20| The Minature House Party (2)

"Did you have fun?"

Alexander turned his gaze towards me. I nodded. He stood up and glanced towards their bedroom with a hand on his waist. I attempted to gather a little information about him, which was quite unlikely of me.

"How did you know Carlton?" 

He turned to face me, A warm smile spread over his face, He got back to his seat and poured himself another glass of beer.

"We read in the same school in the Uk. What about you? How did you know them?"

"I was their new neighbor and then we became friends gradually."

"That's nice, Carl and I were almost best friends, I still had contact with him, When he heard I was moving to New York, He offered me to stay with them."

There was a silence between us, after sometime Alexander broke the silence and asked.

"Mai told me before I came here, Both of them offered you to stay here."

"Yup. When did she tell you that?"

"Remember the first day, I came here. She said it as soon as you left."

I shrugged and rolled my eyes.

"Why didn't you agree?"

"I don't like to share a house with someone. Call me selfish, if you want. I also feel really awkward to live with a couple."

"That's a lot of honesty."

I laughed and tied my hair into a bun. He sipped the beer and placed his leg over the other and said, "The thing you said about feeling awkward is quite true. "

I turned to look at him. He nodded.

"It's just been, 3 weeks that I moved in and there's a lot of embarrassing moments that I have faced, I saw both of them making out twice in the kitchen. On the first day, I found underwear on the bed."

"What did you do with that?"

I giggled and kept a hand over my face. He shrugged.

"That was pretty awful as I didn't know what to do with that. You know it would have been really embarrassing if I gave it back so I just threw it at the corner so, It looked like I didn't notice."

I couldn't help but laugh. He grinned and glanced at his watch. All of a sudden I asked,

"Why did you move to New York?"

"Well.. "

He shrugged.

"I wanted to move on. My girlfriend died in a car accident and you know. "

Why the hell did I ask this question?

"I am really sorry."

"Yeah!"

He pointed the beer bottle towards me and asked,

"You want some. It looks really bad that I am drinking and drinking like a drunk bastard and you are sitting there like an underaged kid."

"No, It's okay."

°°°

1 hour went by and Carlton didn't come out. For the first time in my lifetime, I was talking to someone else rather than Mai (In her case, she is the one who keeps talking, I just shake my head.)

Alexander was born in Greece, his parents died in a car accident when he was 12. He then shifted with his uncle in the Uk. I was quite proud of myself as I was the one who was asking questions and I am guessing that I am drunk, as asking questions is not my thing.

"You know it's kind of unusual when people give much attention to me.” I said, still sitting on the couch.

He stood up and didn't look at me, He just smiled and said, "That's because you spend way too much time alone and why is Carl not coming back?"

"I don't know,"

I stood up and managed my shirt. He rolled his eyes at the door and walked towards it and placed his ears gently on the surface.

"Seriously!"

He exclaimed placing a hand on his waist and shook his head. He was annoyed.

"Carlton slept, just like that."

"How do you know that?"

"He snores like a god damm pressure cooker."

What the hell! He was supposed to sleep with Alexander and on the other hand, I would share the room with Mai.

"You know I can go back to my house."

I said glancing at him, he was glaring at the door.

"Nope, You can go and sleep in the other room."

"What about you?"

"I will sleep here on the couch. Just give me a blanket and pillow."

"Umm. Are you sure? You know I can just go back to my house, that's not a big deal "

"Yeah and me sleeping here on the couch is not a big deal either."

"Fine." I mouthed and did as he says, I brought him the pillow and a blanket.
At first, It felt really weird. I crept towards the bed like a thief.

'I don't know if it's gonna work or not.'

I gently climb up and slept.
