Submission novel Chapter 6

When I used to live with my family I always used to find myself very lonely. I did not have any friends who I could trust enough to tell everything. I did try once and it ended up very badly.

After moving out of my parent's house, I thought things will be better and I will be able to open up, but boy was I wrong. I guess I would have stayed alone for the rest of my life if I haven't meet Liza at the club where I worked that day.

But today, sitting here with this total stranger I can't help but feel that I made a new friend. Ivan is nothing if not cocky. He is a jerk I know but understanding at the same time. When he asked about my family I felt uncomfortable but perhaps something on my face gave it away because he changed the subject to coffee immediately.

We were sitting in the living room in front of the small fireplace when I heard a car pulling into the driveway. The crunch of the gravel underneath the tires, the car door being shut, and the ring of the doorbell announced that Ivan's friend has arrived. I was getting up from the sofa when Ivan was already at the door greeting his friend.

I smiled to myself at how Ivan has already made himself feel at home.
