My Lovely Murder

2

That night I woke up to Hazel crying. "Hazel, dear, what's wrong?" I asked, sitting up and wrapping my arms around her. "Bad dream." Hazel said, crying into my chest. "Um, OK. Well, um, jeez. How can I help? Sorry, I'm a little tired." I said. She laughed. "Just being with me is helping." Hazel told me. "Oh, well, that's good." I said, kissing her on the cheek. I made her lay down. I laid down next to her. I draped my arm over her and held her close. "Goodnight, dear, Hazel." I said, curling up next to her. "Goodnight, Alexander." she said, kissing me on the lips.

"Love you, Hazel."

"Love you, Alexander."

I woke up and saw Hazel wasn't in bed. I sat up. I saw the door open and Hazel came in. "Oh, hello, Alex, dear." she said, sitting next to me. "Hello, Hazel." I said, kissing her. She smiled. "Do you want food?" Hazel asked. "Um, yeah, just let me get ready and then I'll be out." I told her. She left and I got dressed.

I walked out and saw Hazel making bacon. "Hello, you feeling OK?" I asked, walking to her. "I think I am." she told me, kissing me. Hazel smiled. I stroked her hair. "Alex, we can do this after breakfast." Hazel told me. We sat down and ate some food.

After breakfast, we laid down on the couch together. Hazel laid on top of me. "Ah, this is nice and lovely." Hazel said, hugging me. "Yeah, just being with you is nice." I said. Hazel smiled. "Oh, God bless." I said, putting her back. We heard a knock on the door. Hazel get up and opened the door. It was the Mukherjees. "Hello, Lavinia, George, Jeremy, and Kiaan." I said, sitting up on the couch. "Say, is it true you and Ruthie kissed?" Hazel asked. Jeremy blushed. "Oh, really?" George said, looking down at his son. "I'm Jeremy's wing man." Kiaan said. "Am I in trouble for kissing Ruthie?" Jeremy asked. "Ah, Hell nah. I didn't want you to end up like Alex. Hazel's the one who made the move." George told him. "OK, that's enough. Do you want in the house or not?" I asked, frowning.

"We do want in." Lavinia said. They stepped in and we just talked.

"Say, on Easter, me and Hazel were going on a cruise." I told them. "Do you want to come?" Hazel asked. "Eh, I think we won't. But Daisy and Amin might." George said.
