Fidel and I had just finished eating the last ice cream when I remembered to ask him about Alexa.
" So....who's Alexa can I get my answer now? "
He froze.
Somewhere between when my brain had decided on my words and when they expelled from my mouth,i realised that the information I'd released was something I was much safer keeping to myself.
Because the uncomfortable grin,and the dangerous expression ,that crossed his face told me that I was most certainly not supposed to remember.
I was scared..... I did not recognize him anymore...and all the memories of the weird dream last night started flowing back to my mind.
I was scared.
The thud of my heart bellowed loud in my ears, which had started ringing acutely in the absence of the pain which had been searing through my head.
"I... Am.... I can't tell you about Alexa.... Well... Not because I don't want... Trust me... But I really don't know much about her.... "He quizzed his face, though nonchalant on the outside.
"Is that so?"
Our eyes locked, and I was frozen.

Alexa's pov
***********
The house had a dark red roof and beige walls,as well as brown wooden windows.I got out the car and was surprised to see such a beautiful house...it wasn't a mansion but it was something I'd definitely live in and would like so much.
It was an old house with the sanity of the hills around it. It seemed to have collapsed inwardly on itself somewhat, like a loaf of bread taken out of the oven too soon.
The roof sagged and the cedar shingles stuck up in places like wonky teeth.
"I'm sorry dear the house still needs repair soon.... "Mrs Nyakaraja said embarrassed. I liked it though... Just like that I didn't see the need for it to be repaired but I didn't say anything to this good woman who had decided to take me in.
She led the way inside the house then I followed closely behind and then the man of the house came last.
"So dear.. This is our small living room "she smiled broadly.
It was a little cozy room with two sofas that lay against two of the four walls....There was no TV.
"Come let me show you your room... "she said as if she could my mind. I was exhausted and wanted to sleep.
Whoa.... The bedroom contained a small bed, neatly made, two straight -backed chairs, a washstand, a bureau without any mirror.... As if I like mirrors anyway.... And a small table. It was amazing!
"I am going to live you to have a rest dear we'll talk more tomorrow... Goodnight "With that she walked out of the room. I could only describe this place with only one word... "Blessed "and I was happy to be here I could sense alot of peace and serenity.
