House of Pleasures

Chapter 13

***

-How is Alex?

-Why are you so interested, Amy?

-Why can't i ask a normal question?

-He is fine.

-You guys... Still together?

-Yeah. What's for dinner?

-Vegetable soup with pasta. Why don't you tell me more about him...?

-Not today,- Lilian stood up,- im going to take a shower, if you need me call to the white horse. Thank you.

As she went away, her sister was up from her seat, grabbing Lilians purse. She was searching. For what? She wasn't even sure herself.

-What are you doing?

-Agnes, please do not sneak up on me like that!

-Sorry, Amy, but what are you doing?

-I was just...

-You were looking for something?

-Damn... I was looking for some kind of clue, what is going on with her and that stranger guy.

-And?

-There is nothing.

-If Lilian knows what you were doing, you are totally doomed.

-No body is going to tell her anything, are we clear? I am worried, you know... She doesn't talk much about him. It's like he is a mysterie.

Agnes sat down. She didn't want to tell about Lexy. They made a deal, that it will remain their secret, but then again, Amy was quite right.

-What if he is using her for sex? What if he is going to sell her to some kind of prostitution?

-Don't you worry, Amy, she is grown woman, and she can handle her problems, if she has them.

-I mean, why doesn't she tell me about him?

-She doesn't want you to act out, like you always do.

-Wait, what?

-Yes, it is no secret, that if one of us has a boyfriend, you act weird around us.

-Well, thank you!

Amy stood up and went away to her room, while Agnes was happy, that Lilian locked her phone with a code.

She went straight to bathroom.

-May i?

-Agnes? What do you want here, when i am showering?

-I need to pee!

-Wait!

-Five seconds!

-Ok, fine!

Lilian opened the door, with a towel around her.

-Come in, don't be shy!

Agnes came in, closing the door behind her, and walking towards shower, opening taps, so the water started pouring.

-Amy was going through your stuff.

-She was what?

-Yes. I cought her. Do not worry, i told her to stay away.

-What the heck is her problem?!

-She doesn't trust Alex.

-I actually don't care what she thinks,- Lilian walked to the shower.

-Did you sleep with him?

Lilian turned around.

-Yes. I did.

-How was it?- Agnes asked, with a smile on her face.

-I would say, i need to do it one more time to make sure, how was it...- a little laugh escaped her lips,- and, by the way, i am going on a date this evening.

-You meant night.

-Yeah, you could say so.

-A date in the bed? On top of him?

-Probably yes, and not only on top!
