I Thought You Were Really Sick

" Aunt Jamie "call Elin while walking out of the room where she slept last night, "Gorgeous good morning " said Larry, who was sitting on the dining table chair, and Jamie looked very busy in the kitchen.

" Hay, you're awake" said Jamie smiling and looking so excited.

" Sit down "again.

" I'm sorry I'm late" Elin said, joining Jamie in the kitchen.

" It's okay, I did deliberately no longer wake you up "

" Did aunt wake me up before ? " asked Elin so embarrassed and Jamie nodded with a smile, "you fell asleep so soundly" she explained.

" Aunty should have kept waking me up "

" I'm not that calm, sit down "

" I'm so clueless" said Elin and walked to the dining table because Jamie was done with his work in the kitchen.

" Have you left for work ? " he asked Larry," Miss "

" Can I come home with you ? "

" Of course "

" Is there anything you want to do today ? " so Larry continued, "no uncle, even I'm so not excited to go home to my apartment "

" Then stay here" Jamie continued.

" If you don't mind, do you want to accompany the abusive aunt "take her again.

" Of course, it would be a lot of fun" said Elin no less excited, "but there is very dirty" said Jamie.

" Dirty is better " said Elin laughing.

" Where did you get that figurative phrase Miss "said Larry who felt unreasonable, "forget it, it was just a promotion of a detergent ad from my country" he obviously did not stop laughing.

" You're so funny" said Larry, "so are you going home ? " ask again.

" No, aunt's offer is more tempting than where I live" Elin said.

" Stop talking to Larry, he hasn't touched his breakfast since because of you" said Jamie, making Larry fold his lips and Elin immediately devour the Sandwich in front of him.

But suddenly he fell silent and stared so meaningfully at the Sandwich who had just been bitten by his teeth, and left the piece of food without chewing from inside his mouth, "what's up ? " jamie asked seeing Elin speechless, "no aunt, I just became reminded of someone" Elin said unconsciously.

" Em ..I mean just. "he continued so nervous after realizing what he had just thought, "Is he such a special person ? " ask Jamie smiling, but the question makes Elin speechless and sighs.

" You look so in love with her" Jamie continued and Elin turned her gaze to the middle-aged woman, "Are you really, is that so noticeable ? " continue Elin smiled wryly.

" No, I've only heard an inspiration say something like this, if you remember someone for something and then you're sad, it means he's so precious in your heart , and what he said was true, 'Every time I see things that are related to my daughter's memories, I always get sad and yes she's also right because my daughter is so precious " jamie said with a smile so shady.

" Yes he is indeed so precious to me but I don't know what I look like to him "weakly muttered Elin.

Jamie and Larry throw each other a glance, when they see Elin lowering her face, "Today your sandwich is so delicious" Larry said, "I'm sorry, miss, I have to take your part " he took Elin's share.

" Larry , why are you so greedy" Jamie shouted at her husband.

" You hear him, he says it's okay" Larry said in self-defense, when all he did was to divert a situation that was starting to feel a little sad.

" But he just took one bite "

" it's okay auntie, we can make it again " said Elin," yes she's right Jamie's, and again this sandwich has made her sad so I have to eliminate her " larry's words make Elin laugh and Jamie can only shake his head at her husband's ridiculous manner.

" Is this a supply for a week's meal aunty" Elin said as she noticed the many bags they were carrying, "you don't know how much your uncle eats every day , maybe this is just enough for three days "obviously Jamie while lowering his groceries from inside the cab that brought them home from the city market ,

" really ? " ask Elin so surprised.

" Thank you sir "he said to the taxi driver who helped bring down all their groceries, "it's so fun " elin smiled as he enjoyed the afternoon sky and the shady tree in Jamie and Larry's yard.

" Are you not tired ? " ask Jamie who feels sorry to see Elin who is troubled because she has to follow him to and fro and bring so many groceries.

" No this pleases aunt "he said.

" Well, when I'm sure you never do this" said Jamie and Elin, smiling as she continued to enjoy the afternoon air of New York City, "aunty seems like someone's coming " elin said as she saw someone sitting on Jamie's doorstep.

Jamie's lips smiled and walked so quickly to his house, "why did you just come today huh ? " he said when he was so close to the young man who had been waiting for him since, "i'm sorry aunt yesterday I couldn't leave my job" obviously the young man walked over to Jamie , " I've been waiting for aunty since "he continued to take over the groceries that were in Jamie's hands.

" Isn't this still your working hours ? "

" Yes, I asked to go home early "

" Bad brat" said Jamie annoyed, but he looked so happy.

" Oh I'm sorry "he said again when he realized he had almost forgotten the existence of Elin ,

" Come here son, you also have to get acquainted with him" said Jamie pulled the hand of Elin who was already stunned.

Jamie was a little confused when he saw Elin and the young man in front of him looking at each other without talking, "Have you guys known each other ? " sanyanya.

" Emmm.yeah, we're bi's office mates "obviously Elin is so nervous 'cause I wouldn't have expected to see David at Jamie's house.

" Oh my God, it turns out that this town is so small" said Jamie laughing and Elin could only smile wryly because David did not stop staring at her.

" it's very good if you know each other" Jamie said as he opened the door.

David still did not speak again even though he was already inside Jamie's house and was sitting not far from two women who were busy with their groceries and his eyes did not stop staring at women which today quite a distraction with the news that he is sick.

" David can you help auntie "call Jamie and the man walks closer to her, "are you just going to be quiet looking at the beautiful woman who is struggling huh " jamie said while pointing at Elin who looks to be having trouble putting some of their groceries in a place that is higher than his body.

David didn't speak but he was already moving towards Elin, "I think you're really sick" he said as he took the object from Elin's hand and put it in place ,

" Yes, I did feel a little unwell" said Elin twisting her body, but she was so shocked when she realized her body was confined by David's body that was so close to her , even the masculine scent of the man could be perfectly smelled by his nose.

" But you look fine" said David staring so deeply into Elin's eyes, that the woman had to swallow her saliva because she felt so nervous.
