waist and back felt quite sore.

Masha stretched her body, while turning the chair and turning around.

Mike is seen lying on the sofa, with his legs hanging from the side of the sofa, reading a book.

"Don't you say you're lying in your room?" ask Masha.

"I want to stay here" Mike replied, without distracting him from the book he was holding.

Masha returned to play her chair, and continued typing on the computer, while occasionally re-checking the paper containing the data.

"Mike! You still here?" Doni's voice asked, behind Masha.
