Angel in white

ELEVEN

Early morning Merilize walked in a towel around in her room up to her wardrobe to look for something to wear.

Her hair is wet. Must've taken a shower or a bath.

Half an hour later she stood there deciding whether she'd prefer wearing a dress or a blue jean with a brown shirt.

"James!"

It didn't even take him a minute to come into her room only discover that she's practically naked.

"What's on today's do list?" She asked putting her hands on her hips throwing her on hip to the side.

"Why are you asking me?" He asked raising an eyebrow scanning his point of view on her while he has the chance.

"You're the man." She replied and move over to her mirror grabbing the hair dryer. "You might as well pull back in."

"About that, I was wondering if you'd like to come with me for a week or two to sell my house and a few other stuff." He said watchig her starting to dry up her hair.

"I can't." She replied with a sighed. "Somebody has to look after this place."

"Oh okay."

He took the hairdryer out of her hand taking over. She gave a little smile closing her eyes for a split second.

The room was quiet until her hair was dry. James grabbed the brush and started brushing carefully through her hair.

"You remember that night when you admitted the truth? You know about...?"

Merilize nod her head taking a deel breath in.

"I can't help wondering whether you didn't get what I'm trying to say or you blocked it from your mind." She heard him behind her.

"What are you saying?" She asked with a chuckle.

"Merilize, I think you already know." He replied and place his chin on her shoulder looking at her through the mirror with his hands on her hips.

"No I don't." She giggled placing her hanf on his cheek.

"I stayed on purpose. My batery didn't really die. I just disconnected it. I am...I may be inlove with you again Merilize." He replied and place his mouth on her shoulder.

"You just...wanted to stay to be with me?" She dare to ask him.

"Why not?"

She look at him giving a heavy sighed.

"Now I guess that's what's making us equally." She said and turn around looking at him. "I would've done the same for you."

"Do you think we stand a chance?" He ask touching her shoulder softly.

"I don't know." She replied with a shiver in her breath. "Maybe we should...wait a little longer, okay? Just to get use to living around each other."

"Won't be any problem." He replied sending her a smile.
