Giggling (away) Love

IJust why?

She stood there.
I stood there.
Zero stood there.

"Why are you here?"Rosalyn asked.
Clearly,she was angry.
Angry that she is supposed to marry someone like me.I could hear the hatred in her voice.
She just hated me so much.

Oh,I know why.
Because I'm prettier than her.
Ha.

"My house got ransacked and my parents are currently missing.Not that I give a shit."I told her as I crossed my arms in an annoyed manner.

"I see.Why didn't you go missing along with them?"
She asked as she crossed her arms and used a hand to toss her long hair behind her shoulder.

No one's worth if they're just pretty on the outside.

"Now,now.That wasn't a very nice thing to do and say ."Zero said .

"Bringing my so called "Fiancé" here isn't a very nice thing to do,Lawrence."She retorted.

Lawrence?!
That's his name?!
What's Zero then?

We then argued for a long time.
Until the time when Rosalyn had to go to work.

"Lawrence..."I called out.Not used to the name.

I still wanted to call him Zero.
Lawrence doesn't seem so fitting.
Probably because i've known him as Zero for quite some time.

He looked at me.
Waiting for me to ask anything.

"Why didn't you tell me?"I asked as flopped down on the sofa.

"She didn't tell me."He replied and sat on the sofa perpendicular to where I was.

"Why does she have white hair and you don't?"I asked.

"She's born albino."He told me.

"If she wasn't,then she would have red hair and green eyes too."He continued.

"Because we're triplets."

"Triplets?"I questioned.

Too much information to take in.
Like Mathematics.
Just confuses me.
How many secrets can one family have exactly?

"One of them has gone off somewhere."He said.

"So...your name is not Zero Anderson?"I asked him.

"Yeah...Its not."

"So your name is like...
MaryElizabeth Lawrence Dante?"

"Yes,actually."

"Why Zero?"

"Because my family is wanted."

"What's Rosalyn's cover name then?"

"Belrose Anderson..."

"Lame..."

"I know it is..."

I laughed thinking about Rosalyn's cover name.
It sounded so generic and boring.

"Are you still hungry?"He asked as he got up.

"Yesss."I told him with a hiss.

"I'll be right back." He said as he walked to the kitchen.

"Thank you,Lawrence."I shouted out.

"You're very welcome,Nicolai."He said as he left.

I put my hands under my head as I stared out into the ocean.

I felt tired already.
Why didn't my parents tell me before?
Oh well,atleast I know its true.
.....Or is it?(Dun dun dun.)

Ahhh,being rich is tiring.
I wonder how it is to be poor.
All you would worry about is getting enough money to pay for yourself.
Being poor.you wouldn't really need to worry about burglars from outside because city apartments have security.

Lawrence came back with a plate full of sandwiches and two cups of coffee.
He set down on the table and started eating.

I rolled over and helped myself.

"The coffee smells good."I said with my mouth full of delicious sandwich.

"Well its manually grinded and made into coffeee so it's fresh."He said as he sipped his cup.

I thought I was really hungry but I only managed to eat one and a half.Must have lost my appetite.

Lawrence was concerned.

"Does it not satisfy you?"He asked,sounding abit hurt.

"It does...It's just that I lost my appetite thinking about how seeing her is already bad enough."I said as I laid my head on his lap.

"I'm very sorry...for all that."He said.

"Don't apologize.It's her fault,not yours."

Lawrence nodded and continued drinking his coffee.
When he finished ,he stroked my hair gently.

"I'm abit jealous."He told me.

"Why?"

"Because you're going to marry someone."

"I'm not happy with it."

"Me too."

"Why are you not happy.She's not your Fiancée too,is she?"

"It's just that..."

"What?"

"It's just that I can't marry you."

My heart started racing.
Excuse me?
Did he say what I think he said?
I turned and looked at him.
Just to make sure.

Lawrence smiled as he continued stroking my hair.
I blushed and turned my head back.

Wow.
Just wow.
I'm happy but...
Rosalyn is a problem.
I didn't know what to think anymore.
To be happy or think about Rosalyn?

Lawrence laid down and put his arms around me.
My head on his chest as he snuggled against me.
I heard it.
His heart beating.
I synchronized with his heart beat after abit.
It felt...peaceful.
