Melody POV

Waking up to another beautiful which is Saturday. It means no job, no stress from my boss. I stretched my whole body and came down to the bed. I was enjoying the morning sun that shone brightly into the room when a cloth met my forehead.

"Stop lazing around and get up," Lorena said to me.

I removed the clothes from my forehead and yawned. "I'm not lazing around. I just woke up and I have some incredible news." I announced happily.

"What do you have to say?"

I looked around and didn't see a certain someone.

"Where is Hope?"

"Oh, she downstairs with the receptionist's daughter," Lorena replied.

"Alright then. What I have to say is concerning our accommodation?"

"Are you afraid madam samosa will come to Mecianda? Are we leaving this country? Melody we can't do that."

"Let me..."

"No you listen to me," she interrupted and began to speak angrily in Italian.

"Are you done?" I asked her when she stopped talking.

"What do you mean by that? I am not done!" She shouted and when she tried to talk again, I shut her up.

"Enough!" I yelled. "Listen to me before you jump to conclusions," I told her and she nodded in defeat. "We are not leaving mecianda. Although I thought of it we are staying here."

"So what do you mean when you said we are moving?" Lorena asked.

I sighed and placed her hands into mine. "I found an apartment for us," I announced and she nodded.

That wasn't what I expected her to do. I wanted to scream and be happy that we were finally leaving this hell hole.

Ignoring her reaction, I proceeded with what I wanted to say. "I figured staying in this motel won't be good for us, especially Hope. She needs a good environment." I said and Lorena nodded again. "Why won't you say anything and just nod like a chicken?" I asked angrily.

Lorena didn't reply at first but when she saw the angry look on my face, she stood up and walked to the window side. "It's not as if I'm not happy that we are moving but..." She paused.

"But what?" I also stood up and walked to where she was standing. I stood beside her and touched her shoulder.

Lorena looked at me with tears in her eyes and quickly wiped them away with her hand.

"Why are you crying?" I quickly asked. "Are you mad because I yelled at you? If that's why then I'm sorry." I apologized.

"That's is not why. I'm not mad at you for yelling at me. I'm just mad at myself."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not doing anything! You are the one working and looking around for accommodation while I sit down and do nothing."

"I'm not complaining Lorena. You are always with Hope and that is okay for me."

"You don't get it, do you? I want to work and be able to put food on this family table." Lorena argued.

"I get your point Lorena and you are trying to make sure that all the responsibilities won't be on my neck." I sighed briefly and then pulled her for a hug. "It going to be okay. Everything is going to work out sooner or later," I assured her.
