17| Confession

We were in my bedroom. I sat on the center of the bed. Alexander sat in front of me with his back towards the door.

"Who was going to hurt you Ray?"

He asked with his eyes still on the coffee, that he helped me prepare.

"What?"I coughed and looked away from him. He smiled to himself and placed the coffee on the nearby table.

"Look! I am not forcing you. When Carlton and Mai comes back, you have to answer them, specially Mai. I can help you to deal with this."

He placed his hands on my and pressed it. I glanced at him. He looked concerned. I removed my hands slowly.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?"

"Taking care of me. You don't even know me. I am a nobody to you.” I added, “Infact I am nobody to anyone."

"Well. You are my paitent. It's my duty to help you."

I raised my eyebrow and sipped the coffee placing a hand over my hip.

"Am I that ugly? I am not a.. You know.. Whatever you are thinking about me."

"No.. I wasn't saying that.  You are gorgeous.. I mean.. I don't have a brain."

What the hell am I telling? Fuck!
I kept a hand over my face. He was laughing. He looks like a prince. I don't talk to boys usually and When I do I just mess it up. I spoke once again taking a deep breathe.

"Okay, I will tell you everything. You are gorgeous. I mean.. Ahh. Okay, You are good-looking and it really makes me act like a ass when a guy talks to me. I act weird. I --"

"Okay."

He moved his eyebrows and blushed. I covered my face.

"Do I make you uncomfortable?"

"A little."

"Okay, Ray. Look at me! Just Relax. Think that you know me for like a eternity. I am your friend."

He grabbed my shoulder gently. Am I starting to have a crush on him. No I can't but.. I want to. I don't know. God. His eyes rested in mine. I smiled, he smiled back.

"Now, Everything is cool, right?"

"Yeah!"

"Good! Now Abrianna Ray Abellson. Tell me everything."

He is good, what if he is bad. We can't say a person is good just because he looks good. I can trust him. I mean he helped me. I think I should tell him.

"I can't sleep at night because I am haunted by terrible dreams. It seems so real and has much effect on my real life. The thing that happened yesterday was just another example of that. You understand what I am saying right."

He nodded. He listened with much concern.

"I didn't sleep for like a week untill last night. That's it."

"Since when does it happen?"

"I don't know."

"Okay, I will give you a little advice. Just for few days come and stay with us. I mean in Carlton and Mai's house."

I looked at him with much surprise. All of a sudden. Gru came in and jumped on the bed. I was about to stop him as I thought he was going to bite Alexander but instead he came sat peacefully beside me. Alexander ran his hand through his fur. They seem to have bonded. He turned his gaze at me.

"Look! Gru cares about you too. What I meant is. This house is big for one person. I mean it's normal thing. Anyone will freak out if they spent too much time alone in this house. Just for two days."

"But. I have work and Gru."

"Well.. It's Friday and you didn't go and tomorrow is a holiday and Gru will go too."

"But-"

"Just two days."

"Okay."
