Remember This Ama(9)

I know I should leave
But when you are next to me half asleep
Your skin on my skin
Can't help the way I feel
But you cannot know there's no place I'd rather be, honestly
When I hold you close to me

Two days later

I was in the kitchen arranging a new stack of dishes Mrs. Andrade had ordered. The house was really lonely, Lewis left that morning without saying a word to me.

I didn't even see him leave, not even a thank you, I feel he was born rude.

He came back yesterday night and hasn't left his room.

Arian wouldn't be back till the end of the week, Ariana was also not coming back till tomorrow.

Emelda had made breakfast, but Lewis didn't come down, I had to go up stairs with his food.

I'll literally just leave it at the door

As I thought to myself, I didn't notice Emelda come in.

"What are you thinking about that's got you keeping you face like that" she said looking at me with a weak smile.

I jerked," it's nothing " I told her shyly.

"Has Lewis come down already" she asked checking for something at the top shelf.

"Well no, he's still up in his room" I said with distaste.

"Go up and check if he wants his breakfast upstairs" she told me.

"No, please you go" I gave her the puppy dog look.

She giggled, "why is that" her attention was turned to me.

I let out a loud groan, "he's so rude, he lacks manners when talking to a lady" I told her bluntly.

She came close to me held my hands,"he's just been through a lot dear, all he needs is love".

I stood there speechless as she went back to what she was doing.

Was I the only one who didn't know what happened to Lewis.

Did Emelda know, even if she knew would she tell me.

Should I ask her who Betty was.

Do I tell her about two days ago

Do I tell her he's kissed me before, not once but twice technically.

I think I should give it a try.

"Emelda" I walked up to her and she gave me her full attention.

"Can I asks you something" I wasn't sure but I gave it a shot. She nodded in response.

"What happened to Lewis, can you tell me".

She smiled at me," that's his story to tell not mine ".

"Okay then, who's Betty" I asked her.

She shot me a surprised look,"where did you hear that name from" she asked curiously.

"Well" my hand at the back of head," he said he loved Betty when he was tipsy two days ago in his room".

She raised her brows," in his room, what were you doing in his room".

"I-i kind of sleep there with him" I told her looking away.

I could see the surprise in her eyes.
